[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you seem to despise women your age for doing precisely what you did. Put yourself and your desires (a new career) ahead of a relationship. You're mid-30s and you're "open" to a relationship now? It really amazes me that I come across men 5-10 years younger than men such as yourself who seem to know what they want and close the deal and minus the vitriol towards women. I don't know if you were passed over for the hot guy when you were younger or cheated on in the past, but something about your tone seems hostile/bitter. I mean no snark and hope that it's a misinterpretation.

I dont "despise" anyone.  As for bitterness, there seemed to be a bit in your assertion that women in their mid to late 30s are still single mainly because men want to act like fratboys.  Come on.  The issue is - why did they not get locked down when they were hotter and probably more fun,  like many other women did?  I havenothing against mid 30s women or dating them (though prefer late 20's to early 30's for long term).  My change in career took a few years of school, which is probably a significant reason im single at 35.  If a woman did the same thing, thats not something im disrespecting.  However, a woman prioritizing career (and probably lots of partying and vacations) over relationships in her 20's is a red flag for many guys.  Career/financial status is much more important in a man than in a woman.  Smart men like myself dont want a dumb woman, but how much she makes isnt that important.  As a man, job/financial status are incredibly important, and my career change was worth it.

And I am actively looking to "settle down".  Im not just open to it.  Of course, i wont just marry anyone, it has to be the right person.  You seem to have an attitude that somehow a mid 30s guy and you are in different situations, when i think most people would agree we are in similar situatuons.  Men mature later and women's biological clock ticks faster.  As for wondering why 27 year olds seem to be ready to commit more than some older people, well, i could ask you the same thing...

Point is, unless you want to be a sad cougar and i want to be that creepy 45 year old in the club, we should both get to work!  Have a good weekend.[/quote]
