Just from reading, I can tell right off the top of my head a few reasons why the dude commenting above me is having trouble –

He thinks this

“It matters little that I am in great health, educated, and make very good money”

means he doesn’t have to try to appeal to women, either through personality or through that good old-fashioned “chemistry” (while we women usually have to knock ourselves out to look good for men – and then they complain about how much time, money, and energy we spend at the gym, on the wardrobe, and in the bathroom), and

all the complaining about the “free dinners”? He doesn’t have the imagination to invite a lady to a free concert at Lincoln Center (I love dudes who lead with their money, and then complain about “gold diggers”)

– and all the complaining about his age? Is he asking anyone out that’s over, say, 25 …?

Beautiful article. I really wish that (in my case) all women would read this. The very premise of what she is discussing has been my nightmare in dating. I could comment “date-by-date” but I won’t but I have witnessed pretty much everything discussed in this article — and more. In the summer of 2011 I went on 6 dates and not one has gone anywhere and it seems that each date was a chance for a free dinner. It matters little that I am in great health, educated, and make very good money. I am 49, slender, have a house and I am not bad looking but I am not Mr. GQ. I’ve never gotten a second call. One gal lasted two weeks and I really thought we would hit it off but I ended receiving the ole text dumping me. My opinion is that many women watch too my reality tv and expect whatever they’ve been fed from these shows. I don’t know. I just went on a date last Thursday and one of the first comments from this woman was how “my Fiat looks like a toy that she would give her nephew’s and niece’s as a toy for Christmas”. A buddy of mine’s wife told me that she “is looking for money and a nicer car”. She must be right because I haven’t heard from her.

good article, we can all be so fussy, and when it comes to being a disabled person i found out i was fussy too. Frtunately i met my wife the old way, at community functions that met our common interest
