Marriage is a financial liability to men, that's my point.

How so? I make more than my husband. It's only a liability if they marry a low earner or a SAHW.

even just browse on okc - the 6-8 on the attractiveness scale, hyper-educated, driven, ambitious group of women are a dime a dozen around here - there is a real paucity of your type out in the pacnw.

As a sociological tool, okc is super interesting - just browsing different cities on it, you start to get an idea of the distribution of the type of women in a particular area.

To a lot of people, the Type A personality is a turn-off!

A B.A. from a decent school is quite enough - if you have a Harvard JD or MBA that's cool with me - but it doesn't make you more attractive. Being in good shape, fun, and nice do.

Yep. Once I learned this I found my spouse. He is happy I'm smart and I think he appreciates the income I bring home a little too much. That being said, we have a great time together and he's attracted to me. I love to cook for him, have sex, dress up for him to go out, decorate our home and plan our social life. I'm sure he appreciates these things a lot more than my career success.

These aren't really positives in a woman.

Listen to Dr. Drew podcast #133, with Anahita Sedaghatfar.

She complains about being a successful professional, in her mid-30s, who can't find a man.

Or, rather, she finds them to be married, or "losers." She provides this definition of "loser": unaccomplished.

She sounds eerily similar to some of the posters here.

What types of activiites do you for fun - when you're not at bars or clubs on the weekends? I can tell you if you are crossing off your list single dads, divorced guys, 35-45, you're really missing out on a wide pool of pretty eligible, mature and successful guys in this town.

NP here. This is my type - where do I find these guys? Especially when I don't have kids (and no real desire to physically have my own) so there's no reason I'd be on a sports field while DD/DS is playing XYZ sport.
