What’s the dating scene like for a 39 year old, divorced dad of 2 kids

[Anonymous]

OP sounds like a needy man. Everything about you screams “needs validation and acceptance”. As a guy who has always had a knack for women (prior to marrying my wife of course), my advice to you is to please work on this OP — it’s often highly subconscious but most women that are worth dating can sniff out a needy man relatively quickly.

Yeah, no.

And stop calling women girls.

It's true, about 1/3 of all divorced men end up remarrying women at least 6 years younger. 1/5 marries a woman at least 10 years younger their second time around

Have you ever been a single woman in your late twenties? I have, and I would never have dated a 39 year old, let alone a divorced 39 year old with two kids. There are childless men under 35 who are in good shape and make good money. You guys are delusional.

If a man's sole criterion is finding a much younger woman, then sure, he can probably find one. But she might be an obese high school dropout with three kids by two different men. A never married childless educated woman in her twenties doesn't think a divorced dad nearing forty is a catch. Sorry.

Disaggregate your data by education and location, you will likely not find the bulk of successful DC late twenty-somethings give him the time of day. He might be appealing to a late twenty something with few other prospects.

Statistics also say that second marriages have a terrible success rate.

Exactly. I remember dating in my late twenties and early thirties. I met a couple of successful, fit men around my age who were divorced after unwise starter marriages. They were mortified. I feel so badly for eligible young women now, having to weed through all these old divorced dads who think they have a chance.

We are all so glad you saved yourself for your cats and whomever you married in the gray twilight of your middle-age years. Now, you can look back (with the help of your meds) to courting in your twenties and early thirties when the world was new and fresh and full of men home from fighting the Great War.

Your post is not clear. Were the men mortified to be divorced or mortified to date you? Or both?

But so what? How is that relevant to my original point that a 39 year old who is fit and with good income can easily date a nice looking late 20s girl?

I did date a 39 yo at 26 (and later married him) and I would not have touched him with a 10 foot pole if he were divorced, let alone divorced with kids! That is a HARD dealbreaker.

Why are you so triggered by the idea that a young woman with her whole life ahead of her might not want a much older man with an ex wife and children? If you had a daughter who was, say, 27, maybe in med school, maybe a junior associate at a reputable law firm, maybe working toward a PhD, attractive, fit, interesting, and she told you that she was seeing a nearly forty year old man with two children, would you honestly be happy for her?

Why are you so hateful toward women who don't stroke your ego online?

Sort yourself out. It's pathetic.

Well, you can find statistics that show that divorced men remarry younger women, and I can find you stats that will show you that those marriages will crash and burn. Understand, boy?
