Great point like advertising " I'm an independent woman " kinda thing......

I agree completely with this people will KNOW which you are without having to being repeatedly told

Hahaha...... love it!

Reminds me years ago I was on the make with one I just met and a fella ( poor bloke ) accidentally trod on her toe......, she's gone mental! " you dumb #^*€€ and you're a %^>^!!! "..... And so on.... For about 5 minutes.... I'm in construction and not heard language like that!

After that died down we were still in conference ( flirting ) and she says " I'm very ladylike and liked to be wooed... "....... I spilt half my drink on her from laughing so much!!! 😂😂😂😂

When I say that singles are single for good reason, I am not just viewing my dating stories as the only source. I am forming that opinion from all my single friends, coworkers and aquintances, that have been single for years, married and divorced multiple times, etc. I even talked to my ex husband about this issue last year. He has the same findings. We have been separated over a decade and neither of us have remarried.

My most recent ex and I had a conversation last week, regarding what we each get out of being in a relationship. He has way more to offer than I do, because my resources are already stretched thin. He literally said he has no problems doing work for me, buying my kids stuff and paying for things for me. I asked what he gets out of being so giving and he actually said sex. So yes he basically did say I was like a prostitute. An expensive one, but yup, a prostitute.

He can take his money and go away also. Seriously, they do not get to mid 30's unmarried by being normal, mentally healthy men.

I was 31 before I met my wife...33 when I married. You may or may not consider my level of normalcy, but we have been married over 16 years now and are stronger now than we have ever been.

They are out there. You just have to look in the right places AND with the right mindset. So far, the results should show you that this is not been the case.

Time to change up and find a new approach, attitude and outlook. You can't go out there hoping to find a provider and then get upset when he spells out specifically what your relationship is. He says he wants to care for you, monetarily and otherwise. In exchange, he wants sex (actually, he wants an emotional attachment too, but you left that part out). You may think of it as prostitution, but frankly, considering what your goals are in a relationship, this is probably going to be an arrangement you attract, unless you change your approach.

Most mentally healthy, well educated, professional men I know waiting until early 30s (at the earliest) to ever get married. They were wise to do so. They finished their degrees and were established in their careers before marrying and having children.

It was the ones in their 20s who did that, that have had the problems.

Yeah.... not getting what's wrong with men marrying in their 30s. If a guy gets to his late 40s/early 50s and claims he's always wanted to get married, but never found the right one, it might raise a flag for me, but that would still depend on what he was doing until the reached that age. Was he super into his career and didn't really feel like he had quality time to spend with a committed partner? Some guys did that when they were younger.

It really depends.
