[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a 46 year old divorced woman and want to weigh in here.  The dissolution of any long term marriage, regardless of how amicable the divorce is, is traumatic.  I know you want to get out there and get back in the game but there will be time for that.  As the men here have weighed in you won’t have any issues meeting women when you’re ready.

I’d strongly recommend that you take a bit of time for yourself to really settle and get comfortable with you.  Most of us started dating way too soon and it’s always (ALWAYS) a disaster.  Broken attracts broken.  And you probably don’t FEEL broken but you are and will be for a little while.  It’s normal.  If you do decide to start dating early on you may have some lessons to learn.

Once you’re totally healthy you really will have your pick.  If you want an new family go younger.  If you’re just looking for a good companion as your children grow up try to find someone closer to your age.  Many of us already have empty nests.  With your income I’d suggest you look for professional women unless you want to risk the sugar daddy role.

Either way I think you’ll do just fine.  Men your age tend to have a better pool to pick from than women for some reason.  Good luck!  [/quote]

Eh, I actually don’t think that is true about men his age having a better pool to pick from. I am a childless forty three year old woman who doesn’t want kids but wouldn’t mind having stepkids. and I actually found my dating life got way way better once I turned forty. All of a sudden all these divorced men in their mid forties started asking me out.

The key is that you’re childless — which becomes increasingly rare the older you get. Nobody wants to deal with other people’s baggage which is why you’re more in demand after 40. However PP was comparing the prospects of single parents. It’s way easier for a divorced with 2 kids than a divorced mom to meet and date. [/quote]
