Okay, what if I told you I know a guy who is absolutely obsessed with K-State?  He has a huge trust fund waiting to be tapped into.  He loves picking up girls (literally) and never dates any fatties (and you can't prove he ever did).

Still interested?

What if I told you he used to play some pretty big time AAU basketball?  You'd be pretty damn excited right?

What if I then told you this interstate traveler liked to pound some suds then drive all over the over the place.  To top it all off, he is kind of a bad boy.




Sounds perfect, right?

And what if we told you he would defend your honor from anonymous internet strangers by posting headless pictures of you with him to prove that you're not fat.

EMAWgeddon, you must first love yourself before you can be loved.
I was going to post in here the other day and reading back over the rest of the thread and seeing this above, I'm a little disappointed this didn't get anyone's attention.  It's a valid point, and I'll admit I know nothing about you- but there is a pretty healthy chance that the guys you've been dating just don't see a future with you because you just don't seem like you're ready for a relationship.  If you're dating mostly educated men - chances are they're not looking for one night flings and looking for someone they're attracted to intellectually just as much as physically.  If you aren't comfortable with your own identity then how the hell are they supposed to even know who their getting into a relationship with?  Of course I could be way off base - based off of my initial preface - but I'm curious to know; how often are you NOT dating someone? Have you spent much time becoming comfortable being alone?

We've already got a 5 year plan. It was CNS's idea. In 5 years if we're both still single and lonely, we're getting married. Should end well i would think.

So, I read the whole thread.  

1. While what Stunz said is actually pretty true don't change who you are to attract more guys.  That is dumb and you will be miserable.  
2. Prob should date more dudes who are not attorneys (not that attorneys are bad dudes or anything).  
3. Do you want to have kids in the future?

I say and ask these things because you are actually pretty awesome long-term material if, and only if you are willing to not make your job your 95% of your life.  Though I know it may be hard to do that now, but you will have to slow down in the future.  I say your are awesome long-term material for a few reasons,

a. you're smart and independent and can take care of yourself (though this won't win you any macho ultra-provider types it will do you wonders with rational dudes)
b. you're good enough looking (I think I've met you), but you don't look to sexy, or slutty. It is a look that will prob age well
c. you do know sports and are actually cool and not bimboish. this is super important for longterm stuff.

The reason I ask about kids and mention working so much is that if you were to eventually marry a guy I doubt you would want to give up your career forever but making the money you do, regardless of whether or not your dude makes a ton (don't date complete losers) is a real positive.  You can take time off when a kid is young and ave money saved over, while your dude still works.  etc.  Then when the kid/ kids start school you can go back to work or whatever, or you can go back earlier.  I'm just saying it makes for a lot of flexibility.  

I mentioned dating outside attorneys because there are a lot of good jobs that good dudes have that might not make a TON of money but would work well with you.  Teachers, firefighters, these types of jobs attract guys who make okay money, but also attract quality people.  Another positive about this is these guys ave the time to be good husbands/ dads, etc. because they have a lot of time off.  

P.S. I think I met you at the WVU pak but I could be mistaken.  If I didn't disregard the being cool and looks stuff.

Edit:  Another reason I mentioned firefighter, teacher types is because these kinds of dudes know that their careers aren't huge moneymakers but get into them anyway.  So while they probably won't resent you for making good money, they probably won't be the pussy clinger-on types that Stunz was talking about.  It is a good balance.

I did leave the cigs.  I had quit smoking, but knew I would want to smoke that night while pak'd so I bought some to prevent bumming.  Left them on purpose so I wouldn't smoke the next day.

do you know what firefighters make in california?  it's pretty crazy.  i don't know about them being quality people though.  that seems pretty effusive for people that are little more than glorified cops.

Teachers get paid pretty well in California too.

Firefighters usually end up with some pretty severe emotional issues.  Depression, numbness to emotion, and usually withdrawn.  A long firefighting career usually exposes them tons of grotesque wrecks/burn victims/etc.  Usually not good marriage material. Jmo.

Well, my mom saw fireproof and sent me several VERY enthusiastic texts about it for the next month. And I think that whatever fireproof is involves firemen, mike Seaver, and stable marriages.

don't change who you are to attract more guys.  That is dumb and you will be miserable.  

Its not about changing who you are, its about being your best self.  Changing the way you communicate, the way you act, etc; isn't really changing yourself.  What is one's "self" anyways?  Most of it is going to be a product of your surroundings, its the other 20% you don't want to change.  While the advice I have given isn't necessary for long term relationships, it really is the best way to have a long term relationship + happiness.

Side note, letting a guy be dominant doesn't mean supplicating to his every wish, showering him with compliments, being a slave. 


a. you're smart and independent and can take care of yourself (though this won't win you any macho ultra-provider types it will do you wonders with rational dudes)

Rational = Boring.  Does she want a friend or a lover?
