[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A man who is 35, in general, wants a woman who can have children.  He is not going to want to be in a serious relationship with a woman in her 40s for this reason, so if he is attracted to the older woman, it's going to be a sex/short-term thing.

Now hoards of posters will respond to say that younger men all yearn to date and marry a woman too old to give them a family, but they are wrong.  There are exceptions, but for the most part, you need to be looking at men who already have kids or are older, if you want a real relationship.

Otherwise, just have fun.[/quote]

I mean I'm the op. [b]My 44-year-old cousin just gave birth. I think it's pretty ignorant of men to view wonen as birthing machines. They want a family so badly they can adopt or get a surrogate. [/b]Also, another reason this ticks me off is because I was in a long relationship with a man in my thirties who never discussed children but he wanted to get married but he never mentioned children so he would cheat and since he never mentioned them, I never thought about them either. I wanted to have kids with someone I love but for me love comes before kids so I want to be in love with someone before thinking of having a family and I would think a man who's over 35 thinks the same thing if they are mature enough which it seems most are not.[/quote]

This is not how it works, and it is very selfish.  A man who wants to have his own children with his wife is "pretty ignorant" for not being just as open to marrying a 40+ women because he can just..."adopt or get a surrogate" if the woman can't conceive?  It isn't "viewing women as birthing machines" for him to want kids with a wife, to want a traditional family.

How is it selfish? You have to be in love before you get married or have a family right? So people fall in love with others who are completely different from them either in religion, race or age. And yes any man has that option to pick whatever woman they want, even one they might not have deep feelings for so why would they [b]assume or disrespect a woman over 40 [/b]and just view her as a booty call?? [b]Sounds like they just want to use and abuse. [/b][/quote]

You think that a man who wants a family with a wife, and thus steers away from dating seriously dating women in their 40s is showing "disrespect" to those women and that he just wants to "use and abuse"?

I really think therapy might be a good choice.  [/quote]
