I had a friend that was pretty good at picking up girls in person. He was a total fuckboy most of his life but for some reason when he met this one particular girl on Bumble he was so smitten by her that all his previous experiences with women collapsed.
On his first date he brought her a rose, a girl he had never met before in person, and opened the car door for her. She was so taken back by this, felt so awkward, that after the date she never spoke to him again. He was left utterly shocked and confused. He had never been chivalrous in his life before and the first time he tried he got totally burned.
Let that be a lesson to you Mmarsu
seem to have good careers and/or educational attainment
What fucking guy cares about this on a first basis attraction??? If anything any girl with a better career/education than you is going to be a fucking hassle.
Always date more attractive than you but dumber and less career oriented. Unless you're an attractive male looking for financial stability in a partner.
Well, Rahx seems to be looking for something a bit longer-term. Ymmv but I personally prefer women with a similar mindset to me in terms of career and a similar education. Maybe not necessarily an MS but at least a Bachelors. Dated someone with a HS diploma once and I quickly found it wasn't working out. We barely had anything to talk about and the second I breached any deeper topic I'd get the glazed eye stare. The most successful relationships I had were with women who had similar mindsets in terms of politics, society, religion, etc, and were willing to discuss these at a less superficial level.
Money issues are a major strain on long term relationships, too...
All fair assessments and yes money problems are probably THE biggest issues in long term relationships.
I can't date a flat out idiot, they should be somewhat comparable to you, but i don't think they should be smarter or have a better career simply because women don't like that. As much as these modern females think they do they don't.
