[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7:29 here.  Guys I know in their 40s don't necessarily want20 yr olds, but definitely under 35. I can pass for mid thirties and they are surprised when I tell them my age, one even said he didn't realize I was that old with a frown .[/quote]

I think you are correct but i am trying to figure out why.  I am a very attractive divorced 40 year old with two children. [b] I am on two online dating sites and am surprised that 40 something divorced dads with children have little interest in dating another 40 year old[/b].  They seem to want younger and honestly i dont understand it.  I have been seeing a 40 year old divorced dad of two children for a few weeks.  I like him but wonder if he will start searching for someone younger who has less baggage.  [/quote]

Don't understand this one.  40 something guys I know are looking for someone their age or maybe a year or two older.  It's difficult to relate to someone much younger because of not having the commonality of the same things going on in the outside world when growing up, in college, first years in the workplace, etc.  These men are interested in a full companion.  Maybe the issue is that dating sites attract the kind of guys who would want a younger woman - in other words, self selection.  Try a house of worship group or cultural events instead.[/quote]
