My friends all seem to agree that never-married men over 40 are usually odd or commitment-phones.  You know a divorced guy was at least willing to try. [/quote]

I'm a guy, and frankly, this applies equally to never married >40 women too - frankly, for either sex, never-married >35 this is true.

[quote]As for what these women were doing in their 20's, I know what they were doing -- they were being incredibly picky. They wouldn't even consider going out with a guy that wasn't perfect. They are all jealous of my wonderful husband, but they would have never given him a chance.  I'd try to set them up with great guys, but they always had some "flaw" that disqualified them.[/quote]

Yes, exactly, and in women commitment-phobic (or fear of intimacy & daddy issues, aka "emotional unavailability") often masquerades as "picky" where these women don't actually bother seeing if they emotionally connect with the [i]person[/i] and instead focus on the resume/checklist...the ones who are successful in finding a guy who matches the checklist then wonder why they wake up 10 years and two kids later and feel nothing but contempt for the [i]person[/i] they find in the bed next to them.

BTW, I am not a bitter guy, and I don't hate women; I'm a guy who is friends with his ex wife and is very happily remarried.  I could just as easily put the ugly truth spin onto guys (mostly guys who worry about too-perfect bodies/looks, which are ephemeral anyway) - this thread just happens to be about "where are all the single men".  I definitely, definitely encourage single women to consider divorced (children or not) men - they have at least tried, aren't completely burned/scarred by the experience, and maybe learned something from their earlier failure.

Good Luck Ladies!  There are sooooo many hot, smart and otherwise fantastic women in DC...as a man, it was the candy store for searching for a partner...of course, I'm a guy who wanted an LTR & marriage.  [/quote]
