honeyhousephotography.comI started dating men without childrenThe answer has been to date men without children, which I've found to be easier, as I only have time to date when my children are with their father. AdvertisementI prefer to keep dating simpleIn the five years since I've been single, I'd say a third of the guys I've been interested in have been single dads, and two-thirds have not. After deleting the dating apps a few years ago, these days I only date men I'm already friends with — even if they live in other countries. I've found that they tend to be more casual in terms of relationships than single dads who are usually searching for a life partner. I'd rather my dating life was simple.

Billionaires like Google's Eric Schmidt are betting big on AI through their family offices. Insider talked to family office insiders to learn how to find real deals amid the hype cycle.

But they are still circumspect, he said, as family offices typically prioritize long-term wealth preservation over aggressive growth. "Hype cycles tend to imply immediate returns, which is contrary to how family offices usually think," said Hsu, whose fund counts the Pritzker family as investors.
