The world has changed. I don't think your asking for too much. I would travel if I were you and see that not all attitutes are the same as here. There are places where you are appreciated respected and needed.
I'll be truthful here and I don't speak for everyone of course but the majority of guys look for a neat slim women just like most women look for a neat healthy male. I was just in Prague for 6 weeks on business. I'll tell you slim is nice, so is acting like a lady and without all this feminist stuff. I am now dating a european and its refreshing.
I think alot of women slam slim women to compensate for there lack of dicipline. The statement real women have curves is correct but overweight is overweight. A medical guide will tell you weight and height. I was just in europe east europe women there take better care of themselves without being skinney. Men here are starved for beautiful women because there is just not enough of them so they have to settle. Its unfortunate because alot of these women who say I am comfortable with my weight won't wear a bikini at the beach and are really not happy.
I read your reply stating that us men are weaker than women emotionally and really only good for proceating and being servants. Ridiculous statement. If you beleive that a women will never respect you.
You seem like a cool guy. I don't think your too old. Alot of that attitde has to do with where you live. I live in Calgary and its the same sort of picky demanding stuff. I am on business now currently in prague czech rep. I tell you the strangle hold women in the west have over men does not apply here. Too many women not enough money. Beauty is overwelming. Only advice if you come here. Loose any attitude you might have possibly learn a bit of czech dress a bit better and drink at the bar which is full of women I might add. None of what I said implies your not a gentleman
