The Perfect Man

4 years older, highly intelligent, successful, ambitious, relatively wealthy - he owns property... is athletic, works out... plays a team sport

single, happy, no skeletons in the closet... a couple of long term relationships under the belt - still great friends with both exes

sound like the perfect man right?

Except you should replace he with she

or more specifically - me

It's the strangest thing that I sit here wondering if the boy knows that I'm 4 years older than him, if he's figured out that I earn myself a very decent wage... and I haven't held back - the fact that I cruised through university on not one but two separate academic scholarships was revealed in a conversation we had...

and I can't help but wonder if he'd have a problem with it

stupid, isn't it? I can't think of any guy who's ever had to wonder if being slightly older, more academic and wealthier than a girl would be a cause for concern

it bites, it's sad, but that's the way it is. I need to wear a sign - insecure men need not apply.

toyboys who can cook are welcome :)

i'm afraid of becoming a lonely intimidating women myself...

will every guy find it intimidating though? My last serious boyfriend was proud of everything and anything I'd achieved, and would joke about me earning more than him... surely there's more like him... somewhere?

I don't fear loneliness though - maybe because most of my friends are also single, so I'm distressingly celibate... but not stuck for friendship :)
