Darling, my thread is your thread.
:wave 36 here and married.
I would agree that single women of a certain age are pickier, and have spent more time head down developing their careers. They have worked with male colleagues, expect to be treated like an equal, and can smell misogyny from across the room. What I have noticed is that many of these women are now happily dating men they met on eHarmony. Seriously, I know of three of the top off my head in serious relationships, one is getting married. If these ladies are looking for casual sex it's easy to find, but they want full blown romantic long term relationships that are tailor fit. A few years ago that was unheard of but the online dating sites are making looking for a needle in a haystack as easy as checking your email.

There are theories that women want a certain kind of man when ovulating and a different kind when they arent.

more than likely, she's set her standards to be that which she holds or believes herself held to, and turns down everyone who doesn't meet them. Women only have a "problem" with men if they choose to, for whatever reason they may have.

ooh, can I get "intimidated" too? 
To paraphrase Rodney Dangerfield (or was it W.C. Fields?): "I have impossibly high standards for women-they have to like me!"
not a loser-"Victory Challenged"!

oh hi guys :wave
sorry, I was at lunch :toothless
hmmm. me. over 40 (shit, pushing 50) relatively successful job wise/house/financially (save the bouts of unemployment here and there), not toooooo shabby looking, not that bright but not dumb either, gots me baggage but knows it (don't deal with it too well all the time, but still), caring, generous and thoughtful (except when not) and for the most part, ALL I DO IS INTIMIDATE MEN :cry
dunno where I am going with this, but yeah, I don't get asked out too often, never did when I was much younger either. For whatever reason. Or all of the above
I'm rambling. Bottom line is, I have been told by many male friends that I am too intimidating, I need to be more of a wall flower
Two words to say to that
FUCK THAT :x

I could believe that.
Maybe she ovulates she looks for a douchebag with a bigger penis? hahaha

Maybe to some people, it's not about money and "success" (in terms of money). Maybe some people don't like people who's goal in life is to accumulate as much crap as possible and instead want someone who enjoys life, enjoys similar thing and who is a decent human being. I don't know the women in question, but maybe they are unpleasant, bossy, unethical, dishonest. One can be smart, hard working and a good person and not be wealthy. Could it be they're hung up on that? It's not necessarily about intimidation either, maybe some men don't want to date their "mom".

of course there's also this: would a man turn away an attractive woman solely because her politics didn't match his? Highly doubtful. But there are women who'd lose interest in a heartbeat if philosophical views were different, or if he hated cats.

Bah. By time a woman has reached 35 she has developed too much dignity and self respect. Ruined. Just absolutely ruined.

let sleeping bitches lie
nope.
finding a decent one who isn't a lying sack of shit is another matter. though somehow, some us manage to luck out and get one hell of an upgrade.
jess sayin'

CHUM
fresh fish in stock.....
betties in the 35-40 range, who are successful, have more than likely focused on career over relationship.....dudes of the same age range prolly have done the same.....
in short....single peoples in the aforementioned age range who:
a) never had a long term relationship, or b) given up a relationship for career/perceived material success are simply relationship 'retarded'....
they do not possess the skills to make it work - for those of you who've been in long term relationships...y'all know it's pretty hard freakin' work sometimes.....

Men are intimidated by successful women.
