[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You being broke is not the issue. All of your baggage is an issue. You are 46 years old, you have a failed marriage, you don’t have your kids full time, you live in an apartment, you don’t make a lot of money. What part of that are you a catch for a woman in her 40’s? [/quote]

OP here. I totally agree with you. I don't necessarily consider my career to have been a total failure. In this economy I am thankful to have a job where I make $210k. For some of you it's nothing I get it.

Yes you kid of stated the obvious ain't no catch i am not acting like one. I am just venting chill a bit.[/quote]

So you make a doctor’s salary, but you live in a one-bedroom apartment and are otherwise broke?  
You need to get it together, man.   Why are you giving your ex-wife all of your money?  Why can’t you get at least a decent apartment to live in where you can have your kids?  
It sounds like you are hell-bent on being kind of pathetic and self-deprecating.  That can be sort of adorable when you are younger, but it is not attractive in a middle-aged man.

The fact that you don’t have a lot of money isn’t as bad as this Eeyore mentality.  [/quote]

His salary in DC is common. After taxes his options are not as many as you think. He elected to make sure his kids live well, what's wrong with that? [/quote]

His income would go far enough for him to rent a two bedroom apartment his kids could stay in.

If he wants to die on this for whatever reason and give his ex-wife and kids most of his income, that’s his decision.  I don’t know if it’s right or wrong, but of course the fact that most of his resources are going to another woman is going to make it harder for him to date.   [/quote]
