Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
While working on Wall Street, but nowhere near that 2m yearly income, I did see the wealthier mostly men who were divorced have no issues on the dating scene and typically the 50 year olds were with 30 something year old females of which some had children and some did not.
Some men in this category who are more married to their careers might not mind the whole children setting, as long they ended up getting what they want, whatever that may be.
This is exactly whats going on. I think some don't like hearing it.
As far as the 99% comment upthread, this is true for the 20's and 30 year olds. Ask the women that age how men react when they find out that she has kids. I know I've discussed the topic with several hundred. 99% of guys bail immediately or as Dtail mentioned, get what they want and then bail. The belief that men who date women in that age group prefer them to have kids is comical.
If we are talking about retirement age women, I'd say the vast majority of 70 year old men don't care if a woman has kids, if that is what was being disputed. But it's just a guess. I have no idea what's going on in that age group.
And I can only speak for the area I live in. Your hometown may do things differently.
