[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone in the thread mentioned that for a single women with no kids, there’s many better options than marrying a man with young kids and an ex wife. That thread suggests there may be a lot of drama and even when no drama you’ll always be second to your boyfriends children.

Yet many women will want to do this and in fact do it. Why? What are they thinking is the appeal in this situation? [/quote]

So, most of these single women missed their windows to get married and start families themselves and now find themselves in their 30s and all the men are either:

-- Losers living in their parents' basement;
-- Players and disease-ridden commitment phobes;
-- Married

The DESIRABLE men available to them are either:

-- Younger and would absolutely take a roll in the hay with a cougar, but they're not gonna put a ring on it;
-- Divorced, many with kids.

These are not typical hot young women in their 20s who find themselves in these situations -- yes, they have plenty of options. But by the time you're in your 30s and female and you know your eggs are drying up by the second, you discover the script is flipped. There really aren't any "good men" in your age group left, because they were already snatched up by other women a decade or so before. That leaves either chasing after aging players or men with baggage. And usually, they're the ones with options now.

I'm surprised you needed this explained to you.[/quote]

It’s actually a chicken-egg dilemma: most rich men in their 40s and 50s have kids. I know plenty of very attractive women in their early and mid 30s who are willing to chase after divorced dads with kids IF (1) they are rich & provide the lifestyle and (2) they are willing to have a baby with Younger Wife #2.

It’s really more about the lifestyle than anything else. These ladies want a Provider and they are willing to tolerate the kids. You don’t see female surgeons in their 30s putting up with divorced dads with kids. It’s always the young, pretty school teacher or interior decorator or artist/pilates instructor. [/quote]

Sometimes it's the surgeon. Successful women prefer a successful man with baggage over an unsuccessful man with no baggage. [/quote]
