Not helpful. Op, never compromise it just brings dummies like PP.

I'm the dummy again.

Depends on what you're compromising on.

Able to keep steady employment and avoid alcohol/drug abuse? Sure, don't compromise on that. Yeah, and not being 300 pounds, or avoiding planning a marriage after a good first date helps.

Has to be over 6', have a full head of hair, a 30" waistline, and have near-perfect match in hobbies/interests? Yeah, might be time to ratchet down those expectations.

So the "unless you've managed to keep your body" wasn't passive aggressive reference to her looks? BS.

I think your advice is excellent--also, you sound like you have sound judgment and a great sense of humor!

I'm going to Cafe Milano to see if I can meet anyone at the bar who's into fly fishing.

[Anonymous]

I havea single guy friend, age 39, loves fly fishing and baseball. Never married. Gonna tell him to go to Cafe Milano!

The bar at Bourbon in the Four Seasons has a lot of 30's/40's attractive men - and it's a really happening place for happy hours. Went with DH and some of his friends a few weeks ago - lotttts of good-looking, well-dressed men.

[Anonymous]

There's probably something really wrong with a never married, single guy in his mid-30s and older than a woman with these same stats. Because this is a man's world and if you're that old and haven't been able to commit, that's really saying something.

[Anonymous]

Um, have you graduted from high-school?

In case you haven't noticed, a lot of men in urban areas such as DC and NYC work hard and devote a lot of time to successful careers in their 30's. A lot of our male friends have done this, and once they've established themselves seem to really want to settle down - usually in mid-late 30's. There are TONS of singles in their 30's and even 40's in this area.

[Anonymous]

They need successful careers to be able to attract a partner? Do they not have qualities besides money that would make it happen?

[Anonymous]

You missed my point entirely. They often spend their 30's focusing on their career - ie: don't have the time or will to go out "attracting" partners. It's a choice.

[Anonymous]

They are giving up their best breeding years to establish a career? It is human nature to want to produce the strongest, fittest offspring. Waiting that late in life is not a good idea. That used to be said only to apply to women but we know it also applies to men.
