[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would a single guy never married date a 40 year old woman. She needs to look at divorced men in their 40s and 50s.[/quote]
Why would a single woman never married date a 40 year old man. Men 40+ need to look at divorced women in their 40s and 50s, that is if he still has hair left, if no, then look at divorced women in their 60s, or younger but obese ones [/quote]

This experience has a point bear with me: 
I went to a matchmaker. I was 44. Me:
I spend 15 hours plus working out every week. I have other bona fides.   I know this sounds odd, but I photograph really well (not modified with an app). I get attention when I flirt.    Divorced. Set financially but I kept that private

Matchmaker set me up with men who were 60-65+ in Washington DC. I went out with one 4o year old who was not my physical type. He was job searching.  That is the market. [/quote]
This is not the market, this is entirely your own problem. You choose to sell yourself short: at age 44, you can't be more physically attractive than chicks under 30, being divorced, you aren't as desirable as women with no baggage. Your forte here is financial stability, and (perhaps) a good career and education - yet you choose to hide them. Why? If it's the matchmakers suggestion, please fire that dunderhead. 
I'm 40, divorced, average looking, but well educated. I only date men 25-35. Good salary and a higher degree brings men security more than youth and good looking. [/quote]

PP here. I am definitely rejecting your advice!  I did that a couple (ok three) and I am ashamed that I did! I did not go as low as 25 but I have a very attractive 27 year old friend who tries. I had to stop being friends with him. It was gross overall —and it was not fair to those young men. I assuming that you do not have kids. Once you have kids one envisions their son hooking up with an older divorcee.  You immediately feel the heebee jeebees.  They should be with people their own age . Not some divorcee with emotional baggage [/quote]

You seem really dejected. Sorry but not sorry. Go date those 60+ men and make their dead mothers happy [/quote]
