The honest, ambitious, funny, respectful men were most likely the guys you ignored in your college years/20s while chasing after bad boys. The men you'd like to date now are all taken.


I think this is more true than many people want to admit.

In my experience these men got picked up early. They aren't extinct. I know because I married one. He's incredible but all of his exes took advantage of him.

I eventually ended up with that without meaning to, had good instinct. At the time friends said I could do better, that I was reaching below my level. 20 years on, he is rising and has become massively good looking( no more nerd with suspenders) and I am on my way down. Now that he seasoned, women checks him out all the time but he is woefully unaware. Meanwhile, I have gotten the high end house, the car, the vacations, the fine jewelry, kids and I business class travel, club membership and I never have to ask or remind him of anything I want. I am definitely on my way down while he gets better looking each year that passes yet, he thinks the sun rise and set on me LOL. He definitely has the swag to get a better, newer model. I wonder if he is going to wake up one day and decide I'm a hag, however, he has always been more attached to me than me to him.


Why don't you work on your self-esteem. Nothing more unattractive than low self-esteem in a woman.


I do not have low self esteem, and I don't need to fakely think I'm all that either. I am middle age so I'm being realistic. He has increasingly got better looking since our 20's. When we met he was overweight, badly dressed, with a terrible haircut. But now he is tailored suits, washboard stomach, a mature face handsome and so on. Now, I get complements all the time by friends and strangers about how good looking he is. I can honestly say he is mostly unaware of his looks. He has gotten better looking than I am. You all would think I am lazy and he's an idiot if you knew all the things he has done for me. He brags to anyone who will listen that I'm the reason we are successful, when it is actually his drive and persistent.


what does your husband do? i think you're being totally unfair to yourself.

$100k may cut it in flyover country, but DC Demanding Dames need at least $200k. $300k if you don't want her to freeze you out after the 2.1 kids.


last time I checked 200k-999,999 was six figures.

Are you available? Where do you and friends like you hang out?


totally depends on what I feel like doing. sometimes it's getting out to national park for a hike or just to breath some fresh air, or puttering around the national mall, hitting the trails in N.VA or Mt. Vernon. for fun, the restaurant scene in DC is not too bad and so many places to try. from time to time, catch a show at the K-Center, Blues Alley or Bohemian Caverns, etc. and sometimes just feel like staying local in Arlington too isn't a bad thing. even though I'm not into the club/bar scene, there's just a lot going on in this town that there's no 'routine' weekend.

Hehe, you said you're "on your way down." Keep doing that, and he'll never think you're a hag!

Well, I would fit the bill, expect I have no ambition to move up the chain. I make enough for my family and me to live reasonably well, and I I enjoy my job.

No kidding. My husband is actually honest, funny, and respectful, and he's very ambitious in his career field--always looking for ways to build his resume, networking, positioning himself for more responsibility, actively seeking promotions and new jobs with more authority and scope, but he just doesn't make that kind of money, and he never will, because that's not par for his field (which he loves). Ask yourself, would you really want a guy who was truly ambitious but was never going to make a lot of money, or a guy who made a ton of money without working very hard and was content to coast on that? I suspect that many people who say they want an "ambitious" partner think it's a nice way of saying that they want someone who works to make a lot of money.


these are the words of an awesome wife.
