Truth be told, Ms. Lowonluck sounds like a high maintenance princess that I'd like to avoid. Even I probably couldn't live up to her standards.

Yeah she sounds like someone with entitlement issues. One of those who thinks nothing of abusing the system yet isn't like the rest who use welfare. Thinks she brings more to the table than she does. Reminds me of many of the men I dealt with online who offered little but wanted so much.

Really I come across as very affluent. Not at all trashy. I realize you do not know the real me, but your assumptions and projections are exhausting at this point.
This has to be the most hilarious post you've written so far.

So, is that how those local guys you didn't want to date due to their racial background managed to target you and think you'd be their sugar mama?

If you're from a wealthy family, why aren't they helping you out instead of letting their daughter collect public assistance?

Well not trying to sound mean or harsh. But when you get into the 40s it is like going through the left overs in the bargain bin. What is left are what other people didn't want or other people returned and put back into the recycle bin. Dating gets harder as you get older because a lot of the good ones have been taken.

That's a pretty good analogy, I like it. Maybe that's why I tend to run into so many marriage minded guys. I am not great by any means, but I am also not bad... no mental health issues, in good physical shape, in good fiscal shape, have interesting hobbies like scuba diving, and most people seem like me when they meet me (say I smile a lot and come across as friendly). So maybe compared to the rest in the bargain bin, I look pretty darn good! Although in reality, I am still a "return" in the bargain bin, lol. Then again, so are the men considering me.

That is why I got to get school done so I can get back out in the dating scene.

Exactly! Add in that I am picky and it really is slim pickings. Crap I put up with in my younger days, is nonsense I avoid now.

And I don't need someone to live with me. When I say I want an equal, I don't want to have to pay every time we go out.

I run into a lot of freshly divorced guys or some who are long-time divorced who are having trouble getting past the event. They are looking for unconditional acceptance, "fun" and certainly not a commitment.

Pass. I'm not looking to be "practice" or "Transition Girl" for anyone.

Also men who were single a long time, managed not to marry, and are reluctant to divulge the fact that in the autumn of their life, they are still averse to the idea of marriage.

Pass. They are a waste of my time.

So I don't think men in the bargain bin have any right to be overly critical of the women in there; they have their own issues.

The fact that they're EVEN dating online is enough of a red flag.

Don't date online. It's for losers, and it's for people who aren't meeting the right people in REAL LIFE for a reason.

When someone is a MIDDLE AGED ONLINE DATER, it's even more sad that from all the years of living they had, they haven't progressed to the point of meeting women in real life. So they have less potential, like a 40 year old NBA Rookie, unlike the 18 year old who has many years of potential upside.

So the above answers the question in the original post.

Those middle aged online daters need to understand the principles of game instead of doing something that's widely regarded as something losers do, which is online dating. There's a reason there's a stereotype towards online dating, where people with plenty of real life options would avoid like a plague & avoid this embarrassment & desperation.
