Search Results: date a girl just for social status

When I was a young teenager my cousin told me that women go through these romantic phases in their life:

14-18 obessesive over crushes

19-24 party girl/date/sleep with as many hot and/or rich men as possible. Looks, social status take precidents over everything else at this time.


25-29 become nicer person/looking for the one to settle down with in LTR. Less shallow about looks and more emphasis on earning power/stability.


30+ will jump on any decent guy to start a family with/become psycho to find one.


The older I get the more and more I see this as being true (obviously there are many exceptions). What about you would you say this is true for most cases?

Im adopted, and live in a white western society with many minorites but the vast majority of these immigrants/minorities are of different ethncities/races than my own, there are barely any people here who look like i do and have a similar ethnic background.

I have been raised by white people and my culture and mindset is the same as the host white population, and i have many friends, but im not one of them, they treat me slightly differently, and majority of girls here are not open to dating people of my ethnicity/race. And while the immigrant girls are slightly more open to it, majority of them stick to their own kind as well.

I dont have a problem with my looks (im dark skinned but ambigous looking with semi caucasian features), and I've done pretty decent when it comes to flings, and drunken hookups, but in my 25 year old life i have maybe met one or two girls at most who was interested in actually dating me (one was way below me in looks and the other was a muslim immigrant). When many girls who even show physical attraction to me refuse to date me seriously along with many hints and clues, it makes it very obvious to me that race is an issue here.

Its worth pointing out that my race is very low status in the west and I've noticed that despite that i have a higher education than most of my friends, and im very social, get people to laugh pretty easily and pretty smart if i can say so myself, and in better shape than many of them,
i still have to work a lot harder than them to get a girls attention, despite the fact that i am of average height of this country and my looks alone make me stand out more from the crowd in most cases here. I seemingly have to compensate for my race, and in many cases its a dealbreaker for them so nothing i can do.

When i traveled to a south American country i noticed i was treated like one of them a lot of the time until they realized i didn't know Spanish (lol), and I had way more success with good looking girls there. So this really made me think...

Should i stay in my country, try to accept my situation here where i at least have my family and friends, or should i leave all behind while im still young and start a new life in a country where my race is not considered as less valued?

What would you do?
