Good points. It's not so much the income but the lifestyle as well and the type of personality. It's also that Alpha women tend to only like ultra-Alpha men, which I sadly am not. It's a pity because for the first time my profile started to get some replies after I cut out the gambling...

The one thing I've noticed is on dating sites is that I tend to attract what I would call Alpha Women. By this I mean hyper-educated women who earn large salaries and work 70 hours a week. Now, I'm no chauvinist and I don't want to meet someone who is stupid. However, I'm looking to meet...

50 years old, WTF??? I can just about imagine someone in their 30s but in their 50s? What next - 70year olds?

Thanks for the advice. I think it is definitely time to move on. Note: When I say that I am using the personals section of a newspaper I mean the online personals, not the hard copy version. I'll probably wait another week to repost my ad but I agree that I must write her off - although she...

As recounted on an earlier thread, I met up with a women who I met through the personals column in a paper and had drinks last week. We talked a lot, and I thinked clicked (she said that she 'liked me') and we agreed to meet up again. I sent her an email over the weekend inviting her to a...

Went on a date with a lady banker that I met on a dating site. We met up for drinks and hit it off, about halfway through she said: "I like everything; I like my job, I liked my college, I like this restaurant, I like you" - is this an indication of interest or a LJBF?

Given that you are an expert could you give us some advice about how to avoid scams?

I'm not naive - otherwise I wouldn't have posted here. Given that most people seem to agree that it is a scam I obviously won't be contacting her again. Anyway, I've had quite a few replies to my internet ad, some of whom seem to be genuine (and one works at a local bank). I just asked a...

I'm corresponding with a girl I met on a dating website, but I'm a little bit suspicious about whether she is genuine. She looks attractive, but not unrealistically so, and she claims to be living in Arizona and planning to move to my city soon but a few things have raised my suspicions: -...

No objections to that - the only thing that annoys me is when ugly girls start making unrealistic demands about salary. Apart from that I think it's good that women demand education and a career from a potential boyfriend, it means that egg-heads like me are in with a shout.

When using Craiglist should I: 1. Post a (non-sleazy) photo of myself 2. Say 'your picture gets mine'? If option 1 how do I make sure that the person is replying isn't a 300 pound male trucker replying under a pseudonym.

I'm going to London for a few days for a conference. Does anyone know of any good bars or pubs where more sophisticated women tend to hang out. Note - I'm talking about pubs/bars rather than nightclubs because I have no intention of spending $1,000 a bottle on champagne? Also, I'm also...

I noticed that before I booked and it should have been a huge red flag.

It was interesting that you mentioned Match.com. Now there are attractive women on Match.com, though I was only able to find about 15 of them for my city, and I use pretty strict filters (18-29, slim or athletic body, single & no kids, want kids in the future). I did a search on Match.com for...

I went to a speed dating event three nights ago. Before the event even started I knew that it was going to be a disaster since of the 17 women all but three weighed at least 160+ and most of them were also short. Of the three two were HB 6 and one was blatently in her late 30s (even though the...
