You are truly delusional if you think any man would ever pick a 50 year old woman over a 25 year old woman.
They might pick the 50 year old to be in a relationship with, bc there is more to a relationship than looks, but yeah - no 46 year old looks better than “most” 25 year olds. That is delusion.
NP here. I’m 45 and still look pretty good. My friends are also fit and attractive.
You are kidding yourself if you look better than most 25 year olds.
I’m still married. My twice divorced friend was doing well on the dating scene post divorce. She slept with more men in one year than in 40 years combined. She had this giant ego. Then it hit her that while it is easy to have sex, it was much harder to connect. Now she is in a very bad place after partying for a few years.
Yes, this - it always boggles my mind when women think that because a man will sleep with them, it necessarily means he likes or cares about her or that it somehow correlates to how objectively attractive she is. Single guys will sleep with just about anyone who will let them. I truly think figuring this out and really internalizing it in my early 20s helped me make better choices with who I wanted to invest my time on. Of course if all you want is sex then no problem and have fun, but it doesn’t tell you much about anything else.
Yea, which is why I never sleep with a man until after a month or so. Allows him invest more emotionally and also decide whether he’s actually interested in the relationship
Do you realize you are selecting for low libido, passive men lacking in self confidence and options?
All that being willing to wait for a month means is that they don't have better options, it doesn't mean they are emotionally invested in you. After a month? That's crazy.
You are crazy and make all men look like dogs hungry for sex going around f…ing everything they can. A high L man knows how to use his hands and has self respect to date women he wants to date. Men get tired of sex with multiple women over time, and all that dating turnover
Utter and complete horse sh*t. Boning is literally all men want to do. That is it.
I know within a nano second of meeting a woman whether I want her sitting on my face. It is programmed into all of us. It's like wanting water when you are thirsty. It is primal, akin to breathing. Women will never understand this. Ever.
We are hostages to our penis.
Anonymous wrote:Young men like sex with hot young women, but what they *really* like is easy sex. I agree with PP who said that this is what's going on in most of these older woman/younger man relationships. There are probably some young men who prefer older women, maybe because older women are better in bed or maybe because they (the young men) enjoy feeling dominated/objectified...but they're the exceptions. Your typical twentysomething guy who's dating significantly older either can't get a woman his own age or doesn't feel like putting in the effort to do so.
It's funny how the ladies of DCUM assume that comical egotism is solely a guy thing. Listening to middle-aged divorcees talk about their love lives, it becomes clear that that's not the case. In general, middle-aged people of both genders seem to have very high opinions of themselves. I guess you have to deal with aging somehow.

I am not 50. I am 46. Tell that to the 27-year-old I have been seeing for 6 months.
You tell him Mommy.
My youngest kid is 8.
I have told him. He does not want to date near his age for several years because he is not looking for marriage. I am not either.
He has told me that I look better than most women his age. (Which is true). Everyone says this. Not just him.
I won’t remarry anyone so it’s fine for now. I am not looking for serious. Long term monogamous casual is fine.
You poor thing.
He's simply telling you what you want to hear so you will keep having sex with him. Do you not realize he is playing to your insecurity and vanity? No, I guess not.
Not wanting marriage doesn't mean he would not prefer a younger woman for casual sex, if he could easily get one. Evidently he can't.
What he was telling you is that since he does not want a serious relationship and marriage yet, he does not need or want to put in the kind of effort it would take to find a marriageble woman in his own age group. For casual sex you will suffice unless and until something better comes along. You probably think he isn't having sex with other women or wouldn't should the opportunity arise too. Guess again.
For many younger guys they will have sex with an older woman becaus it's easier, not because it's preferable, to finding someone their own age.
That's all.
How you warped everything in your mind to take this huge ego trip is amusing, I guess it salves ones ego

My other equally attractive, very successful, very rich friend is having a harder time finding a partner. She's relationship oriented. She does not do casual. She's done some online dating. Here and there she has had something that lasts for a bit. But she hasn't met anyone she's genuinely passionate about. She noted that with online dating, it's so easy to get into the swipe next mindset. Nothing really gets a chance to develop organically. She's taking a timeout and is presently lusting over her housepainter. But she did note that the very few dateable 45-55 men genuinely go younger for relationships. She's not attracted to older or the dregs. But she needs connection to be intimate so she's not doing randoms. She's no longer really actively pursuing things.
40yo woman here. This is not a flex. Sex is easy at any age for women. Sleeping with randoms at the bar makes me wonder if she’s even getting off during these hookups or just trying to compete with men.

A friend suggested I step outside my comfort zone when dating after divorce so as not to fall into what felt comfortable. On vacation in Miami, I went to Haulover Beach with a book and a bottle of wine. I found a comfortable spot amongst a few couples, and through the course of the day undressed to my comfort level. Mind you Haulover Beach is a nude beach in Florida. Having never been to a nude beach, this was my first step in establishing body confidence. I returned the next day, and threw caution to the wind, and enjoyed the day as everyone on the beach did, fully naked. It was liberating to swim and sunbathe naked. I gained confidence in myself with my 50yo body.
Last summer I joined a nudist resort in the DMV, and have since met many people that have introduced me to a number of eligible men I never would have met in bars, the grocery store or playing tennis. Much to my chagrin, I've learned to play pickleball, and have found it to be more fun when played naked than properly attired in my local park.
I never would have thought at my age, that I'd have the confidence to undress in public or in a social environment such as the nudist resort, this new confidence has allowed me to experience dating as I never imagined I would.
I encourage you, the OP to step outside your comfort zone and try something new. Trust me I scoffed at the idea at first, but am I glad I did as life as a dating single female in my early 50's is far more enjoyable than I perceived. I had heard from friends that dating in their 40's was awful and that dating in their 50's was even worse. I'm having the time of my life meeting new people, and dating 'naked', something I ever imagined. And the sex is pretty damn good too!!
