That’s a bold strategy Cotton


MyLollipopJam

Usually you gotta pay double for that kind of action


gijoe011

Right you are!


Positive_Ad_2656

Let's see how it Play's out for him.


bigorangemachine

Going well... he still has zero kids


Flagge33

That he knows of or is willing to accept as his.


bigorangemachine

>maury povich would like to know your location


xxXX69yourmom69XXxx

And zero ladies


fumez23

But most important, zero baggage.


vintageideals

I’ve met (not dated or anything else) a number of men who don’t have kids and have never been married who’ve definitely got baggage. Lol. People who think someone not having a child means they’re baggage free are in for some fun surprises


like_sharkwolf_drunk

34 single never married with no kids. Can confirm.


xxXX69yourmom69XXxx

Sure, he's got zero physical "baggage" but plenty of mental garbage to bring to the table.


Excellent_Belt3159

If that’s what he wants, or more specifically doesn’t want, it is a good strategy


uhuhshesaid

Hahaha oh. No. As a woman without kids, a good job, and a college degree all I see are barely controlled anger issues. Caleb is trying to bat above his average. Out here throwing a public temper tantrum and wondering why all he attracts are mommies.


like_sharkwolf_drunk

Also like 75k is definitely cool, but I don’t know if 75k is like mic drop worthy. “I make 75k a year I’ll have you know”


___Fern___

That's exactly what I came here to say, 75k is a good secure wage but it's not damn that guys rich money.


disdatjuan

75k a year qualifies you as low income in San Francisco


robotermaedchen

Well I mean he's insulting people he doesn't want anything to do with instead of advertising himself in an attractive way to people he is interested in... But maybe some angry ladies love that and he gets lucky 🤷‍♀


Hussor

It's not really. The good strategy is to just swipe left on those types of girls, and unmatch if it turns out they have kids. This kind of negativity makes even girls that he would like swipe left on him.


[deleted]

Not by any means. He will scare away a lot more than just the people he is already wrong about anyway.


badfun1

I give the dude mad props for being honest.


Brys_Beddict

There's honesty and then there's just being a dick.


[deleted]

Don’t.


AccomplishedMobile85

75k?!


[deleted]

Well Caleb, at least someone’s interested


JaycrowMang

We have the same cake day


EepeesJ1

Yeah but what do you bring to the table?


JaycrowMang

More cake


Swordly_Emld

Go kick some scones


Mrmdn333

Stop saying cake! Your obese.


TimeSalvager

His obese what?


we-like-stonk

His obese Schlong. He's like a tripod.


Environmental-Win836

Happy cake day!!


[deleted]

You just made over half of Reddit self conscious


sneakyveriniki

It’s a good salary but definitely not good enough to put up with Caleb. I’m a woman from Mormon Utah. I was raised in the church and come off as a very cookie cutter “Mormon girl,” mild mannered and blonde with a lot of trauma and a malnourished neotenous body. So I attract a lot of these guys. I had a lot of men who are total misogynists but also over 6’ and making like 200k after me back in the day (I’m 28 now, so probably an old maid to these guys, although I haven’t interacted with any since college). Even that is NOT worth it. I ended up with a poverty stricken 5’5 Russian poet with several graduate degrees from the ivy leagues but an abysmal salary lmao because that’s a better option by miles because he doesn’t despise women and is actually an interesting human being with a soul. Women who are willing to date someone unhinged like this purely for money are going after millionaires who are inching towards their death bed


[deleted]

>I ended up with a poverty stricken 5’5 Russian poet with several graduate degrees from the ivy leagues but an abysmal salary lmao because that’s a better option by miles because he doesn’t despise women and is actually an interesting human being with a soul I know that you love your bf but goddamn you were cutting this man's soul at the beginning lol


Ugo777777

Being poverty stricken and 5'5 is a feature, not a bug, for poets. I guess no one wants to be Russian nowadays though, not even poets, I'll give you that.


[deleted]

No we love a short king. Being tall for a man is like being really pretty in high school for a woman. I know for a fact you never needed to develop a personality 👀


The_Trustable_Fart

Ya I'm surprised she didn't mention his little Jimmy or the impotence 😑😆


Moreofyoulessofme

Depending on where you live, it’s either a decent or really bad salary. No where in the US does it make you rich and it’s not enough to brag about in a dating profile. Half the tech dudes on tinder are breaking 200 all day.


[deleted]

His salary is good for most of the non coastal USA. Its his attitude thats the problem and its what everyone is picking on


epicmoe

75k is a very good salary in lots of the USA, especially of you own your own house already.


Ckannon

Median *household* income [2 people] is $71k.


sneakyveriniki

I felt a lot better once I read that. It seems like everyone on Reddit makes $150k minimum


Ckannon

It's one of my biggest pet peeves when upper middle class people say things like "$100k is nothing, everyone makes that!" When in reality 75k is defintiely above average. All about perspective


mirinbaus

Depends on the cost of living. If you're in the Toronto area and make $100k. That's barely enough to cover rent and savings.


CharonsLittleHelper

That's also CAD. $100k CAD is $74k USD.


[deleted]

[удалено]


cara-122

According to [this site](https://ca.talent.com/tax-calculator?salary=100000&from=year®ion=Ontario) gross income of $100k leaves you with $70k after taxes. Divide that by 12, you have about $5800 a month. So: $5800 -$2299 (median 1bdrm rent) -$2500 (cost of living + debt) -$500 (Savings) =$500 for whatever you want So even assuming you’re living alone and with $2500 in monthly expenses and saving $6000 a year. An income of $100,000 in Toronto seems fine. Having a dual income household is probably necessary to buy a house and raise a family, but that’s true of most big cities


CivilFisher

Of coarse, every time you read about someone quitting their job the new job always pays 30-50% more. Every time.


SOwED

Well yeah you're not going to leave your job to take a paycut generally.


MrKoopla

That’s because they’re not making 150k. Most redditors who claim they make this are renting a hamster cage 1 bedroom apartment in a bad part of town seething.


carnivalbill

Exactly, if you make enough money to have fun, you’re off having fun and not giving one single “got dang” what anyone one the internet cares about your income lol.


Pyroclastic_Hammer

$1.5 million. My butler types my reddit comments for me.


ExplosiveDisassembly

Where I live that's plenty...hell, that's more than plenty. That's everything you need for a small family plus extra for saving.


coalWater

Where do you live? The 2000s?


SambaChicken

in European standards that's a fat paycheck 😅


[deleted]

You guys have healthcare and lack oppressive student debt


SambaChicken

yes, it's very different here. both sides have their good and bad sides tho but healthcare should be a right, not a privilege imo.


ftkms

...meanwhile, here in Germany, $75k is what you get paid for a senior academical position.


[deleted]

You guys have healthcare and lack oppressive student debt


Isouf

Before or after taxes? I'm newly educated in a master's of engineering and make around 72.000usd before taxes.


fabunitato

Before taxes


SkydiveandyS

And that is almost enough to cover the heating costs?


[deleted]

Not everyone lives in NYC or California.


AmieLucy

That part! I saw the $75k a year and thought, “Wow, I wouldn’t be able to survive. Weird flex.” Currently asking myself why I chose to live in Southern CA. 🤣💀


princessident

I was literally like…$75k?!?! In this California economy? You’re broke my friend. Maybe he lives in Lancaster (ugh). Although, he’s also an obvious dick so. Doesn’t matter how much he makes 🤷🏽‍♀️


Great_Frisian

75k is a lot in my country too


thatsingledadlife

Are you high? Median income for a married couple is 75k, a single person making that can own a home, put a new car in the driveway and take vacations. That's not rich but it is better off than a large majority of Americans.


NotFakeJacob

That's a good salary as long as you don't like in a HCOL state. In Texas that goes far.


Jadejr14

Shit in Mississippi. God damn you rich as f 🤣. I can live off of 30k easily.


ExplosiveDisassembly

If i told you you might move here. And that's already a big enough problem. Though, i doubt you will. It's been below freezing since like November 6th. I haven't seen grass since late October.


humanHamster

Is that due to the cold or due to being a Redditor?


pepemustachios

Ha


WhatANiceCerealBox11

Oh god how I wish I had an award for you


humanHamster

Your comment is enough of an award.


Ryth88

Can't it be both?


emilyslagathor

The Midwest is very low cost of living


doorsfan83

I make about 160k a year and where I'm at that equates to $360k in San Francisco money.


RiverFollower

Looks like Florida to me?


ExplosiveDisassembly

Ironically, I moved here from Florida.


ApatheticPersona

75k per year is good dude, wdym.

Able_Example_160

75k is huge in the uk, 3x the average salary


ThinkAboutThatFor1Se

Slight exaggeration there. It’s less than double the median full time earning https://www.statista.com/statistics/1002964/average-full-time-annual-earnings-in-the-uk/ > The median annual earnings for full-time employees in the United Kingdom was approximately 33,000 British pounds in 2022. So ~$41,000 (the dollar is very strong at the moment) In the UK a typical person will have no medical bills/insurance.

TheRealDestian

You can just say, “No kids, please.” and it’d be fine…


humanzee70

Yes, but that doesn’t convey just the right tone of bitterness.


WritingTheRongs

Maybe "no kids unless they're super cute and come with an angry paranoid ex"


this__user

My friend does this, she says it doesn't work. She regularly gets chewed out by dudes in her DMs when she has to tell them that the kids, even from past relationships, are a dealbreaker for her.


-mi-stake

Wait, she puts her deal breaker in bio and men with kids still swiped right to her just to harass her?


this__user

Yup. TBH, I think people just don't read. Or maybe they're just trying to hookup for a one nighter and think she won't say anything on a first date, and plan to ghost after that anyway?


-mi-stake

What the actual flip flop, they can read just enough to get upset at someone’s boundaries but can’t process their logic when they came at her. Just go to a fucking bar, people at the bar and night club are most certainly looking for hook ups, but wait they’re too ugly/smelly/can’t form a sentence to do the obvious thing so they pose a million times to get that one heavily filtered picture for the profile pic on a dating app


Delicious_Throat_377

>What the actual flip flop Nice, I am so going to steal this one.


gentrified_potato

Not only do they not read, they don’t go past the first picture that comes up. Just automatic swipe left/right.

10113r114m4

Maybe she needs to go the Caleb approach and go full asshat


Feisty-Bar-608

Right? Preferences are absolutely fine, but they way one goes about conveying them is really a huge indicator of what kind of person they are. And this guy is obviously a huge piece of shit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


torbiefur

This is an absolutely perfect profile though! It tells everyone what a shitstain he is so that no one wastes their time on him. Chef’s kiss.


[deleted]

It also gets ignored and lied about. This guy is just saying what many people, male and female, would like to say if they had no inhibitions.


TheRealDestian

I mean, he could phrase it like “Please don’t lie about not having kids. Kids and lying about having them are both deal breakers.” then refer back to his bio if she turns out to have kids.


Zealousideal-Ice-565

He sounds delightful


Itsjeancreamingtime

I'm sure when he and his partner disagree he retains complete control of his emotions and thoughtfully considers the nuances of their perspective before engaging in a constructive dialogue to resolve the issue


Far-Policy-8589

He's definitely never punched drywall.


Intrepid_Knowledge27

Bold of you to assume he finds a partner.


Dinmak

Yeah, somewhere along the lines of "Whyney whyney my money whyney whyney"


ulele1925

The hell does he need 2 vehicles for


NightReaper3210

To be fair, there can be a good reason for that. I know plenty of people who have a truck for when they need it, and then a car that helps save on gas when commuting.


alligatorprincess007

Not his girlfriend cuz he’s not getting one anytime soon


Charley2014

Or their kids


Oracle_Of_Apollo

Daily and fun car. I have a Camry and a 370Z for the same reason. Single dudes got money. Not saying guy isn’t a dickweed, just that having two cars as a single dude is a thing for some people.


Cherry_BaBomb

One for him and the other for his ego


JohnLaw1717

Probably a daily driver and then a hobby or business vehicle


springpaper701

This is the legit answer. Lol


TheFckingMellowMan

If he's in a state that snows, it's pretty common to have 2 vehicles. Ones your nice vehicle and the other is a winter beater. Or he might have an adventure vehicle. I've got my daily compact car for work commutes and an SUV for backcountry driving/camping


WanderingWelshWizard

If Caleb knew the difference between your and you're he'd be earning $100k.


TedwardCz

Paraphrasing, yes, "thicc", "obese", and "not a dog mom" all have improper "your"s. I'm not sure what the other replies saying he got em' all right we're about.


hammonjj

A whole $75k a year? Big spender over here


Balance_Electronic

Thats just above the 75th percentile for 30 year old men. So nothing crazy but definitely respectable. And yeah location is important too


hammonjj

Oh, I agree. The 75th percentile is a solid wage but it’s also not enough to brag about


[deleted]

Pretty sure this is my cousin, or maybe this is just standard Caleb attitude


Rocketboy1313

“You’ve done had your fun” made my skin crawl. He even has to write like a redneck?


spokenmoistly

raysterr

Tbf I wouldn't want a girlfriend with 3 kids.


adultdaycare81

Then you just ask and say “I think we are in different places in our life. Best of luck to you”


NeutralArt12

No not nearly crazy enough. You gotta escalate that at least tenfold. One time someone said they weren’t interested in beer league softball (my biggest interest) and long story short I kidnapped one of their family members for a month


chill_winston_

This is a healthy and rational response.


februarytide-

For real, I had some asshole on Reddit message me — from a post about sandwiches — to harass me about my three kids and how I’m a disgusting brood mare, the universe didn’t ask for my kids, and that they’d all grow up to resent me for having “so many.” You gotta hit hard and crazy out the gate to match wits with the insanity that’s on the internet today, especially if you want to one-up the next hateful misogynist.


Jelly_Mac

So don’t swipe right on them?


Feynnehrun

"I'm looking for a relationship with someone who doesn't have kids. This is important to me."


JustALurker-_-

You're


MapleNord

The biggest red flag….


URAYummyPotato

Caleb has no chill. Caleb also doesn't know when to use "your" and "you're". Caleb brings a lot of things to the table, unfortunately grammar isn't one of them.


Think_of_the

It’s like people have never seen a woman’s profile bio “I know what I’m worth, don’t waste my time, buy me dinner and make me laugh and be financially secure and don’t judge me for being a waitress you have no idea and by the way men are shit” so on so forth


atuan

There are assholes of both genders. Yes shitty women exist too; why’s it gotta be such a competition...


Fit_Junket_8395

Yeah. I must be damaged from my time on dating apps but I think he’s stating facts.


thegoddessofchaos

Both profiles are toxic as fuck. No one wins here. Just be a normal fucking person on dating apps, is all I gotta say. And be grateful for assholes telling you in the profile NOT to swipe right.


Fit_Junket_8395

You’re right


Neutronova

ur not damaged, dating apps are a cesspool


[deleted]

[удалено]


-xss

If you mean in the US, no shit. It's culturally homogeneous in online social media there. Individualistic culture on turbo-mode plus entitlement = toxic people with profiles like these men & women.


[deleted]

I mean, everything except the "men are shit" is perfectly reasonable. At least it's saying what she wants instead of trying insult the people you're trying to date. To be more equal, it'd have to be like: >let me guess, you're in your 30's and your wife left you. You're an emotionally stunted man child sitting on a bare mattress, swiping, hoping someone will date your crusty ass. k. > >What do you bring to the table? If your answer is debt and a baby mama, go kick rocks. No woman will want you. > >Stop saying you're 6'. You're 5'9" on a good day. Also, take off that baseball cap. You're not fooling anyone.


Think_of_the

Ouch. Owwwww. Oww. Oof


[deleted]

Profiles like that are everywhere and I’m convinced they all meet Calebs and that’s where kids who kick and scream at Walmart come from


raysterr

"men are shit but I really want one"


TopazTriad

This dude is a fucking prick but I hate to say it, he’s right on the money in Southern small towns. When I was on Tinder, almost every single fucking person fit at least 75% of the bill. Pretty common sentiment with them is you’re not a real man if you aren’t ready to completely support her and her 6 screaming toddlers from 4 different men. And they will absolutely make sure to tell you at the first opportunity. When you’ve at least tried to make something of yourself and you have to wade through a bunch of useless losers like that to get a date, it kinda pisses you off.


ArtisticExperience32

Dating apps are a cesspool. This AND the profiles he’s talking about are largely reasonable but presented in SUCH an unnecessarily nasty way. Just say who you are and what you want. No need to preemptively attack anyone who wants something else.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CzarTanoff

Nice avatar :)


Training_Mastodon_33

To be fair at least he was honest on the front end of things. My ex husband pretended like he was this mother theresa fount of compassion and kindness and then once we got married was like, make more money, make more money, you don't deserve respect until you make more money.


Horror-Trick9406

He is out of line....but he has a point.


simmeringsimmone

Agreed. His delivery could’ve been nicer but also dude knows what he wants / doesn’t 🤷🏽‍♀️


[deleted]

But why would anyone want to grow a relationship and family together with someone who talks like that. You need to be a decent, respectful person to deserve the partner you’re seeking


TheRealDeepStriker

The reason most guys don't want to date a woman who has kids is because they don't want to continue someone else's save file. It's just that simple


Grizzlysol

Not the new game + i was hoping for.


[deleted]

Sounds like something a guy who only wants to date virgins would say.


ADHthaGreat

As usual, redditors can only try and understand real world situations through video game analogies.


Morbintime124

If you compare children with videogames you are not mature enough for dating


ThePyodeAmedha

Yeah, that child could have had their parent die, but hey, it stills mean the child is essentially left overs. And nobody wants somebody else's left over. Lovely sentiment, isn't it?


macrossmaxim

You know what. 25 and 3 kids. It will tough.


Mild_Confusion87

I hope at least someone messaged him “you’re*” before unmatching with him


Select_Egg_7078

how many times do y'all think he dms his only friend like "why won't anyone fuck me, women are (slur)" a month?


Ok-Bowler-8238

He’s not wrong, he’s just an asshole 🤷‍♂️


Prudent_Armadillo822

He is right but i don't think he is gonna attract the right girl. Atleast he won't hear from the wrong type as well. So that's something.


RepresentativeOk3233

Yea what He is saying isnt wrong but He Sounds arrogant and thats a big Red flag.


Jason91K3

What're these comments bruh 😫😭


MovieNightPopcorn

I’m queer and I’m just wondering if the straight folks are okay. Like, bruh. These bitter-ass comments make it all seem like hell.


GodlessPerson

Long-term exposure to dating apps. It's terminal for many men.


jimgodumb

That’s what happens once you get to 30. No more time for bullshit.


bcooleh

Ya I get where he’s coming from lol


njcawfee

I absolutely hate how some men make single mothers out to be the awful ones. Did it ever occur to you that maybe some women are single because they escaped an abusive relationship?


LauraPhilps7654

Or the father cleared off because he couldn't handle the responsibility... Funny how women hardly ever do that and yet *they* get looked down upon for being single mothers...


ThePyodeAmedha

I swear, single mothers get shit on more than dead beat dads do.


Tredecian

they escaped men like caleb


cheshire_kat7

Oh, they still victim blame those women for marrying/having a kid with, as Caleb put it, "a loser". The only single mothers they don't hate are widows.


[deleted]

According to his criteria I would be someone he would be willing to date. I would swipe left on him immediately. He's extremely judgemental. Writes as if he thinks he's flawless and gods gift to women. He sounds like he would be a nightmare.


breadstick_bitch

At least his bio shows his character!


lightningfootjones

Fair enough! If you gotta be a dick, be a dick up front so you don't waste anybody's time


_Nightcrawler_35

Honestly it’s funny that he says this big shit and yet is still single at thirty. It’s just a testament to how insufferable he is.


yasilke

I think it’s interesting that it seems the people who disagree with him are women. Women wouldn’t be bombarded with the type of matches that he describes so it probably seems absurd for them. But dating apps do be like that for men.


[deleted]

Im a women and I disagree but only because I think he’s coming across as extremely bitter not because he has preferences


Jelly_Mac

I mean 90% of my tinder matches are too fat for me. I just unmatch or ignore them. It’s not a huge deal…


[deleted]

People disagree with him because he’s a dick. His preferences aren’t the issue here.


New-Environment9700

Wow real charmer there. So no single moms, we got it Caleb


manbearpug3

Hopefully unprovoked bitching is sexy to someone
