[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If OP has learned anything from this thread it’s that he can’t date 50 year olds that need Vitamin C treatments to assuage their aging skin.

Such a loss.[/quote]

All of the extremely hot women of DCUM have come out of the woodwork simply to tell OP that they are too hot and accomplished for OP.

Guess what? OP isn't looking for an unpleasant troll so buzz off.[/quote]

Just curious which women you think won't want some expensive skincare one day? The ones who never age a day?[/quote]

OP is 33 and being lectured by AARP members about how he can’t possibly find a girlfriend / wife because he can’t pay for some Vitamin C cream for aging skin that costs $180 for 3 months. We are not making this up lol!!

The self deluded arrogance of these PPs to think that anyone who OP would be interested in (25-33 year old women presumably, or somewhere there about) would have the same concerns or dating preferences as them is baffling. The average young adult woman would think she struck the jackpot dating a man with a paid off house and $2M in the bank. That the Golden Girls in this thread can’t step outside of themselves and acknowledge that is weird.

And then we have a contingent of PPs who are concerned with OP being in the house all the time.[b] Newsflash: a large percentage of employed men are in the house all the time right now working from home on a full or partial WFH schedule. OP is going to be as much of an annoyance as anyone who works in IT these days.[/b] [/quote]

Not at all.  My DH is home 6 days a week between WFH and weekends, but he does 50%+ of housework and parenting tasks.  It's a very different kettle of fish being in the house all day with an actual partner and being in the house all day with a bum who expects you to be constantly working because you have a uterus while he tools around on the guitar and disappears for hikes.

You can keep cherry picking 1/8 of each post to try to make OP's demands look realistic, and accusing everyone who is trying to talk some sense into him into being old/ugly/a golddigger/a harpy/a corporate slave, but you're not actually doing him any favors.  If he genuinely wants to meet someone to share his life with (and I share upthread PP's read that maybe he just doesn't, and all of this decades-long stalling and list of requirements is a way of staving off the life he thinks he's *supposed* to want), then he should be dating now and meeting actual humans to see where he will need to compromise.  Because the reality is that we all do have to compromise, and most people realize that through real-life dating experience.[/quote]
