Single at 29 - Are all the rich guys taken?

[Anonymous]

What do you mean rich?

Yes, at 29 there are some reasonably high earners that have broken up with their law school/b-school/med school girlfriends. However, those guys are not looking to settle down for the most part. So in the “supply” side yes there are some but they’re not plentiful.

Now on the demand side…29 is not that old. But what do you bring to the table? Are you a 29 year old with an interesting career and good social and family connections or are you mostly average? Because if the latter, the likelihood that you will find a wealthy man without other baggage is slimmer, and reduces in likelihood the higher you define “rich”.

I took one of the rich guys when I was 22. Sorry.

The older guys can get that without marrying you. Check out Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.

This, but I am not a fan of skinny.

yeah, what do you mean by rich OP? Is a single guy in his early/mid 30's making 300-500k w/ a 1M portfolio rich, or do you mean a high powered lawyer pulling 7 figures and worth 8 figures or more?

People, please stop feeding the trolls. Some version of this post comes up almost every month, if not more often, and it somehow garners pages and pages of responses, for reasons I cannot fully understand. SMDH.

I don’t think it is trolls. A lot of women are looking for this

I do wonder about the single 20somethings posting to DCUM.

This is statistically untrue and born out by statistics to be false. Google “assortive mating”. Men are not marrying baristas who happen to be slim, kind and pretty and you are deluding yourself if you think they are.

I met a lot of wealthy and wonderful men while dating at 29 a few years ago - mostly in apps. They are usually attracted to beautiful, intelligent, and down to earth women (at least in my case). While I had fun, I ended up marrying the least wealthy man I dated (fed) because of his awesome personality and good looks.

Have you given any thought to how you might earn your own money and learn how to smartly invest it? This will give you the independence you need for life to make smart men choices.

This is ridiculous. You must be over 50. No one cares if a woman bakes. My ex-h attorney had a salary requirement for a wife. He could have cared less about domestic skills that can be hired out. Most men want equals. Not SAHM bakers.

Men want the hottest woman they can get. No one cares about baking and how much money she makes.

Who is looking to settle down? What age group should I be looking at?

I think that is true for dating...but not necessarily marriage. A lot of men are more practical than you think. They want hot plus someone who earns something and won't burn through their money if they marry them.

New flash: no woman wants to marry someone living pay check to paycheck. Women that want a family universally
want a spouse that can provide enough financial stability to give them the choice of career flexibility and option to stay home for a time if needed or wanted

Why can't women do that by themselves?

Many of us do.

Please don't judge my whole gender by this poster.
