You certainly won’t find many 50+ women on the apps that meet that description.


If you find a woman that fit this description, you would have to be really committed to her, work on integrating each other in your lives, busy schedules etc. Men claim they want financially independent women, but in reality few men are able to offer what it takes to be with a wealthy woman


Very few women in their 50s are "wealthy" or "financially independent". Much more likely she's a financial mess barely hanging on by her fingernails. And if you're wealthy and financially independent, what does she have to offer you, really? A negative thing (she won't be a financial burden) but physically you're better off shopping younger.


That’s too bad that you think tight body is the only valuable thing that a woman can offer. That’s very transactional and cold. I find many wealthy men cold and emotionally poor


There's nothing that an older woman can give you that a younger woman can't give you - and the younger woman is physically attractive as well.

At any age, men are nowhere near as cold, ruthless and transactional as women. As soon as you are no longer useful to a woman, or she finds someone more useful, she's gone, regardless of whatever you've done for her in the past.


Younger women expect way more (long term) from men in their 50s. They want a family, babies, 100% commitment with your money and time. This is not attainable for 99% divorced men, even for men with money. It's not easy to restart anew in your 50s. Men just want calmness, quiet requirement, good cooking and sex. Not screaming babies. Older women are at a similar stage of life and definitely would be more aligned with mid life lifestyle and goals

Of course if your intentions are short term, younger women can give fresh bodies to use, before they move on to a wealthier/younger dude who can offer them this future.

I’m sorry but this is the truth.


Then rebuild your life in your 50s with new babies hanging all over you, screaming. Why don’t you, indeed? And in 10 years the new wife will become fat and saggy . Hope it’s worth it


Why would anyone like a man who thinks this way? What is in it for you? You should be glad that some other woman has taken him off the market. There is probably money in it for her, something win-win for everybody.


I’m not saying I need him or any other man who thinks that way. Men are stupid if they think 10+ younger women are in for their tasty c…k in it

If you screen the apps, most attractive women in their 30s state “open to kids”. Not sure if physical aspects outweigh the fact you would be restarting your life in your 50s, and even higher financial responsibilities for the new family.
There are some attractive women in 40-50s age group that are totally fine financially it’s not like we live in 1960s when women didnt work.
The problem is that an average man on the apps has nothing to offer to a woman who makes 500k+, for example. I make this money as a woman, and my NW is several million. I only date men who have similar lifestyle and background. Even dated uber rich men. One billionaire, several men who made $2-5m a year etc. Its easy to meet them in my circle and even on the apps. Wealthy people speak the “same” language, enjoy similar hobbies and life experiences, and they pick you by code words in profiles and photo hints at lifestyle.

But I’ve come to a conclusion that you can’t find love when you are looking for money. Everyone rich is extremely busy, travel a lot, have little disposable time etc. Wealthy women stay single very often and never remarry.


Nah, hard disagree. FOers often remarry and simply keep everything separate to preserve the kids’ inheritances.


You are wrong. It’s statistics that high income increases chances of remarriage for men. It reduces chances of remarriage for women. Wealthy women prefer single-hood, as they have more options outside marriage

That is my experience. My 55 gf is smart, fun, confident, sexy, and has worked through whatever baggage she once had (I don't consider her kids to be "baggage"), but she is not financially secure at all. I do have some reservation because I don't want to be her lifeline and I don't want to deplete my kids' inheritance supporting her. But of all the possible downsides, her financial situation seems like the least important one.


What's the upside of marrying her, though, if that's your intention?
