I think your desired ending has a better chance of being the next new hit sitcom than coming to fruition in real life.

No offense, but frankly I hope you get no takers. You have the wrong attitude about relationships and any decent guy with a good head on his shoulders will steer clear from it.
I agree. Her attitude screams "ME! ME!! MMMEEE!!!!" She needs to really ask; what do I offer someone?
Um, OP, I realize you came here for "meeting people" advice, but does it worry you at all that your approach and outlook absolutely horrifies everyone who has responded to you? One rarely sees such unanimous agreement on these boards. You respected the opinions on here enough to ask a question, apparently - so you must find us to be collectively insightful to some degree.
OP you never answered my question...WHAT DO YOU OFFER?
You've mentioned nothing but cosmetic and monetary/educational things. I have those plus I'm 10 years younger than you, so honestly, I'm not all that impressed. Plus I still manage to have a life.
Men aren't going to care that you're successful if you're a selfish, materialistic, person. Likewise, they aren't going to want to get trapped having kids with you either.
You're not exactly coming off like a great catch, but you want one.
(i.e. spirituality, professional income, graduate degree, family oriented, monogamous,attractive, intelligent, in good shape, drug and STD free, not previously married and no children and of course, no criminal record or bad credit).
My advice would be to word your requirements to sound more inviting. As it reads I do not know one availible man who meets all your requirements and I am surrounded by Professional well paid men.
You are right in the age range that I typically look at, and if I saw your post I would most likely bypass it just do to the way it reads. I easily meet those requirements except the age range you posted later, 38 to my 40, and listing a graduate degree requirement, I only have a 4 year degree (Aerospace Engineer here), but I guarentee I make more than 95% of the people I know with the extra 2 years of college.
I know a lot of available women in their 30's and many would just be happy with a nice good looking guy that has a good income. Of course the very attractive women will have their pick of well off men. These will be your competition.

I prefer older men, therefore 40 years old is perfectly fine. Perhaps I came across as a little neurotic in some of my posts. My apologies, in person, I'm very laid back. Are you presently in Arizona? I was raised in Scottsdale.
I'm closing this thread before it gets any more out of hand. Will clean it up later and re-open it if it's warranted.
