A good catch:

- Has a respectable career earning a decent living = 150k+

I laffed. Not only did I laff, but I guffawed.

You think $150k+ a "decent" living. Your expectations are clearly out of whack.

Why don't you post a photo of yourself in this thread so we can determine whether you are not only worthy of a man making $150k but if you are capable of snagging one.

We'll be waiting.[/quote]

I am a size 2, fit petite brunette who gets told she looks 25 and resembles Eva Longoria all the time. I love hiking, cats and lifting. I am great with children (neighborhood babysitter growing up) and have a Philosophy degree from Bryn Mawr. I do not earn a very good living and make 60k in fundraising. I do not think my requirements are outlandish. Everyone I know is married to guys with a similar profile.

If everyone you know is married to guy's with a similar profile and you're not that means you likely are the one that is lacking.  I've seen this a couple of my wife's friends.  Similar circle.  All the husbands are of a similar status level but the couple perpetual single girlfriends will not be set up with anyone they see as "lesser" than their friends husbands.  Here's the honest truth from a 30's guy that fits your profile, for the both of those friends of my wife I'd happily go out for drinks and would love to have had a go in bed with them in my single days but I can't imagine dating them seriously.  Their personality precludes it.

Your post reminds me of them immensely.  I'd never take the chance on a ltr with someone that categorizes me on requirements like that.  Especially on 150k salary at a mid career point.  I'd never trust she liked me for me, or that she wasn't ultimately after my trust funds.  Would she even stick around if experienced hardship, as you know the wedding vows state you're supposed to?   And the guys who are cool with a girl who significantly values their money/income; bad news.  They're going for a much younger model vehicle than you.  Doesn't matter how fit you are or how much you lift.

As a fellow philosophy major I think you've lost your focus.  You're requirements look incredibly superficial on paper.  If was single, I'd dig a hot philosophy major who I could bond with over common interests.  You being in your 30's wouldn't be an issue.  I met my wife when she turned 30 and I chose her over a multitude of younger women I was casually dating at the time.    Stop focusing on a checklist and start looking for the Good again.  Figure out the ethical qualities you want in a partner and go for that.  And imagine the type of person your dream partner would want to date and start improving yourself towards that.
