If you rule out women with kids you are ruling out a lot of people you might be compatible with. Plus, a lot of times the guy has kids too. Bottom line, men are in the same situation as women when it comes to dating someone with kids and if you don’t find it surprising that high quality women get involved in such situations you shouldn’t find it surprising that high quality men do too.

Men in thier 40s and 50s still primarily date childless late 20s and 30s

This is not true, it’s some kind of weird MRA fantasy. I’m a single man dating in my 50s so I should know.

Older men have exactly the same ability to find childless partners as older women do — there are plenty of younger childless men who will date older women.

Then you must not be rich and are weak

LOL ok dude. Evidence of weird MRA fantasy life right here, this is what toxic masculinity looks like.

But an older women with kids? No way.

If she is kind, healthy, gorgeous, eductated, sexy, loving, and authentic - yes. Even with kids. Absolutely a way.

How many older women are like this IRL? Look at all the threads on DCUM lamenting middle age spread and bitterness over ex-husbands

WHOA. I have to confess I can't read this whole thread, but I just turned 50 and I'm a divorced mom. I am kind, a good friend and great mom, healthy and fit, pretty, and look much younger (gorgeous seems like a BIG word), educated (and unlike you, I can spell it correctly), very sexy (post divorce at least), very loving, and very authentic. And I am engaged to an amazing man who is three years older than me.

Life is good.

My friends are similar to me - or better! And they have no problems getting remarried or dating great men. We all have children. Frankly, I don't really relate well to women who haven't been married and/or don't have children.

Men generally do not, so they are perceived as less threatening to the original family. A step dad is like this benevolent friendly extra uncle. A step mom, even well meaning, can really mess things up.

Step-sons do not think this. On some level they hate they guy who is fcking their mom.

I think a guy who wants to get involved with a woman who's had kids is kinda desperate and not the cream of the crop anyway. So it's no surprise that the woman's kids don't like him.

Unless of course their Dad is a dirt bag, then step Dad is the coolest guy on Earth. But there are no abusive Dads out there...

I can never understand a man who wants to raise another man's children.

I don't think I would have ever truly found an unselfish man without the fact that loving & putting my child first is an unselfish act. Any other type of love that I've experienced was only superficial. Men that nit picked and couldn't love beyond themselves.
