I think many people who 'choose' to remain single either just gave up or are living with the 'red pill' belief that if they focus on their career and other things now, they will be in a prime position to date high quality women when they are in their late 20's/early 30's. Or they are in jobs that are so demanding that it's hard to find time to date.

 

Don't have the energy and being single hasn't ever made my life worse

The important thing is never to let oneself be guided by the opinion of one's contemporaries; to continue steadfastly on one's way without letting oneself be either defeated by failure or diverted by applause.

On a serious note, I just don't find a lot of American women all that interesting.

I'm very attracted to 3 things - authenticity, honesty, and confidence.

But every American women that I've been remotely interested in just seem to either have trouble with the first two or really deeply lacking in confidence. I'll bite if the confidence is there, but I can't handle the fake conversations. They just want to skip to having sex... I like sex but like can we at least talk about something real so I don't feel used after? Even if it's for a hook-up, it's more meaningful to at least have some baseline connection...

I find Central and Northern European women (Germany, Netherlands & Nordics) to be more my vibe. Women from Australia and New Zealand are nice as well but definitely prefer the Central and Northern European women more. My longest relationship was with a Nordic girl and she was as authentic and honest as it comes. And that quiet confidence... just drew me in.

Basically, I find American women to be sort of fake and conversations boring. I find many women from Central/Northern Europe cultures to be attractive because it's like you can just meet them and have a deep intellectual conversation. They're not super picky about the topic and will respond well as long as you are being yourself. They also seem independent enough to express what they want in a subtle yet attractive ways. I mean who doesn't like a beautiful woman who's also smart, confident, and independent?
