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.

Sorry, OP, but you are no longer in fashion - http://nypost.com/2017/04/12/why-hot-people-arent-worth-dating/

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.

But will she meet a man that makes $150K?

Hey Op, don't be afraid to have dinner by yourself at a bar. Yes, sit at the bar by yourself and order a nice burger or whatever and a glass of wine. Lots of nice singles at the bars in this area. You have to get our more and change your environment.

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.

Riiggghhht. . . and how's that search going for you, PP?

Eh, that's a nice way to be a business traveler's side piece...not somebody's spouse.

She will meet the right man for her, and that is what matters.

Did you read the thread, PP? OP made it clear she is only interested in men that make $150k plus.

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?

And the odds are they will be divorced by their forties and bitter, who cares? It's about you, not them. Move on and ignore idots like this np, don't let her get you angry. Anger is not your friend and will not look attractive to anyone.

Neither do gold-diggers.

And again, if she simply looked for a man of character and quality, and dropped the gold digging crap that goes on in DMV, she will meet that special one. I'm betting companionship and compatibility will be much more important to Op if she met the right person for her.

Damn straight. Everyone knows rich men adore women who like cats.

If a man wants you long term he will make friends with the cat or dog, lol. She either puts off the men because she is trying too hard or comes across as superficial.

OP don't be so picky, that may be the big problem here. My hair stylist was like you. Dated all kinds of guys that weren't that great, but were attractive. The lawyer treated her well and her daughter, but she wasn't physically as attracted. I told her to snatch him up, he was a keeper. They are married and having their 2nd child now.

The funny thing is, a highly intelligent post-doc PhD dissertation fellow would probably be making less than $35k today, but have decent career prospects down the road. Not good enough for OP, I guess. The truth of the matter is that you need to find the person who is kind, generous and loves you. After that, income is based on chance and luck. But if you are mutually supportive of each other, together you each go further in your careers than you could possible do alone.

Honestly, I think a man of character and quality can spot a superficial woman a mile away.

Whatever happened to going out one ordinary day and by chance meeting a person with whom you have great chemistry, with whom you want to spend time and get to know, and let the relationship grow naturally? Instead of looking for a guy of a certain profile. I love the magical romance of meeting a handsome, intriguing stranger by chance and then having great times together. But from my experience, none of the wonderful strangers fit tidy boxes or looked perfect on paper.

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

Is this OP? If so, there's probably a good reason you are still single.

And will hit 44 by the time she's done making the perfect the enemy of the good. Open your eyes to guys who make $135K!

So, I'm 35 and my base salary exceeds OP's income requirement by over 6 figures. But I'm married and have two kids. My two best friends also meet the income threshold (banking and medicine, respectively) but they too are married. Oddly enough, we all married our college girlfriends.

OP is trying to shoot a really narrow gap in terms of men she's looking for. They exist. But the reality is guys earning that salary at that age are mostly already hitched. So she's really looking for a narrow subset of men and I would offer up that an attractive single mid-30s guy making that type of salary is not heading into a serious relationship any time soon.

OP's best bet are probably senior associates in big law.
