[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you looking for romantic partners or business partners?[/quote]

OP here. After putting myself through college and graduate school and acquiring a fulfilling and interesting policy job, I really do not want to marry some average joe making 100k a year so we can squeeze into a 500k townhouse in Vienna and take yearly vacations to OBX.

I want a SHF in Chevy Chase, private school for my kids and international vacations.

Why NOT me? Only because I am not blonde and skinny?

Its depressing. [/quote]

Is this real? If it is, and these are really your aspirations, you need to realize them by yourself. If you’re in your late 30s, your potential dating pool is divorced men, and they will not be interested in providing this kind of lifestyle to a second wife.

I’d double down on making more friends, traveling with friends, and enjoying life as it is.[/quote]

She can't afford traveling with kids on her income it's very low for DC (OP, do you rent/own/roommate arrangement?). She needs a second earner/husband for "economy of scale", at least someone making the same 100K. [/quote]

I said nothing about kids. I said traveling with friends.

Pardon, a typo. 100K after tax is 75K. Yes, she probably can afford one 10K vacation/year or two $5K hiking/camping trips with friends if her housing is under $2K

She's single in her late 30s, she says she isn't conventionally attractive, and she doesn't want to settle for some kind of "Joe Average" because she wants something more than what Joe Average can offer her. The title of her post is about the discrepancy between what she wants and what she can get. So my suggestion is that she focus on building the life she wants as a single person. Then she's not settling for Joe Average.[/quote]
