[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It all seems so random to me. I don’t understand how certain girls attract the perfect partner and live more or less happily married. They also get the good quality guys chasing them when and if they are single.

Other girls who are also pretty and have good jobs keep getting their heart broken and either find low quality partners or wind up single.

Is there a magic sauce to being desirable to men?

I’m not sure if it’s looks as I’ve known plenty of beautiful friends who have attracted poor quality men and relationships. [/quote]

I am older (early 50s) but it seems like a lot of successful long-term matches are made in college and graduate school. The post-collegiate market dating scene is significantly chancier in that you need to wade through a lot of muck to find that right person. Online dating is its own form of hell. [/quote]

Wow, I'm in my early fifties too, and nearly every couple I know who met early in life, including college and grad school, is either miserable or divorcing. College and grad school are too early to know who you're going to become in life.

The magic is to focus on your own career. Marriage after you've accomplished things and you're at least self-sufficient. I don't mean you need to wait until 40. But wait at least until your late twenties. I can not emphasize enough how much some of these "college/grad sweetheart couples" DESPISE each other by their fifties. It's frightening.
