[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as a 40yo woman, a man who prioritizes investing and retirement, and spends his money on his kids’ extracurriculars rather than taking them out so he can blow it on women or golf, is extremely attractive. *Extemely*.

However, a 23 year old won’t think it’s attractive. A young, gorgeous woman is going to expect a man to spend his money on her.

As long as you pick a woman in your price range, you’ll be fine. Stick with women your own age, don’t go for the young 9s/10s.

Since you mentioned you’re afraid of OLD - don’t be. Set your age limits appropriately (35-45), fill out your profile thoroughly, and when you match, take the initiate to send a thoughtful message that shows you look at her profile and are interested in her specifically. Engage in some conversation on the app, then suggest a date you think she’d enjoy. You’ll do okay. [/quote]
I can see why OP is afraid of OLD, bc he needs to work on his writing skills. Everyone responding came to different conclusions about whether he had custody, whether he was even divorced, whether he was actually a man!

And then it turns out he was just leading with his feelings when he kept calling himself broke, and it turns out he’s making $210k, investing etc.

When someone is *that* bad at communicating, it feels like dishonesty. It makes the “50% more than decree so XW can live in nice 3BR while I live in crappy unsafe 1BR even though I have kids 3 nights/wk” sound extremely fishy. Or manipulative, like he wants his kids to see the difference and think he’s such a martyr.[/quote]

Or he’s just cheap, wants new women know he won’t spend a cent on them, and doesn’t want to invest in a real new relationship. He still lives in the past [/quote]
