[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most men want a soft woman. Fit, feminine, friendly. Cooperative instead of competitive at home. They don't want a spreadsheet with arms and legs barking orders off the clock. They want a warm human being with empathy and kindness who can put her work away. A good man really doesn't care about your money, because it isn't his money. He knows that his money would be your money but your money wouldn't be his mone in a marriage. So when you talk about your money, it means absolutely nothing to him. He views your career as an impediment to spending real time together, not as a positive selling point.[/quote]

As a guy this 100% correct. When I hear own you own firm and heavily invested in your career, I hear a lot less weekends away and minimal if any longer vacations.[/quote]

OP here. Actually, yes, I am available for weekends away and longer vacations. As a business owner, one of my main goals has been to staff up to the level that minimizes my day-to-day involvement in organizational matters. Calls with important clients I can handle from anywhere.

When my kids were still at home we spent at least six weeks per year in Europe.

So, PP, it's sad that you would rule me out just by reading my profession.[/quote]

OP, I am a woman but you don't want your profile to read like a business resume.  I agree with the prior poster that many would interpret that you have an exceptionally demanding career.  A lot of men who are still working will screen you out for this and thus you are getting matched with the old, retired duds.  MODIFY your profile.  Your goal is to meet men.  You can let your business interests unfold gradually upon meeting the men and I'd still keep it simple on the first date. You don't need to share your P&L on your first date.

Your goal is to meet fit men who are still working and are close to you in age.  Modify your profile to eliminate the advanced degrees and the business talk.  No one cares about your degrees when you are 50.[/quote]
