Yup.
Last year, I was on a dating site and it's UGLY. Most guys are looking for a "nurse or a purse." EITHER ONE will do.
The thing is, I'm 60 and while I am height/weight proportionate and healthy as a horse, I am also a solid 5-6 on the looks scale. I'm not beautiful and I'm not unattractive. I'm VERY average. And that's a deal killer for most men on these dating sites. How pathetic is that?
These guys are in their 60s and they still can't get beyond a pretty face?
Match dot com is an especially nasty version of "rate my face" and if you don't have "the look," you're in trouble.
So in the dating world, I have FOUR strikes against me: I'm average, I'm well educated, I'm smarter than the average bear, and I've enjoyed a lot of success in my chosen profession. Make it five. I'm tall.
And that's the trifecta of death in the dating world.
I've got 80-year-old married men hitting on me, and I have perennially unemployed 65-year-old men (on their third bankruptcy) wanting to snuggle up, and I've got morbidly obese men telling me all about their health problems, so for now, I'm going to travel and have a LOT of fun, and if it all works out, I'll die with $47 in my checking account because I'm going to be busy spending my children's inheritance.
But back to the OP, it'd be real easy for me to hate men as much as you hate women, because from my view, many SINGLE men are not just foolish, obtuse, shallow, small-minded and pitiable, they're downright ignorant.
However...I've also got many men in my life who've been angels and have helped me through the worst hard times. So I refuse to relegate an entire class of God's creation to the rubbish pile.
