I feel like most of the men who complain about these sorts of exaggerated and imaginary problems are the Elliot Rodger types. Women are supposed to flock to them and appreciate all their hidden greatness, guys that do have hot girlfriends don't deserve them and are inferior, the women who date guys who aren't them are sluts and skanks, etc.

You should have made a disclaimer that you're in the top 1% with no dependents. You also claim you're physically fit, which is much easier to do when you don't have to work and can afford personal trainers and or nice gyms. If you were making $10-20 an hour you'd have an entirely different perspective. Barely scraping by, no money for dates, having a gut because no time for working out, etc. That's 90%+ of men.

Your hatred for Mordinsolus is purely comical at this point.

I would have never dated a woman any longer once she called me out on my grammar. Im not a writer, nor do i care about my grammar that much. It doesn't make or break my life....besides grammar nazis are about as bad as the nosey neighbor who is always up your ass wanting to know all of your business....

Interesting point! I had never though of that

No, I'm just putting his response in context. He is coming from a very rare perspective. When you have enough money to never work (thus endless time to care about personal appearance, plus dates at high end restaurants) and can afford personal trainers, fancy gyms, and good nutrition, yeah, you're gonna maximize your chances. Dating in LA as a rich, physically fit guy with lots of leisure time is a totally different story.

And I'm not speaking out of jealousy because my lifestyle is closer to Mordinsolus than most.

But if you're the average Angeleno who can barely afford rent, has little time to work out, and relies on fast and or cheap food, it gets much much harder. And that's the vast majority of people.

You're not equipped to put anything I write in context. You know next to nothing about me or how I live my life. I work seven days a week starting a business and I don't live an exorbitant lifestyle.

OK, see this baffles me. Why would someone who is barely scraping by still choose to stay in the same situation? Ive never understood this. Like myself for example, I used to be a lowly auto technician who barely made enough to support my hobby-motocross. I got so sick of wanting things I could not afford, so I made a change. I took up welding, learned it through and through, and now make close to $40 an hour as a union welder with benefits, pension, vacation fund, you name it and life is good. I have plenty of money to support my family and still buy cool things. The only reason i could ever agree with for someone to continuously live in poverty in a massive city such as LA is if they are actively pursuing a career in acting, or modeling, or something of the like and are on the brink of success. Big cities like LA, san fran, diego, Seattle, Chicago, NY etc aren't friendly for those who barely get by. Places like that are the homes of famous designer clothes brands and big corporate business headquarters where you'll find peeps driving a ferrari or bently to work. You'd never catch me with my family of 5 trying to set up shop in place like that, thats just stupid. Case in point, new Microsoft building in Bellevue WA- you can find cars in the front parking lot that will run no less then $85k..... and, for the most part, the people who occupy the suburbs here near seattle also make a very handsome living. Some own businesses that you can find in local strip malls, lots of teriyaki joints, cleaning places etc....

God, you are so simple. Most people in poverty don't have the education, skill, tools, opportunity, time, or luck it takes to just work their way out of poverty. There are a multitude of socio-economic restrictions at play here and I doubt it would be worth my time to explain them. Hopefully your kids have better education opportunities than the ones afforded to you.

Im so simple? Hopefully my kids have better education opportunities then the ones afforded to me? Whats with the pretentious, condescending mindsets and attitudes I see so much of from many people in socal? Is it really that important to "1-up" everyone and prove just how much more superior your interpretation of reality is? Do judgements towards others in the LA area really happen based on one little detail of a person? Jesus Christ no wonder so many people are fleeing this place in record numbers.
