If you mean highly attractive, desirable men with good personalities, then they're probably confirmed bachelors. It's really hard to imagine changing your whole life for a person the longer you've actually lived that life.


I’m not sure that it is an ego thing, so much as it is a hmm-there-is-no-dinner-ready-and-no-one-planned-holiday-decorations-and-I-am-going-on-travel-for-work-and-have-no-clean-socks thing. Even if it isn’t this conscious, there has been a downgrade in lifestyle that they didn’t see coming— because they didn’t pay any attention to how much work their wife was doing. Probably part of why they got divorced in the first place. So you probably don’t want one of these.

Horseshit.

They are wary of the women desperate to be taken care of financially, though.


Guy here. If you are unable to support yourself, I am not looking for another mouth to feed


And you know how women love a man who's not protective at all, can't support her and is selfish. Good luck on the dating market- men like you lose.


Utterly useless woman.

Being a single parent by choice is something that only the top 1-2% of society can financially afford.


Nope my niece is doing it and she is not a top 1%er. She does make a good salary and she bought her own house in her early 30's but at 37 she is happily a single mom by choice.

It's a new day, a woman that can't support herself is not someone to build a life together with.

Men get sick and if a woman can't step up then you are just a child.

Let me tell you. You do not want my ex husband. He looks good on paper but is a cheater and
a lover bomber. He is very good looking and smooth talker. He has multiple women at the moment.

I will never remarry.

If you’re over 40, you really should not be looking for a man to support you. Presumably you’re not having kids or you have them already, so you won’t becoming a SAHM.

I say this as a woman. I’d feel utterly pathetic going on dates with men if I didn’t have a career at 40 and had to beg one to take care of me.

This is not true. Many people can afford it in this area. They will have to give up on all the fancy extras though.

The trick is to go young. I’m 40 and dating a 30yo guy.

As long as you’re up front about this and not wasting the time of a woman who does want babies, theres nothing wrong with this.

I think it's the opposite. The number of divorced men who want to jump into the next marriage asap is creepy. It's like they're racing their ex to the altar. Maybe it's an ego thing - to prove they weren't the problem in the last marriage.
