This, and no baggage from divorce, daddy issues, or anything else.

As you have noticed, a lot of guys put "fit" in their description of what they want in a woman. Most America women (and men) are not fit, especially in middle age. So that removes about 70% of the population right there.

Kind of like women who want a man who is over 6 feet tall, makes at least $500k/year, etc.

I thought about making a list of things that middle aged men must have, but the DCUM women would only answer "money" - so......

Wait, so you don’t want a lecture everytime you say something funny? Don’t get married.

This feels accurate. I guess because most women don’t enjoy racist, misogynist, fat shaming, homophobic “jokes” and hope to enlighten you before you embarrass yourself or lose your job.

After 15 years of marriage, my husband has a simple list:

“I want an older, independent woman who takes care of me. I want someone who cooks for me, cleans for me, and never asks for sex.”

There you have it.

Red flag. Men who “joke” all the time are generally. . . not funny.

Woman here. I was getting depressed at all the "pretty" "fit" and "not fat" until I got to this one and now I'm getting excited because that's me! And there's plenty of gravy!

The key question is, who are these middle aged men? There are very few who are single and desirable IME.
