I have to agree with you there Bob. But in any pond, there are those who are looking for various things, same though with men and women, I would think.

Sux Big Time!!

My friends once smuggled me across in their trunk when one of my
favourite bands was playing in Sumas, Washington..What a hoot!!

Not much of a ride..I lived about a half mile from the border at the time..

By now we all have a lot of life under our belts. We also have more at stake by partnering with someone. I'm most likely to fall for someone who has similar values, has a track record for being responsible, still has an interest in living life fully. Laughing, caring and respecting one another are good starters.

"I also know what I want: Jeff Goldblum. Now thats one gorgeous man. "

I agree, he is wonderful... so is Bob Dylan though! Anyone heard his latest CD?? I think it is probably his best, and I have fallen in love with Dylan all over again. : )

I'm looking for in a man over 40...

A man who has the courage to show his weaknesses to me with the certainty that he won't be betrayed.

A man who has the strength to move forward in his life rather than running from his past.

A man who has the good sense to know that cheating and lying is a fools game at best.

A man who has the humility to know that quality of life has nothing to do with keeping up with the jones'

A man who is secure enough to know that showing respect is not a sign that he's losing his manhood.

A man who is mature enough to understand what's important to me has to be important to him without criticism.

And finally... A man who has the wisdom to know that what he puts in a relationship he will get back--plus more--if it's "the" relationship

Just a point of clarification.....is the woman over 40? Is the man over 40? are both?..or as the title is worded....what do women look for in a man ...after 40 men, maybe?

From my experience (or lack of it) women over 40 are looking for plain, down-to-earth men who have lots of money; men who are mature, but still built and thinking like a 20 year old; men who are honest about their past, but have no baggage; men who want to settle down and have a real relationship, while whirlwinding them around the world in their private jet;..
I'm just getting started...must be having one of those "bitter moments"....sorry

The jet doesn't need to be a private one! But first class would be nice!!!

Wow, power-line reels for tables! Why didn't I think of that??? That's even cooler than the oil drums!
And as for blowing smoke up there, I don't think that would be healthy, but then it's been so long, I don't know what the current turn-ons are!

He must have a regular pulse - that speeds up when he is holding or kissing me.

Seriously though, lots of good answers given already.

I rather like the compatible flaws theory of relationships.

I have flaws, he has flaws - can he accept mine - can I accept his.

Do we have many things in common and some different interests?

Are we sexually compatible? If there is no fire, then likely its friendship and that's all.

Do we have the same basic values and do we APPLY them not just talk about them.

and of course, caring, honesty, intelligence, sense of humour and ability to take delight in life.




my glass is not just half-full, it is brimming over.

Cheers!

I would like a man who is smart, has a sense of humor, who is open to new learning, who is honest w/ himself as well as others, who is objective about himself, who has his own interests but also wants to spend a good amount of time w/ me. Someone who likes to "hold hands" rather than have a "clenched fist" or "never hold my hand"- & a touch of that majic, chemistry, whatever you wanna call it & L-O-V-E I'm looking forward to waking up next to you every morning & closing my eyes next to you every night....

I saw this in another thread - somewhere here on POF. Must say my answer is still the same.

I am looking for a man over 40 that is breathing - yes breathing - those guys that have quit breathing are just no fun

I would visit them in a Nursing Home but they must be breathing - as soon as the breathing stops I'm outta there.

Maybe women over '40' have just spent 20 years of their life worrying what the kids want, what the husband wants/needs, what their parents expect etc......that they have never even thought about what they want. Now the kids are older, the husband has bound a woman 10 or 15 years younger and no kids/grandkids to worry about and has disappeared, the women are out trying to figure out what she really wanted in the first place, let alone at her age now, and then again are you supose to also be thinking about what you want in 10 years....wow a big load to explain all in the first cofee without sounding crazy haha

Well....I'm looking for the after 50! So here goes:
Someone who:

*Is self confident without being an ass
*Knows himself enough to share with me
*Likes himself and his place in life
*Still likes to be a kid now and then-not serious all the time

I can't speak for all women, but I want to be treated the way I expect to treat someone else. Love and respect have to be earned. If someone is 'ready and willing' they can love again and lead a wonderful fulfilled life with a partner. The 2nd time around, is very different at our age. At 16, we met, laughed thought all was well and got together. Now, it is way more complicated, children, work, friends, pets....... Good luck fishing
