[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you reject men that make less than you? A guy who sits around his mom’s house playing video games, sure, skip...but you’d pass on a great guy who is a high school history teacher making 60-70k in a nice secure job with good benefits and decent quality of life? I think you really need to do some difficult thinking. A lot of great, smart people don’t make 150k especially in their early to mid 30s.[/quote]

Exactly!  A couple of my male friends are teachers, and they all seem to be great dads (and they're fun, smart, cute guys - I think that the women who married them did quite well for themselves).  I know that none of these guys make $100k, but those families are managing - plus they have great benefits and have the summers and school breaks off to spend with kids - most working families go through a lot of stress trying to cover school breaks, so this is a phenomenal benefit for 2-parent working families.

Why on earth would OP deliberately rule this sort of guy out?  OP seems to prefer to stick to a somewhat shallow measure of success rather than be open to a life-partner who would have a lot to offer both her and the kiddos.  I think that this sort of mindset is a bigger barrier (for both dating AND for eventual good parenting) than her weight.
