[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cared when I was dating in my twenties.  
Now, in my 40’s, I’m widowed and kids are nearly grown.  I don’t care at all now.  I just want to meet someone who doesn’t expect too much from me, is good in bed, and knows how to fix stuff.  [/quote]

If you have any sort of assetts you should care, people prey on widows all the time.[/quote]

She doesnt' have to remarry. Finances can be separate. [/quote]

Even if I dont remarry, as a wealthy woman, me carting around a partner who cant carry their half to do what I want to do would mean that that is my money coming out of my kids pockets, someday. That is why I dont need a man who makes more than me, but I need one who can afford my lifestyle, as I am not willing to "sacrifice" doing what I have worked hard for and the lifestyle I enjoy, to live it with a partner. I understand that this makes my dating pool smaller, but it keeps me from wading into a relationships in which inequality and eventual resentments seem like an inevitability.

People act like considering this in ones 40's in a different way that we may have considered it at 20 is odd. It isn't odd. I am not looking to "build a life" with someone, I've already got one and I am attracted to others who have done the same. I want an equal partner who I can build a relationship with who doesnt drain money that I feel belongs to my children, who will always be my first priority, ahead of a partner. [/quote]
