[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My requirements really aren't all that demanding. Someone who takes care of herself and dresses well. Educated and financially stable. Physically active.

I'm definitely looking for women who aren't lying about their age. I meet a lot of them who don't look at all like their OLD photos or the age given in their profile. There have been a number of cases where I would have liked her if she'd been honest about her age, and posted recent photos, but I couldn't ignore the fact that she was lying about it. So, don't do that.

I still have one kid at home (DD in high school). I keep meeting women who are already empty nesters and don't want to date someone who isn't an empty nester. That's my problem not theirs, of course. But I'm looking for someone who is OK with me having a kid 50/50.[/quote]

The issue is that users apply age cut offs in search. I had to reduce age by 2 years to avoid the cutoff but I disclose my actual age once we match. I look great for my age and post current photos, so never had issues with that.

And yes, men need to look for women who have similar life stage and schedule with kids. It would be unfair for her to stay alone  half weekends, if the man has kids and she doesn’t [/quote]

This is why I don't recommend men to date of they still have kids at home. I ran into this issue when I got into a serious relationship post divorce and we eventually broke up. She said she wanted to see me every weekend, but that was not possible because my son was a traveling athlete, my daughter had dance on top all other activities for them etc.

I may be wrong, but I think men are more likely to be okay if it was the other way around. If you can't see them every weekend it's okay for them. For a lot of women physical proximity is their love language.

Dating post divorce is very challenging for men who genuinely care about their kids. I think women have it easier because men aren't going to complain as much about lack of time together [/quote]
