I didn't think Aella of all people would put out a bounty. She must be looking for a wealthy man. As another commenter here said, it's two circles as far as the overlap goes for what she seems to seek - which I think is pointed out by how all the men she does know that meet her criteria are incompatible on some other fundamental level with her. (Not uber rich, not poly, not available) What's funny to me about seeing the bounty at the end was that I had a similar bounty to friends and peers. I offered $50k then $100k then $250k then $500k... Eventually I started asking people, "I don't want to seem ridiculous here but guys... even at $500k none of you have even attempted. Do I really say $1m to get a single introduction?" I stopped even bringing up the bounty a long time ago. The more I told people of what I'd offer and their immediate refusal to even try to introduce me to anyone solidified just how much all the people I have in my circle thought I was destined to be alone due to my lack of physical attractiveness. They would mention they knew no one or that everyone they knew would not find me attractive in the slightest and it was futile for them to even bother anyone. In all that time, only one gay man I had only talked to a handful of times set me up on two blind dates and I didn't ever prompt him about anything. Just told him I had been in NYC for a couple years and still had never been on a single date. The women who showed up didn't know what I looked like and neither did I for those women. I was just given two phone numbers and a couple names - so I arranged the dates and they showed up. Of course, it was a complete failure. The women saw me on first sight and were like, "Well, I guess this is what I get for trusting a gay man's sense of taste..." I hope I never have to write a substack to find a partner. I want to completely forget these miserable years of being single and have a loving family to make it all fade away.
