I would not suggest leading with that idea when talking to girls, LOL. Girls be wanting their man to pay for all the stuffs.
life was more fun when I was younger.

Do most wives spend all the money? I would think if I had one it would make things easier assuming she worked. Or are you just saying she limits what you can do and buy? I suppose it's hard to find a woman who can manage money sensibly. I wouldn't know, they never really stick around long enough for me to find out.

Now it's all coming together
The dating scene is a wreck right now. It seems like the young females have lost their minds, they just act crazy. My 26 y.o. son is the total package. Very attractive (people mention this all the time), degreed, highly intellegent, athletic, sucessful, and doing very well financially. Hes a high school history teacher, soccer coach, and has a sucessful income producing YouTube channel too. Problem is, he is 5'11" instead of 6'4", conservative instead of liberal, and he is white instead of black.
Crazy females accept a date, but then they don't show up and/or "ghost" him. Or they show up once and act crazy and stupid. I call it the "Taylor Swift" syndrome they have. They want to hate and disrespct solid young men. Way too much attitude and they are not interested in the concept of marriage. Its just sad right now. Don't give up though, the right one will come.

Sounds like my problem. Never been able to figure out what they want. What they say and what they want are two different things. Have probably had 200 first dates over the last 5 years. I don't even bother now.
Don't give up! The right one is out there, she is just harder to find. My advice would be to network through extended family, Churches, and friends.
I blame social media, mostly. They spend all their time in an echo chamber of stupid.

I agree. They have too many options now.
Taylor Swift and others are literally wrecking the underpinnings of our society.
I don't even place most of the blame on celebrities. It's more that they never experience real life and absorb a bunch of dumb ideas and assumptions about what being a real human being is. For example, they don't seem to spend any time with people outside their age group.
Buddy of mine did that with a girl he was seeing in college. She lived at home with her parents and one night mid-window he met her father standing outside with a G17, be careful these days youngins - LOL
My wife makes more than double than I do. I made more when we were first married however. But she puts in more time with her job than I do mine so I do the laundry, cleaning and chores around the house.
Ultimate frisbee is a good way to find reasonable women. The fact that they do a sport at all, is good, and they can cope with the fact that men tend to be better athletes and they can still enjoy playing.
Of course, if your son is a jerk to women, that will show up too!
It is kind of hard for women to outspend men on 'stuff'. Even a closet full of shoes and purses falls far short....
Not my boat, just a generic pic. But that is my plane.

I think women spend a similar amount. It's just in smaller quantities over timeIt is kind of hard for women to outspend men on 'stuff'. Even a closet full of shoes and purses falls far short....

Doesn't a plane cost as much as a house? That's probably $180k right there? That boat looks old and probably only $45kIt is kind of hard for women to outspend men on 'stuff'. Even a closet full of shoes and purses falls far short....

I've gotten better prospects when I wasn't looking vs when I did but being single has never bothered me. A good friend of mine always complains about not finding a 'good girl'. I always tell him to stop sounding like he's so desperate to find someone and just work on himself, enjoy life as it is, and everything else will fall into place. Guys have their host of problems too so really they're wondering if you're a good match and not like every other guy too.
As my cousin put it: you're going to be working for the next 30 years of your life anyways, might as well enjoy life while you're going through it.
I'm 34, and I might have just as much fun now as when I was younger. It's all perspective. I like to think of the high school years as a lot of fun, but it was because life was simpler. I had a lot of friends, just got my license, and rode ATVs for fun. I also had a minimum wage job, zero responsibilities, and almost no money.
College sucked for me, even though most people view it as really fun. I had no social life, and worked a full-time job while paying for school as I went. I had even less money and more responsibilities, not to mention I was a skinny shy kid with no clue about talking to women.
Now I have more money, more responsibilities, and even less time working a full-time job and a side business. I have fewer friends, but they are better friends. Family is important, your relationships with friends and your reputation is important. Be the man you would want to be friends with, or date. Trust me once you do this getting dates will be easy. Delete social media, it's too easy to compare yourself to others who 99% of the time are unhappy and fake in real life.
As far as women, dating is a mess. People don't know what they want, focus on social media too much, and are flaky. Focus on you. A lot of it is mental. I hit the gym each morning and lift weights. I'm not some jacked guy, but I'm in pretty good shape with a decent amount of muscle. It helps your mindset and you feel better each morning after doing a good workout. Nobody needs to get married right away. Stop trying to find the "right one" and instead look for the "right one for YOU". You need to be happy with yourself first, and don't go searching for someone who will make you happy, find someone who fits into your life and what you want, not the other way around.

I know two of those guys - both married Brits and they spend a fortune on horses …I guess you've avoided the horse ladies?
