What (if anything) should be salary/NW/age parameters for a life partner?

[Anonymous]

Mid-50s divorced straight woman, earn $250K, NW $4M, one adult child. Thin, pretty, nice.

Hypothetical partner must be a decent human and not currently married.

So your biggest concern with finding someone else while in your mid-50s is their wealth? Can't imagine why you are single.

See if anyone is interested in you first then come back and let us triage them.

PS - Also, I am an inverted-triangle shape, so I have to try to minimize my top, and try to wear darker colors (although sometimes all white/cream or other monochrome).

I like more textured things, in that they are more forgiving (say that a T shirt... which is what started all this) but I can't do really textured fabrics given my body shape.

For this reason (broad shoulders), puffy sleeves and other voluminous tops just don't work.

I also don't find button downs comfortable (in addition to the gaping issue).

6 feet; size 14 usually.

You posted this stuff already OP.

Try not being so materialistic, OP. Might have helped you stay married.

Thin and a size 14 do not align. Do you mean that’s your shoe size?

At mid-50s it’s over. Why do you need a partner at that age? A new partner at that age will just disturb your peace and mess up your life. You are financially secure. Your kids are adults. You don’t need a man to add meaning to your life.

I hear you.

You shouldn't set parameters like this but ideally the person would be able to support himself. The amount of his salary and net worth should match how he likes to spend.

We must be similarly yoked, so mid-6-figure salary, be within 10 years of each other, ivy league grad at some point in their education

Does an 8” D help?

No, above average is unimportant and often a negative in or out of bed.

I think you should switch teams. Start dating women.

oh please. Would you tell a man to not care about a woman's appearance when searching for a mate?

I hate the misogynist hypocrisy.

Everyone has preferences and preferring a beauty is no more or less valid or noble than preferring resources.
