I'm wondering how they define "good". I'm curious for selfish reasons, of course, being a 40+ bachelor who has always wanted to be married but never seemed to be deemed "good".

It is an ever-changing definition hidden within woman's labyrinthine reasoning process.

Whatever it is, it's not the same as being "too good" which is the line this 40+ bachelor always got when putting my heart on the line for a girl. I'm also still trying to figure out why they get to cry while *I'm* getting rejected but I'm not supposed to cry myself.

Don't ruin a perfect record. I got married for the first (and only) time at 38. It was a disaster!

Women's definition of "good" generally involves:

• Makes significantly more money than her
• Taller
• No more than a few years older (unless very affluent)
• in good physical shape
• supportive of her goals
• not demanding she be supportive of HIS goals

For high-earning, older career-women, its hard to find somebody who meets these criteria. The supply of available 30-45 yo professional men is small, and they have more options. A professional man is more likely to marry a woman with greatly less income or education than the reverse. Since his pool of acceptable women is much larger, he is more likely to find somebody he likes, and not have to settle for a 40 yo professional woman with a chip epoxy-glued to her shoulder
