[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was divorced from age 35 to 45, raising a daughter by myself.  I dated frequently.  Here are some of my observation.

Many women felt sorry for me having to raise my daughter.  Funny,  I always felt blessed that I had the opportunity.

Many women envisioned themselves as a replacement mother.  Thank you, but no thank you. My daughter has a mother.

It was obvious that many wanted to be married, but did not want to be a wife, companion, friend, and soul mate.

Many women wanted be the victim-- clearly no insight that their attitudes had a lot to do with the breakup of their marriage or explained why they were single.

Many women wanted a meal ticket.

Many women had so much baggage that they needed a UHaul  trailer.

All that being said, I dated many lovey women 28-50.  The ones I enjoyed the most were content and happy with themselves, accomplished, self reliant, adventuresome, and just seemed to enjoy the moment.  Finally found for one the moments turned into years + we have 2 boys of our marriage

I guess, but a do over family BEGINNING at age 45 is my version of hell. [/quote]

OMG.  YES!  Our neighbor had 3 kids in college, 1 in HS and was 50.  He knocked up his 40-something AP with twins and is starting all OVER again.  I actually chuckled with his ex-wife.  That is punishment right there.  Holy f*ck I love being a mother, but at my age if someone said back to newborn, preschool, etc, etc., when I'm getting ready to live footloose and fancy free at empty stage...shoot me right then and there.[/quote]
+1.  DH and I are in our 40s and our kids are wrapping up college.  I couldn’t imagine starting kids in the 40s.  Footloose and fancy free!  Love it![/quote]
