Right here. Want to go out? PM me a photo and I'll get back to you.

But, PP, what do you make? Because that's at the top of OP's list of requirements.

Common sense?

A good catch:

- Well rounded guy who comes from a good family
- Has a respectable career earning a decent living = 150k+
- Kind and generous
- Has interest and hobbies
- A good member of society


The 30 + single guys I know are either:

- Workaholics who have deep personality or commitment issues
- Loser underachievers who have low self esteem and will not amount to much

What do the two bold parts have anything to do with being a good catch or not unless you are looking for (you fill in the blank)

Do you think a guy who comes with an abusive or dysfunctional family and have them be your in laws is a valid arrangement? Do you want an ignorant grandmother for your kids or an alcoholic grandfather for them?

Do you really think a guy earning 50k at a think tank is a catch?

First, I guess you and I are thinking of two extremes in terms of "good family". I thought when saying good family = wealthy family based on the 150k requirement. Mea culpa. However, not being from a good family should not be a disqualifier, especially if the guy has all the other traits. This means he has the grit and discipline to be such a great guy despite having grown up in a dysfunctional family, and that only says more of his positive character more than anything else.

Second, the difference between 150k and 50k is stark. Anybody with some career ambition in the DC area will have a decent income, but that doesn't mean a 150k salary. If, for example, he is a fed employee, that'll mean he has to be near the top max payscale.

I just want to put a plug in for all of the single ladies out there to vet the family first. My DH exactly fits your bolded description and yes, we have persevered and have an awesome life, but it is no walk in the park dealing with a dysfunctional, good-for-nothing family, believe me.

This is OP.

The bad family is precisely why I broke up with my ex. We had issues but the crazy family bit was the nail in the coffin. The problem with this is that unless the person is extremely self aware and mature, he can be desensitized to a lot of crazy abnormal toxic behavior rampant in his family. I do not want to raise a family with someone who thinks having a smothering ignorant toxic mother is normal. Nor did I want my children to hear there grandfather get drunk and say irresponsible and mean things about minorities and the poor.

I'm sorry I just...couldn't. My number 1 requirement is that my children, if I should have some, grown up in a safe loving and enriching home with kind intelligent people.

I agree but if he is great in all other aspects and those people live in another state or he's willing to move...it might work. If you want to have kids you need to be somewhat flexible.

You think $150k+ a "decent" living. Your expectations are clearly out of whack.

Why don't you post a photo of yourself in this thread so we can determine whether you are not only worthy of a man making $150k but if you are capable of snagging one.

We'll be waiting.

I am a size 2, fit petite brunette who gets told she looks 25 and resembles Eva Longoria all the time. I love hiking, cats and lifting. I am great with children (neighborhood babysitter growing up) and have a Philosophy degree from Bryn Mawr. I do not earn a very good living and make 60k in fundraising. I do not think my requirements are outlandish. Everyone I know is married to guys with a similar profile.

Everyone but you.

They found their husbands in their twenties. Lucky that it worked out. It did not for me. Want to rub it in?

It seems all the good catches are snagged up.

The ones left in the singles market are playboys or losers.

Or are you that Sonali chic, interested in “superballer” men with high-paying careers?

[Anonymous]

So how do you know that a man makes over $150k?

Being boastful about her looks is what OP put in the first sentence; and criticizing a man's income of 50k while earning only 60k. Those two sentences are indicative of the kind of men she wants to attract.

I'm a man with plenty of single friends in their 30s. No way any of them would go for someone with all your requirements.

Wow, aren't you the nasty woman! Op, you are just fine and you sound wonderful. Don't listen to these angry old B's on this site, get out there and socialize, socialize, socialize. You life weights, why aren't you at some of the cross fit classes in the area, lots of great guys there who would have the same fitness interest you have. Also, try volunteering at some local pet shelters and as a volunteer at some of the marathon events that going on in this area. You will meet like minded people. Just put yourself out there.

Then you are as superficial as your friends, who will be bald and divorced twice over before you know it. Op, obviously this fool and his friend group are not the guys you want to date. Move on, plenty more.

28 y/o F here

I anticipate that I will make 150k by my early 30s (career trajectory). Would be totally fine with a guy with a decent job (e.g. teacher, professor, non profit work, etc) making 50k plus, but the tradeoff would be that his career would have to take a back seat to mine (e.g. he has more flexible schedule, stays home w kids, etc) in the future.
