I'm mid-50s and have dated so many women who wasted their 40s trying to get commitment out of men. Relationships last 2-6 years, then dead-end, then get repeated. Plenty of those women are permanently broken because of their experiences. |

I am not interested in marriage. I am divorced. People always act like divorced women would be lepers in the dating pool…just not true. I have had men want a serious relationship…I don’t want one. I like long term FWB. Not interested in a serious relationship. No man is never meeting my kids. My post was about sheer attraction to 40s women because people assume that can’t get men for anything. Has nothing to do with marriage or kids at this age. |
The quality is excellent. I only date educated and successful men. |

Great. It's all in your head that this was ever an issue. Most women don't want to be you and in fact have to compete with people like you even though we want different things so I really could care less. |
Maybe she wants to bang and ghost. |
DP. It's "couldn't care less," unless you mean to say it bothers you. Though if you meant what you said about "in fact have to compete with people like you," I suppose I can see why you would be bothered by it. |
You say that like you think it’s a common or default goal for people? |
Because none of them could be aholes? |
Lol. The irony is delicious. What does it matter if you get attention from men you have no interest in? Is attention the end in itself? |
+1 if you’re a woman and also looking for hookups/FWB, it’s great! If you’re looking for a long term exclusive relationship leading to marriage, not so much. |
OP how long do you wait to ensure that they don't want to hit and run? There are a lot of middle age divorced men that just want to get laid, probably serial cheaters during their marriages, now they are off the chain. There are also a lot of younger guys (20's-30's) that pursue women in their 40's because they think they are super horny, seasoned and no commitment type of older women. Keep your eyes open OP. |
| Women in their mid-40’s are great. They’re not dealing with toddlers, many are very fit and in good shape, and they still love sex especially if they came out of a sexless marriage. LTR’s are in the future after they become empty nesters but they really enjoy male companionship. Women in their 30’s may be hotter but they can be far too busy with young kids to make it worth the effort. |
I did not say I did not have interest. I said that they are not losers because that is what people would assume. |
