[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 48 and married my HS sweetheart.  When we started dating in HS he made $3.25/hr.  So did I.  We are now divorced but each of us makes over $500K.  When I date, I’m looking for my equal in financial stability, place in life with kids (ours are in HS), and job security.

I’m not looking to date someone that is broke from their divorce, has elem age children, or is seeking a change in life career.  [/quote]

You are looking for a unicorn.  You’re 48 and looking to snag a single guy making $500k?[/quote]

Lol.  No.  Actually I would prefer that he is divorced and his children grown.  I’m probably 10-15 yrs from grandchildren and I want the person I’m dating to understand the importance of that.  I don’t want to be talking about visiting my daughter and her first child while he is dealing with college visits.  As I said, I want him to be at the same point in his life as I am.[/quote]

You missed the point. Single, late 40s men making mid six figures are in no way shape or form shopping for late 40s women. I promise. I'm one of them. I've been married and had kids. They are almost off to college. I'm not looking to pick up a hitch hiker or start a family. I will churn and burn my way through late twenties women all day long. What in the world would I want with a divorced 50 year old hag?[/quote]

Well if you think of me as a hag because I’m almost 50, then no, I guess you don’t want to date me.  I’ve dated mid 20 boy toys and they’re fun for about 3 dates, some sex, and absolutely no conversation.  We have nothing in common.  They cannot relate to major events of my life, how it is to have kids, worries about your kids not being home by 1 and being able to drive.  They don’t relate to aging parents.

I suppose if all I wanted was sex and arm candy it would be fine but that’s not what I’m looking for.  I’m sure there are more men like you that don’t care about being able to relate to their date as long as she looks hot and I’d rather be single than settle for something less than I’m looking for.  If that means I’m single till I die, I’d take that over meaningless sex any day. [/quote]
