She is 45, never married, no kids, a lawyer and very well off. She wants a never married childless man who is also a white collar well off professional. I told her what is probably hurting is she wants a white collar educated professional who is also in great shape.
My new ex meets all of your friend's criteria. However, he doesn't want kids, doesn't want to get married (or live with anyone), and he doesn't want to commit a LT/indefinite relationship -- EVER. Your friend is likely going to have a lot of "settling" to do. I wouldn't settle for those crumbs, no way.
Respectfully, I don't think that's what he meant. I think what he meant was that, regardless of what they make, even your 6-figure blue collar guy is not seen as "good enough" by your typical professional urban princess.
As a professional urban princess I am biased. I love my very smart, educated, blue collar worker.

Not sure if she wants kids but she does want marriage. The problem though is there are so many leftover people as one ages which is scary.
That sounds like the most likely scenario to me. It is entirely possible for anyone, no matter how attractive, in shape, educated, well-off, etc., to be so picky that they price themselves out of the market.

She will most likely either have to compromise on age (much younger than her) or the never married childless part. Never married childless men in their mid-40s who are also successful, and don't look like Ebenezer Scrooge, are probably about as easy to find as Santa Claus on January 1st. My guess is that their popularity among women their own age would be closely linked to their rarity.

True, that. I had a phone conversation with my mother last night, and I told her that I was going to lunch with a single dad today. Her first words: "Don't date a single dad with young kids, you'll regret it!"
I don't think that she realizes that there's not too much of a selection of divorced, childless men out there just angling to get married. I genuinely really like this man, and if something comes of it, I'm good with that. I acknowledge the fact that he never intended to get stuck with the "single dad" label, that it broke his heart to get divorced. I admire that about him, in fact.

I do not and will NEVER date a divorced dad as the stakes are too high. Did you know if you marry him you could end up supporting his ex or his kids? Of course many want to remarry they want another woman to help raise their kids or help support them. I have known single dads who expected the new spouse to babysit their kids. If it broke his heart to get divorced that could be a danger too.
There are childless men out there, you just have to dig deeper. I found one.

I found a never married childless man myself so they are out there but he doesn't appeal to her. For one he is short, second he isn't in great shape (he's a bit chubby) or handsome. He's also shy and has a slew of other problems.
I'm 26 still at university and no I'm not worried about finding my mr right. I would love to meet him sooner rather than later however I believe everything happens for a reason and there's no need to rush
When the times right it'll happen
