@NightinGal89 Master’s degree in what? Gender Studies or Electrical Engineering? I once asked a bunch of Asian female students in my University what they are studying, and they said TESL, pronouncing it as tessle, as if everyone knows what that is. I asked what that is. It’s “Teaching English As A Second Language”. Didn’t know there’s a degree for that.

@NghtMonster I don't choose women based on looks. I have degrees in physics and industrial design. I'm currently worth US9mil. My gf didn't go to college. She is broke. She isn't gorgeous. I keep her around because she has no temper, doesn't yell at me, doesn't tell me what to do, doesn't whine on and on about how others have it better and I need to man up to give her that. Men look for women with maternal nature. Men look for good candidates to be a caring mother of their children. Stop going to clubs and think that's all men. I'm 53 and have never been to bars or clubs. I'm one very, very boring dude. I travel to look at other culture's architecture, city planning, and I go on ski trips, that's all. Women don't know men like me exists, we are invisible.

@midori4760 That's a big part of why they are failing to to start a family. They are older, but they believe they have more to offer than women a decade+ younger than them because they have a master's degree. Men do not care. That's like unemployed men in deep debt with no chance of regaining any financial security saying, "I'm good tempered, very maternal, young and pretty, I'd rather be at home with kids than shopping, I enjoy making my home a comfortable environment for my family, I'll see my wife's family as my own family. So I am the catch women can only dream for. A women will have to top all these great qualities I have or there's no point in me compromising just to get married."

@well-blazeredman6187 No man ever said they deserve a tall wealthy pretty woman on the basis that they are thrifty.

@daveevad3524 Yes. Men with wealth can afford to have a stay at home mom. Most men are also content with very little. Only power hungry politicians lacking resources are attracted to women with resources and power connections.

@well-blazeredman6187 It isn’t just frugal men who don’t care about women having a degree. Billionaires don’t care either. I am frugal in a sense that I don’t waste money on luxury boutiques, but I recently gave my gf US$100k to setup an investment account she never had so I can mentor her how to invest. She didn’t go to college. She doesn’t work. I let her sleep till noon. Why do I tolerate this? She has no temper, she doesn’t argue and she doesn’t tell me what to do what not to do.

@well-blazeredman6187 Generous successful men care even less about his potential wife having a degree, because he can afford to let her stay at home. I know a mom with two kids planning for 3rd. When she met her husband, he was already making 200k a year. She served him coffee every morning at Starbucks. She was two decades younger than him. That was how they met.

@Commentator488 Where did I say women can’t do those things?

@Commentator488 Never said any women have to be what I like. Can some men choose not to be providers, choose not to work, and be stay at home dads who take good care of their children while their wives provide? Can they choose to be more concerned with looking young and healthy instead of improving household finances? Yes. They can. They can be whatever they want. But them seeing themselves the catch over “traditional” men who provides, is them being delusional, and them believing women aren’t interested in them are just intimidated by them breaking gender mold, is them being delusional.

@Commentator488 Never said any women have to be this way or any men have to be that way. Anyone can be and do whatever they want. But if they think having qualities of what they look for in opposite sex makes them a catch, they are being delusional. Women who are financially capable still look for men who are financially even more capable. And btw, it’s Southeast Asian poor countries that we see women working in typically men’s jobs, like hauling cement, driving trucks, cleaning sewers, etc. because they don’t have a choice. Statistics show western progressive wealthy countries where women have most options, have highest ratio of full time moms, because they have the financial luxury to have that choice.
