[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe this was mentioned but I didn't see it...I'm curious to know if OP has children (and if so many how many and how old), what she looks like (height, weight, skin, hair, etc...), and what she does and how much money she makes. And that's assuming these are high value guys....

OP here. I have kids in elementary school but I do not see how that is relevant: dating and kids are separate. 
I look younger than my age and have a nice body. I do not know why my salary is relevant but around 175-200 depending on the year.
All men who asked me out for Sat night have  graduate degrees (engineer, doctor, lawyer/entrepreneur and tech). None are divorced.[/quote]

Hahahaha!

Yeah.

So.

OP...this is amazing for you, but you are attractive, look young for your age, make a good salary, and either seem to have a co-parent in the picture to make the kids "not relevant" or be able to afford a babysitter or baby-sitters to do the same.

So, yeah. You have options.

Why is it hard to understand that is not the case for most women in their 40s?[/quote]

Is it that unusual? A woman with a well paid job is not that unusual anymore. And divorces when both partners are similar earning capacity tend to be easier than when there is an imbalance where one person has very little earning capacity. OP is definitely a catch but I don’t think she is a unicorn [/quote]

+1 OP here. I am not a unicorn. Other women just like me exist. People just get understand it because they are trapped in a time warp. Most of my friends were always equal earners to their husbands or ex-husbands. It is not that rare at all.[/quote]

Sorry, I haven't seen it. Not among college or grad school friends, or among neighbors or co-workers. My ex-wife had 2 PhDs and I still made 50 percent more than she did. [/quote]

DP.

Your statement does not mean much.

So your ex wife makes 100k and you make 150K? You are equal earners. 
Your ex wife makes 150K and you make 225K? You are equal earners.  
Your ex wife makes 200K and you make 300k? You are equal earners.

You get the jist. None of this women should struggle financially. The children might no longer live in the mansion in Bethesda/McClean, But they are not struggling financially to the point where it will affect their dating options. All else being equal (attractiveness, personality etc), they should have similar dating options to OP.[/quote]
