Young women wouldn't hang with me for long.
What 25 or 30 year old would want to go to bed at 8:30 and get up at 5:00?


Sounds like heaven to me:tongue:

I think you're right.

Why would a man my age want to date a younger woman? They're good for fun but not intimacy. I have no desire to be a father again as I wouldn't live long enough to last my kids growing up.

I think it is the attitude of older women that make it hard for them. And the attitude of older men as well.


can you expand on the attitude reference...I think you may have something there but I don;t know what you mean...do you mean our attitudes toward each other?



I mean either side is not accepting of "flaws." We become set in our ways and don't budge.

that can happen. I think it happens more with young people now too. They wait longer and later to marry if they marry at all. I think a lot of that rests on women's financial independence and outdated/unfair divorce laws.

But with the older among us, I think men and women alike have perhaps done some conceding in the past and decided it was not worth it in the end....so at some point we decide if we are happier conceding on some things or remaining single. So yes I do agree with what you are saying. I don't think it always is true, but it makes pairing up less likely I guess.

I think this is true. I also think men/women date younger men/women to try and recapture their youth. People are in denial of their age; so they seek refuge in someone younger. Middle age/menopause does seem to make people my age very immature which I think this is why they can date someone younger as mentally they are probably the same age. They say they feel feel 30 so they can justify dating someone 30. I prefer to act my age age with dignity rather than trying to recapture my youth as that truly is what maturity is.

I feel 30 and act like 30 and would date a 30 year old...but, the secret to my heart is in a mature lady closer to my age. I won't be able to run around like crazy forever, which I would have to do if I connected with a young lady. Plus, to be blunt, they are not mature enough yet for me. Give me an older woman, even with infirmaries, so we can break down together...

I say this because I have a twice a week lunch "date" with a 20 year old. She is far from home in college, and I think the young ladies think of me as "grandpa!" Don't hurt my feelings none, and I get to keep up with what is trending with the younger crowd, although I don't know what to do with this knowledge!laugh

I don't feel like 30 but some times I can act like it. Bottom line is I am 52 with a lot of energy but that doesn't make me feel like 30. I have some young friends too and for a short while I could keep up but eventually their fast life style would probably kill me. LOL I prefer someone who is active but also knows how to act his age.

Hi All:Speaking from a Man's view:

It's just as hard for Men 50+ to date these Day's for many reason's,
alot of them unfair by Woman.

We are unfairly Judged by the past negative action's of other
Men in Your past.

Woman today-Seem to only See and judge a Man from the
outside,the Inner Quality's don't matter as they did
in my 30-40's.It seem's that if Your not being judged
by look's/it's your race,none of Which has anything to do-
with Who a Person really is-their value's-or What kind of\
Partner they will be!

I wish Woman Would take the time to get to know a Good
Man from the inside first-You may be happily Surprised
Who You meet and how they treat You!There are stile some
of Us Good Men stile left-wirth meeting-We just Want
a fair chance and You Want Us to give You-

If there is such a Woman in Rochester,NY
45-58 Who really Want's a Good Man-Hope You will read My profile\
and Write me back!I could be that frog-waisting to become
Your prince! Dave

It does seem to be a vicious circle doesn't it. A man won't look at a woman that isn't pretty and thin; so she can't get to know the real you as you won't give her the time of day.

I've said this elsewhere: as men and women age we loose trust (not desire) of the opposite sex. Many (older men and women) want to experience those emotions of love but are hesitant to open up enough to let someone have a chance. To afraid of being hurt again.

* Notes:
1. Not all men are only after sex and require a Barbie shaped woman.
2. Not all women require a man with a boat load of money and looks like George Clooney.

Both of these generalizations do nothing more than drive walls between the sexes.
