The truth is us from the north are even too independent. Try feeling like a man when your spouse is making the same money, driving the same cars and basically telling you to fuck off if you even ask them to clean the house.

I'm ten years older than she is, and my friends always keep asking about her but thos sorry fuckers seriously are better of with a bottle of lube and tissues than a real person (not even kidding, 34+ single men tend to be very, very sad. It takes effort to try to appear happy alone)

She had had a tough week, so starting this knowing you guys made her laugh when it was truly needed. I called her this morning and told her I'm buying her a cat. At least that'll eat her face after she dies alone.

I fall into the 34+ category and I'm very happy with the life I've worked for......I'd just like to someday find a best friend to share life with

Most of my male friends feel the same way.....we've worked hard, made some sacrifices in life and would like a GF who is also a professional.....I dont want a trophy, I want a best friend who's a woman who has actually done something with her life too.

I think you're way off on the "Man" and woman being independent/domestic thing

A guy can be a "Man" without the woman necessarily being "traditional" in terms of roles

And a woman can be a "Woman" while having a career/nice car of her own etc etc

One of the biggest problems in my last relationship was that my ex DIDNT want to really be an adult. earn her own money and have a useful career/purpose....she just wanted a token job and for me to take care of everything......I didnt want a dependant......I wanted a best friend.

My cute cousin is looking for a guy. She's 22, she's not interested in your money, hell you don't even have to be good looking. She wants a smart guy tho.

PM me for more details. Lol

I also have a friend who's a Prince looking for someone who can shelter some of his money.

You're right of course, I see this in my life and I would never in real life even suggest more traditional roles being needed. That post needed serious editing but I ran out of battery.

I meant, it's tough on men, especially for those who saw their lives going one way, and us women here walk out earlier and easier when shit hits the fan because we can. It truly seems like relationships are for the time being instead of trying to stick with them. Of course the ones living in hell stay there here too, so this only applies to women who are doing well anyway.

The example mentioned, my friends. Too many of them got married for the first time around the same time as I did, too many of those failed for reasons I can only guess about and then and this summer all the time we spent together was at someones "ding dong the bitch moved away" parties for the second serious attempt for a relationship failing. The guys just weren't putting in the work needed if you ask me, and they now pretend they are young and happy, while they cook their microwave dinners home alone.

Marrying for love only seems stupid, marrying your best friend and the person you truly can not live without seems like the way to go. I'm sure you will find your happily ever after because you've obviously thought about your goals.

Just gimme the babies when you get to that part. My kids are too big these days and I really could use a few more diaper machines.

Aww. Let me know where she finds her happiness and I'll ship my friend to a similar location.

Always so nice to read from you. You clearly are a happy individual.

Luckily, I brainwashed my wife before she realized that she was a much better catch haha. Nearly two decades later, it's just easier to deal with me and all the stuff I don't bring to the table.

Funny how people say "smart"

Seems to be a very subjective term.

Harvard educated but fails to see how to incorporate life skills into this thing we call "life"?

A balance of book smarts and street smarts?

Does having a high EQ show one's intelligence? What if they are average in terms of IQ but have a super high EQ?

EQ is for all of my PMPs out there.

You guys all say that but I don't see this actually transpiring in reality. My friends and I are all 30+ professional women, own our homes, work, etc etc and all single. It really doesn't seem to matter to the men we meet. A successful man doesn't necessarily need a woman with all of that. He'll go for the hottest woman possible that's smart enough to manipulate him into locking it down by using her sex appeal/appearance and/or nagging him to death for a ring.

Then maybe it is good that you and your friends are single if you are meeting these types of men.

Find an androgynous man. Just don't get mad if your purses start getting worn out faster than you are used to.

Very clever thoughts, thank you for the heads up

It took me several minutes to walk through this OT mess started from Lups with what goal? To really find a man for your GF or whatever? 7 pages of almost crap and hence we're OT its no wonder, but Im every time extemely impressed, how fast such threads are going elsewhere but the main thing.
Im nordic&independent too, speak 2 out of 4 scandinavian languages fluent and be 6'3" tall. But Im not really feeling qualified...

If I had to do this again, I think I'd just buy a dildo. Or two. They are as much company as the men back here.

Dear god, he'd rather take any one of you guys than suffer an other bitch. I've asked.

Guys, help me out. Where do the good guys hide these days?
I'm not asking for much.

1. The guy has to be smart.

2. No fucking idiotic hippie shit (he's gonna be stuck with me too).

3. 6ft 2" minimum.

4. An appreciation for idiotic adventures required.

It's sad she can't find that guy in Finland.

Well, men are the same as are us women too everywhere, so I'm using you as my intelligence pool, she isn't moving away.

Not sure if serious...
Nice discussion anyways.
Good luck to friend.....finding a long term good relationship partner is akin to finding one piece of a 10000 piece puzzle of ocean waves.

Yeah, the guys here made sure I forget my target. I'll just buy her a cat as suggested above. Your analogy is apparently more than accurate.

And I'm never too serious, but it would be nice to see the kindest person I know happy.

My friend...Can you share a pic from your cute cousin ?

Does she like facial hair?

Men can definitely make some really stupid choices. Personally I grew up in Europe and I will only date women who are independent and work hard. Maybe it's because of my background, but that doesn't intimidate me at all. I'm successful, but that doesn't mean I have any interest in taking care of anyone, nor do I want to deal with BS and drama. I want a team mate and partner, not a dependent that sits on her ass all day and has nothing better to do with her time than to make up problems that don't exist. I see it soo much where I live, the idle rich housewives that do nothing but complain when they have nothing to complain about. Well maybe except their loveless marriages.

Meh, she doesn't even care how people look like or care about cars, purses, shoes or anything like that. That's making this extra hard (though I gave up already!).

But we are having a winter celebration weekend soon, and I'm trying to figure out where all the nice men hang out these days. Shitheads are easy to find.

This is so sad.

Honestly, I'm a huge waste of money. My interests keep taking and taking and though I only spend what I make, even I admit I could do more financially for my family, and not someone elses family.

The three letter handle guy above said it very well, he also wants a partner, not for his wallet but for a life.

Edit: K, four letter handle guy.
