If you want to step into the CURRENT Western dating/culture, you will have to make concessions somewhere and you will probably have to teach
And that's it. Concessions. looking for 70-80% of what you want as far as preferences instead of 100%.
Whether it's
Weight
Kids
Masculine traits
Excessive Tattoos
Doesn't cook much or at all
Not always running the streets
Those things can all be controlled. Discipline is something lacking today. No one has discipline. No one plays the long game, everyone thinks they deserve everything yesterday.
You'd be lucky to find HALF of the 6 things I listed. Education is the biggest thing BW harp on, the area where they have the most discipline. All I need in that area is a HS education. If you tried college, or you got a BS....that's nice. Most women end up going further because the BS doesn't produce a good paying job or a job at all.
Where as if you focused dually on a man AND education, you could put your 35-40k with his 50-80k and live a decent/good life. These women today want the lifestyle afforded by 300-500k income.
