[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP your problem is a vanishingly small percentage of men make over $150k, and they can date women younger and prettier than you. Unless you are in the right circles at the right age, you have to settle for some dork Fed or something. [/quote]

??? I’m in my 30s and live in the DC metro area and I doubt I know a man here who makes less than $150k. [/quote]

Do you mean you don’t DATE such men or you don’t know them? Is that even possible? Don’t you have a hair dresser, a friend who works in a restaurant, any friends who are teachers, any friends who are artists or musicians, any friends who are social workers or nurses etc etc etc?[/quote]

No I mean I don’t know them at all. My hairdresser owns his own salon downtown. I don’t know what his exact salary is but he also lives in my neighborhood so I am sure he does well. I don’t have a friend who works in a restaurant but doesn’t own it. I don’t have any musician friends. Every nurse I know is a woman. The only teachers I know are at the higher ed level (professors or deans). [b]Even my untenured prof friend makes over $150k. [/b]

And NONE of these men think they’re rich or entitled to pretty 20 somethings. Those that are single date women their own age and with similar looks. [/quote]

No, he decidedly does not.[/quote]

+1. There's no way. [/quote]

+2  Not a chance. He does not.

I'm remarried and in my fifties, but even though my primary hairdresser owns her salon downtown too, I go to a second lovely hairdresser who does not own a salon. I have known many brilliant chefs in my life. And musicians, artists, writers, book editors, journalists, etc. And I've known several male nurses.

And Georgetown, Bethesda, CC, and NWDC are filled with teachers. Yes. some are married to wealthy men; others have family money.

As someone who works at a university and has probably been living in this area longer than you, I suggest that you expand your horizons. Gosh, maybe you should get out there and try to meet some writers and musicians. How about joining a running group or trying hot yoga or a Phillips membership? I feel so sorry for you, but you're your own worst enemy.
