Beta Males Not Needed
Further dramatic changes in the mating market:
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/10/fashio...ef=fashion
Rachel Hope is 5-foot-9 and likes yoga, dance and martial arts. A real estate developer and freelance writer in Los Angeles, Ms. Hope, 41, is seeking a man who lives near her, is healthy and fit, and “has his financial stuff together,” she said. Parker Williams, the 42-year-old founder of QTheory, a charity auction company also in Los Angeles, would seem like a good candidate. A 6-foot-2 former model who loves animals, Mr. Williams is athletic, easygoing, compassionate and organized.
Neither Ms. Hope nor Mr. Williams is interested in a romantic liaison. But they both want a child, and they’re in serious discussions about having, and raising, one together. Never mind that Mr. Williams is gay and that the two did not know of each other’s existence until last October, when they met on Modamily.com, a Web site for people looking to share parenting arrangements.
Mr. Williams and Ms. Hope are among a new breed of online daters, looking not for love but rather a partner with whom to build a decidedly non-nuclear family.
Nice guys really are losing out when women who are clearly over the hill aren't even willing to settle and are going for gay sperm donors instead of building a normal family.....

I knew a woman who was considering this sort of arrangement. There's a whole Single mothers by choice" organisation and community. In the end she had the good sense not to go ahead. Many of the women she met who did go ahead were not only exhausted (obviously), but teetering on the edge of some sort of breakdown. It's one thing going ahead and doing this if you are rich and famous and can afford all the child minding help you can pay for. But the average older woman (and 99.9% are late 30's or older) who contemplates this sort of thing isn't in any sort of condition to make it work.
