What are his politics, could impact things. However I have known plenty of far left and far right who have met their match in DC.

The answer also really depends on if “average” height is closer to 5’8 or 6’0.


AI says average height for a college-educated white U.S. man is almost 5’11” !


The average height for a male in the US is 5’9.

Where did OP say that this guy is white?

Pay is not low! You live in a bubble.


Exactly. Probably 90% of 30 year olds have debt, earn less or are still trying to find a good job.

But otherwise, it sounds good on paper. Saying you have an interesting personality or financial strong family are pretty vague/subjective though.


Not a problem if you've high potential yourself or better, actualized your potential. You can comfortably date potential instead of marring someone older with baggage or someone you aren't attracted to.

Interesting personality signals someone easy to date and befriend. Family finances signal no debt or draining.

Does women really date income? Do they bring similar income to the table themselves? Would these transactional relationships last or bring joy to life?

Why are you putting East Asian women down? People date other people, not their heights.

And there it is, lol…


No drinking. No drugs. No debt. No delusions of grandeur. Not a good fit for DC?


No drinking would be a dealbreaker for me. Are you Mormon?


Most people in health and longevity don't drink anymore or if they do, only rarely. You can't call them drinkers.

I know there are Facebook groups for even the smallest of schools where people network and go to meet ups. There are also kickball leagues and running clubs.

I think your base salary may be a bit low, but if you have potential, women will overlook it. Good luck!


He is moving in a month so not there yet. Thank you!

Good long term potential. No debt. Small inheritance.

Is your family toxic?

Dude, you're screwed. Unless your are named Brad, Chad, Tad, or Tripp, it's over. Add to that name being 6'2", wearing a backwards baseball cap like JFK Jr., and interested in sailing, you will be dating, if you are lucky, the counter girl at a fast food place.

Actually, unlike a previous poster, think there is nothing wrong with an average woman. Unless you are on DCUM, home of the top 1% of women.
