I know, right? Divorced dad wants younger good looking woman to date / marry, must not have any kids or interest in them. Ok, then why would she date you? |

| Which crazy woman wants to parent another woman’s kids? |
That pretty much sums it up. Really, the whole thing smacks of OP wanting an accessory with a vagina rather than a real relationship with a fully-formed adult. I totally get not wanting more kids of your own, but it’s a bit rich to rule out women with their own children because you don’t want to be bothered dealing with exactly the same complications you want a partner to deal with from you. If other people with children aren’t worth bothering with, why should anyone find you worth bothering with? |
| A younger woman willing to accept what you offer may have problems of her own. If you think you have found this unicorn proceed with caution. It may be a donkey in costume. |

You’re 45 and cringing at dating women your own age. Okay, everyone likes youth, I get it.
What are you offering so that someone 10 years younger wants to date you? Not much. You made some weird comments about not wanting to be a sugar daddy. From day one you’re already ruling out sharing your income which is one of the easiest ways men can make the age difference palatable. You’re also ruling out children which are almost universally desired. And on top of that she has to give up all the benefits of a childfree lifestyle because you have children. So, what exactly are you offering? You say you’re fit and attractive. Okay, I believe you. But realistically a guy her age will be more fit and more attractive than you — AND he won’t have the baggage of an ex wife, kids and being old. |
+1. His pool is already narrow. He should focus on 43-50 and kids should not be a factor. A woman in her 30s can do better. I always feel like men look for women like shopping for a piece of furniture. Look for a connection first...much more likely to find it with women his own age due to baggage. |
Because a man in his 40s isn't yet ravaged by age and is substantially more interesting than an average 20-year old. You know perfectly well that it isn't a huge dick and endless stamina that really pleases women in bed. |

Maybe if you are super rich and fit. And have all your hair.
Otherwise...lol good luck buddy. |
his kids are old though so you won't get any of the cute stuff. You'll just get teenage drama and attitude and expense. |
believe it or not there are people who are not you and not in your friend group, and who want things other than what you and your friends want |
If your DH has money, then yes, he will find one. Actually she will find him. |
again, the fact you can only see this in terms of a young woman who wants a sugar daddy, or an older woman who has "given up in trying to have kids," speaks more to your narrow experiences than it does to op's prospects i'm not saying op is a great catch - but i am saying that many available women aren't just young and looking for a baby or money, or old and dried up spinsters who don't see much point in wanting anything in life since they didn't have kids |

I’m an early 40s man dating in DC after divorce and with kids.
Leaving aside whether OP was honest in describing himself (doubtful but possible), a man who does fit that description would find what he’s looking for. It may take some time but it would happen eventually. It doesn’t matter if you would never date him; there are women out there who would. |
+1. Am I the only one on here old enough to remember Ann Nicole Smith?
