They got a lot worse over the years, and they’re exist to extract money, not to provide a service to its users.

    yeah, clearly a random stranger on the internet knows more about my own life and my own life experiences than I do.

    You sound absolutely delusional, so, yeah maybe.

    It’s the same story in any major USA coastal city.

    I don’t know what city you’re in, but the median income in NYC is like $85k and there is a wide range of people here.

    I make 150K a year, own a modest condo, and I am considered ‘poor’ because the expected income for a desirable man is 300-500K a year.

    Don’t try to date the kind of person who expects $400k/year? In all my years of dating I don’t think I’ve ever met someone with that expectation, and that’s probably for the best.

      You sound like some yokel that has never lived in a major city and has no clue what they are talking about. Cities are not homogeneous, your neighborhood is what defines where you live. You can walk two blocks and be in a area that’s poor and impoverished, or two blocks the other way and houses are all 50 million bucks. I live where the houses are 3 million.

      there are no other kinds of people to date where I live. I am not going to drive 3-4 hours roundtrip so I can date people like my dog walker, who is too young and too dumb for me to date anyway. so i just date nobody, and i get hit on every now and then and she throws a shitfit because I don’t vacation in Bali yearly.
