The thing is: I really take pleasure in materialistic stuff and I'd never want to sacrifice them for somebody that feels like settling to me: nice car, clothes (I spend over 1k per month on it, sometimes much more than that), nice apartment, exclusive watches, nice city trips, 8+ escorts etc.. Some would say I'm compensating, I may be and I'm certainly coping, but it does give me pleasure and I hope it lasts. Some say I should promote those things more (except for the hookers obviously), others say women may be put off (by things such as impeccable dressing, emphasis on expressing myself eloqently in my language), but I disagree: enough women like me as company, and many would consider me as a romantic option, if they liked my looks.
Also bear in mind: in Switzerland very few people (the single moms mentioned) struggle financially, in fact most do pretty well (particularly in Zurich), including women. So except for maybe some single mothers, they are free to place utmost importance on looks with guys. Add to that the general hypergaming culture, how women's self-perception is infuenced by the lack of balance especially in online dating, men's relative generosity/randomness, you can see where I stand. It's very interesting that even with German women (who you'd expect to be the same or at least very similar) my chances have proven to be better. Some of them who've shown an interest didn't happen to be my type, but at least with them I was able to see how others could find them attractive.
I've noticed that I'm not as body-oriented as other men. If a girl has a really pretty face and maybe more robust thighs than some men can accept, then I'm still potentially interested. However, a super fit body alone does nothing for me.
