[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It may be that the men that most women want to date are unavailable.  My foster son is a 5'6" man who works as a bank teller and has an associates degree.  He has a normal apartment that he shares with a roommate.  He is a great guy who is putting himself out there and open to a relationship, but not having success.  [/quote]

5’6 he needs to settle for any woman. [/quote]

Not true. He needs to get a grad degree, dress stylish, and start making $500k+.  My tenant is 5’6 he’s making that at age 35 at a biotech company. He rents a penthouse at $7/month with a very cute 5’2 wife who is a doctor. 
Plenty of women are under 5’6 height and would be interested in a good looking well earning relationship stable man. [/quote]
+1 I think it's fine if you are making good money but have one roommate to save if you live in a hcol.  I knew guys like this in the Bay Area where I used to live.

One of the guys I knew like that was someone I dated in college who, as it happens, worked as a bank teller while working through college. He graduated, and got a job making near six figures after a few years.  He had a lot of debt coming out of college, so he roomed with someone to pay down that debt after he got a job.  I did not mind dating someone like that (didn't work out for us) because  I knew he would eventually be debt free and doing well.  I had zero debt myself and was making probably about the same as him.    He eventually got married.  So, it really depends on why he has a roommate.

It's the AA degree working as a teller that's off putting for most educated women.  These women aren't necessarily looking for a wallet, but they want an equal partner.

Is he working towards a bachelor's degree in a good paying field? [/quote]
