[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Late 30s, 1 child, amicably divorced and open to more kids down the road if I met the right woman.  Financially independent from the sale of a business.  Curious if/how this would change any of the advice given.[/quote]

If you are open (and can afford a good life to) more children, that certainly increases your options. However, the smartest and prettiest women in their 20s and early 30s without children aren't going to settle for being your #2 family--unless you are making a ton of money.  That could sway them.

Just curious, what would you consider a ton of money?[/quote]

Enough to pay child support and private college for the kids you have, and to raise two or more additional kids at an equal standard of living and same college fund, without needing your wife to work full-time.  Part-time is okay.[/quote]

I sort of agree with this except I think it is a little overly optimistic. I think the vast majority of women in their twenties and thirties simply won’t want to marry a divorced dad even if he is willing to have more kids and even if he has the money above. Maybe women 37,38 and up will start being open to the ide especially if you make a lot of money. But you won’t be any ones first choice. The guys without kids have a big leg up over you, even if they have less money.[/quote]
