I want some positive vibes here. I'm basically a George Costanza. How does a quirky baldy short guy get a girl? I'm going to assume that Marrisa Tomei is taken.
I will say that my main social circle right now is in certain meetup groups. While there some very fine women in this group I'd rather not mix my exes with this friends group. Help me FOFC. Help me!

Have you tried doing the complete opposite of what you would normally do?

There's been a ton of feedback in these 19 pages that has mostly been ignored, so maybe a reread is in order.
The good news is that despite being a "quirky baldy short guy", you've still managed to date several women during this time, so I have no doubt that you'll have other opportunities. Make sure you listen to them when they're telling you what they need, and make sure they feel valued and special. |

When you started this thread, you didn't know much. After 900+ posts (and with FOFC help), it's evident you've been somewhat successful and have scored/home run.
So you know enough to do your own thing. Embrace rejection, plenty of other fish in the ocean. Just remember, plenty of 70+ year old millionaires/billionaires that would give up much of their fortunes to be where you are now (e.g. younger). Last edited by Edward64 : 06-18-2024 at 12:32 AM. |

Just pay for it. If god forbid I ever became single again that’s what I would do and I’m not a short balding guy. Dating sounds exhausting.

Is the inverse "prettywomangamy"?

I was thinking of the high status drawn to low status.

I wasn't talking about him specifically, just the phenomenon itself. If one way is a thing, surely the opposite has a name too.

Are you still selling Asian brides? Asking for a friend.

No need to buy/sell. Just buy me a beer if it works out. All you need is your US Passport, get on a local dating board, definitely say you want to have a family some day, and eventually travel (and probably, live) there. The clincher is, part of this "personal & business transaction (and it is both, don't forget that)" implies you are primarily willing to support her and her family (e.g. parents, siblings), and secondarily, willing to get married and sponsor her for citizenship. That means LeanFire is probably out for the foreseeable future. Go sign up for "Thai Friendly" or the other country variations. Put your mug out there, if there is mutual interest, plan a trip there. BTW if a super model responds, you know its a scam or another type of business relationship. If it's a normal woman, then see what happens. And remember ... never, ever, and I really mean never, send/give money until you are well into an in-person relationship.

I looked at this thread again. It contains so many references to histories that go back as much as 25 years.
In that sense, it's a bit sad. I think back to where I was back then and wonder where did it all go. Every day is a new opportunity. But every day we are far too prone to embrace pattern and familiarity. Quote:

In that sense, this item feels older than its 2 1/2 years. NH has received some great advice. From the wealth of experience accumulated during the course of this experiment. Hopefully he listens. From my perspective, NH, the next step is recognizing that in the two relationships you've had during this time, you have waited for the woman to break it off, though you were clearly unhappy. Progress will result when you seek a relationship not as a remedy for loneliness, but in anticipation of building an experience or partnership larger than the sum of its parts. |

So I went to a pickleball group today.
To be cute I wore a shirt with this design: ![]() No one got the reference. I guess it just isn't my crowd. But I now have the nickname "Pickle Rick"

Hypogamy. Though the meme is trying to change the meaning of the word - hypergamy is the act of marrying up; hypogamy is the act of marrying down. Attraction has nothing to do with it - it’s simply a criterion for a marriage partner (and a quite old one, as it involves the economic considerations of marriage). I’ve noticed in my idle swiping on Bumble to exercise my fingers that I’ve changed from someone willing to consider hypogamy to one who is no longer interested in that. Too many problems and worldview conflicts likely to occur. Hypergamy is still a strategy I’d consider, but only if the circumstances were right.

Sure. IMO the top priority for vast majority of women looking for a foreign partner is financial security for her (and her immediate family). But there are alot of unwed mothers in this category, so that means you'll be eliminating a good % from the pool. Since you obviously aren't Tom Cruise, I'd suggest you stay open to it if/when it comes up and don't eliminate it completely. |
