No reading into your or my post necessary.
Take them both at face value.

Your claim: “‘an ok-looking, financially comfortable (30 yrs married) divorced dad who says please and thank you, listens to women when they talk, and is not trying to trick or hurt anyone can do incredibly well in this town.’”

My claim: talk is cheap, demonstrate your qualities over time, not by claiming to be them.

I'm with you. People who have to claim how great they are, are oftentimes not. I can imagine my DH. He's the best, the kindest, the most helpful... towards complete strangers or when he wears a mask for an hour max. He's the first to open the door and say please and thank you. In reality he has a short temper and cannot manage his basic father and husband duties: we're called names (including b*), demeaned, put down. When something needs solving, he makes sure he makes it as unpleasant as possible, preferably dragging it out and if possible, impossible to achieve (either by blocking money or other resources). I can absolutely imagine once we're divorcing, he'd consider himself prime rib. Let's face it, I'd not have married him if I'd known the person he REALLY is. But as said, you can only figure it out in time. [/quote]
