Notes -
Congrats on the weight loss. I second another poster and encourage getting into lifting more. Not so much for dating as just feeling better overall.
You are taller than I expected based on some of your past dating posts. I assumed you were getting typical short guy treatment from the apps, but I would figure (wrongly, it seems) it wouldn't apply to someone who could plausibly claim 6'.
Your woes remind me of my brother's, although he had fewer flakes to deal with. He went on many dates and most were so terrible that I wish they had been recorded by hidden camera. He was making $$$ and living just outside a decent-sized city with a weak economy, so I figured that plus being in shape, 6', and handsome enough would work wonders. Not at all. Every PMC woman expected him to be a frequent world-traveler and outdoor sport enthusiast to an extreme level (how exactly all these women were affording their jetsetting outdoor lifestyles remains something of a mystery since they all had jobs paying far less than his), and the non-PMC women were unbelievable train wrecks. I don't know if it applies to Chicago, but some places are just have terrible dating scenes (or at least only terrible candidates download the apps).
