[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP is real. I'm a divorced man and I'm also a partner at a professional services firm.  Doctors, lawyers, management consultants, highly paid managers, and C Suite executives often want to date me.  They often talk about dating the way OP does.

It's a mix of a few things.

1. They don't want to be used for their money.
2. They don't want the awkwardness of having to change their lifestyles (especially vacation choices) because they're dating someone with much less money.
3. They can't get sexually attracted to most men with lesser careers.  Yes, they can have a fling with a salsa instructor or a high school basketball coach or a chet, but they can't sustain long term attraction once the novelty is over.
4. It doesn't work socially with the friend group.

Number 3 is real and very important.

Some women get over these things by finding men who are successful in other ways: artists, professors, etc. Some women just adapt. And some hold our for the guy who checks all the boxes, with some finding the guy who checks the boxes and some spending a lot of time alone or with discreet FWBs while they look.

Regardless, one answer to OP's question is to use matchmaking services but also use Bumble and Hinge and apps like that, reading the bios closely.  There are more professionally successful and wealthy men than women, and they're on the apps.  Of course, many of them want younger women and are willing to date women with less lucrative or non-existent careers. [/quote]

OP here. PP, you have nailed it. All the others who say I should settle down with a nice teacher don't get it.

I can definitely hold out looking for the right one to come along. I don't need to settle, and not interested in fwb.

To those who ask why date at all, I, want a companion and affection.[/quote]
