I had another friend who was a tall catholic lawyer....after about 30, women would just fall all over him. He had a drinking problem and was very chauvinistic, but women liked the resumes. He is now unemployed while his wife works and takes care of the kids.

So his ego was writing checks his ass could cash? Funny how that works.

Ahhh!! Very good point!!
Save for slovenly sociopaths most middle aged men who are, in fact, looking for a long-term relationship don't seem to have much difficulty in securing a significant other. I don't know if it's because there is a larger segment of single women in that middle-age range or if it's because men are less particular about prerequisites than women or what - but you're right...the complaints from men who are unable to find a woman are significantly fewer.

My guess is a mix between the amount of available women and the fact a lot of men are less particular when it comes to the pre-requisites.

Ya know, if you're dating in your 40s them most age-appropriate men will be balding! It drives me crazy when women say that's a deal-breaker. Though to be honest, I've only read about that on here, none of my friends IRL care about that. Most of our partners are balding!

My only criteria are that he has to be 6' or above and have a degree from a Top 15 university. The rest is flexible.

This is a joke right? Does my sarcasm detector need to be fixed?

Right. This is the standard male opinion. You "don't care" about who we are. You're focusing on us as a person. Person, meaning, you really better have a nice ass, be age-appropriate, have clear skin, an adorable, symmetrical face, long legs would be great, and excellent hair.

The other part of this is that we all want "nice" girls. That has repeatedly been mentioned here as a male criteria (because we all know that most men are "nice" people too, who never hurt women, disparage women, hurt other people, etc. Men are all really "nice.") By nice, men mean that they want a woman who will respect them as the man in the relationship, have no personal baggage or issues, few insecurities (or if you have them, they should be cute, like you blush), and an agreeable disposition.

The fact is, men are just as demanding, exacting, superficial, and vicious as women when it comes to dating.

You're quite the catch.

Seriously, I'm in a group of 12 women - doctors, pharmacists, lawyers, etc. and we can't find any men! We get hit on by married men all the time. Where do we find good men?

You are a dime a dozen in a city crawling with attractive, educated, funny single women. What else do you have to offer?

LOVE this!

Guy here--DC is the best, I see the hottest women everyday in passing. Saw a total 10 on the Metro during AM rush the other day. Never would see types like her in my hometown. DC is full of attractive, fun, successful women. I wouldn't want to be a 30 y/o man anywhere else!

You should venture out to LA. A DC 10 is an LA 1

No not really. The problem with DC women is you see many very good looking ones during the day, but they disappear at night.

Stop trying to find a man as successful as you. I am a successful consulting exec and I married a GS13 scientist. His career will never compete with mine, he has a regular schedule, and has enough free time to plan vacations for us and take care of a lot of stuff around the house. Consider men who are less Type A - you are strong independent women who can support yourselves. You can likely also support a man and 2 kids. Date someone who is interesting and brings fun and adventure to your life. Find someone who can be your rock because his job is not stressful or require long hours. I was so driven in my 20s I thought I could only be happy with someone as driven as I was - and then I realized those men were boring and didn't have time for me - and didn't have time to read books or discover new bands or find funny clips to show me on YouTube. I started dating men with solid 9-5 jobs and college degrees who worked to live instead of living to work. I married one and I couldn't be happier.

Largely because we are at home with our partners

I notice that a lot of DC women require that a man have a college degree from a good school or they will not consider him.

You almost never hear men with this requirement, even those who want LTRs.

Remember, a youngish man with a degree from a good school, who is six feet tall, who is in good shape, who is funny and a has decent personality represents maybe 1-2% of men in this country, and he has a lot of options. Do honestly feel that you are in the top 1-2% of women (from a man's perspective)?

I have a close single friend who is financially set, attractive, cooks, seems to do it all. She is about 50. We've had this conversation and she thinks she has gotten so set in her ways and has become very selective, which is a problem because at her age her options are fewer. There are plenty of available men at this age, but you have to settle for someone divorces, with children, or who is set in their own ways.

Is he happy that you are so driven?
