If you're looking for marriage/kids a "FWB" probably isn't the way to go

You will be fine. But, word of caution. My sister married before 30, but waited to have kids till she finished her specialization. And then she had major autoimmune failure and went to menopause at 35. Sadly, no kids, and they decided not to adopt. Since you don't have a guy already, honestly start dating and a lot. You are mature person, so hopefully you know what is important and focus on that, not on potential suitors looks and income(common dcum priorities.)

This is me too but I'm 34. Tween and almost tween kids, going back to school and about to start year three of separation. Sometimes things are ridiculously stressful and exhausting.
I'm confident I will attract the right person when the time is right. It took awhile but I appreciate the time I have now to better myself and enjoy just being me. Fast tracking set me ahead financially, but I wish at 20 I could have known a fraction of what I know now.
Try to create as many ways as possible to enjoy your present life.
34, divorced, two almost teenagers, and no education? Sorry, but as a single 35 year old man you're about the exact opposite of what I look for. Only thing worse would be if you were older. Just being honest.
NP. This is perfect. The men not worth your time will filter themselves out. OP, and PP, you have your lives ahead of you!

A lot of 4th round draft picks turn out to be the real all-stars.
Dak Prescott, David Johnson, Devonta Freeman. Antonio Brown and Tom Brady were sixth round draft picks.
So OP, not to worry. This PP was probably a huge draft bust.

Are you the only single 35 year old man in the world? If not, PP doesn't much need to worry that there are some men out there she won't appeal to. That's always the case and isn't exactly breaking news.
You're so right! Most men want uneducated single moms with two kids about to enter a horrible period! They definitely aren't interested in the younger women with pre-kids bodies, educations, no kids, no ex husband, complicated custody schedules, and all the rest that goes with buying a used car with 50,000 miles on it!
You've changed my mind! I'm updating my Match search criteria immediately!
No one cares about changing your mind, but you seem to think your opinion matters more than it does.
Did I hit a nerve?
Not in the least. Have a blast on Match!

Not OP. Not only doctors hold a medical degree. I’m a CRNA and I can say I have a medical degree. A medical degree is a degree associated with fields that practice in medicine and surgery.
I’m sorry but you don’t have a medical degree. You have an advanced nursing degree. Physicians go to medical school.

OP, 32 is young. I didn’t get married until I was 34 and had first kid at 36. Take your time and be picky. I would get rid of the fwb though, he is a distraction and making you complacent.

The other OP had a similar salary and was looking for a guy with the same set of criteria.
She posts the same thing every few months. There's no way she's a 7. She's probably a 4 or something.
That’s unnecessary. You should be ashamed of yourself. (NP here.)
No, it's great context. I'm glad PP did it, sometimes you have to certain posters will keep
you spinning around in circles.
The dig about calling her a 4 is what is juvenile and shameful.
Op here. I could care less what some bitter woman has to say on here. Her husband likely cheats on her because she lost her looks. That’s the only reason I can think of for someone to bash another persons looks. I think I’m a 7 but I’ve been told I’m hot. I was even asked to model when I was in my early 20’s. I’m the typical blonde haired, blue eyed, fair skin woman. I’m single because of my lack of trying, not because I can’t find a date.
Well, if you don't have trouble finding a date, then what's your problem?
Prioritize dating this year. Go on at least one or two dates a week. Hopefully you'll find someone you like and then you can work towards exclusivity. But be sure to prioritize dating. You can't build intimacy unless you prioritize being with the other person.

I have an education. I'm going for my masters. I have well over a million in assets. No debt. No financial support from spouse. I'm not interested in most under 40 males. Thanks though. SMH.
