Thats what strikes you as gross? Not the “average attractiveness”? You’re gross. |
You are. |
| Who cares what her salary is? |
| So the question is, would a guy want to deal with the emotional and financial toll of IVF or adoption? |
Is that you Al Bundy? |
| Not a man, but if the tables were turned, I would not date a man who wasn't able to have children. I don't care about all the other stuff listed. |
Very unlikely. When people hedge with "medical field," it's almost never an actual medical degree. I'm guessing ... nursing anesthesia.
|
Op here. You guessed she is a nurse anesthetist (we both are), not a doctor. |
| Is she hot? Does she enjoy sex? Is she fun to hang out with? Does she make him feel loved and respected? That's what really matters to most to men. People will deny it, but it's just the way men are wired. I have brothers. I worked in a mostly male dominated field for most of my life. The majority of my closet friends are male. And I've been married 28 years. I listen to men talk. We really haven't come nearly as far as we would like to believe. Being able to make money, being able to have kids, etc is just icing. Good, but not required. |
Uh, yeah. Why would a man want you around for your money. He would want you around for you. Why would men change? |
Yes...I'm fit, divorced and have a kid...don't want another. So absolutely. And income is irrelevant as long as she's attractive, fun, good personality and sexual. |
| Op here. She wants kids so men who don't want any is a deal breaker. I'm a biased but she's pretty, good personality, funny, kind, good manners, and wonderful with kids. She has been very sexual with past boyfriends but doesn't sleep around. |
Yes, I did. I'm also pretty sure a nurse anesthetist involved in this question -- one way or another -- is the central subject of several other threads about the same basic topic -- "would you guys date me?" I don't think there is any answer big enough to fill that hole of insecurity. I think the insecurity is what poses the biggest impediment to romantic happiness, not 1. age 2. current salary 3. future salary 4. reproductive options 5. amount of time she will spend studying 6. how long it takes her to file her nails 7. or literally any other quality that is going to show up in the next three threads about her It's the insecurity and the apparently compulsive need to start threads about it. |
Op here. I didn't write any of those threads. I looked back at them and the op is a pharmacist, not a nurse. She also did not mention anything about infertility. The other threads are from an older women with children, and a man. I am asking based on my friend who doesn't ever go on here. I am very secure with myself, and happily married to a great man! I don't need to sit on here and ask countless questions that are irrelevant to me. |
Fair enough. You may not have seen the threads I saw -- but there is a reason why I mentioned nurse anesthesia, and it's because those threads evolved into this as her identified goal. The evolved over time, as she kept asking the same basic question, over and over. Hope she finds peace, a happy partnership, and that she doesn't need to keep asking, eventually. |
