I cannot even tell you how blown away I have been in the best way by the people I have met so far. I actually almost made a detailed post about it to give people in similar boats hope.
I'm 47 years old divorced man with 2 kids and I have been surprised by my successes on the dating market as well. However I am still single and I need to figure out why I keep attracting women who want to be married and have children. I have no desire to remarry and have more kids so I'm choosing to remain single.
I am a 47-year-old divorced woman with two kids and I’m not dating you because when I date, I date men who are in their early 30s who don’t have children. I’m not blending any families so I have no interest in a man who is my age who has kids when I can date much younger without those complications. I won’t ever remarry so there’s really no reason to date anybody my age. I constantly have about four men who are constantly wanting attention who are early 30s. no reason to go higher. (I don’t sleep with multiple people at once— or even at all right now—but what I’m saying is that I have no lack of interest of younger men without kids, which is just easier to deal with.
I guess congrats. For the life of me, why would early 30s men want to date (where you aren't sleeping with them) someone that is 47 with children? Are you paying for everything?
I am attractive and look a lot younger. I have not paid for anything. Why? They want to sleep with me. My kids are not a factor. no man ever has met my kids. When I do date, it’s on free time without kids. I have slept with men this age in the past (one at a time and usually for about a usually for about a year to 18 months) and even slightly younger—and I’m the one who cuts it off—not them.
No man is pursuing women two decades older unless they can't do better. Sorry, but you are just an easy piece of a$$ to them. Or you are paying for everything.
I look better than most women 15 years younger. I pay for nothing. Not an easy piece of …I can compete with younger women. That is all.
I’m dying to see the online profile of this poster who always brags about looking better than 30 yo !
I'd show you if my name was not there. My direct reports do not look like me. If a man had a choice, it would be me every time. People younger than 20 and older than 50 always mistake me for early 30s. I am not. But yes, I look it.
Younger than 20? I have older teenagers - they don’t have any meaningful understanding of the differences between 30, 40, and 50. Did you at that age?
I meant younger than 30. More like age 27-55 often mistake me for early 30s. Work setting. All the time. Both late 20s people to mid 50s people are shocked when I tell them my age. Most people assume I am not old enough for my job. They think I have less experience than I do.
Lol, and you really believe that?
"Young" people have no idea what 30, or 35, or 40 looks like. None. I'm a 44 year old high school teacher and last week a student said something like, "But you're in your late 20s, right? Or early 30s?" It isn't because I look like I'm in my late 20s or early 30s. It is because a 17 year old just sees "old, but grandma." They have no idea and probably believe that 44 year olds have white hair and wrinkles. Similarly, the early 20s student teachers look 17 to me: they don't look different from my juniors and seniors. To them, I could be anywhere from 30 to 45: they don't know what ageing looks like.
Also, sorry to tell you, but people lie. They are flattering you. In guessing age, NOBODY ever says the age they actually think you are. They say a much younger age and wait for you to correct. This is a kind of etiquette.
Finally, my son worked in a liquor store during grad school, and he said the middle aged women always used to act so flattered and pleased when he asked for ID, but...he HAD to ask for ID, no matter what the customer looked like. It was very obvious to him that these women were middle aged, but they believed that being asked for ID meant they looked 10 or 20 years younger.
