Mockingbird,

You know that is nonsense. I was in college and broke. Yes, I always conducted myself in a genteel manner and dressed uptightly, thanks to a British boarding school education (which is pretty much free so I don't want to hear sh1t).

I am autistic. I have Aspergers. That means I'm supposed to have poor social skills.

I still had plenty of dates. Not mainly from Asians. In fact, mostly not Asians.

AQ91,

You come to NYC. I'll let you dress in a suit and drive a Luxury car. I'll take the subway and wear old navy jeans. We'll walk into a public library. I'll prove to you I'll come out with a date with a real pretty girl. Heck, if I were not married, I'll show you a one night stand as well.

Mockingbird, you seem to have a real chip on your shoulder with the private sector. I know your family is with the federal government in the service, and I admire that. That is the life YOU chose. I stress YOU chose. And you live in one of the top five richest neighborhoods in America, so don't look down on the private sector.

---

My family was heavily into private sector construction as well, before my uncle managed to mess that up.
Please don't assume facts about my life and history.

My assertion that money makes things easier for men is not a reflection of a chip, it's a reflection of experience.

You're a good man, but you're deluding yourself if you think otherwise.

Re: my living a wealthy neighborhood: We are comfortable, but not wealthy. When my great-grandfather bought this land and when my grandfather built this house, Clifton was still known for bootleggers and outhouses. The taxes and inurance on our house may be more than mortgages in many parts of the country, but it is a pittance for the area.
There are "locals" in the Thousand Islands region as well living amongst unimaginable wealth but not of it, ya dig?

(Note: I say this having missed a good deal of exchange and so may be behind the eight ball.)

But he also cracks me up when he points out that he had no trouble getting good dates when he was a broke younger guy...going to a very good school, (if I remember correctly - I may not be) driving a very nice car, and attending the symphony.
How much are tickets to the symphony?
$65 on the low end, upwards of $250 on the high?
Just /being/ there declares something about your socioeconomic status.
Not be crass, ag, but how many hours of labor would that represent for you?
Not exactly something you could engage in on a regular basis, especially of your truck decides to break down*

* You could probably swing a rehearsal performance and meet some cute college or artsy girls your age, but (not meant to offend) they probably won't hold your social and political views.

Editing to add: And I've seen the gold digger door swing both ways - I've had well-to-do male friends who genuinely loved their spouses who were then left completely flat-footed when their wives left them when their fortunes turned south.
The market giveth and the market taketh away.

At least, ag, when you do find the right girl, you'll know that she loves you for you and not your bank account.

I almost responded to your "point", but then I remembered that engaging you is beyond worthless.

And I'm not saying that most women are like this - but enough are to make a difference in the dating game.

This particular facet of human/female behavior seems to be a blind spot with him.
