Stoicism is the answer. The best advice you could ever receive about women is simply this: put zero, absolutely zero stock in to anything that comes out of any woman's mouth. Court attention at all cost. The only time to defend yourself is in public when your reputation is at immediate risk. This is the only time you're allowed to apologize. Going to women for advice is like a hunter asking a rabbit how it'd like to be shot. You seriously think it's going to tell you? You ask another hunter, "hey, man, can you show me how to get better at hunting?"

If you do nothing else, quit masturbating and using porn, work out with no exceptions at least five times a week, actually read some damn books and get your money going. Quit your job and get that business up and running. Be financially independent. Now, as for finding women that might be worth it - good luck. Let me know when you find a good place. To be a little more serious though, women are very malleable. Find one that doesn't have tattoos and seems to dress with some modesty. Screen early on by asking about how she feels about the internet at large. Inquire about how many kinds of social media she uses. Ask how often she's on tiktok, twitter, instagram, etc. Ask if she's done online dating before (instant next on a yes). Keep in mind, there's many out there that don't use them.

Other than that just wear clothes that fit, wear something that smells nice, smile at people and be willing to talk to someone even if someone might hear you. If you can do those things while not being fat, especially if you're just in basically good shape, you're doing better than the vast majority of guys out there. Last thing: women can always tell if you're low T. Notice the shit test and either agree and amplify or just give a simple chuckle.

If she is straightforward, honest (even if she too has made a few poor decisions in the past), willing to communicate, thinks beyond material things, and values family I think you should give her a chance.

Check out Meetups (not a dating site) and filter for groups interested in outdoors, foraging, fishing, conservative/republican, libertarian, car shows/mechanical, trade workers, etc. Get to know women in those types of groups. Even if some only want to be friends, network from there. Chances are they know someone looking to date and you can be "referred" by someone who knows your not a creep lol

Theres always church groups too, but that can be hit or miss

Women want someone that follows through, doesn’t play games, is capable, provides, is supportive, is honest but not too honest (at least at the beginning), is respectful, is hard working, smells nice 😂…

And, I’d cast a wide net. It’s a numbers game. You may have to go through 20 dates, but don’t give up. There are good women your age out there everywhere but you have to approach finding them with a plan of massive action. Don’t give up! Keep chugging along no matter how painful or how much work it is. And don’t get discouraged. You’re the man, you ultimately have time … but if you want it all right now, you gotta put in the work.

You got this!

Now that I'm not as inebriated, I will attempt to give you quality advice. Establish yourself, keep building your business and in a few years you can marry a younger woman. Your value in the eyes of women is only going up, as long as you aren't getting fat, weak and ugly as time passes. Be an ultra conservative traditional white male. Demand for real men is only increasing. We're approaching an era where females will reject soy faggots and crave masculinity. Keep building yourself and soon the women will be lining up. I'm willing to bet there are women who want you right now, but they may not be up to an acceptable standard. Don't compromise. Be patient.

Have a big dick. I don't know how else to help you. Worked for me, but I still hate women.

Don't be a fucking pussy.

Be a pussy-fucker.

Women want a man that's capable.

I'm in a similar situation. Me and my ex-fiance were about to buy a house and start our family and he bailed at the last second. I had to get my shit in order to afford the home alone and now I've just turned 27. I'm starting my first company, but super behind on family now. Probably going to co-parent or use a doner and have kids alone. I'm too old to start a relationship from scratch.

I'm not sure what advice to give. Here are some random things that might help:

• You can literally meet a chill girl anywhere. Some people say avoid dating apps. They can be a powerful tool if you learn to use them correctly and ignore bad traffic. Make a good profile explaining what you want and don't waste weeks/months chatting someone up. Be direct about meeting within a week or two in person and limit mobile communication to see if they're serious or not. Get to know them in the real world. Many girls will drag that shit on forever online.

• Meeting in real life is awesome. Church, gym, grocery store, hobby groups. Men almost never approach me and I'm one of the good looking ones. Especially not since COVID. I have literally not heard of a single couple that hasn't met each other through school or online dating. Start practicing smiling and waving at strangers. Move onto small chat with mothers/older men you pass. Once you get good at it move towards potential girlfriends. It's hard to learn to be chatty if you're socially retarded or an introvert. So practice it well.

• Workout. Care for your body. I would never consider even using someone as a doner if they didn't so much as respect their own bodies. Work really hard to look good. Be proud. Be confident. Even if you're on the older side we are a part of the loneliest generation who has never known true compassion and love in a romantic manner. You can take someone who is a little broken and glue them into a whole person and suitable life partner.

I know you're asking for a quality woman, but...what is a quality woman?

You need to determine what qualities are necessary and what flaws are acceptable. Think back to previous relationships you've had - what lasted longest and was most fulfilling? What was awful?

Be honest with yourself regarding your history, including old traumas. If you have a pattern of going after damaged women, you need to make sure you break that pattern.

And, off-topic-ish, if you have any questions on bookkeeping for your biz, shoot me a PM. I see people making some serious mistakes that I wind up charging a lot to fix for them.

1. Be attractive
2. Don't be unattractive

If you aren't fit and have your style dialed in, I would start with that. You didn't mention it so make sure you are hitting the gym eating good food and a good weight.

Make sure you eliminate as many things about yourself that are unattractive as you can. Do you come across as confident to women? Are you needy or validation seeking?
