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]

OP- you waited too long.  Those of us met those guys and married them by 30.

I have a Master’s Degree and work in similar field.  I have the life/husband you are looking for.  Almost all of my girlfriends do as well and the lady of us married at 33.[/quote]
I loathe this smug attitude by women who married young. They think it is some grand personal achievement and that it is some symbol that they are special or superior to other women, that they are better at life. You didn’t cure cancer or negotiate world peace, you walked down an aisle. So get over yourselves. [/quote]

Not PP and I don’t see a hint of smugness. You’re just mad because it’s a hard truth.

But I guess you have me with that last part. I do think I’m better at life. The proof is in the pudding. [/quote]
Ugh. Really? Gross. No, not “a hint of smugness at all.”  :roll: [/quote]

Well I got married young (DH was also mid 20s, not some gross old man) had kids young while launching two successful careers and now we are happy and rich. I’m quite smug. But I’m also not the PP who told you nicely. [/quote]

It is much easier to marry young and then launch your career, with all the support. The only advantage you had over other women is good looks which attracted the right guy. Many girls like you also marry young and they end up divorced with kids by their 40s.

You are not in any way better, or more positive example! I married myself at 25, divorced at 43. I was thin, tall and modeled part time. It was extremely easy for me to marry a rich guy (much easier than studies and career)[/quote]
You are just feeding PP’s gigantic ego by assuming that she is good looking.  I’ve seen many examples of young, handsome wealthy guys marrying plainer women than you might expect. [/quote]

She's probably good looking but also stupid if this is feeding her ego. Beauty attracts all kids of wrong guys /cheaters etc[/quote]

Ok I’ll tell you my secret. It’s not gorgeous looks. My husband is Asian. Not being a racist dater would have helped a lot of my peers. Alas. [/quote]

Other girls may not be necessarily racist. My cousin sister is married to an Asian IT guy. He makes shit load of money, but there is a certain dynamics in Asian families. Their in-laws are usually pretty dominant over wife, wives have low weight in the families until grand children come.In-laws would visit every day and live nearby. My cousin's in-laws unilaterally moved into her house when her baby was born, under a pretext of "helping". Its the husband's mom who rules the young family.

Not every US woman would want this, even for big buck![/quote]

If white in laws were so much easier to get along with this board would have 20% fewer threads. [/quote]

Believe me in Asian families in-laws just wipe off their feet on you, particular wealthy Asian families. [/quote]
