[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are all these 35 year old women gagging to go out with men in their 50s? I just turned 40, and am happily married, but there's no way I or my younger friends would be looking at the 50+ crowd. Maybe the women who can't get men closer to their own age, but then they don't seem like such great catches...[/quote]

I don't know what a 50yo man looks like in your set, but I am a 50yo man and I find I click very well with women from 35 on up.  Reasonably fit 50yo men with their life in order and decent post-divorce situations can be a very attractive feature to a 35 to 42 yo woman.  I would be happy to have more kids if necessary, but no pressure either way.  I don't see much competition from men in those younger age brackets, maybe because a lot of them are married still?   And if they aren't married they have some reason why they never married by 40 or so.  In any event, the "50+ crowd" isn't all early dinners and false teeth. [b] It's more like work, gym, interesting daily life with friends and family[/b], etc.[/quote]

Yep, early 50s and that's me too. Plenty of 30-something women are more than happy to go out with me. Love all the anecdata from the "I don't know a single woman my age doing this!" crowd though. (Hint: you don't know every woman in this very large area.)

I have no interest in a late 40s early 50s woman. Why? Firstly, most of them are physically unattractive, and secondly, I just divorced that so why should I go get another version of the same thing?[/quote]

I am the first poster in this response.

I would add, at age 50, divorced, I am in the best shape of my life.  I have literally never looked better.  I worked in large law firms as a young man and ate bad food and never worked out.  I then got married and went through the young children years.  When I look around downtown and see the 35yo male competition, with some exceptions, most of those guys have beards and paunches and many have little life experience compared to a man with my experience.  I am also way "cooler" without trying hard, because I truly DGAF about much.  Few things bother me.  Having lived my life, when I go out in a group with some 30 to 40 yo guys I almost feel like it's unfair, in comparison to them I must seem like the most interesting man in the world.  And I am not bragging, I actually have to tone down my accomplishments because I don't want to look like a blowhard.[/quote]
