[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know I'm going to get hateful comments about this but Just feel like expressing this out loud....

I'm a man in my mid-40s. I've been divorced for about 6 years now. The first year after the divorce I didn't date but when I did start to date I met a few nice women in their mid-to-late 30s but it didn't work out. Either one or both of us were busy with jobs or my job was relocating me and it was too early in the relationship for either of us to upend things. As I moved into my mid-40s I've noticed the women in their mid-late 30 are less interested but I've met a couple in their 20s. I've been worried about long-term relationships with someone that much younger but I simply don't see any viable women that are in their 40s. Part of the reason is the women in their 40s have less optimistic attitudes. They just act grumpy and complain about stuff all the time. A lot of them have let themselves go even beyond normal aging. I'm also noticing that a lot of women in their 40 who are divorced really like to drink as their pass time. The whole lifestyle doesn't fit for me. I'm still active and optimistic and they appear to have settled into a routine that involves a pet and their favorite wine (I don't drink).

It feels like there is a dearth of viable long term female 40 something-ish women who can potentially make good long-term partner/wife.

Has anyone else out there experienced the same issue?

There is one girl that is in her 20s and she has been hinting that she would like to be exclusive (hinting shes interested in marriage, etc.) and I'm thinking that maybe I should forget what other people would think and just go for it.[/quote]

I have to admit, I agree with the OP. I am in my early 50's and have never been married and not kids so I may be in a different space. I went to a function for work the other day, for women in my age group. Signed up online so no one knew who I was. When I got to the meeting place and was sitting waiting for folks to arrive I was shocked at who showed up. Grumpy old bags who looked like they hadn't seen the inside of a gym or running shoes in a decade. They didn't know I was supposed to be with the group so I just sat and listened as they were talking among themselves. WOW...was that eye opening. Angry, grumpy and turns out most of them were in about mid 40's when one of them talked about their birthday coming up and the other chimed in. I let them all go into the place for dinner and I went home. What is up with my people;women? Is that what we turn into after a divorce or two and raising kids? What is the point?[/quote]
