I am 38 and I have more friends that are single than married. For most of them their current girlfriends or the ones they have dated in the past have or have had better career than them.

Men drop out of the dating market if they are not happy in their career. Unfortunately we see a very disturbing trend among men between 30 and 45. They are chronically underemployed, have substance abuse issues, and in poor physical and mental shape
And they have significantly less friends than men their peers in the past. Career satisfaction is really important for a man's ego. If he feels that he has been a failure career wise, he is very unlikely to enter the dating market. So women are waiting for men that don't exist today and that will probably not exist tomorrow either.

I think a lot of women will sadly end up single forever. Not because they are picky or not trying hard enough, but because there are simply not enough qiality men to choose from.

Now I am sure you have taken stats 101, so.if you are the exception I am not talking about you. You are an outlier.

It's funny that as I'm reading this, I'm wishing I was one of those ladies who never got married. Marriage sucks badly for women. Like really badly. I was so much better off emotionally, financially, in every way before I let DH put a ring on it and suck the joy from me. The marriage rate is going to get a lot lower because there's just very little in it for a woman who has her shit together.

Ill probably surprised some of you with my comments but you are right. We have a daughter who is in college. While I think myself as a great husband, I am aware of my shortcomings. And if my daughter's choice is to marry a man like me she is better of staying single. I say this because after many years I now realize how much DW has been the one keeping the marriage alive. There are fantastic husbands our there who put in equal efforts, but I don't know if they are the majority though.

So, you're aware that you're a shitty husband dragging down the team, but you have no intention of doing anything beyond continuing as you have. How do men like you feel no shame? It's a serious question because my ex was a shamelessly selfish idiot too and I always thought to myself that if I were him, my conscience wouldn't let me be such a user. But he felt perfectly good about himself.

Calm down lady. You have a lot anger in you. He was self reflecting and is probably doing the work and realizing he still needs to keep improving. Can you imagine if every husband self reflected? Wow.

Good for PP for self-reflection. Women like above are actually not appreciating enough when men do the progress and they stay angry and bitter forever.

Where in his post did you see anything in his post that suggests he's making "progress"? Or are your standards so low that you think a man who admits he's a poor choice deserves applause for not lying?

You move in different circles that these posters. The women on here make good income and have good careers.

The women I went to undergrad with make around 200K. The women I went to professional school with make 250+. No one will go broke in this circle, single or married.

My aunt who is a single mom by choice makes 150k and bought a townhouse in the exurbs for 400K, and she lives very well and has consistently saved for retirement. She is not going to be broke. One of her kids got a full scholarship to college, and the other will go to a state school for 12K a year.

The only person in my circle who risks going broke was a stay at home mom, and her DH found it difficult to recover from the 2008 financial crisis. They lost their house when he lost his job and have struggled to recover since then. If they divorce ( they are not planning to), she and her DH will struggle as they don't have much.

No I don't. My DH and I have more money than anyone on this board. I'm in Old Town Alexandria. These women were mostly SAHMs to men that make 5M +. The women were all highly educated but they either took charity board roles or dabbled in politics while the husbands funded their 1% lifestyles. They have beach houses, Range Rovers, summers in Spain, kids at expensive and worthless SLACs.

Broke is a concept with theses women, not a literal definition. They will need to downsize to a $600,000 TH in Annandale but they wont really ever have to work.

Respectfully, no you do not sound like you do. None of this is that irregular or impressive.

Uber wealthy people in dmv don't live in Old Town Alexandria. They live in Forest Hills, Cleveland Park. Georgetown, some of CC and Bethesda, and parts of McLean

You have no idea what you’re talking about. There is plenty of money in Old Town.

Theres more money in Old Town than all the other places combined. PP is clueless. Cleveland Park? LOL.

Np

Staying single rather than settle - especially if children are a consideration - needs to be widespread.

Apparently you do not know many folks age 50 and above who are single. They complain of loneliness. Better to have a companion than to suffer through a lonely life.

DP.

Apples and oranges.

Those are totally different generations raised with the idea that a woman needs a man to be complete.

Although...when I think about it, I've known and currently know a lot of divorced 50+ women from different walks of life.

Excellent writing! You are making me lol!! What you say is true!
-Woman married to a man

Not one has ever expressed anything except ruefulness and, often, disdain for marriage.

Some miss financial stability. Others hate that their ex got away with doing less parenting. A couple are annoyed they wasted their prime dealing with shitty married sex.

However, not a single one has said they miss being married or want to be married again.

Maybe things are different for older men because men typically enter marriage to siphon benefits.

I can see how it would suck for such a lopsided arrangement in their favor to end.

A woman who is single (not divorced) at that age is finally willing to settle for a man who checks the majority of boxes, but isn’t perfect. They are the female equivalent of a man child- self centered, critical and looking for someone to meet the needs they delayed for years. Most are not great partners, but are very successful and can be great people to hang out with as friends.

Close, but not quite. The males are looking for someone to exploit for sex and live-in maid services. The women are typically looking to have kids and tolerating the man is just a necessary evil to accomplish that.

PP here. I was not even addressing the men, since the post was about the amazing women in the marketplace. In the age range he is referencing the men are either not relationship focused (sex), chasing mommy (maid/caretaker) or a great guy looking for the relationship he missed out on due to choosing poorly or death in their first marriage.

If you are actually looking to have your first kid around 40, that is a tough road to walk. Complete upheaval of your life where you become last on the priority list after 40 years of being the only priority is a recipe for depression and anger. Obviously just my opinion, but I believe that would put me in a bit of a tailspin.

Women can artificially inseminate without voluntarily taking on a dependent adult.

It's these sort of unforced errors that contribute to the pay gap.

500K was cited on a page of a real estate agency so it probably included online nearest to DC most expensive zip codes.

But I stand by my data that Old Town Alexandra is much less affluent on average- by your own data source it's half HH vs CC:

So please, go and educated yourself where the wealthiest people in the US live in DMV area. For example, check in property database who lives near this billionaire who was a long time resident of Forest Hills and entertained the presidents at his mansion:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/reliable-source/wp/2015/10/15/billionaire-bob-johnson-sells-off-a-portion-of-his-forest-hills-property/

Also, check where Hollywood celebrities buy houses - this is in Georgetown and not in Old Town.

Old Town is nice but the rich people who buy there are largely high level managers

Please. Like there are tons of guys lining up to date the unemployed fat woman living with her parents.

Men only see winners. Women who don’t meet their standards are completely invisible.

What makes a woman a "winner"?

Quiet

Likes to cook, clean, take care of me and the house.
Leaves me alone.

Not even a partner, just a bed wench who cooks. THIS is why single women are staying single. Why would anyone with a life choose this?

Again, it depends on which zip codes you included. According to this source it's $315,000. Ex wives of all hedge fund managers go live in Chevy Chase or McLean. They don't buy houses in Old Town Alexandria

Hedge fund managers? This isn't Connecticut. You're not helping yourself.

So please, go and educated yourself where the wealthiest people in the US live in DMV area. For example, check in property database who lives near this billionaire who was a long time resident of Forest Hills and entertained the presidents at his mansion:

Also, check where Hollywood celebrities buy houses - this is in Georgetown and not in Old Town.

Old Town is nice but the rich people who buy there are largely high level managers

Waiting for the hedge fund manager, oh expert on all things D.C. wealth.
