At 30 most women my age either have kids or psychological issues, but younger ones are too annoying to tolerate.

All you could manage was a 2:27?

If you want to be legit you should at least get the B standard. Although better to get the A .

If not, stick to ladies who are fat and slow like yourself.

Hey there, genius troll. Have YOU looked in the mirror lately? Ha ha , the joke's on you. Own it, live with it.

15 years from now on there'll be sentient sex-bots who'll recite Faust for you while fingering your prostate. Women will become obsolete then.

Imagine what women have to choose from.

American men are fat, sloppy, poorly dressed, poorly groomed, angry, sarcastic, and self-obsessed.

Men expect women to be in great shape, wear nice clothes, be done-up with make up and nice haircuts, have bubbly personalities, and to be loyal, supportive, and uplifting.

Take a look at every man you pass tomorrow. Disgusting. Most of them waddle because of their weight, but they all claim they hurt their knees in football. Tube socks. Cargo shorts. Giant cell phone clipped to their belt. Gut. Terrible facial hair. And within the last 60 seconds they probably farted, belched, or spit.

Perhaps you need to see the good in the younger ones. Also, try and see their potential. It also sounds like you are dating the wrong women, that or you are so terribly impatient and easily agitated that most everyone bothers you. The problem could lie with you honestly.

I thought women preferred big fat dudes instead of runners?

Single mothers? Look, I am sure there are some good single mothers out there But dealing with the hassles of someone else's kids? Dealing with kids who no matter how fair and mature you are will hate you (I get it)? Dealing with the ex? Single mothers look great up front because after work, taking care of their kids, and watching Paw Patrol 15 times a month, they are likely on their best when they can grab adult time. But since there are any number of single women out there, I don't get even looking seriously at single mothers.

Dang. I had to look that one up and you're right. If you're not an over weight man you're a minority.

It must be very difficult even recognizing other people in a room given your greatness. Does the light bounce too brightly off your halo?

Most marriageable women want to settle down between 24-28. Any longer and they risk not being able to procreate.

Dafaq? It's not that hard to get pregnant in your early 30s.

Why in the world would we want to make ourselves appealing to women in ways they value? Did you forget I have a PhD?

Clearly you are the problem because every guy posting on this thread, including me, has a PHD, making six figures, and running a 2:30 marathon. Did I mention how great I look as a scrawny distance runner in the running shorts I wore on my last date?

Why do you hate men?

I would say there are about 1%. And roughly about as many guys as gals:)

I agree it is tough for our 6'3, 460k/year, 140 iq OP to find a date. Just not a lot of people out there like that. Relax your standard to top 10% and your options go way up.

I am being somewhat facetious but there is a certain truth to the reality of that for some people there are less matches out there. If your average IQ, 50% of the population will be in the range that you can get along with pretty well without a major mismatch. Get up to the top 2% and you are looking at more like 10-20%. Same thing with income (i.e. how many woman are going to be remotely my equal and bring in say 200-400k like I do? Not many). And so on. Now you can trade some stuff off (I really don't care much what you make)

The tough part for guys is that the rankings isn't quite as clear as it is for woman. It makes it easy for 4-5 guys to end up thinking they are 8s. And yes there are definitely delusional woman out there also. Just haven't seen them in anywhere near the same quantity.

I'm 30 and have gone out with about 20 different women in the last 8 months. I find that almost all available women in their late 20s and beyond either already have children or have significant psychological issues (or both). However, women in their early 20s are extremely annoying,... :(

I have a relative who was once in your situation. He thought that no women was worthy of him either because they had kids, were divorced, drank, smoked, etc. He was holding out for a supermodel, who was pure in body and soul. He looked for such a women all his life until his mid 40's.

He finally found a women he liked, although she was in her early 30's and a bit overweight. Within a month he proposed to her, because he did not want this one to get away. Later he found out that she was divorced, had a kid from a different marriage, and belonged to a different religion that she would not switch from. Despite this, he continued on with the relationship, got married, and had a few kids of his own.

And guess what happened! Nothing. He continues to live a normal happy life with a wife that is no supermodel. The moral of the story is to find someone you'll be happy with, and don't worry about perfection, because you won't find it.

Unless the 30 year old childless and never married woman recently received her doctorate or just completed her residency, you're probably better off going with the single mom. Let's assume that 50% of single mothers are such because their ex was a dbag who ruined the relationship. Chances are many of these are a good girl and you'll seem like a prince compared to the ex.

Most people want to be married for a couple of years and settled in their home and jobs before they knock out a couple kids.

Here is a breakdown:

Married at 26, 1st kid at 29, 2nd kid at 32. Done. Married at 30, first kid at 33, 2nd kid at 36 puts you in the danger zone.

Anything beyond 35 for men and women puts you at increased risk for birth defects, infertility and a host of other maladies.

Various studies have pinned the ideal age between 26 and 31.

I think your heart is in the right place. One thing that stands out is you essentially just described yourself as the top 1%. I think everyone feels this way. However, most of the time, we're not aware of our own faults, be they psychological shortcomings, inability to compromise, interest in someone else other than yourself, or something as simple as good conversational skills.

Your list described you as someone good on paper. But what else do you have to offer other than income and a 2:27 marathon PR?

Make sure you have an open heart. You sound like a good guy, just keep your ego out of it. Find a woman whom you have good conversation with, good sex, and fun/can laugh with. If you want to settle down, you will have to do some settling. It's inevitable. A partnership isn't about finding the perfect match, it's about finding someone close enough and then meeting each other halfway. Your partner will likely have to settle a bit for you, as well, and it's totally fine.

What's worse for you, settling with someone who has major baggage and issues, or being single the rest of your life?

If it's the former, keep looking but don't expect anything, so you won't be disappointed.

If it's the latter, marry the next person you date.

And 50% of the time your dating a crazy psycho who ruined the relationship.

I took chance on a single 35 year old with children and some psychological issues i.e. former husband was a abusive douch . turns out we were both college runners who met wrong mates made mistakes and took a chance on each other best decision ever. She gave me two more children is getting her nursing degree and i am in the best running shape in 20 years and she is to. You just take a leap of faith. But she don't run then pass ?
