Does dating seem impossible to anyone else? (and I'm good looking, fit & make 110k per year)

Bro, I was there... in 2009. This shyte hasn't changed in ages.

So I did what a "loser" would do and met a Chinese woman online. Best decision of my lifee.

3 kids and 13 years later, life isn't perfect, but sure beats being lonely and having a sore forearm and strained hand tendons from yanking it.

I'm a guy. Mid 30s, 5'11, fit, income about $110,000/year, get told often I am handsome. I have gone out on more than 100 first dates in my life. Finding a woman who is faithful, level-headed, agreeable, and without major baggage (children, mental illness) seems to be damn hear impossible. For the first time in my life I am starting to think marriage and kids really might just not be possible, or I might have to go abroad, something I always thought was crazy before.

Anyone else experiencing this? Dating seems like such a disaster these days.

Marriage and kids? How about just connecting with someone and seeing where it goes? You’re terrifying perfectly good women with the notion that you want to put them in some neat little box that you think is your life, instead of viewing them as human beings.

If you just want the wifey and 2.5 kids, then go abroad. And then have fun when they discard you when they’re done getting what they want, your meager net worth. $110k a year is not a flex.

The end goal for most people is marriage and kids. That is about the most normal thing a person could say, and you find issue with it?

Also, the median HOUSEHOLD income in the US is about $82,000/year. I'm not sure why people think being significantly above average bad.

What kind of relationship history do you have? How long have you been at this? 100 first dates is pretty extreme unless you're taking on literally anyone willing to kick the tires.

If you earn $110k you are making more than 75% of the US though. How is that bad?
