For some time I thought that this was a Dominican Man's issue, but after my divorce and with time I now know better. This article has many good points that I totally agree with!

Carolyn Kaufman, 33, has a doctorate [...] She is a perfect example of a woman who has everything except a date. "I have this crazy belief that I have the right to expect my potential partner to be at least as successful as I am, and to have as many things to offer as I do," she says.
Then there's the issue of time [...] are out nearly every night of the week at fund-raisers, benefits and business dinners. "The person I'm trying to find is just as busy as I am," says Mohr, 29. "If we're both that busy, when is the time when we're going to meet?" She says the men she does meet at these events are usually married.
Of course, you have heard all these excuses before, from women both successful and not – I'm too busy, there are no good men left, they're all married or gay, etc. But there's another factor at work for women at the top of their game: They're intimidating to men.
No matter how enlightened most men claim they are, few are ready to pair up with a woman who is more successful, better paid and better educated -- not to mention better traveled, more connected and more socially savvy than they are.
Anyway, I really posted this because I see this as growing trend not only here in the states but in my most recent trips to DR and spending time with career women there too.
What gives?!
