You guys are silly, splitting hairs over world bank salaries. One person says they are making 300k in their 60's, but instead many are in their 50's. Nobody cares.

Nobody wants to date these old hens when there are younger Asian babes and latinas available.

Classic DCUM - somebody who actually works at the World Bank vs. somebody who knows google.

You don't become a World Bank manager after selling shoes at Foot Locker. You need promotable skills in development economics, statistics, or finance. I sent a Ph.D. graduate in his 30's to the World Bank. Most people don't get serious credentials for international development in their 20's. So most senior managers would hit $300K in their 50's, and plateau in their 60's.

BTW, the World Bank cafeteria is excellent; IIRC they share it with the IMF. Try to visit on days without protests, so you can see the reptilian aliens who manage the global conspiracies.

Some men have distinct preferences. If they like blondes, they travel to Scandinavia. If they like Asian women, they hang out in traffic court.

I needed this laugh!

Please, be familiarized with salary scale of your own organization. It’s the higher range of a rather middle level GH specialist with 20+ years of service. Eg by mid 40s for many. Good luck !

I’ve noticed no major differences and have little respect for men who pull the “American woman can’t compare” card.

If you've never dated women outside the US then of course you wouldn't notice a difference. Ignorance is bliss I guess. Enjoy those DC hotties buddy.

Thanks, pal! It's being going great so far.

DC women are very international and diverse in all age groups. Grad students from all over the world; ex spouses of international orgs staff. These are usually foreign born women from upper class families or the women selected for their beauty abroad by ex husbands, and then brought to the US. Lifestyle and beauty are correlated. Not sure why any man would need to travel abroad to find a woman, if he lives in dmv area with such huge selection

Depending on the country, it can be like night and day in terms of the number of quality women you can date relative to the US. There is a reason none of these guys date American women.

What you are saying is true about foreign born women in the DC area, but as people inevitably assimilate, they tend to lose their redeeming qualities that you initially found attractive.

You are just not well-off enough to date attractive foreign women in DC. This full assimilation never really happens culturally. Looks also remain with the woman if she’s a real beauty she’ll age well. If she had a wealthy family to send her for a grad program or married into US, very likely she’s got great genes - both intelligence and beauty. But foreign born women mature financially very quickly; by 30 y.o. in DC, if they have a good degree. They don’t date “regular” man just because a beautiful woman with brain and money has options. Accent or cultural background don’t matter. Execs in dmv area often date foreign born women of all ages. Agree that if you go abroad, the women there wouldn’t have as many options. But you also have to deal with negative selection: wh…res, who are only with you for money; girls who barely speak English, not as good of a gene pool, etc.

Yeah, the more attractive foreign women in DC will generally be pursuing guys willing to spend lots of cash on them. And no doubt, if you are an executive, you have a lot more options. But these women are more interested in $ than anything else, so they aren't a whole lot better than your avg striver type American woman in the DC area.

The big advantage to dating in other countries is the number of available women. You are looking at a dating pool of 2 million people in a large Latin American city vs maybe something like 50k foreign women in DC.

No, they are not pursuing any men- men are pursuing attractive women. Overall deficit of men doesn’t affect attractive females. And in terms of cash - you do realize that a long term specialist at WB/IMF group makes around 300k, right? Women simply try to date equals as we don’t like to trade down our lifestyle. If he’s not used to gym, cleaning ladies, good food I’m not there to change him. And he’ll think I’m
spoilt just because I already have access to all these services. I want to have similar spending habits as my partner; not more and not less

We aren't talking about you or women making 300k (hardly the norm, even in DC), so not sure why you are defensive. But you do sound high maintenance with an unhealthy focus on money. No way any guy in his right mind would date someone like that in your home country.

I wouldn’t date anyone in my home country. I’m light years ahead in many life aspects. But you sure can bring a submissive wife until she drops you after getting a green card

Looks like besides being "light years ahead" haha, you've also managed to adopt a crap attitude.

Some men are below average wealth or height in DC, but above-average in other countries.

Asian men (and black women) struggle to find dates in the U.S., because of prevailing racial preferences.

Some men have distinct preferences. If they like blondes, they travel to Scandinavia. If they like Asian women, they hang out in traffic court.

The pickier women get, the older they get. The dating pool deteriorates for both genders.

This thread is full of women keyboard jockeys, writing about consent, Jane Austen, and contracts. Many YouTube videos show women struggling to get dates when they impersonate men on Tinder. I will kiss a woman on the first date. This will resolve any ambiguity, and kindle the mood of the next date. If she rejects, then I saved us both time. While you are drafting a 5th-date consent contract, I would be closing the deal with a mature, no-nonsense woman.

This is true. I am friends with two women who are divorced and will probably be single forever because their laundry list of must-haves isn’t reasonable and they aren’t willing to make any compromises. One has been single for almost ten years, the other two. They deserve only the best and shouldn’t have to settle

By single do you mean no relationships or just not remarried yet?

They’re both very attractive so they date a lot. The one who’s been single for almost ten years sometimes goes on multiple dates each week. No one meets her standards. She’s amassed a bunch of guy friends but I don’t think she’s had a relationship for longer than three or four months since her divorce.

Haha - maybe just ALL men she meets are at her standard? That’s me: I fly with IT exec to NY for one weekend; a MD guy takes me to his cabin on a lake to work during the week; a senator to his bachelor pad in SF when two other guy friends are busy with work. One proposed but I really just enjoy my dating life as a foreign wealthy woman in dmv. Golfing, tennis, travels, art exhibits and meeting all these interesting guys.
