Also, I'm not really looking for wealthy men: they are often unattractive, boring and very limited in their world and life outlook. There are plenty of men on apps who are real estate developers, in IT, contractors etc who make millions a year. Not one of them ever caught my attention for anything long term

So OP - if you get a great career, a name in your field, a slightly higher salary - why not?

120k is WAY too low....Just imagine dating a woman who speaks this way....

Dear men hope you are reading. Another example for us to stop being dump and stupid. Financially successful women choose wisely. So those women with kids and boring jobs can if you are very successful stay the f***ck away from them.

I don't see wealthy men marrying average-looking boring women with kids.

Matt Damon did. I mean I don’t know if she is as boring as an economist (jk OP I’m an economist)

Sexist.

DCUM double standard on full display! The man is always wrong.

I think first you probably need to abandon your children.

Now I am like the pp who doesn’t bother dating that much. I don’t need the money and wealthy guys tend to be unattractive in other ways.

You dated those guys casually but didn’t marry them or combine finances. There was no reason to do those things

Haha! She wouldn't be caught dead on here.

I am mid 40s. I make a little over 200. I would not date you: I date younger men. I don’t care what they do for a living because I’m never getting married again. A man your age has no usefulness for me (especially one who wants a serious relationship for me to bankroll his life). No thanks.

I’m in my 40s. I have 10+ million - all from my husband (he didn’t have any money when I met him). One of the reasons I liked him was that he was a hard worker, just like my blue collar family. All of them worked really hard to get to MC and some UMC. I wouldn’t be attracted to someone without ambition. I’ve also become accustomed to a certain lifestyle. I would not be interested in OP at all.

All the people with wealth that I know only date other people with wealth, but good luck! There's nothing wrong with being upfront about what you want.

Look for an older, never-married woman who is nice but on the plain side. Ideally, an only child with a future inheritance. Just aim older and less attractive but educated on the apps- and then do your sleuthing.
