[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 38-year-old son is still single, and actively looking for a wife.  He received his BS degree at the age of 22, MS at 24, and a Ph.D. at 28.  He spent the last ten years advancing his career in tech at Apple and Nvidia, and he didn't pay much attention to looking for a wife.  He has enough money to generate 3M per year in interest, and never has to work again.  However, according to him, it is so much harder now because he will never know if a woman will like him for him or because of his money.  He has gone on many dates, and most of the women that he goes out with are either divorced, single mothers, or both, and emotionally damaged.  In other words, so much baggage.  He said his prospect of finding a wife without baggage is almost slim to none.  YMMV.[/quote]

Guess he should have tried when he was much younger. Likely he wanted women way out of his league in looks and thought he could impress them with wealth. [/quote]

It's obvious he has baggage himself. PP's attitudes toward women are sickening. She is that mom who thinks no woman is good enough and every woman wants to snare her darling little prize. Reality is probably quite different. [/quote]

Well, no parent wants a gold-digger, failure, uneducated, MAGA type person for their adult child. So, it is good to have standards.

It is ok to hope that  young, single, educated, accomplished people  from stable, intact, functional families find each other and get married. The idea is to have well matched people from similar SES find each other.

Seriously, no one is worried about the marital status of the trashy hos and pimps y'all! [/quote]
