Divorced bachelors must make at least $500k + per year to satisfy her, since half goes to the bachelor's ex wife.

Only marital assets are divided (halvesies) in a divorce.
Income is NOT a marital asset, therefore income does NOT get split in divorce!!!

So you want an attractive, tall, single (not divorced) man in the top 2% of earners nationwide. You want the full package. Meanwhile, you are mid-30s, divorced and bringing two kids into the relationship making him a stepfather, or at least a man who "doesn’t mind dealing with mine 50% of the time."

You also do not want to have his children.

I hate to break it to you, but the high-quality man you are seeking is sought after by ALL single, attractive women who do not have children and are in their 20s. This man has his pick of options in terms of online dating, women are clamoring to date him and willing to have his children.

He doesn't care about your money, because he has his own. So given your baggage (it is baggage from his perspective), what are you offering him that he can't get from a single, childless, highly attractive 27-year-old?

Uh no. This is so stupid. I lived in DC in my 20s and you know who I dated? Single, never married, childless (high income!) men in their 20s. I thought 38 yr olds were old and gross, divorced or not, but divorced with kids? That would have been so embarrassing.

Plus in a major urban area like DC, you'd have to think there are plenty of men who fit her criteria.

They're happily married already.

Only condition is you never mention your kids or ex. I'm pretty busy but we can splurge on fancy hotels, day trips, or overseas vacations. If you're into videogames then that's cool. I also own a sailboat in Annapolis and like to host outings for friends and business associates.

Do women actually go for this? This sounds like absolute hell.
