There are a lot of single women looking

[Anonymous]

So...are the single women still looking?

I was very surprised by the huge number of single women in this age bracket. Of course, it doesn't mean I am who they are looking for and it's probably more likely than I am not. But I went through a lot of well put together profiles and I am just surprised all these women are single. Yes there are probably more women than men in this age group, but it's as if all of them are single.

If I were to lower my age range to 30, it's probably going to be a similar story. But 10 years age gap is the most I'll go for as I am looking beyond just hooking up.

So guys out there who are single and looking, you have choices.

People in their 30s, 40s, and 50s are single for all sorts of reasons.

In the app world, just be clear about what you want. If you want to fall in love and find a life partner, make that the goal and be discerning. But if you want to sleep around, go for it.

If you are attractive and fit and a good dude and make a good living, there are a gazillion options in a metropolitan area of 7 million people. But every person is an individual and whether you feel something for them and want to pursue things is dependent on your headspace.

The recently divorced guy is usually either incredibly passionate - or divorced for good reasons.

If you travel for work, you can date in each city. Apps are great that wayS

The thing is, we are on to you and your excuses. We are onto your long periods of going incommunicado. Those stories! We are also onto you when you try to make yourself “indispensable.”

It’s good to train yourself on how to recognize the conman.

Some of the conmen WILL TALK to you about “how you have to be careful of conmen.”

Never should have banned polygamy.

Speaking of someone from polygamous country, I always giggle when men say this. In polygamy, the topmost fifth or sixth of men have multiple wives.

The bottom half (literally half) of men have no wives.

The men in the middle who are not quite top-tier each have one wife.

Every now and then, that one wife married to a middling man sees a chance to be a wealthy man's second or third wife and leaves with her children to do just that. It's also not unusual for a man to end up raising a child quietly fathered by a wealthy man. He deals with it because if he doesn't, his wife will leave with the kids and just go ahead and be that wealthier boyfriend newest wife. He won't be able to find a new wife easily because there are major financial startup costs in polygamous societies to taking a new wife. Women don't just come cheap for some stupid ring the way they do over here. If he shuts up, however, then the wealthy man will kick him some cash for the use of his wife.

Honestly, I married an American and it was an error. If this was my birth country, I would've left my husband to be a very wealthy man's third wife in a heartbeat. I wouldn't even have to have sex with my new husband all that often because the other wives would share that rotation. If he nagged me too often, I'd just find him another wife to distract him and keep enjoying his money.

Polygamy is actually a very good deal for women from a financial and hypergamy standpoint, contrary to what western countries claim. It's only when to bring in things like "love," morality and how Jesus wants monogamy that the case is made that women "suffer."

I believe that’s called being a white knight.

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.

According to official statistics, average HH income in Old Town Alexandria is $113K. Average household income in Chevy Chase is one of the highest in the country at 500K

Not sure why would uber wealthy people live in lower income area

If you're gonna lie, try to do it well. HHI in Chevy chase isn't even $220,000

https://datausa.io/profile/geo/chevy-chase-md/

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

https://www.zoomprospector.com/communities/md/city/chevy-chase/2416620

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:

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

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

I just know where truly wealthy people live in dmv as I deal with RE they buy and sell all the time

You do realize that many women date cross states, too, right ?

I say this all the time, and people think I am crazy.

With polygamy, the women who are single here would have been married. The bottom men would still be single either way while more women would be married.

And working women will not be at a financial disadvantage in polygamy, because women get to keep their assets and their income earned in the marriage while men get to share theirs with all the wives.

I could use a co-wife who loves cooking

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?

accepting your mistakes is a very good start and work half done. There is no change if you wouldn't take accountability.

I wrote that, and I am not a girl boss. I was partially kidding -- I couldn't do polygamy unless the second wife had a very low sex drive and did not want children. I come from a country with polygamy, and the step/half sibling/children thing sucks. And with my sex drive, I don't see how I will be getting enough if I had to share unless the man was a dog.
