All these narcissistic cunts perfectly happy to insult their partners.
'I could date hotter chicks but I settled for you!'
'I used to date male models but now I'm happy with my Mister nobody.'
'I could date hotter chicks but I settled for you!'
'I used to date male models but now I'm happy with my Mister nobody.'
I just realized that recently. I think by way of gaf and some other news sources I got linked to their articles and thought, the fuck is this garbage tabloid shit?

If she's 5'2" then dude is 5'7" tops. LMAO @ "I could have [anyone] I wanted."

I can somewhat speak to this being a New Yorker and in my mid 30s with a pretty good job.
A lot of what he said is true.
It obviously doesn't apply to attractive women everywhere, but in big cities, and in especially in NY, it's not so far fetched.
There are so many incredibly attractive women here, but so many of them are just terrible.
It's a product of being a city with this many people, being very attractive and the competition that exists here.
I know plenty of finance guys and I've seen the girls they dated in their 20s. Almost all universally super hot, but I can't think of many that ended up with those types of girls in their 30s and 40s.
Looks fade and if there is nothing of substance, it just falls apart as soon as those girls start getting to their 30s.
And no, if that is a picture of his current fiance, on the scale of hotness in NY, she doesn't even register.
The problem with the internet is that everyone gets a voice. There are people in this thread that have no fucking frame of reference and are making fun of what the dude looks like or whatever other personal attacks they can throw because he said hot women are bad.
Guess what? You don't live in that world.
The guy is successful at his job. Clearly he's made a lot of money. What do a lot of these super attractive models bring to the table other than their looks?
I know more than a few guys in finance that look a million times worse than this perfectly normal decent looking dude. They are with women that aren't even in the same universe as them in terms of looks. However, the guys are very successful and that is how the world works.
When you live in Manhattan and earn 300k plus, yes you can. Wouldn't matter if he was 4 feet tall.

Settle down, champ. I worked biglaw in a major market and know a thing or two about these types of bros.
Uh why not? Money is almost everything.

I know more than my share.
I have never, and I repeat never, seen one of these bros with anything other than an extremely attractive girl. Especially when they are in their late 20s.
Yes, you could argue that these types of dudes go for those super hot girls, but they always get them.

IMO he's better looking than her. And she looks way older than 23.
I'm guessing she was told she was stunning so guys could sleep with her and then ghost...
Can she and the bland PE guy holding a beer get together? They deserve one another.
It's basically just an anecdotal story. Not all women who meet society's view of beauty/hotness are rash and vapid.
In my anecdotal experience though the rash part has been true, but it's not exactly a scientific study with a huge sample size.
And honestly I think that has more to do with age than anything else.
Like really you're surprised dating a 20somehing year old doesn't work out long term as a 30-40 year old man? People in their 20s tend to be pretty spontaneous regardless of sexual orientation.
I can say as a 28 year old white male dating women in their twenties things generally don't last all that long and things end on mutual terms. I'm dating a 31 year old now and it's my second longest relationship. The longest one was when I was in my early 20s and my gf was late 20s.

What? Can men not be into shortys? And 5'2" isn't really even much shorter than average.
I guess I hadn't thought of height mattering all that much for women, although it does seem to for men.

Yikes. What a douchey guy

My fantasy is that my girlfriend was actually a young high school girl.
From observation and personal introspection, it's interesting to me how women require career / financial security, drive and motivation from their partners, while us men care only about how hot their woman looks.
In my opinion

Stop dating shallow men? And both genders want their partner to be attractive, in their eyes. This idea that it's only men is ridiculous

We didn't even have to go through all the trouble of actually dating them like he did. We just figured it out before even dating one of them. Aren't we smart.

To be fair, most people who read the Post are likely middle aged white guys (and older).
The guy in the article probably reads the Post.

really stretching to say he has a full head of hair. guys hairline is walking the runway to the back of his head.
The tone of the article is quite douchey, but as you say, there's some truth to it. I consulted at a modelling agency in Toronto, and was exposed plenty of rich and attractive people, men and women, completely self absorbed in their own universes.
It's a completely different world than the suburbs and small urban centres. For some of these guys, because they're immersed in opportunity, the high school alpha mentality of "I have to date all the hottest girls in school" doesn't go away until well into adulthood, when they're starting to approach middle age and have never settled down.
Nah, I think it's just laws of averages. If you're attractive, you simply have less incentives to develop a nice personality because on average people are more likely to defer to you, give you advantages or positions you didn't deserve, et al. It's not a certainty (and even if I find the stereotypes broadly correct there's something really distasteful about going around applying those stereotypes to individuals), but there's an element of truth to it beyond just something "ugly people say because they're jealous" (which, hey, people definitely do too, but they've done enough studies on beauty bias that it's clear they aren't just pissing in the wind. You can be bitter and right at the same time.)
I think it's also become more warped (in perception and reality) because of internet dating, but it also depends a lot of what your dating pool is likethese kinds of guys couldn't exist outside big cities like NY (or at least, they can't be very successful at it.)

Gags focusing on the guys attitude, but the whole article is trying to appeal to women that are not that attractive and massaging thier delusions that personality beats all. It's not about him, but he's a massive douche.

I was not commenting on her appearance - I was making a joke about his height since the article quotes him specifically referring to her height in a negative way, yet judging by the picture of the two of them together he isn't that much taller than her. I found this ironic given the fact that he clearly thinks he is a flawless specimen.
Apologies if this came off dickish. Given the various other insulting comments about this doofus ITT, I didn't think this would be overly controversial.

Body is fine but her face looks like a younger version of Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Anyway.. Who cares. I can only hope she is funny, kind and smart.

Plus the guy fits the typical mold of what is seen in these types of markets.
He's a normal looking dude despite that bad picture.
Not overweight, has hair, 13k Rolex on his wrist, and making a substantial salary.
Of course he's going to be going after models in a place like Manhattan. It's because someone in his position can easily get them.
It's a perfectly valid perspective based on the normal dating scene for people living that lifestyle.

I don't see how he's wrong in the statement that a 5'7" dude in the US generally will not have the pick of the litter when it comes to women to date. That paycheck though...that makes up for the height for sure.

His fiancee is fine, but she's kind got that cool mom, fitness instructor, posts wine memes on Facebook kind of vibe going on. She's a good match for him.
Don't forget the compounding effect of overcompensating for that height.

Reminds me of my gay friend who chases nothing but gym guys and complains about being single. No self awareness at all.
Some earlier wanted to call the reactions jealously when the tone of this article is pretty douchey.

You really can't generalise models like that. They're from all different sorts of backgrounds and I'm sure they have a wide range of personalities.
The real story here is that an average looking cunt of a man couldn't make anything substantial with beautiful women who were just with him for his money. What a surprise.

Yup. I dated an attractive girl and those things did bother me. But then again, I feel she was
overly friendly with her guy friends. We broke up but not because of that.
Not saying that the article holds any truth though. I can imagine finding someone attractive AND intelligent or relatable to be not easy, but by no means impossible.

There's not an element of truth to it.
My wife watches Grey's Anatomy and Jesse Williams (Avery) has a similar thing going on. It's really admirable.
