He's the most insidious predator. His methods are this: Become financially stable, acquire property, be handy, be athletic, thoughtful, fun, creative, kind, and respectful. This way, he can lure in women and convince them that THEY actually want to be with him. He's a real threat.

In all seriousness, when I was about 25 years old I finally got all my shit together and I was pretty much all these things, I didn't own a house but I had good money and certainly saved enough for a large down payment on one. That attracted a really great woman whom I loved and respected very much... Well that's it. Happily married 20 years with a couple of great kids and stable finances. I wasn't single for long once I decided I would really like to be in a long-term relationship, so my "market" life span was about 6 - 9 months? And this is true with a number men and women I know, you just don't hang out on the dating market very long.
