| What do women over 40 want?
Posted: 3/14/2005 9:35:22 AM | To bombmom: Thanks for your comments. Just because I'm critical of the way women make decisions doesn't mean I wouldn't be right for one. I think, if you were to take a poll, you would find the vast majority of men agreeing with me and yet they are husbands and boyfriends of women.
Oh, sure, there are probably going to be some men now after this thread who say they don't agree with me. Some of them will be sincere; others just want to impress the ladies of POF so that they show they're on their side and maybe can get a date.
I don't want to offend you further, but for the record, I'll stay with my original premise. Regardless of what any woman says, I personally feel it to be true.
But, again, thanks for your comments. | |

Posted: 3/14/2005 10:52:57 AM | Ron -- I don't really understand why you think you are an expert of how a woman makes a decision....that is what offends me. Well that and you not thinking we are worthy! It just seems to me that you have a low opinion of women in general, and that offends me greatly. I know a lot of men and a lot of women and it is my opinion that women are just as intelligent as men and therefore make their decision basically the same way a man does -- based on fact, experience and knowledge. It also seems that, to some degree, you have a low opinion of men.....thinking they will say anything to get a date! I'm offended for them as well!!!
But of course, this is just my opinion. | |

Posted: 3/14/2005 1:58:31 PM | | I am 47, and want a man who is over his hatred of his ex wife or ex girlfriend, is willing to appreciate that I am a good catch, likes the fact that I have not been married and do not have children, is mature enough to know that sexuality is not a woman's appearance, has a sense of humor, and wants a committed relationship with a woman of quality, manners, and morals. | |

You're so fun. Loosen up. Don't take things so seriously. We all have our thoughts. You don't have to agree with me. I don't have to agree with you. I don't have a low opinion of women or men. Putting a new shine on what someone says because it doesn't fit well with you, doesn't justify getting all worked up over it.
Have fun on these forums. You'll enjoy them more. What do you say?
Enjoy!!!

Why? What is wrong with that. It was okay for her to have opinions about me, right? So, don't I have the same rights? Come on! Isn't what you're saying a little one sided?

I'll go have a good time with another one.
It's so hard to be me!

Posted: 3/15/2005 6:12:05 PM | Women over 40 want:
A secure man we don't have to support (equality)
An intelligent man we don't have to instruct (much)
An aware man who attempts to understand women's biological crap
A sexual man, who comes with / without viagra
What this woman wants:
all of the above
and a man Over 40, but who remembers 25!
Had the best time this weekend - went bike riding for the first time
in however many years. Rode all the playground equipment in the park.
All with a man over 40. What fun!

Come on, you can't discount the emotional aspect of woman decision making, IN GENERAL, doesn't that play a larger part for women? That's part of why men and women balance each other out, men generally use more logic and women have a more emotional approach.
This has nothing to do with "intelligence".
There are only so many "Tall, Dark, Handsome", Financially Secure, Outgoing, Dancing, Non-Smoking, Non-Drinking, Good Dressing, Strong, but Loving and emotionally available, Healthy, Traveling, Stable, No baggage, Funny, Biking, Skiing, Sporty, Openly communicative and strong silent type, drug and disease free, 5'10" or taller, clean cut/shaven/HWP, Comfortable in jeans or suit for those special occasions, animal Loving, Kid Loving and Single men available. | |

Posted: 3/16/2005 6:24:57 AM | GreatGuy - I don't think there is ANY man alive that meets all of what you think we want in a man. Good thing that most of us aren't looking for all that. I think that by the time you get to be over 40 you realize this man does not exist...but then a woman like this doesn't exist either! The original post was just asking what a woman over 40 wants....why do all you guys think that we are looking for a perfect man? A perfect man would only show up my imperfections! I believe most women want just an average Joe as far as appearance and financial stand....I think it is more important that he have character. Of course, I believe the majority of women want someone who is not afraid of showing their emotions, but we don't want a cry baby either.
I don't discount the emotional aspect of a woman...that makes us who we are and different from all you guys! I think when we are younger, the emotional part plays a lot bigger part in our decision making than when we are older. That is due to the fact that basing our decisions on emotions has ended us up with a bruised and battered heart more times than we care to admit.
Once again, only my opinion, and there are ladies that I am sure still believe that man you described actually exists.....of course they are probably only 18-20. | |

Posted: 3/16/2005 9:24:25 PM | My guess...if they leave quickly, they are probably not interested. Hehehe, I used to skip church and make out with the paster's son in the kitchen...OOPS, okay, I was 16.
I'm 40, I know exactly what I want, what I don't want, and how to give and love in return.
(I wont bore ya in the details). What I don't have yet is the person who fits the criteria.

Posted: 3/16/2005 9:41:52 PM | | I never meant to imply that these women fly out the door as fast as they can. Ok confession time. The potlucks start at 6. A few of the men, including me, usually get there by 6:30 and the women are already there. We end up eating around 7. The women I am referring to leave around 8:30. The rest of us leave at 10:30 or 11:00. Does that make a difference in the question? | |

Posted: 3/16/2005 9:47:05 PM | Maybe women do want to hang around, but are afraid of what the other women might think (or say) if they hung around with the men alone. I don't know how your church is about such things. Are the church ladies a bit...erm...judgemental sometimes?.
I'd hang out, but then again, I am a heathen

Posted: 3/16/2005 9:57:38 PM | | No, nobody is judgemental at this Church that I am aware of. You did kind of made me realize that the women who do stay seem somewhat more desperate in the way they act then the ones who depart. | |

Posted: 3/17/2005 6:33:11 AM | what if you walked out with them? If nothing happened, you could go back to your group of men. Just an idea. Who knows, maybe they're going to another party  | |

Posted: 3/17/2005 8:32:23 PM | Dear 919rider,
Can't speak for all women, but a pretty boy of 20 is the LAST thing I want.
They're just kids, dont make love like an older man, and wouldnt even know where to start.
Dont have life experiences that are comparable either...
In a word, boring. | |

Posted: 3/17/2005 9:02:32 PM | | 919, the only reason I can imagine that a man in his 40s would want a woman in her 20s is for sex, and you know what? Older women have it all over them when it comes to sex. Even if you succeeded in getting a 20 something into bed, what are you going to talk about afterwards? Hip-hop? No thanks. | |
