I went on a date with the shallowest man I’ve ever met.

I’m not sure if I should post this, but Louise, this guy was the most shallow person I’ve ever met. I just want to tell someone about it and then forget about it.

So he was 37, about sixteen years my senior.

He was attractive and financially successful. Throughout the two-hour date, he kept saying how he doesn’t like going on apps in our Southern city because the girls aren’t as fit and there are some single moms. He also implied several times that he simply does not find women his age attractive.

He mentioned his salary (which is high) about forty times. He kept talking about the car and house he wanted, as well as the house he bought.

I felt as if I were in a cartoon. At one point, he claimed to have a stack of books in his old apartment in a European city where he was stationed for his job (in hedge fund management), which he never read, kept there to impress others, and simply gave away when he moved.

He didn’t have anything inside of him. He had no appreciation for beauty, art, or love, or anything else. His entire plan was to find the smartest and most beautiful woman under 30 to date him, and that was the end of it.

I’ve read a lot of dating complaints from women on this site, and I want you to know that being alone is preferable to being with someone like that. Do not be swayed by good looks and money if the person has nothing inside.
