[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a lawyer in my mid-forties, and for the first time I average low seven figures. My XH consistently made low seven figures, too (not lawyer). I plan to start dating soon after having gotten out of my 20 year marriage.

Partly because of his earning history, but now especially because of my own, [b]I cannot imagine dating a man who earns less[/b] (either through his work or passive income). I realize that this will hugely reduce the candidate pool.

Are there any dating sites where people are pre-selected based on income and/or assets? [/quote]

OP here. I can't imagine the guy earning less for two reasons: the guy will have an inferiority complex, and because I like myself in a supporting role, just like in my previous marriage. I prefer someone successful to whom I can look up. From my point of view earning $1m+ per year is not a huge achievement, so that is my minimum standard. [/quote]
Congratulations!  You just excluded federal judges from your dating pool!

Seriously though, who are the divorced women in their mid-forties at your firm dating?  There's your answer.  Go ask them.  When I think about the women in their mid-forties at my firm, all of them are married -- some happily, including one to a federal judge; others unhappily.  The one woman who divorced in her mid-forties has never dated, and she's pretty vocal about it.  Meanwhile, the handful of divorced men are indeed dating younger.  (In the case of one younger date, at least one of the married women partners blessed the union because she set them up.)  Yes, one is extremely tall in an unusual but interesting practice area, but one is neither.[/quote]
