The original post wasn't about men whining about not being able to find a younger woman to start a family with. It was the OP's concern for their chances of succeeding. It was really quite touching, although I originally mistook her motives for something less noble. My bad.

Heidi,

I don't know your age. Although I think you are middle age, I have questions about the number of different aged marriages you have had personal observation experience with. I under stand that it is your personal opinion, but you are unaware of the percentage of these successful marriages.

My daughter is married to a man my age. They have two sons at University and feel the same about each other today as the day they were married. She is still as gorgeous as the day they were married and have always been happy and trusting of each other throughout over the last 23 years. They go on vacations together to keep up the romance. They go on vacations with their sons to keep the family close. They go on separate vacations to explore their interest in that geographical location that the other one does not have that much interest in. These two have the best compatibility of any two people I know and they are 22 years difference in age.

Age doesn't mean one thing or another, either way. It is compatibility in two peoples personalities that is the secret for long success and happiness. If you take the personality test offered on POF (MBTI Type Indicator) and you find your personality match type, enter that into your profile and don't meet any other other type of men except your compatible match type and you WILL find your life partner. YOU WILL KNOW IT'S RIGHT. IT WILL FEEL GOOD TO BE MEETING PEOPLE YOU JUST CAN'T HELP LIKING INSTEAD OF THOSE THAT YOU FEEL LIKE CRAWLING AWAY FROM.

Slow Saturday AM,wainting for friend to arrive and help me clean&repair dryer vent hose...
Noodling thru some of the old forums and find this

you would probably still be attached to your previous S.O.

Yep, it pisses me off to no end that he died on me. And that I had nearly 25 years to learn what a good marriage looked like. It might be easier to find a "relationship" if I'd never learned what a quality one looked like.

I guess I'm "past my expiration date." Watering the lawn and reading the paper sounds entertaining.
Funny thing, I haven't actually expired yet, I do enjoy the company of a level-headed, intelligent woman of any age, I suspect I'm going to be around for another three or even four decades, I think I can still contribute something to a "family" situation, I even still have an interest in non-reproductive, recreational sex.


Do you think it's realistic for these men to hope that they will find a woman young enough to bear children, that has everything going for her that they had going for them back in the day, and start a family with them from scratch?

What is the life expectancy these days? Will these men likely be dying and leaving young widows with middle school children to raise on their own?

Those "mail order bride" websites make a ton of money, some guys actually do end up getting married from contacts they make there, so I think it probably is "realistic."
Yet for some reason, some women (likely the ones who reject balding, overweight, or "just too old" guys) seem to find something wrong with those rejected men who seek to marry younger immigrant wives.

Not sure what your problem is, you seem to have a lot to say about something that (since you "reject" men who may be "past their expiration date") is really and truly, none of your business.

Heidi,
I agree with you, and it works both ways. As soon as I see a lady's profile that says "I'm tired of the bar and club scene" or "time to settle down" I usually hit the backspace pretty quick. I get a visual of a woman who's tired of getting picked up and sleeping around or a woman who needs good medical coverage to pay for her meds for her emotional disorder or vinerial diseases she picked up over the years. Even though that's probably not what she is saying, I still get that picture and chuckle.
Have Fun,
Jamie
