DP.

Yet most men your age are married... why would anyone take your opinion seriously?


Almost 50% of first marriage ended in divorce. Almost 67% of second marriage ended in divorce. Almost 75% of third marriage also ended in divorce. It gets worse if there are children involved. I'll keep my money and stay single. I'll leave that money to my own children through surrogacy. My life will be much happier that way.


That's your opinion, and no one cares about it on this thread. Start yours. OP is looking for men who do want to get married.

At this point, this serial poster is just asking for it right in the title to be busted. Makes me wonder if it’s Jeff himself that’s trolling us, just for the fun of it.

I'm a guy and so lucky that I found someone with lower standards.

I'd be curious about the numbers: How many unmarried, heterosexual men are there around that age? And what percentage of them meet these criteria? Is this a needle in the haystack situation?

But yes, of course, you should hold out for what you want.

Starting a family at 39? Girllllllll


I did. Had first kid at 38, second kid at 41. It's harder than doing it younger, but possible.


Don't be silly. You started at 38. OP is already 39. By the time she meets someone, gets to know them and begins trying, she will be 40/41. Would you advice your brother/ make friend who wants to have kids to start dating a 39 year old? It does not make any sense.

You are disqualifying potentially great partners with the income requirement. My husband is a Fed and passionate about his job; he’s good at it and a devoted civil servant but his income is under 200k. That’s really the only thing that I would challenge on your list.

$200k puts an individual in the top 5%. Now halve that to get a rough estimate of men. 2.5% of all working aged men in the US earn $200k or more. Now exclude all men outside a reasonable age range. Now you're below 1% of all men. Now exclude unavailable men.

Have fun being single for thr rest of your life. You're trying to find a guy who is probably 0.01% of the entire male population.

Your income restriction is a nonstarter.


Math is hard, huh?

LMAO - why do surrogacy at all? Just be a sperm donor. Less trauma for the kids involved.
