[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the problem is that these successful single women are spending too much on themselves.  They make salaries high enough to be the sole provider for a family of five but instead of paying the huge expenses required to get children well educated from 0-21 they are living the high life.  Then they don’t want to put up with a partner who isn’t comfortable spending like that.

So you are basically talking about women of a certain age who make top-1% salaries restricting their dating pool to men with top-1% salaries (who for some reason aren’t interested in younger women).  No wonder they are experiencing tough sledding.  Meanwhile, very few top-1%-earning single men are limiting their dating pool to top-1%-earning women.[/quote]

You are right. The top 1% earners who are the same age as OP is not looking for a high earner. He is not looking to split a vacation with OP and her kids. He is going on vacation with a hot younger woman or not going on vacation at all. The more likely scenario is that he is going on vacation with his wife and kids.

Men have so many more options than women unfortunately.[/quote]

Not true. I have a couple acquaintances who paired up with men their age who, like them, are high earners but not super wealthy.  They met through friends rather than online, and they split costs when they vacation together, but in each case, they've avoided actually moving in together or merging finances.  [/quote]

I cannot imagine paying my share on a date or vacation. I didn’t do this in my twenties and not in my forties. Where has chivalry gone? Are guys just cheap now?

A man earning 500k+ is not treating a woman on a trip??[/quote]

Yea, for sure they don’t want to treat women (of any ages). A date who is a law partner (probably makes couple million/year) was telling me how his younger  exGF (associate making good money but times less), didn’t pay her way for a trip to Paris. He also was cheap never giving her flowers. They broke up when she noted he didn’t bring a bottle  of wine to dinner she cooked for him at her home . I didn’t see that man again, even though I do split vacations. Just hate cheap guys. [/quote]

This thread isn’t about rich tightwad guys.  It’s about middle-aged rich dames who are frustrated that there are so few guys in their dating pool that are rich to a matching degree.  But so many of those guys are married, seeing younger women, or have no need for OLD it’s not really surprising.  [/quote]

It’s inconclusive whether there would be fewer rich men or rich women in each age group on OLD. As a rich woman I also date extensively outside OLD and decline many unattractive but wealthy men.
 Women in their 40-50s  have less incentives in looking for a partner than men. Orgasms are not the same anymore, burdened by kids. So on OLD the net worth could be still in favor of men and I never felt a deficit that OP is describing. LOTS of wealthy unattractive  guys! 
Once you factor in attraction, the level of compensation usually goes down :) [/quote]
