[quote=Anonymous]43yo divorced dad here with 50/50 custody. I only date on the weeks my daughter is with her mom and would never sacrifice any kid event on my non-custody weeks (soccer, school events, etc) for dating.

Here is my experience after three years single. One caveat is that I a Black and have only dated Black/mixed women so ymmv.

If you have a good career and are attractive/in shape (not just average but really make an effort with weights, low body fat, updated wardrobe, etc) it is very easy to date women your own age who either have kids already or don't want them. Also easy to date women in their 20s who are not looking for marriage/kids any time soon. If you are really BigLaw there is no reason why you can't afford the kind of place that would impress someone who is 25 in a group house with six roommates. Sounds crass but its true.

Women in their 30s looking to get married and have kids will want nothing to do with you if you are honest about your situation and it is not right to string them along.

Also, the only reason to wait like some PPs are advising you is if you plan to use that time to really focus on your children, your career or getting in better shape to date.
