I do try, but I think that one of the biggest problems is that living in a College town and most of the women I meet are college students. When I get to know them, I generally learn that their priorities in life do not match mine at all. I have met some who I have had a very high opinion of and was attracted to, but they all were married or had boyfriends.
Actually, the woman who I was the most attracted to (on a non-physical level) recently was a female mechanic and dirt-bike racer in her 40s who had suffered an injury to her head and lost her memory. :P I used to work with her while she was going to school to become a certified mechanic again. She was incredibly smart (after losing her memory and not being able to even recognize her children, she became more knowledgeable than most people her age in 1 1/2 years after the accident), pretty (despite never wearing make-up), hard working, very fun to be around, and very down to earth.
Unfortunately for me, it is usually women like her (much older than me) who I am attracted to, and occasionally a few women my age who are always already in a relationship. The more I get to know women my age, the more boring I generally find them. (with few exceptions, usually in a relationship already)
lol, I am hoping I can find a wife before I am middle-aged. :P
As far as traveling, the most traveling I have done is my study abroad trip, as I really cannot yet afford to travel a lot. (still got lots of debt I gotta get out from under) The one time I did travel, I found that most of the other travel abroad students as a rule had way too much money to spend, were pretty self-centered with a serious sense of entitlement, and were quite disconnected from the realities of life. If that is maturity, I want no part of it.
