[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]For every reasonably-attractive, single, non-gay, non-playboy, non-insane man, in his 30s, who comes from a "good family," and is making at least $150K, there are probably at least 30-50 attractive women in their 20s and 30s. And, I honestly think that's being conservative. [/b]

Some people suggest leaving DC, but that might not be a good idea. I don't think DC women realize how much of an affluent bubble this place is. Yes, the cost-of-living is lower, but most men outside of DC/NYC/SF/Boston are relatively uneducated and make $30-80K/year. If they have a degree at all, it's from the local state university -- and I don't mean a "respectable" flagship, like Michigan. And they will almost certainly regard OP as a condescending snob.

OP, in order to beat the odds, you will need to approach dating like it's a business. Research different social scenes, figure out who the available men are. Make it a full time job. You should also consider dating older men.[/quote]

I disagree with this.  When I was single not to long ago I never had a shortage of eligible men to date and I married someone OP would approve of.  The idea that there are 30-50 eligible women for each man is an extreme exaggeration. [/quote]

I also disagree with this.  I meet men in the OPs target demographic constantly.

[b]This sort of thing is said by a woman who these kinds of men aren't interested in.[/b][/quote]

Or it's said by a man in his 30s who never got laid in his 20s and is excited he finally has slightly better odds than the average woman.  [/quote]

The fear mongering for 30something women is INSANE on dcum.

Just anecdotally I do not know ANY 30something woman who was not obese who had difficulty getting a high earning man. ANY decent looking 30something woman gets as much attention from men now than she did in her twenties.

If she does not it must be because she is fat or ugly.

I hear the "there aren't any good men left" stuff from women far more than I hear a similar sentiment from men of that same age.

And there is a huge difference between getting a decent man to sleep with you vs getting him to marry you. [/quote]

That's because men pick women based on looks while many women are more future oriented.  And yes a lot of stupid women easily sleep with the man before a commitment. The smart ones don't.[/quote]
