Dating Questions

G-d damn I miss the dating scene in NYC. So many people . .. such an open culture. I currently work in Switzerland (doing commodities). Anyhow . . . a few questions primarily for the single ones out there:

1) How would you break out the way you meet women? (i.e. split amongst online, setups by friends/family, events, cold approaches etc).

2) For the guys in their early 30s: do you feel a greater desire to settle down? Has your approach to dating or to women in general changed? How?

3) For the guys who do want to settle down (irrelevant of age), how do you handle chicks who are HOT and into you, but you know in your gut that there's no future with that chick. Are you still spending time with that chick even though your time is precious and there's an opportunity cost wrt meeting "the right" chick.

4) How important is a chick's job or income level?

Cheers, Ampey

god you guys are depressing

I don't accept sacrifices and I don't make them. ... If ever the pleasure of one has to be bought by the pain of the other, there better be no trade at all. A trade by which one gains and the other loses is a fraud.
