Mikedee, don’t take this post the wrong way but we are men and men don’t sugar coat. So I’ll tell you what I honestly think of your situation. In a way, you sound a bit like a male version of a past-the-wall woman complaining that there are no good men left. What I mean by that is that your expectations are somewhat detached from reality.
You may be above average in terms of physical appearance and look younger than your age but I’m guessing that the women you go after are also significantly above average. Those types of girls are not going to date a MUCH older man unless he has money and status. Why? Because they don’t have to. And by the sounds of it, you have neither money nor status. In fact, your money/status situation is significantly worse than average. Not many men your age go to college and live in a dorm.
Then there is the fact that you are a westerner living in Eastern Europe. Your situation confuses local women. They expect a westerner of your age to be well off (especially compared to them). They don’t expect a westerner in his mid-30’s to be a broke-ass college student. There is a fundamental incongruence between where they expect you to be and where you currently are. And this can be disorienting and off-putting.
You need to do whatever you can to get your act together before it’s too late. You are not going to be able to continue dating the caliber of women you are accustomed to unless your financial situation/status improve dramatically.
That's my situation, reality check. I'm not o
What that he needs more money? Will you send some to him so he can raise his SMV?
Bokanovsky is right, I don't think he said that to put me down, but to wake me up, reality check.
The good thing is, like you said I'm doing something to change to situation, I take my education seriously, not for women but for myself.
The bad thing is that I be pissed off for a while.
I accept my situation and I'm already in school enrolled in a program that might gave a great return in 3 years. That's a good start I think.
The funny thing is that a lot of 30something men would like to be in my shoes right now, I'm free as a bird, no children, very little debt, no responsibilities, look on point. But with women it could be better.
