[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most men want a soft woman. Fit, feminine, friendly. Cooperative instead of competitive at home. They don't want a spreadsheet with arms and legs barking orders off the clock. They want a warm human being with empathy and kindness who can put her work away. A good man really doesn't care about your money, because it isn't his money. He knows that his money would be your money but your money wouldn't be his mone in a marriage. So when you talk about your money, it means absolutely nothing to him. He views your career as an impediment to spending real time together, not as a positive selling point.[/quote]

"Barking" is a word I hate. Most of the "barking" in a marriage comes from men.  In my marriage, my DH is the only one "barking" orders in our house, and it is beyond annoying.  It is why many women of OP's age conclude dating isn't worth it.  Who wants to deal with men and their double standards at your age, OP?  Go find a peer group of women who share your hobbies, travel, and live your best life.  You'll find easy casual hookups along the way, and if you ever find a man who actually excites you, you can always change course.  It's just not a goal worth pursuing anymore.  You're wasting mental energy on it.  Give life.  Men who want a soft, cooperative woman mean they want a subservient doormat who "goes along" with whatever they want in life, which is a waste of a life.   Go do you. [/quote]
