Hello neighbor.

Whilst I sympathize with your cause of finding quality women, Atlanta is a very target rich enviroment.

If you're having problems here, I don't know what to tell ya...but good luck.

Those women who are placing ads may be that portion of the population who cannot find and keep a real relationship.

OTOH I have a number of friends and acquaintances who have met mates on the internet. They go to match and goodgenes and have had really good luck, I'm not sure I'd want to do it but it worked for them. amihotornot is another fun site but I don't think they're looking for 'relationships' of the type we'd be interested in.

Women want men with money and men want women with sex appeal

Correction: women want men with strength, and men want women with beauty. Strength and beauty can emerge in permutations other than beaucoup cash and dazzling curves.

Kidding, ladies.

One key is finding a mate, without looking for a mate.

That sounds like a paradox, but it isn't. Five years ago, Newsweek recommended my column, and among the results of that was a short, funny email from a lady in Indiana. I was burned out from prior disasters, and not in the market. The same was true of her.

With hundreds of emails, and several phone calls that lasted seven hours, we got to know each other better than some folks do after years of unfulfilling marriage, yet we had not even met, yet.

When we finally got together, it was well-nigh certain that we would wind up both married, and well-mated. Absent any disaster, that is. There were no disasters, and we are doing a reasonable job of living happily ever after.

But none of that would have happened, if either of us had been actively in the market for marriage. After all, it makes zero rational sense for anyone living in a small town in North Carolina to consider "dating" someone who lives in a small town in Indiana. It's impossible on grounds of transportation, alone.

So, from a sample of one, my advice is, don't play the game. Don't try to force fate to do what you want. Keep your eyes and ears open and your antennae on full alert, and go with the flow.

I may actually see the problem. Your method of selection needs . . . refining. :)

While I certainly sympathize with you, I'm going to politely take issue with a few of your points. I mean no offense by this.

First, you say you 'hunt' women. Is that a joke or are you preying on them as much as the gold diggers prey on you? Like attracts like. You will catch a certain type of fish depending on the bait you use. Men who flash money attract gold diggers. Women who lure with sex attract men looking for a piece of a$$.

Second, are you overlooking the 'less than perfect at first sight' girls? If you consider yourself a catch are you looking for a solid 10 looks and personality? That'll never happen. Very few women with great personality and morals spend the hours a day it takes to look like a supermodel. Likewise, the ones with perfect bodies are superficial by nature and will almost always be lacking in other areas.

Third, if you are considering marriage to a woman and feel you need a prenup, you've got no business marrying her. I agree with another poster. If anyone ever asked me to sign a prenup I'd take that as my cue to walk out. You don't begin a marriage planning for the divorce.
