yeah, clearly a random stranger on the internet knows more about my own life and my own life experiences than I do.
The wait and service staff live 2 hours away. My dog walker has a 1.5 hr commute from the rural part of the state. It's the same story in any major USA coastal city. The central neighborhoods all have median incomes in the 150K+ range for single people, and couple shave incomes well over 250K. Homes cost well over a million dollars, and the average rent for a 1bed apartment is 3200/mo. Only rich people can afford to live 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.
You sound absolutely delusional, so, yeah maybe.
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.
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.
Yikes where hell state you live in where 150k a year is considered poor? You have a dog walker. No offense but you sound richy to me.
