[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Single man 40 here. I want children but dating has been such a slog that I’ve basically given up. I’m 6’1” and a Navy veteran. Currently making good money in defense tech. Healthy (lift and run regularly) with broad social life.

For some reason the women that I want aren’t interested in me. My hinge is set for 27-32 because I want children. Women closer to my age don’t interest me. I tried dating a few in the 35-43 range and they all struggled with vulnerability and emotional communication. May have been my filtering but these were all professional women who dedicated everything to their careers.

Recently I deleted my Hinge and stopped looking. I don’t want to be an old father. My best friends dad was in his 80s when we were in college and I don’t want that experience if I have children.

I don’t get lonely and I’m used to living alone. So dating is optional and less desirable for me now. [/quote]

Would you consider a woman with children? Most of my male friends who hit 40 without marriage/kids started dating women with kids so they could have the experience of helping to raise children without being an old dad. Reality is, just like you want someone younger because you want kids, women 27-32 are going to want around their same age for having kids as sperm quality does decrease with age and you'll be 43-44ish at the minimum by the time you find someone, get married, and start TTC.

Even my very wealthy and fit male friends over 40 mostly date women their age with children.
