[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]

Agreed-   Try being a mid 50 divorced guy with young kids.  That has a small candidate pool. [/quote]

I went on a date with a guy who lied about his age by 9 years and neglected to mention his TWO year old child- he was 53. Extremely connected successful trial attorney but I burst out laughing and basically said that was my version of hell as a 45 yo woman- ended his chances of getting in my pants. Yes, not hot.

I get it that it’s fun and reinvigorating and probably makes you feel like a virile man and like you’re getting a fresh start to undo your first family- but any successful woman is wayyyyyy past this crap. [/quote]
