[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]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!![/b]

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. [b]That the Golden Girls in this thread can’t step outside of themselves and acknowledge that is weird.[/b]

[b]And then we have a contingent of PPs who are concerned with OP being in the house all the time. 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 a "red pill" guy (see my desire to get married and have kids) but this made me lol.  And the last bolded is a good point -- I don't really see how this could be a problem for her.[/quote]

Because someone who is working, is working. They're busy with that. Not roaming the house seeking attention, critiquing your SAHM-ing, and generally being unhelpful.

And because if she has less total leisure time than he does, that's annoying no matter what time of day it is and where he's having it.

And because all the sacrifices she has to make [b]to live on $90K (yes I know OP thinks it's a lot, but it isn't)[/b] are going to really grate on her when they could be alleviated by him getting even a wee little part-time job.[/quote]

My favorite part of this entire thread might be OP continually acting like he's going to be *gifting* this hypothetical woman with a "top 10%" income when his imaginary 90k would actually only be 60k without her imaginary million-dollar contribution.  But nevermind that, he's doing her a favor of providing this lifestyle with her own money.  Which is now his, in all of his calculations, and the reason he doesn't have to work anymore.  She needs to keep working because she's getting this great gift of him taking all of her money and putting her on a budget so he can watch her work while he hobbies.  It's so circular and bizarre.[/quote]
