I don't care who you are, you'll cry.
Wow op. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm 21 just graduated college and have 2 job opportunities fastly approaching while knowing the woman I will ask to marry me within the next year. I feel like a huge pussy but I still feel like I have no idea what's going on. You have my respect for rising to the occasion and bettering yourself. Would rep but I have none I'm new to this forum.

Op what do you do when literally every girl you come across is a confused sloot whose only concerns are ********, shopping, and clubbing? I've been on a couple dates over the past couple weeks and frequent the bars, not every weekend as I'm almost always working on weekends, but I think I've pretty much lost faith in finding worthy girls.

All the girls who seem to have a good head on their shoulders are all about money and status. For example I'm at a bar talking with a girl, laughing, enjoying myself, and she is too. Then the inevitable comes up, where did you go to school, what did you study, how old are you, where do you work, etc. It always comes back to essentially the girl wanting to know how much money I make. I do well for myself, live in a nice apartment, but I'm not made of money

But then the opposite end of the spectrum is the classless sloot, they don't have values or even basic manners. They're loud, obnoxious, and annoying. They're only good for sex but they expect much more than that

Where are the decent girls in between?

Not at bars brah. The girls there are in for free alchy or sex or both. Money is gonna rule that scene
School may not be good either.
The question is: what is your preferred scene?
A nice, pretty, high quality girl that will put out but only to you?

You want high quality, or you want put out, or you want both?
And you need to be real about you're answer, because the greater the rewards, the higher the sacrifice beforehand.
Many times guys want all high quality this or that, but are not willing to make the sacrifice needed.

The bright side is that you got out of there. Rep for actually sharing that.

This is just me ok?
If its not your scene, don't flame me.

I would start looking at some of the girls at the gym, start easy friendly conversations.
Some of them are very nice people, but a lot of them can be very guarded. Sincerely nice guys are gonna stick out.

Also- church. Anybody go to church anymore? There are lots of nice and pretty girls at church, but you're not gonna get them in the sack and you shouldn't try there. Its counterintuitive.

I would do B, because fam is so important to me.

For a guy that NEVER wanted to get married (in my early 20s) I could never imagine life without my wife and 3 amazing kids.

So if fam is important do B, if not, do A
Both would work, and ne sure to account for curveballs, cause life will throw those.
Leave room for adjustment. Like if you go A, and it takes till 45 don't stress, just move ahead.
