[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m baffled by this whole thread and the overwhelming agreement that an employed, functional man is so rare.

I am a mid 50s divorced dad of two teenaged daughters with shared custody. I am employed and pretty well compensated while being actively involved in every aspect of both daughters lives.

I’m not perfect and I am always looking to do better. I don’t expect perfection in any partner.

I don’t know if this applies to another generation or not but I don’t believe I am a rare case.

What I have found in trying to date at this stage is many women who are always looking for something better. I’m sure women will say that applies to most men and it’s probably not a gender thing.

Not everyone is a good fit. But I have found so many people searching for that magic chemistry and dismissing people while complaining good men don’t exist or are rare. Relationships should be built and not be spontaneous with a stranger in a two hour interaction. [/quote]
Agree.  My DH is pretty great. Obviously, not perfect (neither am I), and there are things that annoy me about him, but generally, he's great.

He's not bad looking, but he's never had a great body. He has two of the three 6s -- 6ft+ and made six figures when I met him.   We've been married for 20+ years.  We've had our share of fights and annoyances, but IMO, our marriage is still pretty strong.  The passion faded a while ago, but we are committed to each other and our marriage and family.

Women who seek the "perfect guy" will always be disillusioned.[/quote]
