[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would you say??

Went to dinner with a longtime female friend who was in town -- we've known each other since law school. She's 42-43 now - single. She did the biglaw thing for 4-5 years post law school and then went to a non profit -- making very little money in NYC -- and no she doesn't come from family money; grew up in Harlem, still lives there now. She is very much into this non profit's mission -- something about rehabilitating ex cons. So in the half dozen or so years that she's been at the non profit, she's very much "looked down" upon the rest of her friend group who she claims is "selling out" for the money by doing jobs they aren't passionate about -- firms; in house; trade associations; govt. IMO unless you have family wealth, if you have a job offer someplace you're passionate about vs. one that you like just fine that pays 2x/3x as much -- you take the one that pays; that's the nature of work for me.

So for someone who claims money does/should NOT matter, the last few times we've gone out, I've noticed she spends a LOT of time talking about rich older men and how they are soooo interested in her, find her soooo attractive.[b] I realize at 42, there are people who date 48 yr olds or 52 yr olds or whatever.[/b] Yet she's talking about 65 year old cardiologists, surgeons and construction company owners and law firm partners in NYC who are loaded. As if it's normal to date/try to date someone who is nearly your father's age. What would you say, if anything?? If money doesn't matter at all, then why chase old men with money?? Or if it does matter, why not move on from the non profit and try to make more money yourself?[/quote]

Why is it your business? She is old herself for the dating market at 42-43. That is where they do best, at 42-43 a woman doesnt have the age range for serious dating a man does. Just the  way it is. [/quote]
