| What do women over 40 want? Posted: 10/7/2005 5:34:22 PM | Well said, I am over 40, know what I need, what I want and am still looking for it. It is not about money, it is about reliability, honesty, and willing to commit. Most men over 40, who I have dated or been contacted from dating sites are usually unaware of what they want (beyond sex), what they are doing in a year from now, no goals or knowledge of how to care for a woman. Most are living with a woman, or are married, or are single Dads who are stuck with weekend visitations only and don't have time to really date and get to know you, therefore, they want sex and need to find a woman willing to put out.
Can't blame them, I would love to find a big fat guy who would love to have as much intimacy as I need, willing to commit to a relationship and work towards a life together.
I am pretty simple, and a single man over 40 would be stable enough to care for me, stable enough to not be a drunk, hold a full time job for long periods of time, own a home, and be honest enough to say he is scared to death of commitment, but wants it.
We are all different, respect everyone for being who they are, everyone will find themselves in good time.

| What do women over 40 want? Posted: 10/30/2005 7:04:13 PM | But what does a male over 40 want? Sex? Okay, true for most of us (of either gender!) but there are some that have deeper needs.
I have a son who will soon be thirteen and is the light of my life. No, I'm never 'stuck' with my son! I have full custody and am glad of it! Time to date? Yup, if I have to choose between my son and a date my son will win out. When he's in college the priorities will change but until then...
Yikes, have to lose some pounds for the USAF but will never be a 'fat guy' while in uniform.
Stable? I've held the same job the past 24 years (okay, 24 years come December)! I'm secure and want a woman to share that security with me.
I just separated this June (2005) and am still feeling the pain. There is no hope for reconciliation.
Hopefully there is someone out there in Virginia who can meet my needs while I meet hers. | |

| What do women over 40 want? Posted: 10/30/2005 7:12:12 PM | I have to agree... honesty, stability, and none of the high school game-playing that seems to go on well after high school has ended.... Maturity, but I don't want someone that's totally settled either.. like they're ready to be old, know what I mean? I think there's a difference. Us "old people" still have lots of time to have fun, and I don't plan on spending that time in a recliner every evening ((or something similar)).... I love, much of the time, just relaxing at home, but I think we have to get out and experience things... Might rot otherwise~~  | |

| What do women over 40 want? Posted: 10/30/2005 11:53:31 PM | Stability. To build a relationship, to feel loved, to feel young again to be inlove. To be trusted.
I hear it too much off my mother. | |

| What do women over 40 want? Posted: 10/31/2005 1:39:41 PM | hey angelstar take a look at the left if thats where you profile pics are located. I am moundpuppy. I can honestly say I don't want a bimbo in her 20s. I prefer a woman in her forties. I want a woman not a kid. I haven't went to look at your profile so i don't know your age for that matter. I am 54 and I have never found or wanted a woman that much younger than myself. I will date a woman from 35 to 53 and maybe a couple of years older but not younger. I have friends that are in thier late 20s and we have a blast when we spend time together but its not dating. As far as controling well if a man has to control then why be with the woman in the first place. and as far as judgemental well that depends on what you are referring to there. take the time to go look at the ladies over thirty five in POF and check and see how many of them are damn nice looking and if they can't pass as a trophy then some guys need glasses. See this is a two sided coin here. most of the ladies over forty want younger men so with that being the same in reverse. Do we look at it as the women want a hunk to hang onto or to just show off with. As I said it is a two sided thing and the way it is looked at. My biggest problem is distance with the ladies i have found quite interesting and to me attract my attention. That is ranging from canada to the deep south of the united states. So it is not the age factor it is by far the location in my issue but that is always up to change for the right woman. so as you said good luck in your search.

| What do women over 40 want? Posted: 11/1/2005 6:05:16 PM | re response from Grovecot "Well I'd say the following:
1. When you're over 40 you're much more comfortable voting with your feet. If an event isn't scratching where you itch then you don't hang around. Ergo, these events aren't scratching where the church-pot-luck women are itching.
2. Want to know what a woman over 40 wants? Ask her; she's old enough, sensible enough and comfortable enough with herself to give you a response.
3. Don't see these events as opportunities to hook up. Once you get to a certain age you know a meatmarket when you see it.
4. Supercilious, patronising attitudes such as "Women don't know what they want in a guy and; If what they want actually came in contact with them, they wouldn't know, because they're too busy deciding." get you the results you deserve."
Two words to Grovecot....MARRY ME! Well done, applause, applause!

| What do women over 40 want? Posted: 12/25/2005 10:40:49 AM | KSUE...exactly on point..way to go girl I find that in business I am very agressive, however with my personal stuff a bit shy on the line..I am 41 and I can honestly say I am not seeking out a man for his money, exactly the opposite, I like a man who is stable not dependent, a fun guy not a couch potatoe (all the time). someone that maybe has kids so we can share the commonality, and just a simple man, I like someone that makes me feel safe when I am with him,,but money doesnt come into play at all with me, I also think and agree that women are Shoppers as mentioned above, so as for the women that left the funtion above early..maybe they did not see anyone that they were attracted to, afterall it doesnt take women long to window shop..only my perception,,,not for all to agree Greetings to all my pof sweeties | |

| What do women over 40 want? Posted: 12/25/2005 3:46:20 PM | The church I attended for 25 yrs. had singles group. The men in there where not what I wanted in a spouse. I've seen many church singles become gossip and pick up joiints. I did not like their atmosphere. I only went for the all nite prayer groups. Even their christmas and new years pot lucks were sad for me. Old guys wanting young girls, young girls wanting old bfs, older gals fighting over the scrapes on men that were there, alot with no job, no car, no place of their own. Oh yeah, I had plenty of offers, I had the steady job, and car and own apts with my kids when they were growing up. Forget it dude, I am not supporting your .ss while you go to bible school and then you work part-time and play church leader while I work full time and go to night school to support the two of us. Heck no, no way Jose...  | |

| What do women over 40 want? Posted: 12/25/2005 8:05:21 PM | aye but catch a star if we all were able to be younger. then we would want to change the past. Now if we were able to change the past would we really be what we are over forty. Would not the ladies not loose some of what they had known even tho they remembered it. For even tho we remember such things we do tend to loose what we don't use. and being young would you not use what you would have as a younger person instead of the over forty person. I must say I have said a few times I wished I was 16 again and know what I know now. I would have to say I would have been a bad case for a humane society cage. they would have to change my rank in life to C--- Hound. actaully just kidding but I would have been more aggressive as a 16 year old. probably would not have learned what I have by this time again. Would have probably been married as well. maybe divorced a time or two as well. I would most diffenately have tried to changed a few things for sure. But I know that changing things would have changed the way some people are today and that being the case would that change have been good or bad. So many variables that can happen by being an age all over again for those variables could change the future in some way and possibly change our own and what and how we are as an older person in the meantime. But it is a damn good want for sure if for nothing more than to go back and see how it would have changed and if by chance it done too much go forward and then back to correct it back to what it was before.

| What do women over 40 want? Posted: 12/25/2005 8:24:00 PM | | I think I've found out you never know exactly what you want until you meet that "certain" person.. Then you do the, ah, ha, thing~~~~ | |

| What do women over 40 want? Posted: 12/25/2005 8:36:46 PM | | People in church, can be freindly to people they know there, but things just don't always cross their minds. Maybe they didn't know others think of them like that. Best thing to do is keep asking to pick them up for chruch events, where you can have some personal time toghter. If they have a way, keep asking everytime there is a event, until she asks why. Then say I was tring to get to know you better, because I like you. That should do it. | |

| What do women over 40 want? Posted: 12/26/2005 1:45:04 AM | | This over 40 year old is looking for love and hot passionate sex but I do value friendship the most so my lover must also be my friend. | |
|
| What do women over 40 want? Posted: 12/26/2005 5:27:15 AM | And hot and passionate is something we over 40's certainly are, but we are frustrated by the fact that we know we'd love to 24 again but with only on the condition that we keep the 40 year old head!  | |

| What do women over 40 want? Posted: 12/26/2005 4:43:49 PM | | Hi there not pretending to know about all of these women but I can say that being over forty I have a different view. I mean I was taught and it is still kinda ingrained that men should show interest first. I realize that times have changed but some peoples values don't. I believe that we (women over forty) want the same thing to feel like we are attractive and interesting and the person that make you feel that way you tend to hang out with more. I misread alot of signals and may appear standoffish but in truth its because some men are so vague with thier comments that I have no idea until later when my friends are laughing at me and then I feel bad for it appears that I treated them rudely without meaning to. | |
