Why is it so hard for a 25 year old successful woman to find a decent man?

Question

I have found that several women who have great personalities and are successful so far in their life cannot find a man who is worth more than five minutes. A decent man would be someone who is smart, fun, driven, and an overall good guy. The qualities of a decent man do not include whistling at women as if they are dogs, playing games, cheating, lying, or only looking for sex. And by the way, to all those men who said for a woman to be to successful is a turn off, you obviously don't have the guts to be a woman who is better than you.

Answer 1

I think u forgot with, to be with?* Yes, but it's somewhat true, they are still thinking 1950's or what not, be the breadwinner. Heaven forbid if a woman can finally work, it's been over 50 years get over it! Idiots, so unfair. I mean really, heaven forbid a woman as nice career for herself. Men mature slower, even 25 y/o guys NOT men are immature, usually marry for the sex, I'd suppose(most anyways, the jerks) I agree w MFSD, he's a jackass though. I don't think it's too high, nomarriage.com has a list, a woman's list, most are put into a few categories easily, sure it's a long list, a lot is the same though, romantic, thoughtful, carring etc. Guys only have time to think about 1 thing, it's how their brain is, so yeah they think it's too high. Now sometimes maybe it is, if u get in a lot of looks, like tall or even more specific 6'0 and all that, then yeah and some do. But for most, no. I agree, somewhat on a decent man, very true. They just are hard to find, their nature to be idiots. U got the right idea on what a decent man is.

Answer 2

Because as a 25 year old man I can tell you that we are all pretty much screw-ups. Get over it. I am looking for a girl that is going to babysit me for the next 10 years until I finally realize that I need to grow up and take responsibility for my life...by that time your looks will have gone and I will start cheating on you with a 25 year old successful woman. We would get divorced and you would take the SUV and the house, I would have to pay you alimony for the rest of my life and the kids will hate me because I developed a drinking problem.

Answer 3

a match is hard to find regardless.

When asking people what they look for in a mate, the list is quite long and the amount of people that can live up to those expectations are very few.

I would go slow. Start with a date or friendship or coffee and move up from there.

You have no idea who a decent man is until you get to know him and people rarely spend that much quality time with each other.

Do it like the rest of the world, go by just good looks.

Answer 4

Usually I would say that she's more focused on her career and less so on pursuing a relationship. Also from what I understand most "successful" women (and I'm assuming business or career) have very strong and agressive personalities which can intimidate guys She also may be setting incredibly high standards for an ideal guy..

Answer 5

Because your concept of a decent man is based on romance novels that have nothing whatsoever to do with reality.

Specifically, a wealthy, important, physically impressive man who will devote himself to you totally for no reason whatsover and will ask absolutely nothing in return.

You may, possibly, find such a man, but he will probably tire of the arrangement, for obvious reasons.

More likely, you will settle for a more mediocre and less devoted man, and will convince yourself that you are doing him a favor by sticking with him. This is generally the attitude of women in relationships these days.

Answer 6

well most of the time it isn't the factor of there being a lack of good men rather where you are looking and how hard. Most women have a bad habit of wanting what they can't have which means the guys that are @ss holes usually get the girl while the nice guy gets passed up. So maybe if you change your view you'll find a good guy.

Answer 7

It is also hard for a succesful man to find a decent woman. Maybe you are looking in the wrong places. I know that was part of my problem.

Answer 8

i will tell you a secret--most guys dont care about your job or career,for the most part we can handle are own but i can tell you that you need to stop looking so hard and he will find you..maybe you have too high of standards as to what is a decent guy..

Answer 9

Answer 10
