As a 40 something divorced guy who’s spent some time dating and studied it like I’ve studied R/E, I can say that she represents a category me and my divorced buddies like to call “economic refugees.” The symptoms and mindset are not unlike FB’s thinking R/E will rebound to 2006 prices any day if they can just hold on a little longer and maybe refi. In her case or those in her category, she thinks an educated and wealthy man will be along any day to pay the freight for her life, what she fails to realize it that it isn’t 1985 any longer, when those men were chasing her. I’ve studied some statistics and single women in their 20’s and 30’s are outnumbered or evenly matched by single men, after 40 and 50 it gets out of proportion, while the population isn’t so drastically different, but for singles it is. For every 100 single women in their 50’s and 60’s, there are only 70 single men. Plus men in their 20’s marry women 1.5 years younger than them, men in their 30’s marry 3.1 younger but it goes to 9 years difference in the 50’s and 60’s, so her statistical sugar daddy is is 56 years old. Men that age aren’t fired up about a women with three small kids, for the most part they are past that phase in life. Of those that wouldn’t mind, the more marketable women are those who did downsize, who are responsible and who are not at the edge of a financial cliff, complete with the frazzled personality from the experience. Nothing is less attractive than a women who needs you as opposed to one that wants you. Plus the last guy is paying 75k a year in child support, 1,600 a week, older dudes with money who have danced that dance tend to be wary of those who have already skewered a man, the one dog you don’t want to pet is the one with blood still dripping from it’s teeth.
