[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Married man over 50 here:

While I’m not dating and not in the market, I’ve talked about what I would do if (god forbid) something happened to DW.

First of all, there’s no second marriage. Period. I want to hang out and have fun, which includes sex. If you don’t want those things or you do want to get married, I’m not for you.

Also, a PP is right. Where women had the advantage in their late teens and 20’s, that dynamic slowly shifts in the opposite direction over time and age. While the other PP who says older women are juggling 5 men on the apps may be right about some, I know that’s not universally true.

The endgame isn’t necessarily sex on the first date, but men in their 50’s have greater agency in their choices.[/quote]
I’m a 48 y.o. woman, have been on a dating app for about 10 days. After removing the age requirements, I received a lot of likes from the young guys, as young as 19! Today I’m going out with a very athletic and enthusiastic 29 y.o. man, an engineer. Who cares about men in their 50s if they can date someone young. [/quote]

Enjoy being pumped and dumped.[/quote]

It appears though that financially sound divorced  men over 50 are also just looking for sex. So it’s better to be pumped and dumped by younger men - no point for a woman to date older [/quote]

It is vastly more likely that an over 50 man is looking for a LTR with an over 50 woman than that a 19-29 year old man is looking for an LTR with an over 50 woman.[/quote]

Obviously, I date men my age or slightly older for LTR/marriage. But if a senior citizen male tells me he’ll never remarry, I’m out in a a few seconds !

I was just responding to the dude above who said he only looked for casual. He needs to get used to pay for younger sugar babies for that, of dare not so attractive/fat 50+ women. Good looking women have a string of younger lovers [/quote]

Would you even want a relationship with a senior citizen male?  You could still enjoy their company without legal and family entanglements if you liked them.  The risk of them getting sick and needing caretaking, or having complicated families or finances, is probably too great for marriage to make sense. [/quote]

Older women are more likely to go bankrupt than older men. Getting married to "a senior citizen male" is more likely to get you out of financial trouble than get you into it.[/quote]

My mom had two friends who married later in life to men 20 years older. Both got quickly wiped out financially when their husbands developed debilitating illnesses that required home nursing care or a LTC facility. They went from middle class singles to barely scraping by. [/quote]

OK and I personally know two older divorced women who were wiped out financially by their own debilitating illnesses that required going into an LTC facility. Literal medical bankruptcy. There are more women than men in LTC because... the men die.[/quote]

It makes no sense for women to marry much older unless he’s wealthy and can “make up” financially for her devoting the last active years to care for him.

Ideally women in their 50s should marry 5–10 years economically equal younger men so they can age together [/quote]

At 50 I don't want to sleep with a 60 years old woman. When is 80, i am 70 yikes![/quote]
