Over the last 2.5 years I have been on dates with over 100 different women. Some weeks I had a new woman every day. Some months I'd spend $2000 just on dating alone. Within that period of time I had about 3 relationships that lasted 2-3 months. I met all these women either through online dating or going out to the bar.
It is absolutely brutal out there. Most women are crass, over-confident, combative/competitive, egotistic, masculine and greedy. Not a single woman has been worth my time. Everything you say is accurate. Most of these women overvalue themselves and act as if you are worth nothing to them. Even the 200 pound fat girl feel entitled to you. Women see relationships as purely transactional. You are nothing more than an accessory to their lifestyle. I don't think the majority of women understand love at all or desire it.
I'm just going to second that other guy regarding Russians. Stay the fuck away from Russians. They look and sound good on paper but they're the most selfish and uncompromising out there.
I've really been at a loss lately on this subject lately which is why I'm on here. It's the one thing in my life I wish I could complete. My latest probably bad idea is I'm going hiking with a group of Mormon on Sunday.
Sadly, I think romantic relationships are pretty much over. You can find business partnerships out there that you can engage in if you're willing to settle for a woman your heart will never truly desire who will never truly excite you but if you seek love, passion and intimacy, you're pretty much out of luck. Almost every country worth living in has been compromised and if you bring any woman back to a civilization that has promoted sexual liberation and cultural marxism (almost all developed countries), she'll eventually turn on you as she becomes greedy like everyone else.
You have to find women who have a solid grounding in an impersonal morality. I think silos of extremely religious women or women from small towns in countries where they don't speak English might be the only places left.
I have the same experience. I am now in my forties and have had hundreds of first dates and a handful of semi-long term relationships, but none of them have worked out because of my unwillingness to compromise on issues that have cropped up, and now what I'm finding is my main source of women - dating apps, once a bountiful exploit - is now a bush that has been pruned within an inch of its life and is becoming a significant time expenditure without any real, tangible results.
The one thing I can say about the apps, is that it brought into my life a wonderful friend who I dated for a while but remain close with, and we see each other pretty much every day and have a wonderful, close relationship.
But saying that, dating provides a real insight into female psychology, and being exposed to this over the years can turn you very cynical.
About Russian / Ukrainian women. The last girl I was legitimately excited about was a beautiful girl from Russia who entered my life just at the right time, and ticked so many boxes for me. Alas, within 3 short months the cracks began to appear and I quickly realised I was dealing with an abusive, selfish, and downright unpleasant individual. This soured me and left me angry for probably a year, maybe more.
Russians and Ukranians, in my experience, are very cynical operators. All that glitters ain't gold.
The implosion of this all too brief relationship made me think about all of the red flags I've witness in many - not all, but many - of my exes who were primarily from the UK. Believe me when I say it can be a rare thing to find a girl who adds to your life in a positive way. I'm talking about someone who is kind and allows you a certain amount of freedom, who doesn't react like a 12 year old when things don't go her way, who treats you with the common decency you treat her.
It's rare, gentlemen.
So where am I at, right now? I'm still getting dates, but only with women who have an impacted SMV. When I travel outside of the UK things are marginally better. But the older you get the narrower and narrower your opportunities become, and if you're going to try apps or meetup.com to try and meet someone, you're going to be yielding miserable results, because anytime a women has to be proactive in her pursuit of a partner by actually joining some kind of group or site, that's your first red flag.
Women in most western countries tend to walk around now with an inflated sense of self-esteem. It's remarkable how many of them I spot on my daily walk, gathered in groups and gossiping in the loudest, most grating voices. That is, of course, when they don't have their nose buried in their phone. These are trying times, gents, and it's not going to get any better.
