Do mid 30s divorced women with children have any hope of finding someone in their age bracket?

[Anonymous]

Of course! I dated a ton, when I first got divorced and then realized that I actually preferred being single.

I was 32 widowed with a 8 and 3 year old. I married a 39 year old never married chiropractor who never had kids. It does happen, and I had a number of men who were interested before I remarried. I was normal weight, fit (ish), girl next door looking, with a decent career.

And you know what? Your personality and character mattered to him more than your career. It's odd you would mention your job.

I think she's just saying she met a guy with a decent career.

Agreed!

I have a single, divorced mom friend. She’s always completely frazzled and can’t believe she has to do this or that for her Kids (I can’t find the time with work. It’s hard being single!) but miracle of miracles! she always has time to date men and get laid.

You don’t need a man to be happy right now. Your KIDS DONT NEED A MAN to be happy right now. They wanted their FAMILY. Not some guy who wants you in bed and boosts your confidence.

You can't pour from an empty cup. Your friend and he OP absolutely need to be happy now, it's ultimately better for everyone around them.

Yes. 37, 2 kids here. Men are interested. I'm not unattractive.

I guess I mentioned it because I wasn’t looking at a man as a plan, and I had my act together, was doing ok on my own, not desperate kind of vibe.

Not easy but it can happen but it will likely be serendipity, not dating sites.

Is their any hope for them or will they have to settle for much older men?

With some luck some handsome, wise and wealthy man in his 40s or 50s will "settle" for you

No, it isn't. It was an utterly normal, relevant comment.

I "settled" for a wonderful man in his 50s (now 60s). I was adamant that I did not want any more children after my divorce nor was a keen to get seriously involved with someone with same age kids. His kids are 10-15 years older than mine and it works. Everyone likes each other but no rivalry "who gets more" because they are at totally different stages of life.

I've been single since 28 - getting married soon now at 33! Met a bunch of frogs, but finally found someone that loves me and my child. He's absolutely wonderful, never married and my age.

LOL, this is some hilarious projection. Where in the post does it say she's frazzled and is anything other than a great mother? Most likely, divorced folks have a few days per week/month without their kids and that's a TON of time for dating.
