Even if not traditional, I still want to homeschool and move out of the big city, some jobs may not allow that. A firefighter making $120 may not do it for me because he may not want to move out, job is niche. But a nurse (job on demand) making $50 will work.

    good men don't go on dating apps. you won't find them on there. one because if they're good, they will be taken & two, women have FAR MORE options than men. your average woman has more options than the average male celebrity. so its actually pointless for men to be on dating apps. especially when men know that 80% of women are swiping right on the top 10% of men & swiping left on everybody else... while 90% of the guys are just swiping right on everybody hoping to get a single match. to put it in perspective, the average woman will get 50-100 matches in a week & may even be able to schedule a handful of dates off of those matches, while a man will be lucky to get one or two matches & those 2 that match will ignore him when he messages them, even after they matched... the women will just match for a confidence boost & then never message him. thats the difference between dating as a man & a woman. the smarter men know this & simply avoid dating apps altogether. its a waste of time for them.

    A guy I dated told me his story about a lady he met and fell in love with a woman over her picture and had spent 15-20hrs in conversation before meeting her. Two weeks later, he drove the 300 miles to meet her. He planned to marry her as soon as he saw her. When he got to her house, she was 100lbs heavier, claimed to be an attorney, forgot to mention she was a serious hoarder AND SHE turned out to be a HE! He’s from a small town and she lives in a major metropolitan city. He told her he forgot something in his car and drove back 300 miles! She blew up his phone for two or more hours with no response. He, of course, blocked her number and that was that.

    Loved this topic and your guest Alison who dropped exquisite game on how to manage dating apps and our profile. I am so glad you are asking her to come back again. Please ask Alison next time how to weed out the dangerous men who are lying to women. I am thinking of men who target women and lie in order to meet their own agenda such as pedophiles who target single moms to abuse their children, serial murderers, rapists, players, men with STDs, drug addicts, alcoholics, gamblers, married men or men who are in committed relationships, men who are hiding their true sexual orientation of being gay or bisexual (aka down low men) (my friend divorced her husband because he used her to hide the fact that he is actually gay and was having sex with various men), etc., etc., etc. Men lie so much about their age and height on dating apps. How can women address this issue with men to determine the truth? Men have no idea how much women fear being on dating apps due to authentic safety concerns. Alison said we need to keep our bios to 6 sentences, but she only helped us with the first sentence. What should the topics be for the other 5 sentences? If I think of more questions, I will add more posts.

    @@PrinceInawRakah I think their goal is to look their best, but most women are truly not intentionally trying to deceive men about their looks. Around the world, men are pressured to become rich and women are pressured to be beautiful. So the beauty industry uses this fact to prey upon women to enhance their looks. Beautiful women get whatever they want in life. All doors are opened up for them automatically. Unattractive women are immediately rejected and shunned by everyone, and they are extremely lonely. At least unattractive men who are wealthy can get married and avoid loneliness. Elon Musk is one example. Beauty for women and money for men is the doorway to human connections. Being unattractive for women and poverty plus being unattractive for men is the doorway to lifelong loneliness. At least attractive poor men can still get married. Only gold digger men would marry unattractive rich women, but they would probably cheat. Sorry, I do not understand more than what I wrote above. I have never worn make up, used hair extensions, etc.

    Online dating can be just as a dangerous playing field as conventional dating. Supermarkets and malls are a tad better. But, 'referrals' are best. Edit: In my most humble opinion, I believe working on oneself to become what/who it is you may be looking for or may be attracted to is essential; someone with self respect, has integrity, is courteous and considerate. Someone whom you should hope to become. Healing from previous relationships and loving yourself in ways that are noticeable WILL attract like-kind individuals...generally. Having expectations that are too high for a person on your perspective level of 'readiness' may cause one to miss out on an ideal mate.

    This is why we are having many relationships breaking down because we require perfection from the start. Our grand parents and parents met their partners when they were broke... but those relationships were till death. If this new person has never seen you sick or broke, you have no business talking about marriage. They have to be able to see your not so pretty side and still want to be with you. Otherwise the way you chew is reason enough to end the relationship.

    This means making sure young men AND women are ready to be married in their twenties. Because if one person is broke while the other is in the middle of their career, this can set up some toxic environments. Growing together isn’t a problem. But trying to grow someone, bc you’re so far ahead, is.

    The highest divorce rates are lesbian couples.. I believe they’re at a 76% divorce rate.. highest domestic violence rates as well, sisters.. Not bashing women, that’s note worthy.. Now check this out… the average time of a black marriage is 5 yrs.. our marriage rates have dropped 50% in the last 65 yrs.. over 70% of black children are raised by single mothers.. and they’re raising boys.. Y’all see the correlation? Brothers are being raised by women and they are raised with the mentality of the BW.. creating lesbian-like relationship dynamics.. The boys are emotional.. flighty and indecisive.. narcissistic.. impulsive.. obsessed with consumerism (cloths, bags, shoes, jewelry).. they hate male authority.. they hate correction.. etc.. So being that the BW has lived in this dynamic for the last couple decades.. they have no respect for their male counterparts.. making it IMPOSSIBLE for them to pair.. because they don’t respect men.. and if they do, for superficial reasons. On the flip side., when BW marry wm, according to the handful of those marriages, they stay together longer.. So the BW can override her disrespectful nature that she has around the BM.. and adjust to be with a wm.. why? Because her and the wm have the same nemesis.. the BM.. and their relationship is fueled by the desire to humble him.. and the BW doesn’t care as much about the wm’s money or looks.. they have a common mission and a common enemy.. Y’all may not have made it this far but the point is.. many BM don’t like BW as ppl (still attracted to them tho) because of their upbringing.. and BW don’t like BM.. because he’s just like her, psychologically.. Idk what mechanism outside of The LORDs instructions that can fix this mess.. so it looks like The LORD is who we must seek to bridge this gap. Y’all sisters say y’all Christians so this should be an easy concept to grasp ❤ #unsolicitedtruth

    Digital dating is especially hard for men bc dating apps have way more men on them than women, and women have to sift through tons of dudes using mostly photos as the rubric. I feel like a man like yourself may fare better with a matchmaker. It costs more upfront, but all of who you are will be taken into account when the matchmaker sets you up on a date. In any case, good luck to you.

I'm tired of giving them all my money. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I have over 300 likes sitting there and over 1000 views on Match but I can't see who they are.
