Yes, exactly.  Single, successful men in their early to mid 40s are not looking for an average looking woman (by your own description) who is their own age.  Average looking women your age who are with ultra successful men have probably been with them for many years.

Further, many successful men are happy to "date down" (quotes because "dating down" is all in the eye of the beholder).  Many men in the demographic you're describing would be more interested in dating a[b] gorgeous Starbucks barista who, say, has a degree in art history and really enjoys sex[/b].

What women think men want is sometimes different from what men actually find appealing.  Successful, professional men have their pick.[/quote]

I'm a successful, professional man in my 50s.  If I were single, I admit that I would be more interested in dating a gorgeous Starbucks barista who, say, has a degree in art history and really enjoys sex.  And if she enjoys sex [i]with me[/i], I'd even forego the degree in art history.  [/quote]

Would you marry her though?[/quote]

PP here.  In honesty, maybe.  I would if I were looking for someone to help me with down time, to relax.  She would have to be intelligent, yes, but not necessarily accomplished.  Kind and drama free are important to me.  I'm not looking to compete at home.

But probably not, no.  If I were recently divorced, I would want to date her, for the conquest value and some adolescent "fun", but in the end I would probably marry a 45-50yo woman with whom I can unwind without drawing evil, judgmental stares from the other parents at school events, and who would age well with me.

But I myself would not be drawn to the OP, given my quieter personality.  That said, I can think of a number of successful professional men who are more extroverted who would love to be part of a power couple (Clinton / Dole / Podesta-types) for whom a high professional status wife would be an asset for the cocktail party, social climbing set (which I mean kindly).  I know more than one lobbyist for whom a stay-at-home or introverted spouse can be limiting.

Every pot has its cover.
