[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here,

[quote]OP, you don't sound boring at all. The only thing I wonder about based on your responses--and sorry if I am way off base---is if you feel you are settling for women closer to your age, versus genuinely being attracted to them? The women closer to your age that you date eventually might pick up on that if that's what's going on. That would be much more off-putting that being boring. [/quote]

It is still very early in the search, but I have an ominous feeling at the moment that the intersection of "I am genuinely attracted to them" and "they are genuinely attracted to me" is going to be a small number. Not to mention that the relatively small number of genuinely attractive single women in my age range are bound to have all the single guys chasing them (and maybe married guys too). Oh well![/quote]

You’re still not really answering the question.  If you want younger women, you should aim for them and not settle for someone close to your age.  So many men post on here that it’s easy to find a younger woman at this age and so you should aim for what you want.  Who wants to be someone you settled on?[/quote]

I did not choose DW (now XW) on the basis of "young and hot as possible" so I won't choose my next partner like that either. She was more attractive than she knew, but more importantly to me, also had intelligence, good morals, appreciated my sense of humor, liked to read (as I do), was very creative, and had a good, stable job. And we were then in the same stage of life. I'm looking for the same sort of person now.

That aside, I am attractive, but I am not movie-star good looking or CEO rich, and I think that's what you have to be for it to be "easy" to get 20something women as a 50something man. [/quote]
