[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a divorced woman in her 40s who makes 7 figures I think you may have a bigger dating pool broke than you do wealthier than most single men. I find most men are too insecure to date someone significantly wealthier than them, and my tastes for nice restaurants and fancy vacations don't work for almost any of the men I meet. Sometimes I think it would be easier dating being broke, or much lower income.[/quote]

That’s another extreme as you are what, 0.001 %? [/quote]

If you're not super attractive and make them feel good, they really don't care how much money you make. It has nothing to do with different taste in restaurants and vacations.[/quote]

A woman making 7 figures would make a lot of men feeling insecure. Just by her tastes [/quote]

Yes, but if she's attractive (which she's more than likely to be), she'll have more than enough options from peers and men looking for a free ride.  Attractive, successful, fit, well-dressed women under 60 in the dating market have choice overload, and the hard part is finding someone compatible who's in it for the right reasons.  I'm sure this is also true of similarly positioned men.  [/quote]

This is not at all my experience. The money is a hangup for men who don't have the same or more, which is rare. I haven't yet met a man who seemed to be looking for a free ride, just those intimidated by the ride itself.[/quote]

Count your blessings. I have dated men who were free riders, including my ex-husband who argued until he was blue in the face that he should be able to penetrate a family trust that hadn't even made distributions yet in our divorce case. You could try not leading with your position or money.   I found stealth wealth worked well when dating the second time around. [/quote]
