[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Divorced 43 yo dad here with two daughters aged 13 and 10. Make 90k working at a wll known non profit, 5 ft 8, good shape, all my hair.

I've had my pick of the litter with any woman 35-40. Not interested in women older than I am, but I could have any of them if I wanted.

The playing field is 100% to your advantage right now.

Take care of yourself.[/quote]

Wow. I am surprised by this, but good for you. Like you, the OP will do fine.
I am a divorced woman your age (look younger), same height as you, make a little more than you, with two kids younger than yours. I date never-married late 30s men. I don't date divorced men with kids in their 40s or older. I am not interested in remarrying. If I was, I would date divorced dads, but I'm not. [/quote]

LOL. "never married" late 30s dudes are either gay, married, or just using you. If you think anyone believes that single, attractive, available 36 yo old men are going for 43 yo divorcees with the added hassle of a couple crotch goblens and an ex husband to deal with, then you're the definition of delusional.[/quote]

I can assure you they are not gay or married. Who I have seen are married to their careers. They literally work 70+ hours a week. No one needs to deal with my kids or ex-husband. Not sure you understand....I am not looking to remarry. Having a fun boyfriend is perfectly fine for me. I felt very used in my marriage. I do not feel used now. [/quote]

It was very kind of you to respond to the poster who mansplained your own relationships to you  :roll:  :roll:  :roll: [/quote]

And the contempt! 'crotch goblens'? My auto-correct won't even allow it. And the ridiculous assumption that a 43 y/o divorcee would give a rip about marriage, or would let herself be used! [/quote]

Umm, you're quoting a woamn who jut posted that she felt used in her marriage. :roll: [/quote]

I don't see those as contradictory. Live and learn. Marriage can still a bit of an exploitative set up and I can guess why she felt used (see all the threads on chores and all the threads on conjugal duties). She's the heck out of that, and it would be a ridiculous assumption to think all she wants out of life is to jump right back in. [/quote]

Thanks. I am the poster who said I felt used. You get it. Someone else seems to find this unbelieveable, but I felt completely used in my marriage. It was not what I signed up for. It was not a normal relationship in anyway and lacked both love and respect. Hence, a divorce. I was used for being another source of income and used to make children (look up reproductive coercion) despite the agreement not to have kids before marriage. Literally, I was a wallet, uterus, and maid. And it was devoid of sex and affection except when he decided he wanted to impregnate me. So...yeah, I was totally used and would never ever get married again. Having a fun boyfriend who wants to be with me for ME and not what I can do FOR HIM and for HIS IMAGE is far better than marriage in my experience. I am happily single, which is a great relief from a horrible marriage I finally managed to get out of.[/quote]
