[quote=Anonymous][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]

Hmm, speaking as a mid forties woman who dates divorced dads, very true. Most guys your age have kids who are out of the house and that boosts their dating stock. If I am going to date a guy with young kids, I am going to go for a hotel, younger, forty year old rather than a guy in his mid fifties.[/quote]

+1. I am early 40s. I date men 36-40. I have no reason to date my age or older. I am not remarrying. Not EVER.[/quote]
