[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank goodness I'm married. After reading DCUM posts, I don't think I could handle the modern dating world.

I fell in love at 19. I had no clue what my future DH would ultimately earn, nor did I care. Fast forward 25+ years, and I out-earn him by $100k. NBD. I value him for the kind husband, father, and person he is. And, he's only 5'8" to boot.

I don't mean to be harsh, OP, but your checklist will prevent you from finding a partner. I have to wonder if you even really want a new partner given the barriers you are throwing up. Why do you really want a partner? Do you even want to remarry someday? Do you truly want to build a marriage and blended family with someone new?

It seems like you need to eliminate anyone who wants their own kids since you can't provide that. That leaves you with men who don't want their own kids but will tolerate your kids (assuming you eventually want to incorporate him into your family life...but perhaps you don't). Maybe you really just want a very independent boyfriend who will hang out and travel with you when you don't have the kids? Try to find someone who values independence then.

And remember: if you have criteria, so do they. An aging woman with kids, an ex, and strong expectations about income likely isn't going to be a catch.[/quote]

Did you even read OP's post? She's happy to date divorced me who have children. She just doesn't want to have more children herself.[/quote]

Wealthy divorced men with kids are on the hook to support their ex and children. It’s doubtful they will invest in her family or meet her post-alimony/child support requirements. She’s looking for a unicorn.

Her best bet is a wealthy man-child. [/quote]

A guy who makes $250k/ yr isn’t wealthy. He’s doing fine. He’s not a baller though let’s calm down. [/quote]
