OMG OP what am I supposed to do? I am 62 and just got out of a 24 year marriage which produced 2 kids, the first after approximately 2 years of marriage. Do you suppose my termination date had something to do with it taking that long? No, wait that could not be because my dad was nearly 45 when I was born and he'd just come back from serving in Germany and receiving 3 bullets. And to think of the audacity of my wanting to start over at 62.

I see that you are only 49 but I of course do not know what the expiration date for females is though I do know some that are much older than me and still quite foxy. Hmmn, I notice that you have been a member since January 2007, that is more than a year. You are a nice looking lass, too with a nice set of boobs, Then there are the other kind of boobs - mental boobs.

It is just plain selfishness on their part. They want to party and run around with women with no strings and then when they start to get old, they expect to get some young woman to marry and have kids with. This cuts down the number of available men to women my age because they all want 20 year olds. Then they will get old and sick and die, leaving the young woman with all the responsibilies.

The thread that never goes away.. ..Does this all really matter?...The entire population does not think about this stupid subject...I value the OPs original opinion but its no more important than a younger woman chasing an older guy because he has money or an over 40 year old woman chasing younger men...Whatever works for ya...My original response was because a 49 year old woman (who is clearly) in the same age bracket as these men , "place an expiration date on men"...If you want to date or marry a monkey, "Go for it"...These kind of threads touch a nerve with men my age who dont date woman under 40..Not to say we havent...You over 40 woman are no better off than we men over 40...If two people fall in love and are 20 years age difference, "Is it really my place to put them down and cause a big stir about it"...I dont think so...

And women also have medical/exercise/surgical options available to tighten up "slot B", if it becomes needful. Incidentally, that issue is GENERALLY from having given birth to children. That 25 yr old hotties love tunnel will stretch, too, after she's popped out a couple of kids.


Nah... I like pokin fun at ya...

Apparently you seem to take it to heart. I think Ive said it before... I dont date. Younger or Older. I havent met a woman yet that doesnt have some underlying psychosis just waiting to spring forward. And of the few I do know and care about, they accept it... we have fun. Yeah, popped out a couple of kids, usually with some lame ass that doesnt have any sense of responsibility... On the hunt now??

But as for you...... ROFL.... No hope.

Realistic or not they expect it. So where does that leave the 40's and 50's single gals?
Used for sex and dumped? Our choices as we get older are limited. So gals in our age range must seek older, foot in the grave guys.. where's my depends kind.. Or have a youngin with his hand out.. When a man who is older looks in the mirror he does NOT see the bald head, the hair growing out his nose, the fat stomach, the sagging skin.. He has a special mirror that tells him he is a hot commodity, and that he's the king.My advice to a younger woman marrying an older man is to get a big ass insurance policy and pay it faithfully. She and the children will be left holding the bag if not.
So my dear.. I have to say this is one of the most intelligent posts from a young one I have ever seen..

This post is so delusional. There are usually six or seven Sam Shepards or Sam Elliots for every Susan Sarandon out there.

What these men do is to marry an überhottie when both are in their twenties, then cheat on her throughout their marriage. Then he'll trade her in on a newer model.

Most of the men I knew who were scorching hot when they were 25 are still volcanic at 55. I could provide picture proof, but I don't think it would be necessary. Of course, once they age, they usually can't get the top tier 25-30s unless they have money, but they can do pretty well with the second stringers and third stringers, as they are usually still hotter than the 28-33 year old men for whom these women would otherwise have to "settle.

I can't remember how many times I've read on this board "I only find one out of 10,000 men attractive, but, you know, I only need one!" Well, guess what? Usually, 10,000 other women find that man attractive as well. So, that guy gets chased by a lot of women and 9999 men wonder where the action is.

Unfortunately, I think very good looking men have a real, powerful advantage that even very good looking women don't have. They are comparatively rare, and thus market forces favor them throughout their lives.

sobeit19, "Men do see the aging process taking over"...Your wrong...Maybe some of the over 40 woman should look in the same mirror...This thread was started by a woman who is clearly over 40...Expiration date is right...
Maybe these sites are really full of weirdos that cant except the aging process and try to get their jollies out chasing younger folks..Im not sure...I have yet to see a woman on this site that is over 40, that does not look her age..Maybe a little younger...
Me Im fine with my age...Im perfectly fine with dating within my age range...
This whole idea of older men dating younger woman is no worse than the older woman chasing the younger men...
The over 40 woman find it a bit disgusting for over 40 men to date younger woman, "older men find it jus as disgusting that over 40 woman date younger men...
In the big vast world, "Do folks with class that a good sense to themselves do these stupid things"?..Most stay in reality and laugh it off...Internet dating sites...A place for the weirdos to get even weirder..

I don't care what anyone else does. I continue to be attracted to a man around my age as I age - always have been, always will be.

I know for a fact that some men and women can look good at 30,40,50 and yes even 60 (that soka aerobics instructor looked 35/40 - not 60!!).

Yet one of the reasons I go to the gym and look for a partner who does the same.

I agree with you,I try to exercise 3 times a week,I don't want to take a heat attack showing some girl who da man, when I meet someone thats the first thing I check out,their level of health,which goes hand in hand with their sex appeal ,the condition of their skin,their hair,teeth,we won't get into their clothes,lol.Just sit in a mall and see what I mean, 85% of the population is undatable!.your totally right ,your stock plummets if you let yourself go,a woman likes a man that can protect her and is a little agressive to get what they need,and pick the kids up over his head.I don't think a woman would say to another,"oh and did you see that gorgeous beer belly on him"lol. by the way ,where the hell did you get that body of yours,damm woman,are you trying to make me walk to texas?

Are you saying people can't or don't change?? Everyone get's stuck in the same rut and never turns left or right??

If your in the Good Old USA I think we have free will and if one wants to wait to start raising a family at say 80-90 good for them if they have a willing partner...

I'm in that Old Old Age group your talking about late to mid 40's and for myself I wish not to start a family. But I'm not the guy or guy's your talking of and I wish them the best and you too in your future...

I like bubble boy's post - One of these day, hopefully, people will stop trying to box people in as to what they should be doing according to their age or skin color. I've way passed my expiration date by your standards, but have never been happier by dating people of all ages, and am looking forward to working with kids that are underprivileged, but going to college via the Catholic Church's funds (Boys Hope/Girls Hope).

LOL!
I was married for nearly 25 years and he died. I don't WANT another husband or even to live with a man. So hope isn't all that much of an issue. I just hate to see ignorance and stereotypes used as a defense for a position that nobody gives a rip about anyway.

If I find a good man,attractive to ME, who has managed to get the hell over himself, who wants a NONmarital, NON cohabiting,mongamous romantic/sexual/companionship type of relationship, that'll just be the icing on the cake. I don't need to, or CARE to, be involved in a bunch of "damaged man drama".

Mostly I'm here for the fora, the and the

No, it just weeds out the delusional and the dumbassed.

If a woman marries a man significantly her senior, and has children with him, she was prepared to accept the risk of being widowed with young children still at home.
I don't see too many of those 20 yr old marrying old farts that are broke and homeless...

Dont want? or cant find??

Obviously you give a rip... of course you do... Why else continue to post about the subject... ??

Wow, with criteria like that.... I hope you packed a lunch.. its gonna be a while. Ever consider that is exactly why the older guys go for younger women? Personal preference aside, any man your age, instead of a happy go lucky woman on his arm, would be trading that in for an apparently bitter old one. I would rather have a single life, enjoying myself, with the occasional young flighty chick... than what you discribed... yuck!

It is an interesting world isn't it. I would suggest that in fact the converse is true.

The older I've become it seems the more "irresistible" to the opposite sex I've also become.....and that is from someone who describes himself as "big,bad,bald and bearded"...and probably bloody ugly too!

The fact is, with these dating agencies/sites, women under 30 are in demand as there appear to be more men than women. The ratio gets reversed after that and, as we men get older, we get rarer...perhaps we die off much more quickly!
In fact, did you know that gentlemen over 45 are in great demand on cruise lines to act as hosts and can get free cruises...and you don't have to look like Richard Gere either!
I have never been happier and more at peace with myself.

Heidi - you are so right hunni, and there is the problem, women tend to want to get out and have fun, holidays, they worked hard getting homes and families sorted and now its their time.

Mens idea of settling down, is to find a woman who will cook and clean and sew and shop and care for him just like his mother did.

The men do say "I have had my fun - now its time to settle down"

Maybe thats why women are not getting dates off singles sites.

Not so sure where you get your ideas about men and settling down... Maybe from Cosmo or something???

Because I do my own cooking, sewing, cleaning and shopping... without the need of a woman. Maybe women aren't getting dates because they dont have realistic expectations of Men. Their ideals have been so formed by popular media, that they tend to blow off those guys who would be considered "boring," you know the stable guys, the ones that have responsibilities, a JOB...... for that "bad boy".... the one they feel the need to "save" from himself.. that sits at home playing video games while you're out working to support him... Maybe thats the reason... LOL!!

Or your all nuts....

As a woman who is supposedly past my expiration date, (I'm 52) I can say the men I've dated around my age and older, who have passed their expirations dates, generally want to go fishing, go to dinner or watch movies or "cuddle on the couch". Well, guess what - I raised my kids and I'm ready to have a life, and that doesn't mean sitting on the couch watching the tube!

I say more power to the older guys who want the younger women so they can "settle down" and have kids! You men - go for it and good luck! Have fun listening to your 13 year old telling you how life works, because you are "old and out of touch with reality". Enjoy sleeping on the ground in a tent with your 10 year old when you are 60+. Oh, and don't be too embarrassed at your kids graduation from high school when everyone points out how young the kids "grandfather" looks!

In the meantime, I've had more fun dating men who were younger than me, and in fact, my partner, whom I love to bits, is almost 8 years younger than me. I have a female friend who is 56 and will rarely date a man over 45. And she is never lacking for company.

There are times when I have bought a game over paying a bill..... But life happens that way.

I spent 9 months in Scotland... Would go back in a heart beat! Except for all the bleeting sheep... that got annoying...

Here's the problem. Their value has fallen. Now they are older, balding, one has IBS, one was in a profession that was extrememly well paying back then but not really any more, one has an attitude of "i've had my fun, now it's time to have a family"--is he saying the good times are over and from here on out its watering the lawn and reading the paper? I don't know.


To the orginal poster. IT is called LIFE.... everyone gets older and change... and dont tell us that YOU AINT or YOU DONT! That would bea load of crap. You're simply just like "EVERYONE ELSE" as you say, who just seems to want the younger people. You NO BETTER then every one else. So you're like the Pot calling the Kettle black. Get over it!
