I Wish I Was In a Great Relationship

I'm 26 years old, and I feel that every women that's in my age group, and is single, is single for a reason. Like they're so unbelievably self centered/mentally ill, or have unrealisticly high standards. While those same women have nothing (no money,no physical items, not very physically attractive), but they expect men to have ALL of that? Do single women roughly my age, or older feel the same about single men in their age group?

My niece didn't get married until she was 28. She finished college and graduate school before she thought of getting married. That was two years ago last month. She had no interest in looks, has items of her own, and she was never strapped for money - her father had/has three jobs, and she worked part-time at Target when times were lean.

Look, you're jaded right now, which is normal. Does this problem exist? I believe so, but it definitely cuts both ways, I promise you. Life has gotten materially easier over the decades in terms of survival challenges, yet - and really as a result - we have significantly fewer mental coping tools. Struggling and succeeding, sometimes failing, leads to maturity - it cannot he handed to you.

Regardless, don't let your current frustration take you out of the pool. You only need to find ONE, and there are plenty of compatible women out there. Take a different strategy to how you are looking maybe, but whatever you do, don't categorize all women age (26 or whatever) as something negative - that will 100% show in your interactions with them, which assures your failure.

@tj786100 I know not all women are like that, but I feel like it's a majority of women, and men. Men expect women to have big boobs/butts, and still remain slender. While on the other hand the man is fat, lazy, stupid, and arrogant.

Keep your head up and keep trying! Meaningful companionship is such a vital component of life.
I think a lot of girls that are younger still have the daddy's princess mentality. They don't necessarily realise "Hey this might not work out. I might need my own stuff to fall back on"

And no, i don't have any expectations from guys. I figure they'll get it together when they really need to.

@CallmeHopelessNotRomantic Okay, thanks for the answer. I'll keep that in mind.

I am 35 and is unmarried but has a boyfriend, i know so many women in my country who stay single longer because of unselfishness. We have to provide for our parents and family, after we finished school, we are expected to send our younger siblings to school, buy a house for our family, if we are unlucky, stay single forever to care for our aging parents. I am not sure how it is in the west but in the Philippines, most single women are providers for their families, sometimes at the end of the day we have nothing to show for it.

Most people are shallow and dopey sadly.

My sister-in-law has one dog (family), two parakeets, and she is already laying claim to my cockatiel (to which I told my brother it will be HIS if I die before he does. You would think I had one foot already in the grave and waiting for a push.) Pet food isn't cheap, in any case. I admire you for taking care of animals that can't wait on themselves.
ScottyTaco · 31-35, M
@MaryJanine That's not good. Also, thanks. I treated her animals like they were mine.
MaryJanine · 61-69, F
And I am sure they knew that, too. Pets always know who is good to them. Not just feeding or walking them, either. They return that love - mostly, with their eyes. My sister-in-law doesn't understand that. She will stare at Lucky (the dog) and he will eventually look up at her like, what do you want? And she screams at him, "Don't DO that! Don't STARE at me!" I know all the dogs I ever had did that to me, saying I-love-you that way. You are good to animals, and they try to tell you in the only way they know how.

No, that is poor analysis

Judging by the way you put value to a woman’s worth,is it any wonder you’re not able to connect with one.

Maybe it is you.

@ScottyTaco Common denominator and all. 🤷‍♂️
ScottyTaco · 31-35, M
@Zonuss They're the only ones that I'm attracted to, and the only ones (that I notice) that are attracted to me. Both of my ex's were the same.
tj786100 · 51-55, M
@ScottyTaco Friends and family won't be honest, typically. Most people lack the ability (whether guts or perceptibility) to give honest constructive criticism - especially to those they like!

I know strong, intelligent, self-driven women exist.

If you're attracted to the not-so-self-driven, and they to you, by definition, isn't it you that needs to find the change (TO YOU!)
