[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a lawyer in my mid-forties, and for the first time I average low seven figures. My XH consistently made low seven figures, too (not lawyer). I plan to start dating soon after having gotten out of my 20 year marriage.

Partly because of his earning history, but now especially because of my own, [b]I cannot imagine dating a man who earns less[/b] (either through his work or passive income). I realize that this will hugely reduce the candidate pool.

Are there any dating sites where people are pre-selected based on income and/or assets? [/quote]

Why though? [/quote]

OP here. I can't imagine the guy earning less for two reasons: the guy will have an inferiority complex, and because I like myself in a supporting role, just like in my previous marriage. I prefer someone successful to whom I can look up. From my point of view earning $1m+ per year is not a huge achievement, so that is my minimum standard. [/quote]

So you still want to be the little woman in the relationship. That’s so effed up.[/quote]

This.  Wanting to "look up" to someone when you're in your 40s?  Sounds like you need therapy.

Also, the kind of wealthy men who are looking for a support type partner aren't looking for someone in their 40s.  This kind of man either is married to the woman he married decades ago or he's divorced and will remarry a woman who is much younger.[/quote]

You are incorrect . Look at Bezos - he married a woman slightly younger from his circle. Not all wealthy men want a second set of kids. OP should be targeting men up to 15 years older, almost empty nesters who want a partner to enjoy life.

OP doesn’t need to marry a poor man - no point. She seems to be marriage oriented and marriage is a contract so she needs to find an equal  [/quote]
Bezos is an aberration. Most wealthy men of a certain age follow the Bill Ackman path. [/quote]

Either way, it is worth mentioning both Bezos and Ackman married slightly younger and married women who work, which is important to them, but in something interesting and with some flexibility , not something like biglaw.   [/quote]
