I quit Yahoo several months ago. But in an effort to keep their hands in my wallet Yahoo continues to send me potential matches several times a week. I got some tonight. The email had 23 potential matches in it. Of course I looked at them.

Based on appearance alone, I'd email eight of them maybe. But I looked at all their profiles and wrote down some numbers just for the hell of it.

Money: Out of 23 ladies, only three disclosed their own income but six included the incomes of the man they're looking for.

The average income of the ladies was $28.3k
While the average income of their target man was $95.4k!!!
My own $89k puts me at a disadvantage at winning the love of a woman who earns $28k...my income is less than she desires.

Age: Their average age was 37.6 years.
Their targets average age: 34.8 years.

This kinda strikes a nerve. People at work heve pressured me to date a woman ten years older than me. Somehow they think it's great for her to want someone younger but stupid for me to want someone younger too. They get mad when I ask why I should date someone I'm not attracted to.

So discouraging to Leon....He's just too old and too poor for central Oklahoma women to be attracted to. Should I focus on the 45 year old women with $20k incomes? Nope, I'll wait.

Could some of you married folks in the Singles Lounge who believe it's so easy to find someone explain how to overcome this?....Women who want a younger man who earns three times as much as they do? If I desired a 37 year old woman, I'd be seven years too old....than her desired.
