[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s crazy how every woman on DCUM is a mini Sheryl Sandberg yet whenever I go on a date with a cute late 20’s chick from Hinge they’re all broke. The only single women I know irl who aren’t broke are the ones who I work with. Never been on a date with a chick under 35 making six figures. [/quote]

And? At 35 I made $60K and had $125K in debt. By 45 I made $180K with no debt and was married to someone making $325K. People develop.[/quote]

Most men with money will choose the younger broke woman over the older woman with a 6 figure career. [/quote]

Not the case in my dating experience. Even high income men don't like when women are with him for money, or be Sugar Daddies[/quote]

This thread (and many other DCUM threads) abundantly demonstrate that even older women are with you for the money, so you might as well date younger and hotter if you can.[/quote]

This thread actually shows that [b]older women are forgiving of men making less,[/b] but want financially secure dates who are able to contribute into joint dating experiences at par with women. You have hangups about women wanting your money, and need to process it first before dating. [/quote]

This thread doesn't show that at all. If you don't make roughly as much as she does, she's not going to date you. And there's nothing wrong with that, but don't pretend women aren't in it for the money. In fact they very obviously care more about it than men do.[/quote]

I am in my mid forties and all our friends are in their forties and early fifties. We know several people who have divorced in their forties. The attractive successful women had no problems meeting men right away. The attractive men also were able to date and marry if they wanted. Two did marry. One got married and had a kid and then got divorced again so now he has a high income with two ex wives and three children.

The women who are very type A, not as physically attractive and not very nice don’t seem to be dating or no one worth showing their friends. [/quote]

Why haven't you listed the attractive unsuccessful women in this list?
These women I know date but they are terrible at it attracting the worst men possible. I've gone out with these people and they have boyfriends but then the boyfriends take what little money they have, they are busy finding these guys new apartments, taking their dog they can't hold onto anymore along with the costs associated, dealing with drinking habits etc.

You are also confusing the men. The categories are successful attractive men, attractive, but not successful men, and successful but unattractive men. It's confusing who you are talking about.[/quote]

Pp again. Dh is successful. I also used to work and was successful. We were both attractive. I never thought about it before but most people we know are both attractive and successful.

We know successful and attractive men and successful and average looking men. We don’t know attractive unsuccessful men. I did know those hot dumb types when I was a teen but haven’t hung out with those types of people in thirty years.

The women I know are also attractive and successful or average looking and successful. There are also the attractive and nice or attractive and smart but not necessarily successful women who married the successful men.

I believe the lowest earning people we know are GS15 feds. There is one divorced guy in our group who is a very high fed. I’m guessing he earns around 200k. He has the ex wife who is relatively still attractive and unsuccessful. Both these people don’t seem to be doing well in the dating scene. Both are dating people who I consider far below both their ex spouses. I wish they stayed together. We don’t hang out with them as much anymore.[/quote]

So you think you have seen it all when it comes to dating when your poorest friend makes $200k? Okeydokey.[/quote]
