[quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]Op, ignore this poster. There are guys on this board who are constantly trying to argue that  men can date women way younger. Your comments on age range are realistic and accurate.[/quote][/b]

Agree, you sound pretty nice and realistic, OP. Also, if you are doing online dating, check your age range. I am only 35 and coupled, but even when I was looking at profiles in my mid 20s and open to somewhat older (my guy is 10 years older than me...), it was a huge turnoff to see some guy in his 30s, 40s, or 50s with an age range that started at 18. Maybe that's a default, but it's not a great look for a guy in his 50s to be open to a relationship with a teen, so maybe shift that up a bit if you don't want the higher quality women you could relate to to be turned off by an "open for anything!" approach that includes this very, very young age range. Probably shouldn't have to be said, but this is common. [/quote]
