I'm in my late 30s. One of my friends who is single and very beautiful (also in her late 30s) is single, in my opinion, because she has a long list of requirements that most guys can't meet. He has to be at least her age but not more than 10 years older, 6'2"+, graduate degree, well off (rich), no prior baggage, can't be a homebody, etc. She's 5'4", has a decent job that just breaks 6 figures, and doesn't actually have a grad degree herself... go figure. Guys she meets either don't fit the list and are rejected, or if they do, they'll date her for a bit but don't seem to want a long term relationship with her and end up with someone in their 20s or someone within their social circle. I wish she'd relax that list a little, but she views that as "settling" and would rather remain single than compromise.
My other single friend is an amazing woman - pretty, educated, kind, sweet - but she works long hours, doesn't go out much and refuses to do online dating because she wants to meet someone "organically". Shockingly enough, she's not meeting anyone.
I think you’ve described the vast majority of single women over 30 in this area.

It's raining men out there, all you need to do is check the forecast and go where the rain is:

LOL this is definitely how women see themselves. I am just too good for anyone...it’s not a problem for most women just ones with the big ego and nothing to back it up. How rich -consistencies dates below her league! Maybe just maybe it’s because she is not in the league she thinks she is in? What a load of crap. It must be something in our society that allows women to live in a fantasy land where they are entitled to the “Mr Bigs” of the world.

Of course, single women in DC could also stop aspiring to be the DCUM useless people who want to marry rich guys, or who advise their other women to dump the guy asking her to move to Chicago with him.

The solution for the next generation! Or at least drop out of college:
"If you are a strong woman with a strong business idea, you won’t have a problem getting funding,” says Jenny Lefcourt of Freestyle Capital, where 30 percent of the companies they funded last year featured a female founder or cofounder. "

How is that? There are LOTS of AA men. I thought I saw statistics that they outnumber the women.
They often opt for non-AA, given the option. Unfortunately.
White and other non-AA men opt for AA women too.

Al they need to do is a semester at American University in Cairo and pick up a Nigeran grad student. They are usually in STEM or other PhD type track, very nice, and very on board with marrying and family.
