| I'm 47, and recently started dating again after a 24-year relationship. I'm shocked how old men my age look. I myself don't have wrinkles, saggy skin or gray hair. I'm fit and full of energy. But these guys, geeze... I don't want to date them myself! |

| OP here again: I'd rather be single than date a man to whom I'm not physically attracted. So many of my single friends try to make it work with men they're not attracted to... That's just repulsive. |

| Expand your age range downward, just like men do. |

| I think most men stop caring how they look after they get married the first time and have kids. The single 40-somethings don't look as bad. |

| You are almost 50, lmao |

Hahaha!!
I hear you loud + clear OP! All the guys in our age range tend to look like old men already. Or at least the ones that I run into. Another strike against getting older! *sigh* |

-1 Not the OP but what is funny about turning fifty? We ALL age, it comes after even the best of us. Some will even say ->> the luckiest of us too. |

Nothing funny about fifty. PP was just reminding OP that an almost 50yo woman mocking older men is laughable. She is mocking herself. |

Then don't. Live in peace and enjoy other aspects of life. |

| If you go for younger men, they'll find your aging repulsive as menopause is around the corner. |

They don't notice anything. They go on and on how they can get it done. Having no idea that it shrank and lost feeling. |

| Hmm, I'm 46 and I find my male peers to be attractive (as is my husband). But I'm not looking to sleep with any of them (except my husband, who was somehow blessed with almost wrinkle-free skin, which is slight infuriating) so maybe it would be different if I were. Also, if you're dating in DC, that's the smartest but ugliest group of people. |

| Yea, dating in your 40s is wild. The pool is MUCH bigger since you can go from 20s-60s men. But older men look pretty awful, and the younger ones are immature and obnoxious. |
