You are omitting pertinent facts provided by OP. OP stated that the dad is a parent of a newborn. This parent of less than 30 days cannot stay out of a bar for happy hour? And OP wants a man like this?

You keep saying this like it is fact. My understanding is a newborn is any child 3 months or younger. In any case, the word isnused colloquially for any young baby. Unless the OP can give us a more exact age, I don't think we can judge the morality of going to HH with a 3 week, or a 3 month, baby at home.

Honestly guys are not going to school as much as they were in the late 80s, women are outpacing men as far as education so it makes dating harder for this generation. My daughters feel your pain

All my friends that met in college are divorced.

It's not hard to find an educated and good man in this generation. Those that claim they can't should look at their own flaws first.

Although I met my DH in college about half of my friends who met then are divorced. My ILs also met in college and have a terrible relationship (physical/emotional abuse, infidelity, etc) and I wish they were divorced.

I was honestly surprised to find such any level headed mature and put together 25 year old.

[b]I grew up in the policy/think tank world[b] and the 25-26 year olds I hung out with were so far away from baby house wife at 25. Let alone a lucrative career!

She uses the word 'learnt' - she grew up in a trailer park, so...

A wealth adviser that is 25 years old was 16 during the great recession. He has never directly felt the impact of a severe economic down turn. I met one the other day (20 something) advising me to put all my assets in high growth stocks. Um...no. I have lived through several mild down turns and 3 severe ones ('73, '82, and '08).

I'm a mom, and I think I went to happy hour when my kid was about a week old. My parents were visiting and I'd been cooped up alone with the baby for a solid week and couldn't wait to see my friends and have adult conversations and an adult beverage. So I wouldn't be too harsh on him for being out when he had a baby at home.

As for the rest... yawn. There is a wide range of maturity at 25. Some guys are ready for marriage and babies at 25. Many are not. Some guys (and women) need a little seasoning before they're ready for that stuff.

Early marriages fail more. That said, no one, and I mean no one, should expect to find the good stuff after age 35. They are all taken.

Married with a kid at 25? Probably religious/conservative.

so he's a wealth advisor at the ripe age of 25...hmmm, how much as he invested and how much has he made in the market? or does he just peddle the crap that the real analysts, who are much higher up in the firm, produce? he's a snake oil salesman.

he is not making anything remotely close to "big bucks". It's perhaps not that shocking that you're stupid enough to buy into his BS.

oh, by the way, with a new born at home, what's he doing at a happy hour?

yours truly,
very happily married 45 y.o. dad of 3 with a net worth of ~5 million

Depends on how you look and if you are dating younger.

This friend 25 years old, very good looking and carries himself with an easy confidence of a 32 year old. He makes eye contact and speaks with the kind of confidence and self assuredness that that many of my 30somethibg male peers lack! I learnt that he was already married for a few years and had a new born at home. He is also a wealth advisor.

As I walked home I was impressed with whoever his wife was and how she managed find,marry him and make him her baby daddy all before age 25!

LOL
Young and immature you sound. You didn't know a thing about them or their problems.
