It is worse than pitiful. It is a staggering lack of self-awareness and why there are so many angry women on DCUM. They complain that there are not enough good-looking men to go around, even when hot women their age are doing quite well in attracting quality men. They complain that divorced middle-aged men are broken, without any self-analysis of why they are middle-aged and on the market. |
| I don’t think women though are complaining as much about looks as personality and ability to even be a partner with someone. |
I don't have kids. I hit my pretty peak at 42, I'm a personal trainer, and I'm definitely way better in bed than I was in my twenties and early thirties. |
A guy in his early 50s who marries a woman in her late 30s and it “only” lasts 10-15 years is absolutely going to put that in the WIN column. No marriage is guaranteed to be permanent. An older guy already divorced knows this from bitter experience. If you might (and are likely to) get divorced anyway, might as well marry younger and hotter if you can. |
LMAO no you were NOT prettier at 42 than you were at 22. Sorry. It’s all downhill for all women after their early 20s, that’s inescapable biological fact. |
Statistically these marriages might be a "success" but it's a torturous divorcing after 10-15 years with kids. I was that "young chick 2nd wife" (and still pretty young to marry a 55+ man). The divorce on 16th year of marriage was acrimonious. My exH is depressed and angry in his early 60s. He's just not coming across as a happy person because his AP slept with him for money. Women don't pick you in that age for your looks, or good sex or any good qualities except for your wallet. Nobody wants to become a loner in their elderly years, particular men. It ages them fast, they become paranoid and die earlier than married men with a stability of a family |
Agree, but many women don't care to see that they only see $$$$$$ - then wonder why they aren't happy. LOL. And so it goes. |
Yeah, that is haggard - with botox and fillers, of course!
It. Looks. Horrible. |
it always amazed me how readily men pay for sex. Isn't it offensive and damaging to your own esteem to know that your 22 y.o. girlfriend is basically an expensive paid hooker? You wake up and look in the mirror and then jump into bed: do you really think she's enjoying your smelly breath and the scent of a 55 y.o. man's body? Men after 50 do have a different smell, somewhat sour. |
| When I started dating after my divorce I quickly realized that guys my age wanted to date younger even though I was attractive, fit etc. I had no problem attracting guys 10-15 years older but that was too much for me. So I went younger! My BF is 8 years younger than me but I think most people would guess that we are about the same age. Seeing a 50 year old guy with a 30 year old is creepy, just ego building arm candy. |
Don’t flatter yourself. No one would guess that you are the same age. However, the idea of an older woman dating a younger man is no longer a big deal. As for me, after divorce I initially dated someone 8 years younger than me. However, issues related to children at home led me to prefer dating my own age, where my children and my partner’s children were all in college and not living at home full-time. |
| Why do women even deal with men at all post divorce? |
Some of them don't. |
No one thinks you are the same age. |
