I do know that if girls like guys for their money, then those girls are not worth having in the first place. It's true that u can buy much pleasures with ur $$$$, but u will never get what u really want in life.

I did not mean that I thought the match-maker post was dirty, I just think you're a funny guy, is all. Actually, I think that having an arranged marriage is probably a good thing.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for your comments! I really did not know that my descriptions were that horrible. You guys certainly helped me out on many things which I need to change--well, except for the plastic surgery which someone recommended. I don't want to deplete the plastic supply. ;)

Once again, thank you all, and I am no longer curious!

To A former nerd:

You still sound like a nerd. Women don't merely look at physical appearance and wallet size when looking for a relationship.

You attitude of " A woman's commodity is definitely her looks..." is definitely a turnoff. Women like to be appreciated for their minds and personality...something that is no doubt reciprocated in rational men.

So please, don't blame your past rejections on the women and their infatuation with money. I'm sure some women fit that mold, but definitely not all. You, however, fit the "wannabe player" mold that thinks a greater wallet will substitute for a lack of personality.

chicky poo,

I look like just another normal asian guy.

As for arranged marriage in Asia. I don't know anyone who's been arranged, except this Iranian girl I went to HS with and was betrothed at the age of 4.

But I do know that in East Asia (China, Japan, Korea, HK, Taiwan), arranged marriage still occur. The matchmakers are like corporations or a dating service. Some have very high reputations in asia of being able to see compatability almost instantly among couples.

It was not meant to be dirty but some helpful advise to George, since I felt he might want some information on other avenues of meeting people.

Basically, women and men have different peaks in their attracting members of the opposite sex. A woman's commodity is definitely her looks, and this declines with age. So, any woman reaching age 40 is no longer at that peak. For a man, the takeoff age is usually in his early to late 30s. That is the time when his career and age enables him to be more wealthier than other men younger than him. That is why you sometimes see young beautiful women with much older but richer men. We have different tradeoffs.

I had once been one of those boys who had been rejected and not given the time of the day during my high school and college years. Now I make more money and those same girls who rejected me in the past would probably think twice before rejecting me now. But, I am not interested in them. Their time has come and gone. They are too old for my interests now.

I just want to remind all the young men out there who are probably in my same dilemma to "just relax and know that someday your time will come." Just study hard and earn your professional career first. You are never too old to be a player. With the $$$, you will get some. You get the last laugh. Try getting it with older ladies for now. They are more open minded and enjoying of sexual company.

For the young and hot ladies: "if you roll your eyes over the guy you think is a geek, perhaps that same geek may someday be the future Bill Gates." The boys you reject has yet to blossom. And, don't think you could get back to them 10 or 20 years from now. By that time, your worth (beauty, fertility and age) has diminished and skidded on the graph. Those boys you once rejected would want to look for girls younger and more beautiful than you.
