Not employed, still living with my parents, not sure what I want to do with my life.
Hardly an attractive option for a woman who would want financial stability, independence, career set.
I was talking to my niece today about me not sure I still want to continue studying after I finish my bachelor's degree this year.
Whether I want to take a gamble and pursue art full time or continue with psychology.
And I am 35 soon. Lost soul much?

YesDid I say she has a huge number of friends, why would she want to go out with a guy with like 3 friends?Adelaide 17/11/2009, Melbourne 20/11/2009, Sydney 22/11/2009, Melbourne (Big Day Out Festival) 24/01/20140

YesPlus, why would she want a guy 8 years her junior? Women are attracted to older guys. It's a proven fact and another thing I've learned in my university studies.Adelaide 17/11/2009, Melbourne 20/11/2009, Sydney 22/11/2009, Melbourne (Big Day Out Festival) 24/01/20140

YesThoughts_Arrive said:Plus, why would she want a guy 8 years her junior? Women are attracted to older guys. It's a proven fact and another thing I've learned in my university studies.You know that not all women think the same, right?Anyway, clearly you plan on sabotaging yourself for the rest of your life. I doubt it's useful for anyone to try and help you get out of the hole you keep digging yourself into. You're making the very conscious decision to be alone for the rest of your life, and nobody here is going to be able to talk you out of it or convince you how very very wrong you are about things, because you're also making the conscious decision to ignore every single bit of good advice you are given. You either have to talk yourself out of your misconceptions, or stay single forever. Good luck.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0

It's a proven fact and another thing I've learned in my university studies.And yet, there are SO many women who have much younger long term partners. How odd!Seriously, saying that all women are only attracted to older guys is about the dumbest generalization I've ever heard, as well as one of the easiest to disprove. Whoever managed to convince you that that is a concrete fact should be fired.

Seriously, though, your psychology program is shit. What year is your textbook from? You should get your money back from whatever bullshit university is teaching you this garbage. None of what you say that you learned in class has any basis in fact. It's anecdotal evidence from likely biased research. For every woman looking for a man to take care of her, there's a woman looking for a man to take care of -- and one looking for a woman to take care of her and one looking for a woman to take care of and one who just wants to take care of herself. I bet there's another set of likely biased research out there saying that most women just want to take care of a cat. That would also be bullshit. Even Dr. Freud's research was heavily influenced by his rampant sexism. Basically, everything he had to say regarding his observations of women, while it certainly makes for interesting reading, is at least 90% false. That's why some of those case studies read like fiction/porn. And besides, you should rarely believe anything you learn in the artificial microcosm of a university classroom. Nearly putting an entire gender into a single behavioral mindset should always raise some red flags.
I will never in a million years make as much money as my wife. She wants to further her career. I don't even like to think of that word. It's gross to me. Career? Fuck that. I have a job, and I'll leave it at that. Every promotion I've been offered, I've turned down. While it would be nice, I don't need the extra money, and I certainly don't need the extra administrative shit that would come with a promotion. I'd rather just do my actual work than pretend to worry about the performance of a company I will never give two shits about.
I didn't live with my parents when I met my wife. That probably would've been a much nicer place to bring her. No, I was sleeping on a mattress on the floor in a tiny apartment with at least four (but usually more) other dudes -- one of whom had photos of his sexual conquests pasted all over his bedroom door, which was right next to our front door. None of this mattered to her because we were simply attracted to each other. We shared similar interests, and we liked to fuck. All of which still holds true.
And my wife is not a special case. My living situation was never great. A mattress on a floor was actually kind of a luxury. Some blankets piled in the only corner where my earlier roommates didn't spill their bongwater was where I slept for a couple of years as well. I had no car, no money, etc., but women still managed to somehow find me attractive and want to hang out with me -- and I'm going to go out on a limb here having had access to a mirror for most of my adult life and say that the attraction wasn't initially physical (anyone here who has met me can back this up); it was likely based on common interests, sense of humor, attitude, demeanor, etc.
I know it's been mentioned before by another poster, but the talking points that you've brought up here regarding women (namely, how shallow they are in their desires for a mate) are basically the seeds of the whole repugnant incel movement. The fact that they are planting these seeds in a university classroom is disgusting to me, and I think your university's psychology program should be discredited for spreading such obvious falsehoods as fact. I know that your toilets flush backward (to us) down under; hopefully, this class is an outlier and not indicative of backward education as well.

YesA good personality and little confidence goes a looooooonnnnnnnnnng way with a lot of women.And yes T_A... your attitude about women is 100% offensive, and what makes more people than just me worry that you're well on your way to being a fucking incel. Perhaps that is what's driving women away from you??With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0

YesHis mother has shaped his view on women in my opinion. I think the whole situation is very child like. I think T.A wants love. Needs love and with a mother like his he has not been nurtured. My opinion is he craves this but feels not worth anything to women.
Sorry if it sounds like some weird shit
It's just how I observe it.

The older men thing is a load of crap. If women were ONLY attracted to older men, I would be killing it with all the 21-25 year olds I hit on. But guess what, they don’t want to date their dad.Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 250
