I met my ex on a dating app in 2020. I was ready to settle down, and he seemed to be too, so things got serious quickly. We bought a dog and picked out an engagement ring.
Then, it all fell apart when I learned he had three other girlfriends, all of whom thought they were exclusive with him.
I have a doctoral degree in public health, specializing in social and behavioral sciences. I'm a smart person, so I blamed myself for missing the signs — though even in retrospect, I couldn't see any.
Almost immediately, I realized there were only a few other people who could understand what I was going through: My ex's other girlfriends.
First, I told the three other women my ex had been seeing at the same time as me. All were very shocked, and none of them knew that he had been cheating on them. When I found out he'd cheated on previous partners, I messaged them, too. All in all, I got in touch with about 130 women.
All of the girlfriends were kind, compassionate, and smart. Most were Asian, like me, and professionals: lawyers, engineers, and artists.

The problem is worse than your suggesting.
Back in the days you could peruse singles listings for free, the largest group of female professionals in those listings were female attorneys.
Meanwhile, the guys would rather date their secretaries.
I’d bet 25 percent of the 130 are lawyers.
Highly degreed but ignorant and lacking common sense.
We had a happy hour last week, in honor of our summer interns, as their term is winding down. I'm actually a bit more confident about our future, given their performance this summer. All are bright, motivated, and are skilled at what they do.
One of my associates, a middle aged gentlemen, agreed with my assessment. The ladies laughed when we told them they're intimidating, but they all deserve men who can keep up with them, and treat them with love and respect.
Another woman playing the perpetual victim.
She joined the "dating" app looking for hookups and then blames a man for "preying" on her.
She then continues: I've dated a bit since my ex... Ex??? She still refuses to accept reality. She wasn't his girlfriend and thus can't be his ex. She was a side piece at best, who knows where in the order, but was just something for fun, not for meaning.
She continues: I'm not in a serious relationship... Of course not. She never was because it was never her goal. She's looking for casual hookups, not serious relationships.
Harem Share `em
They hear that already from simps. Hearing it from an "old codger" like you just cements their doom. They're going to continue being "boss babes" who "don't need no man" until it's too late when they smack The Wall in predictable fashion.
Sounds like just the type Romeo goes for ... and gets.
No. Just no. No one deserves anyone. Telling impressionable women, who have already been lied to their entire lives by their Feminist mothers, only sets them up to turn down men they feel they deserve better than, all while discarding their eggs, until they hit The Wall and end up buying a cat to avoid dying alone.
> How did the guy possibly find the time?
You just riff on the same lines. Keep it light, keep it vague, keep it short. The women will fill in the conversation in their heads without you around.
130?
That’s a heavy lift.
Find it? The women didn't demand much time from him at all. They wanted sex and when they said they wanted more, he cut them loose.
These women would only demand time from the unfortunate bastard they feel they're settling for.
“they all deserve men who can keep up with them, and treat them with love and respect.”
Life does not work like that.
Nobody “deserves” anything.
They have to earn it with some street smarts and common sense.
“ I have a doctoral degree in public health, specializing in social and behavioral sciences. I’m a smart person”
Sorry, noooo.
As Art Fleming would say.
Must be lefties. All this education and not more than 10 brain cells between the lot of them!
Lol, no.
