Remember, the Patriarchy (and a man's child) holds women back. A child that is handed off to someone else to raise by a mother who chooses to work outside the home is not raising the child. These days The Internet is doing that with the unsupervised, but schools and daycare are also dumping grounds. I won't argue the facts. These facts are what they are to anyone with an eye to see falling birthrates and the sheer amount of "Stunning & Brave" circulating in pop culture.
Once an argument starts about facts (like :not knowing what is a woman) I refer people to any Yuri Bezmenov video on Youtube
I will have to change my name to Alfonse, and start to wear outrageous gold chains and rings that spell words on my knuckles. What should we charge: 3rd hour free seems the going rate. How about $0.10/hour? Or would that be too much?
I know a girl in the area that wants me to be her lover but only if I can text her my affection. It was the same as I travelled Europe. Chicks line up at the bar for a quickie but too emotionally unstable for a relationship. And by relationship, I do not mean Facebook. Seems I am the odd man out. I can still get a leg over and enjoy the objectification of women, whether it is money or my beard and glasses that attracts I won't say, but to actually engage is a needlessly complicated mess.
This affliction is epidemic I notice. I assume it may be the same for the gents, but I can only assume. I have no experience dating men, though myself am dated.
Hey, you're my first interaction here in .... a long time. It is comforting to be re-welcomed by strangers. I am experiencing the same thing in real life. "Real life" Is that still a thing these days?
I bought some glasses and grew a beard since the last time I was here - pre-Certification Of Vaccination. I also returned home as I promised to many here I would do. It just took me two years to accomplish it. Some of you were complaining about my doppelganger Gibson in my profile photo... well, I got myself the use of a camera (in the land where I can speak the local language) so you'll all have your moment of cringe. I hope you will enjoy it.
I have unpacked and settled, as best I can to return my attention to my novel. It will have been three years in March 2023 when I packed up my research materials and sat them at a freight forwarder while I waited until August 2020 for a plane to take off. Take off it did and it has only taken me until 15 November 2022 to land in a place suitable for living. Well, the heating system still needs a lot of work to be honest because a heated steam bath is no place for my library in winter. I am not yet ready to shave off the Asimov - my promise to myself when I truly get to work. Locals probably won't recognize me then. Watch for that photo in a post office near you soon.
Now where are my friends? I remember one WitchyWitch.... and I had a few other intrepid souls. But I cannot find this feature any longer. Has there been an upgrade here in the last 3 years? Or perhaps my friends here died? Or perhaps I died and this is some form of hellish Twilight Zone that has me forever trapped on a singles site, friendless and loveless?
Maybe someone here au courant will elucidate me? Maybe someone will even say 'Lo?
My profile needs work because of the changes so watch this space as 2023 approaches.
Essentially it is someone going down the same or similar road to me in life's journey. She could be ahead of me in some ways as I expect I will be ahead of her in some ways. A woman with a life of her own who will be part of a two person relationship; not half a person making one but two people improving and appreciating each other's journey even as they share one another other's.
Ostrich (Struthio camelus) But then I am English from Quebec, living outside Quebec, so that would not be a big surprise, would it? Also fits the conext of the Canadian-USA relationship too.
What I have observed happening here is more complex to understand than a simple consideration of responsibility or, indeed, one's financial capability. So I shared my further thoughts on the points raised in this forum here. You may find what I have written interesting or you might not, but I welcome your comments.
I was thinking about this post, in a broader context of how the question here and its related questions can apply to me, personally; and it became a blog post. You are all welcome to drop by, have a read of what I thought, and express your opinion or comment.
In the meantime, I hope you find it thought provoking and entertaining.
Since the formatting in my last post appears to have fallen into the electronic abyss when it posted, making it deus hard to quickly follow my response, I will try it again setting off what I am quoting with colour. I cannot seem to delete the above post so just disregard as a duplicate of what is below.
NO, a knight’s horse.
I am going to say, you obviously have very little dating experience with the upper tax bracket, and leave my vehement disagreement there on an Internet forum with anonymous readers. You show neither a respect for the successful people who earn their money nor a very broad experience with the management of money to make such a sweeping generalization like the above.
Well, this is dissonance between the intellectual (mind) and the emotional (body). I am saying they are both at play – always – and it is the wise person that can handle the two, especially when one subsides into the other. It is the crafty marketer who can sustain the illusion of separation. And yes, the type of advert you quote (above) is total nonsense.
You’re talking about lowering standards. That’s counter factual to the criteria implied by an active search, in my humble opinion.
For the record, I think your questions are very pertinent to sites like this one – as are all your concerns. I was attracted to your poll because your question was relevant to the site I am on. I did not come for the argument others appear to wish to make. But their attraction might be to how rather than what your post expresses your concern. How something is said is often times more important than what is said. It also betrays a kind of defensive mindset I never waste my time on.
But that said, my criticism about extrapolating from generalities, still applies.

That was certainly the corner I believed I was painted into when I came to Poland. My dating experienced resolved around going to a bar when I couldn't take the loneliness any more - kind of like Quasimodo leaving his bell tower - and picking up someone for a tryst lasting hours to months. Without money changing hands, it was no less transactional: a quid pro quo to satisfy needs but no deeper meaning ultimately as time ticked on.
I did end up with a 10 year relationship from this but after the first 6 months, and the break up, we became friends over time. By friends, I mean I listened to her problems (with her children, her new lovers, her ex-husband) feeling myself vindicated over weekly restaurant meetings for breakfast.
My last conscious thought of Canada, as I left my home was very distinctly this:
Is this it? And I have been wondering about the nature of that thought for the last 12 years in Poland. BUT, I physically brought myself to this land's culture rather than import it, along with a displaced person, to my culture.
Interesting observations, and very realistic concerns you raise. You mention things I have seen with my own eyes as a foreigner in Poland. I did not go the traditional mail order route from the comfort of my chair. I moved here.
But there is one other thing - and it is contained within my quote of you above. There is the rational thinking of complementary matching. It is certainly appealing to have a complement. But then there is the reality of the emotional attractiveness of finding such a person too - kind of like a gambler's high. I think that by separating one from the other or ignoring the emotional in favour of the rational is a set up for disaster.
Not that disaster cannot be averted just that it is more likely, in my opinion, due to the emphasis on fantasy. The White Knights on powerful destriers are not on sites like these - nor are their Ladies.
