I just wanted to share some thoughts on this topic. Some of this I might have said before, but I want to make sure to share this out there for public consumption in case I did not.
#1) In my experience, women are becoming easier to deal with in the USA. It might just be the region I am, but I think this is due to a combination of a few things...
a) Women have now put career first and career is no longer fun time at work, with a trash economy and millions of immigrants coming in, they are struggling to keep their head above water. Many joke they want a sugar daddy, but deep down most don't want a life style like this. They want a man who can help bail them out. While this isn't an idea situation, it is an opportunity for men that didn't exist 10 years ago.
b) More women stayed single longer chasing a career, and now there are more late 20's-early 30's women, who have some real-life experience, who can actually appreciate a good man v. 20 years ago. I meet lots of women like this. The behavior and attitude difference of most women in this age range and women in their early 20's is often very different and much more reasonable.
c) Fewer and fewer men have a ton of disposable income and while women don't like this reality, they are coming to accept it more and more. Your competition is not as stark as you might imagine, most guys are hurting right now.
#2) As a man you must always be trying to grow and improve. This was true for all human history. Yes, men got married young, but they had to grow and improve, often still learning from their fathers and other older men, well into their 30's. Being a man is like being and Oak tree. It is a slow and long growth, but when you finally get there, you are sturdy and strong to survive the storms life throws at you. This includes improvement in physical, mental, financial, spiritual, as all these will be very important if you want to become a father.
#3) Patience, it just takes time, and in today's world it takes longer than ever before because men are held back so much. It is very tough as well, in your 20's your hormones are raging, but if you can battle through and grow and learn, the patience will pay off big time. I am in my late 40's and just feel like I am hitting my stride. And due to a few things, I feel I am probably experience attention from women most other men never experience. A lot of it is because I am tall and decent looking. I dress nice, I work out and eat religiously, and I work on my posture. Women notice this very quickly.
#4) Confidence and posture. These are probably the two things women notice first and find attractive. This will come from discipline, hard work, and the slow growth of believing in yourself. For the "natural" guys this comes to naturally, they might get lucky, find someone young and be done with it. If not, they will likely crash and burn as life disappoints them and have to start over like the rest of us. Chest out, walk with a purpose, each step, be friendly and have a look of confidence and happiness/peace in your eyes, and be in no hurry to respond to others to keep from buying into their frame.
#5) Working out. You should be trying to be as physically imposing as possible if you want to attract women. The larger and fitter you look, the more women notice. I am lucky to be tall. When I go thin, or have in the past, I become invisible to women. When I bulk up, women's eyes fall all over me. The difference is stark, shocking, almost should be a case study. I wouldn't mine losing 10 pounds for my joints and for jumping ability, and most of that weight would be muscle if I were to lose it. But I am keeping it on because I am trying to find the right woman and it opens up more possibilities for me.
