[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.[/quote]

Guy here. Are you speaking from experience or just guessing? I have successful single male friends in that age range. They just don't think that closely about the logistics of having a family like that. I have 2 friends who are partners at law firms, and while they may not be seeking out a female mate who is also a partner (grueling schedule), they'd have no problem with dating someone in a less-stressful legal job (another lawyer friend married a US gov't lawyer).

There's a big difference between hard-charging career, and being a project manager at a non-profit just whiling the days away. The men I know go for someone in between those ranges.[/quote]
