| Men in their 40's, attracted to women in their 40's?
Posted: 5/3/2009 2:19:46 PM | Hmmmm, height has never been an issue for me, either mine or the men I've been with. I'm slightly shy of average height myself, I don't require a 6 footer, I've never discounted anyone based on their height alone.
Ha dozerdawg! It's true, just about everything I've attempted to bake turns out hard as a brick! I wouldn't want a man to lose a tooth, so if he really wants some cookies or a pie, we're gonna have to go the bakery. I do make a pretty mean bangcok stir fry though, yum! | |

Posted: 7/13/2009 2:57:55 PM | I'm not really sure why more men around your age(are age,I'm 48),aren't interested.
I would think there are lots of men in their mid-forties out there that would be interested.
Personally I prefer someone closer to my age because of the chances are better that we may have more in common with each other. | |

Posted: 8/5/2009 7:28:28 PM | | I have a similar issue, I get more messages from gals 40 and younger. I'm guessing that most people males and females how are in better shape --normal weight to height, are attracted to and attract younger people as the are of similar physically speaking. | |

Posted: 8/18/2009 10:30:24 PM | Stay away from my BF, he'd be all over you!
Seriously, I'm dating a guy who's 45 and I'm 28. His other recent "interests" are all exactly his age. I will say though that they're thin and athletic with the kind of bodies normally seen on younger women. However if that's the issue I don't think you're at a disadvantage, going by your pictures! Maybe guys are intimidated! | |

Posted: 8/19/2009 3:44:32 PM | My experience is that men are attracted to women who are happy with themselves regardless of their age. As women we are attracted to men of varying ages, its more about are you attracted to that person/ man/ woman then oh ya... how old are they?
Just my 2 cents :-) | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 10:02:17 AM | | I'm in my 40's and my woman is in her 40's.I really wouldn't want a woman who is in her 20's.That's young enough to be my daughter.Any women in her 60's is to close to my mom age. | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 12:17:39 PM | I think some of the Men are interested, but in my opinion many want the Women who physically fit. I look for the same or at least close to that. At my age I have gotten to that point that exercise is a big point in my life. I think that can be a real problem with Men 40-something and my age of 52... | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 11:09:44 PM | I have to agree with Donnarou. Her 2 cents is exactly how I feel. As long as she feels good about herself, can be happy enjoying life. Age really isn't a problem with me. Now don't get me wrong, I do not want to date someone my sons (25) or my mothers (65) and I don't think they would be into me either. But 35-55 wouldn't be out of the question as long as she is happy with it!
there's my couple of pennies! | |

Posted: 9/9/2009 5:02:55 AM | 'Age" has very little to do with what I find attractive....
I already Know I stand a Snowballs chance in Kuwait with _Very_ attractive younger ladies [25-35]
The percentages decrease as age increases...
Mostly because women [and men] are getting Double-teamed by Gravity and Physics...!!!
An Attractive Lady will get my attention [even if I don't get theirs] whether she's 40, 50 or 60...!!
Tha biggest problem, Here...is 'Distance'...!!!

Posted: 9/10/2009 9:39:08 AM | Their 'age' isn't an issue....
30's...40's...50's...
The key word, here...is 'Attracted'.
Personally, I put a premium on women in my approximate age-bracket, but wouldn't kick a 35 uyear-old out of bed..........
...unless...
She wanted to continue...On The Floor..!!!

Posted: 9/10/2009 11:48:05 AM | Most women in their 40's have children. A big turn off for a lot of guys. Especially if there has been a revolving door of men in their lives the last few years.
After looking at your profile picture, I can see why guys 55+ and <35 would be interested in you.
Personally, I think guys should be a few years older. And I would think that since there are nearly twice as many women as men, that being a 50+ would be an asset, rather then the liability it is.
Being very active, I am having a hard time finding someone who can keep up with me. I get critism from very LARGE women, who don't think I should place limitations on what I am looking for, and think I should "ACCOMODATE" them. I can only sit on the trail waiting for them to rest so long. Or stop so many times walking to the mall door. Especially when I am in the first parking stall!
So, I would love to find a fit 55 year old. Or 59, or 45, (even a 25, but that's another thread).
Good luck in your search. And what's wrong with Geezers? | |

Posted: 9/10/2009 5:56:11 PM | | A guy in your age bracket would be priviledged to date you ( looked at your profile and you look better than most people in their 40s!). Who cares what the general population of men in the 40s are doing...their loss! | |

Posted: 9/12/2009 5:13:16 AM | | I never had problems dating on here. I dated men in their late 20's to 50's. I think things look skewed on the forums about older men not dating women their age, but I really think that is all wishful thinking. Those that say they are dating younger women on the forums are usually not dating at all. But what do I know, I am engaged to a man 10 years younger. | |

Posted: 9/13/2009 8:00:21 AM | I haven't read through all the responses so hopefully this is not a repeat from someone else .. but I'll add my own personal spin on this as it related to myself.
When I went through my divorce at age 43 I was still feeling as though I was 35. Hence when it came time to look again, I was drawn to the 30 something women .. not because of age in general, but because thats where I felt I belonged.
Well, after a relationship (early 30's) later, I have come to realize I was wrong. Now being 47, I know that while age - the number doesn't matter, it does in maturity. I have found that while I might still feel young and enjoy things I did when I was 30 something, I have matured and feel more at home with someone in their 40's and equally mature.
This isn't to say that someone in their 30's won't be as mature, but generally speaking they are not ... its more about life experience than acting your age, if you know what I mean.
Now my focus on finding someone has moved to life experience and friendship .. finding that someone that I crave, yet am best friends with at the same time. Will age matter? Umm, yes, I think so .. but I'm looking at a much broader range of ages now than I did 4 years ago. I'm quite certain that I would be much more comfortable with someone in their 40's than in their early 30's or late 50's .. yet, I'm not willing to rule anyone out just yet.
The mid-life crisis thing might have a lot to do with your perception than most will admit. You know how it works .. get dumped, look for a younger woman to make you feel like you "still got it" .. when in reality, you are just masking your hurt or trying to give yourself artificial temporary youth .. sooner or later it catches up with you .. it does with everyone. My ex went through this when we divorced .. fake boobs, younger man, etc etc .. is she happy? No one knows but her .. I would hope so, but would guess its a cover.
As for you buckeyegal, you are not the norm in MN .. beautiful, fit, fun and energetic women don't do online dating here. I live in a very conservative town .. online dating is the exception and looked upon as a last resort. You would likely have dozens of messages daily if you were here. This is a medical community, where women in their 40's are working or being mom's .. very little in between. Meeting the single or divorced ones is next to impossible .. yet I continue to try. I find it odd that women in their 40's tend to stay in or hang with friends and don't date here. Whats a good looking guy to do?? Post a picture I've been told .. , but I've been here so long, I'm feeling like a lifer. | |

Posted: 9/13/2009 8:17:22 AM | | The women in their 40s might not date because men do not ask them. I know at least a few ( they look to be in their 40s and 50s , not 20s), fun, energetic women who are in their 40s and 50s who rarely date. We are told we are not good looking enough by the average looking men who are living in fantasy land wondering why Miss America does not knock on their doors. | |

Posted: 9/13/2009 9:34:29 AM | If one rarely dates, it must be for a reason, and if that reason is one of waiting for someone to ask you out........shame on you........
There are many reasons why some of us will take time off from dating, and it could be for family, job situations, and self imposed time that you just want to step back and not be involved with anyone.
If you are not good enough looking to get dates, that will not be age determined, but much more your own attitude about who and what you are, what you offer, and what you want as well.
I have enjoyed many great looking women that were close to my age and older as well, and it was never the date on their drivers license that drew me to them, but rather the overall picture of how they are put together both physically and mentally.......
It usually comes down to, when all is said and done, that you must offer what you want, or those that you so desire, will seek others that do. If looks take a back seat, trust me, there are other things that come to the forefront to force that to happen, and that goes for BOTH men and women.
Just my opinion.......... | |

Posted: 9/13/2009 10:03:18 AM | | I should have said that many women are not good looking enough to date the men we are attracted to, as those men seem to be looking for model gorgeous women, even though they are usually average looking. ( looks are not the most important thing to many women as they seem to be for so many men). Shame on us for not asking a man out when he says we are not good looking enough to date him? I call that stupidity and wanted to be rejected on the part of the woman if she persues a man who tells her she is not attractive to him. An average looking man is appealing to many women, whereas an average looking woman seems to appeal to a few men. These facts seem to never change. | |

Posted: 9/13/2009 10:49:15 AM | I disagree with your premise, but that is what makes the forums so good, and life in general interesting........
What you refer to, is what has been happening for a thousand years, and that is for men to do the pursuing, and get the rejection, but live with it, because that is how tradition works.......
What it ends up with many times, will be men trying to ask a 100 women, in order to get maybe five to say yes, and they call that success......... If women try this, they end up, most times, not making it that far, or trying to that extent, and giving up, using excuses like men do not want average.
I contend that dating is much more equal now, and many many more of us, of both genders, will not play that game, and work towards some happy middle of pursuing and being pursued. Now, if you are of that "old" thought process with dating, called traditional by many, you are expecting those men to do all that work, and receive all that rejection, honorably, while you decide who you say yes or no to.
When this happens and they do not approach you, it somehow is their fault for bypassing you, while you see them approach others. If one is going to do this on their own, with a rejection rate so high, and success rate so low, one will try to pick the best first and work your way from there.
Sounds bad, does it not? So, why not join those of us that pursue, and are pursued equally, with rejection along with success on an equal playing field. If I do not think that we are a fit, I will say no to you, just as you have to all those men over the years that you have felt that they were not right for you. The real difference now, is that you can choose as much as I can, and you will never know what could be, or would be, without trying, while sitting on the sideline complaining about how the dating world has treated you so unfairly, and men, so well.......
Just my opinion........ | |
