[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would correct this thread title to “Good looking divorced 40s women”. 
Yes, they do, particular if they are empty nesters. 
It’s in fact much better for me at 46 than what it was at 24. Both in terms of the men’s quality and what they are looking for in long term relationships 
I’m 46,  my dating range for men is 42-59 so far. All for LTR never did flings . I had 2 serious relationships post divorce (at 42), both men were talking marriage.  They were 1 year younger and 7 years older from my age, respectively. [/quote]

You are very realistic and honestly a catch. Most women your age on this forum talk about men under 35. I am surprised you would even entertain going past 40 because we know on this forum women your age not only go much younger but often view man past 40 as sexually done [/quote]

I don’t go younger/under 40. I like to feel the “more beautiful”,  person when coupled. His baby, an arm candy elevating my man. So he can be strong and smart and show me off around.  [/quote]

This is [i]so[/i] cringe. [/quote]

Why ? To me as a woman nothing is more cringe then looking way older /not as attractive  as my male partner [/quote]

I thought that way when I was younger and felt like my value was derived from the male gaze, and I sought external validation from men.   Back then, I was a people pleaser and prioritized pleasing men over my own needs, but this ultimately led to resentment. I'm still somewhat of a pleaser in my platonic relationships with women, but that is often reciprocated.  With men, I now take what I want, which leads to a more mutually satisfactory relationship.  I no longer need to be younger or more attractive to my partner.  I need them to excite and satisfy me.  [/quote]
