"?DEAR MARGO: I am a 38-year-old successful female who is emotionally and financially secure. I have been told that I am very attractive and intimidate men. I would like to get married but am thought to be too independent"

I knew you were going to say that!
Translation: "No way in hell am I going to let any man tell me what to do. But other than that, why doesn't anyone ask me out?"
You can say a thing to a woman that has several interpretations, and she will take the meanest one in reference to herself. She will store the feeling in her memory, not what was said.
At a later time, when something similar thing comes up, she will recall the memory of the stored feeling and remind you of what you said before, what you said being what you must have said that would make her feel that way.

Hi, I am an attractive left winger, with an MBA from Harvard. I am 38, and make 225,000 a year. Hey buddy, top that! Anyway, I would like to get married, but all I run into are emasculated men who are intimidated by my success. Maybe I should date a conservative, but my friends would ride me if I did that. But I really would toss this all away for the right man, but I never seem to click with the ones I like. I mean, men sense my power, but I deny them my essence.
And the gals just keep getting better and better!!
Well, that's just the craziest thing I ever heard. :)
Myself... I prefer one-legged women. Not because I'm kinky... but only because they are slower moving than the rest of the herd.
Women generally do not date "down" in social status so a smart guy will realize that. She might decide to have a fling with the rough guy driving the truck or motorcycle but likely it is a passing thing. In the end she will stay within her circles or aspire to higher status.
G'mornin Doc. I'm sure the columnist is real, it's just that I think the letter is phony, and Margo is answering a phony letter - thus: a phony letter writer and phony letter answering babe.
Women can have babies pretty safely now up until they're in their mid 40s today.
Lol - Ride 'em cowboy!
And what about a 38 year old never been married before man?
"Unfortunately, this woman is one of those who has been taught that housewife/mother=slave."
That's the issue so much as the growth potential in a relationship when a woman gives up her career and becomes a housewife and mother.
Good observation. She's done the sisterhood thang, and all she has to show for it is sisterhood. What she wants now is a sweatin' grindin' whumpa thumpa bumpa thang with a MAN, but the only ones she can ask for advice are her sister-hoods, and that isn't going to help her.
Did you ever see the movie Beautiful Girls? You know Michael Rapaport's character? Did they base it on you?
There seems to be some truth to "Men marry down, women marry up." She's not likely to marry "down" because she thinks her own snooty crowd will make fun of her. If she wants a man, all she needs to do is go get one. But she can't rid herself from her own image of "success." She's trapped, she doomed, and her biological clock is ringing so loud it's keeping the neighbors awake.
LOL - you need help.
I'm sorry, I haven't seen the movie. If they base a character on me it would be something like Belushi in "Animal House."
You might give it a rental. Why did you post this article anyway? Just so you could post pictures of women to drool over?
