I am the one who has been divorced a few years. I know. I don’t need a warning. Also, I don’t date divorced men. I don’t need to. Never married men are available. I date late 30s. I am never remarrying. |
Any of them wants to marry you though? |
Be careful with those perpetual bachelors. There is a reason that they are single. Check their background, they may be lying about not being married or they have been in jail for a decade. |
Sigh... Men cannot win. |
| The single one do seem to be losers. It comes out after a few drinks at the bar. I got one who's marriage was in trouble way before we met. They even separated for a year. I will give him plenty of space because I need my space. He is 3 years younger and sex is great. |
| I am 54 and married and I get interest from men. Mostly fat old men, but they definitely show interest. |
This. They are emotionally defunct / pedos / mommies boys / horrible individuals you'll run a mile from |
I do not want to get married. I never wanted to. I did in my 30s and it was the biggest mistake. Marriage has no appeal to me. I dumped a guy in my 20s I dated for 6 years because he would not stop talking about getting married and proposed a few times. I am not getting married. A man who wants to marry you is not a prize. |
| Why aren’t you interested in any of the guys? |
| I'm a 43 F and have no problem dating. I don't want marriage (been there done that). I don't want any more kids (mine is almost grown and I'm done raising kids). Hell I don't even want a relationship with a man who has very young kids. I don't see me struggling to find dates now or in the future. |
That is nonsense. |
This all may be true but you speak about the guy you dated in your 20s as if he is a pathetic loser you “dumped” because he wanted to marry after a six year relationship. His expectations were not unreasonable. |
They are always more interested than I am. I do not have the capacity for a relationship. I don’t have time. It is too much to deal with. The point if that if I wanted one, I am sharing that I can find it. I look younger, which probably helps. |
He was not a loser. I never said that. I did not want to get married and in my 20s, that was not an unreasonable position to have. Too young. He was the best relationship I had but I am still glad we did not get married. Marriage is not for me. I see no benefit and only drawbacks. I did it and hated it. |
Exactly! I do not know why people can’t wrap their heads around this (OP here). |
