[quote=Anonymous][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]

As someone who married a rich guy when I was in my thirties (he was divorced, older than me - less than 10 years, no kids), I agree with this.

Give yourself a makeover.  Hair, clothes, etc.  Not too provocative, but more put together.  Feel good about yourself and think about what you can bring to the table.  Maybe you aren't a gunner with a CEO position, but there are many people who are interested in a nice, normal, stable person who can maintain the homefront.  Start dating and date a lot -- you will have to kiss a lot of frogs, and you are behind.  I think the best place to start is asking friends to set you up on dates.

I also don't blame OP for wanting to find a financially stable partner - everyone is ripping her, but marriage is not only about love, it's about a broader relationship based on what you bring to the table and how you make your life.  Some marriages are the "traditional" type where the man makes the money and the woman takes care of the domestic situation.  I am sure any "rich" man she meets knows what he wants - she isn't going to trick any of them into getting married. LOL[/quote]

+1 everyone rips posters who complain about a spouse who lacks ambition... "well why did marry someone like that?"  Now everyone is ripping OP for wanting to marry someone who is on the same page as her [/quote]
