similar path, career means nothing if you don't have a family, and while career may help with family it's entirely unrelated to the state of modern women. like you have more dating prospects with your career, but that just translates to you being able to marry women who whored around in their teens and early 20s who are now aging out and looking to cash out before they go bust, instead of just being limited to women over 200lbs or single mothers. all the options are still trash, i would still rather die alone.  i think for me it's the fact that relationships are the one thing you have a degree of control over. it's something you consent to, meaning it's entirely on me if i accept the humiliation of dating a "former" slut or fat girl, where my job/career has some leeway, but at the end of the day you need to pay bills and you need money to live, so i'm less judgemental about peoples career and not that concerned with my own since that's a need, where a relationship is a want and if you're willing to sell yourself short for a want thats on you.
