oh please. Would you tell a man to not care about a woman's appearance when searching for a mate?

I hate the misogynist hypocrisy.

Everyone has preferences and preferring a beauty is no more or less valid or noble than preferring resources.

I think you should switch teams. Start dating women.

Does an 8” D help?


No, above average is unimportant and often a negative in or out of bed.

You shouldn't set parameters like this but ideally the person would be able to support himself. The amount of his salary and net worth should match how he likes to spend.

I like more textured things, in that they are more forgiving (say that a T shirt... which is what started all this) but I can't do really textured fabrics given my body shape.

For this reason (broad shoulders), puffy sleeves and other voluminous tops just don't work.

I also don't find button downs comfortable (in addition to the gaping issue).

6 feet; size 14 usually.


I hear you.

At mid-50s it’s over. Why do you need a partner at that age? A new partner at that age will just disturb your peace and mess up your life. You are financially secure. Your kids are adults. You don’t need a man to add meaning to your life.

Thin and a size 14 do not align. Do you mean that’s your shoe size?

So your biggest concern with finding someone else while in your mid-50s is their wealth? Can't imagine why you are single.
