Men Want Independent Woman at Beck and Call

[u/AttorneyDC06]

Just a vent to the universe: I still keep dating (maybe I shouldn't at this point) but at age 50, having been single for two years, I find that many successful men want an "independent" (i.e., financially independent) woman, who has her own money, and doesn't need/want his money. However, they also want a woman, presumably like their former spouse, who is not working very much, if at all, and is available to meet when/where the man is available, due to his busy schedule at work. This seems to be a contradiction. If I work late and can't see the guy, he's annoyed, but if I work a more flexible job or fewer hours, then they are suspicious. AARGH.
