[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’m early 50s F, also a high earning professional, thin, attractive etc.  Been dating a few years.  IME there’s a lot of truth in what PPs are saying - wealthy men do not prioritize earnings in women, and in fact I think many dislike it because it takes away their power.  They can draw beautiful younger women by paying for everything, and they don’t even have to be good boyfriends.

I understand your desire for an intellectual/intensity/successful equal.  What has worked for me is looking for different kinds of excellence.  For example  I dated a diplomat for a while- spoke 4 languages, had lived all over the world, and a guy who had been in the special forces before becoming an executive.… I have plenty of admiration and respect for these guys and they aren’t threatened by my success either.  I don’t mind picking up the more expensive tabs and letting them get the cheaper ones, and they pull their weight and don’t expect me to do everything because they are paying.

Add to this they often want women they can control. A beautiful but financially struggling young woman will be happy to rearrange her life to travel first class with him on his schedule, for example. But OP can buy her own first-class trip, so she wants someone who respects her and compromises.  Older men don't like to compromise. [/quote]

OP here. This is really sad, but true most of the time, I guess. Such a relationship between a dominant older male and a subservient young lightweight must be not very intellectually satisfying, I imagine. Twenty-plus years ago when I was last dating, young men were looking to partner with intellectual equals.[/quote]

Young men might still be trying to do so.  You are talking about older men, who twenty-plus years ago, were likely the same as now. [/quote]
