I wouldn’t date poor. But wondering if I’d be foolish not to date equal or higher. They are harder to find.

Stay single.


I am happily single. It will take someone really worldly, interesting and open minded to get me enter a relationship. I've dated for couple years post divorce: regretfully most men out there are just a deadweight for an energetic, economically independent and active woman. I want to do things, see the world, work on my career and not constantly yield to someone with limited interests and resources

I’m sure women can screen guys for money and expect a dividend. But guys at this age not so much. Guys would have to have a big draw card to marry up

Last night learned of some divorce/remarriages in my extended circle and realized the women (who are all highly educated professionals themselves) all remarried money. Feeling insecure about my dating life.


I just left a relationship for a variety of reasons but finances were a big one. He is mid 50s and hadn’t saved for retirement. Buys all kinds of toys and goes on trips but can’t manage to sock money away for the future. I don’t need anyone else’s money and won’t actively seek out a monied partner - I’ve saved diligently and will be fine, but his inability to make smart financial decisions was a huge turn off.
