I actually see lots of military guys like this with hot wives like her. Like him, they tend to be confident, athletic, respectful guys. And that's usually enough for them to get an attractive wife, despite all the challenges that military life poses (eg, living far from population centers). Maybe they get them from small towns. They aren't usually competing with DC bigwigs for hypergamous Empowered Women. And she is almost assuredly the power hungry type if she's into poliitics and working as a congressional staffer. A captain in the Marines is nothing to her. Moderately high value guys are utterly disposable in any big city, not just DC. This chick, if she doesn't mind dating a little older, she could snag high powered officers in DC with ease.
I lived in a military town for a few months and noticed a lot of really hot wives with these guys so, naturally, I investigated further. A lot of these guys snare their wives very young. They get married between 19-21, when these chicks are still easily impressed. They also go for more traditional types that tend to value an old-school provider relationship. These girls were often knocked up or with kids already.
It's not surprising this didn't work on this chick, who wouldn't value any of his most pronounced traits. The truth is, she's probably not what he wants either. I doubt he's the kind of guy who doesn't mind a woman who's serviced 25-30 dicks already. He's probably looking for a housewife.
Haha, vindication, nice job. I never got close enough to these military couples to know the details and confirm my suspicions; I'd just see them walking around, but that was enough to make me scratch my head in wonder. It was always like, damn, these average guys get cute nice wives, while I'll be damned trying to find a woman like that when I'm going out. Confirmation that I'm not just some prick who repels all the "better" women - they just hardly exist in our surroundings, and turn into the woman you see here.
Still plenty of horror stories about military wives - and many women drive themselves crazy without their husbands around.
Plenty of commenters criticizing her for not moving forward with it, but there's no reason she should, when she could easily find a man without his drawbacks. It is a market after all.
Date Lab has an abominable record of setting people up. Unlike traditional matchmakers though, they only get one chance, because they never set anyone up for more than one date.
Speaking of the age thing, I saw this funny poster saying why college girls and older women are both better than women in their mid-to-late twenties. One line was,
college girl: cool with PB&J
Older woman: Knows how to cook, and cooks you meals.
Woman your age: Can't cook, insists you cook for her or take her out to expensive restaurants.
Think I have it on my other computer, will see later.
