[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men or women in your 50’s: do you feel that you have more in common when dating someone , specially around life experience, with people who have kids vs. who don’t? And men- do you view a female in her 50’s differently who haven’t had children? [/quote]

54M here.

I don't care if women in their 50s have kids or not, because I only date women in their 20s and 30s.[/quote]

I don't think OP was asking the age cohort that you date, only if you yourself are in your 50's and if you have kids, do you also prefer to date people with kids, or vice versa.[/quote]

She asked me how I view women in their 50s.

I don't view them at  all. They are invisible to me.[/quote]

Did you have something to add to the actual topic or just trying to stir the pot a little.  The topic is more about people with children vs childless.  This isn't about what age range you want to date.

If have no experience with women in their 50's then you don't have anything of value to add.[/quote]

I am adding the valuable, relevant perspective that it does not matter if she has kids or not because The Wall is so far behind her it isn't even in the rearview mirror any more.[/quote]

As divorced man in my 50s, I, too, don’t consider women anywhere near my age. But I understand the other people wondering why this guy is posting at all on this topic.

Might I suggest he start a spinoff thread  on men on 50s dating?  Personally I can’t even imagine dating a woman in her 50s. I’m so immature and have so much energy that there is a huge energy and life expectation disparity with late 40s and 50s women. Of course I’d be open to it if I met one. [/quote]

Agree. I feel the same way about old men in their 50’s. Unfit and just can’t keep up. The toll of cumulative inactivity and long hours working definitely catches up with them. Both men & women need to keep the fitness up![/quote]

I agree with that. Just for health reasons alone. The thing is when I look at guys 50 and up even if they are in shape they often look old. I lived in the west and all the older bicyclists, golfers, etc. are very wrinkled. I'm married, but if my DH died I wouldn't be able to date. No attraction to over 50. I can understand how older men feel, and why they try to date younger women. Sure its mainly going to be about money for the women, but I'm sure a percentage of men don't care.  [/quote]
