[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Married to the same man for 30 years, we're happy and going strong, I'm 56 and cannot imagine being back "out there" willingly trying to compete against women half my age for the attention of men my age, and thinking my money and job are what they would value in a woman. Men value youth, beauty, and fertility. If my marriage were over tomorrow, I would call it a day and focus on my kids, and hobbies. No way I'm going to pretend I still have "it". Those days are over. I would be happy, but realistic about where I am in life. [/quote]

I’m a divorced woman who is dating. Never has a man been interested in me because of my job. They only seem to care about money insofar as my ability to pay every now and then when we go out/live the same lifestyle they do re types of restaurants, activities, vacations, etc.

In my experience, divorced men in their 50s want what everyone else wants - someone they are attracted to who they can spend time with and do stuff with. Sex stuff, fun stuff, etc. Its not hard, humans like companionship and having someone to share the ups and downs of life with.

The bitter divorcees posting on DCUM don’t reflect my experience in the dating world.[/quote]
