You basically said you want a good looking guy with money but what girl doesn’t? To me a short term thing is about the exterior things like money, looks, or a spark but a long term connection is about all the other intangibles. So what should a normal looking guy who doesn’t make a lot of money and wants a true connection with another person do in this situation?

 

(With apologies to NRG42, because I don't mean she's shallow....) 1. Recognize that you're not necessarily going to get the hot girl that just wants a good-looking guy with money and then.. 2. Rejoice that there are lots of other women out there that might not be as hot but are way more interesting and appreciate more than money and looks and then.... 3. Figure out what you DO have to offer and capitalize on it.

I could not agree more!!!  Figure out who you are, what you need and stop trying to fit into what society thinks is acceptable.

Wow, IMO you guys are reading way to into the emails. 

Exchange words and meet in person, chemistry will trump words everytime! 

I agree.  But something has to "hook" you and make you want to meet them, no? 

I guess I am more like a boy, I look at their picture, height, kids requirement, and profession (yes $$) and if they are in the ball park. 

I exchange numbers and say let's meet, spent a couple of times investing WAY too much time going back and forth, to find in person there was NO chemistry.

I would usually say......

Normal profile, and good looks.....yup us women are visual too!

More pictures and words if needed but to really know if this "works" meeting in person works best for me.

don't date women that value money.  easy enough.  just like people are allowed to limit themselves with an age range, they can limit themselves with a salary requirement.  if you don't value money, you probalby wouldn't have a successful relationship with someone who does, anyway.

and PS not all girls are only after money and looks, but way to lump us all together and judge...

I also believe dating is a TON of fun, and people don't take full advatage of it and enjoy that phase of the relationship.  And take it for what it is worth.....it is a date not a marriage. 

I go on A LOT of dates, also live in a city of 3M people so different for me (I am guessing), but I have never been on a date where I did not learn something, and honestly I am pretty sure, I laugh on all of them.  Even when I found out the one guy had boobs bigger than mine!!!!

In fact I even met girls on the dating site, knowing that when I moved to the city (away from my suburban friends-who thought I was the devil for leaving my sexy, nice, husband) that I would need friends with like interests and who enjoyed "hunting".

I learn a s h i tload  about myself and even surprised myself on what I thought I liked vs what I really needed.  Dating is what you make it.  Just don't go out with too many expectations.....BUT know your boundries.

A lot more women need to take this approach.  It seems as though a lot of women are looking for their "soul mate" and put it in their profile.  

It seems to me that when you publish this on a dating site, you are putting the cart before the horse.  Hell, you haven't even responded to my email yet, and your talking soul mates.  

It's a date - not marriage.  Let's chat a bit - you get comfortable I am not a crazy stalker, then let's go do something fun!

But if they are truly looking for a "soul mate" (as opposed to just casual dating) and a criteria point for their match is someone who feels the same, why not put that?

I see it as no different than you putting up front you don't want any more kids. Hell you haven't even responded to my email yet, but you're talking kids.

See what I did there?

You keep on trying until you find someone that likes you for the kind of person you are, for what you stand for, for what you believe in and not for what you have or what you do! 

Exactly!  She doesn't have to be the perfect woman - just perfect for me.

Sorry I guess I was unclear before I wasn't meaning what a guy does to get NGR but in general so Deanna's answer is what I was looking for. From what I have seen in internet dating people seem to be unrealistic in what they think they deserve or who they will talk to then they complain that either dating sucks or there is no one good out there so that is the bad part of internet dating were people look at it like shopping rather than dating.

I wouldn't know.

Really, though, being wealthy AND good-looking I find it so exhausting fending off the women who want me for my wallet and looks and not my personality. There's a person inside here, ladies, the hunky, manly, dashingly handsome, tall, broad-shouldered exterior is just that, a hunky, manly, dashingly handsome, tall, broad-shouldered exterior.

My life is rough, so rough in fact I'm going to fly to the the Netherland Antilles on my private jet and cry myself to sleep on my private beach. As soon as my man-servant fetches my car.

I am not sure what it is so evil/shallow and wrong to care about a man's career, success and stability.  I want him to care about mine too.  Shows that I know how to work hard, have a brain, been a responsible adult with my finances, and I care about having money when I am ready to retire. 

I don't see any of these being a bad thing!!!

That's why I said I don't think you're shallow. I supported my husband throughout my marriage. I'm not looking to do it again. I also don't need to be with someone with a 6 figure income. (I don't have one and I'm perfectly comfortable!) I just want a guy to be self-sustaining financially. Seems like a totally reasonable request to me.

But, there are definitely women out there looking for the 6 figure income, and I know guys that have lamented that fact. My opinion? Good riddance. You dodged a bullet if they dump you because you're not rich.

I think I see the problem; it's either the hairy teeth or the improper punctuation that's scaring them off.

Love it.  I suppose hairy teeth would scare away most women.    

Just wondering...have we talked about what kinds of photos you're putting in your match profile?  Maybe that's something to look at too?

Nothing at all wrong with it. In fact, I went out with a veterinarian once that did very well for herself and she was telling me that most men she'd dated actually had a problem with her making more than them, they found it emasculating.

If nothing else, you're preempting all of that by at least seeking an equal. The only flip side I can offer is that what someone currently makes is only what they currently make, it isn't necessarily who they are or what they are capable of... sometimes, it's just a matter of present circumstance.

I am with you D, also the main supporter of a family of 4 and earned good coin with A LOT to show for it.  Left my marriage, and gave him basically everything, I wanted out and I pay him because he raises our children, along with a nanny and my help.

So I don't want to go through that exercise again, not looking for early retirement and love what I do!

AND we all know I love a man in a good, well tailored SUIT!

I am not sure what it is so evil/shallow and wrong to care about a man's career, success and stability.  I want him to care about mine too.  Shows that I know how to work hard, have a brain, been a responsible adult with my finances, and I care about having money when I am ready to retire. 

I don't see any of these being a bad thing!!!

 

That's why I said I don't think you're shallow. I supported my husband throughout my marriage. I'm not looking to do it again. I also don't need to be with someone with a 6 figure income. (I don't have one and I'm perfectly comfortable!) I just want a guy to be self-sustaining financially. Seems like a totally reasonable request to me. But, there are definitely women out there looking for the 6 figure income, and I know guys that have lamented that fact. My opinion? Good riddance. You dodged a bullet if they dump you because you're not rich.

I am with you D, also the main supporter of a family of 4 and earned good coin with A LOT to show for it.  Left my marriage, and gave him basically everything, I wanted out and I pay him because he raises our children, along with a nanny and my help.

So I don't want to go through that exercise again, not looking for early retirement and love what I do!

AND we all know I love a man in a good, well tailored SUIT!

Can I be your wingwoman when I come visit in a few weeks???

YES, the damage will be sereve.

Hey you ever check out if we could have a sleep-over?
