[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m amused by all these posters saying “a successful guy in his 30s will only marry an equally successful woman.”

No. That happens, but rarely at this age because by 35, successful people are in a trajectory where the last thing they need is a partner in the same phase. It’s going to make kids impossible and you’re going to be at odds a lot.

More often, they marry a woman “on their level” — similar education background, maybe spent a few years in law or consulting before bailing for an easier gig, has some family money/support to sweeten the deal. But she’s not got some hard charging career— she’s fully ready to pivot to kids with a less stressful job or maybe even being a SAHM.

OP, that could be you. I think you need to learn to brand yourself. You’re coming off as a bit of a sad sack. Learn to tell your story in a more appealing way, then go hard for corporate lawyers or similar on dating apps. Ask friends who work for high paying employers if they know any single guys. Then sell yourself. Be charming, upbeat, interested in him. Do you have a cute hobby that gives you an excuse to dress super sexy on an early date? Something like roller derby? You need to get methodical about this.[/quote]

+1 I found the one useful post! OP, you are not some burnout sad sack.  You are college-educated and work at a non-profit.  Attractive women who work at non-profits dating professional higher-earning guys is so common in DC that it's a stereotype.  Get on the apps, do an activity like rec soccer or triathlon training team, ask your friends to set you up.

It's true that, at 35+, most of the guys who want a family already have one or are well on the way (engaged/married).  You should be open to divorcees a few years older than you, maybe even with kids.
