8 Things You Should Know About Dating Older Women
You can feel it when someone is mature and has lived enough of life to be compatible. My late father once told me that if a man reaches age 65 and can count 5 GOOD friends, he will have done well. Not mere acquaintances, but good friends who are there for you in time of need and vice-versa.
I can understand men not wanting to date someone who looks like a grandma. If you look great and take care of yourself you deserve to be with a woman who does the same. I am attractive, caring, and look much younger than my age, but I don’t feel I have the pick of the litter. I am finding that men around 50 can’t be bothered with honesty or respect, if I can find a suitable man at all. At 50 I just want a nice guy my age in reasonable shape to share my life with.
You may discover some surprising cultural differences.
Seriously Anonymous….are you even real? I keep reading your post and it’s evident that we share the same views on life and that is not something I find often in men today. You are so right in that technology has made a big difference in how we communicate and https://legitdatingreviews.com/malaysiancupid-review/ meet people. While it can offer convenience, it can also be cold and impersonal. I find so little satisfaction in it. What puzzles me is that – given a surplus of smart, attractive, together women over 40 – why don’t more women get together with other women?
They are pathetic Kardashian wannabees. They are glued to their phones, brainless and want a sugar daddy so they don’t have to work. I prefer to be a natural, fit, healthy, outdoor loving, down-to-Earth, independent woman compared to a fake, shallow, brainless lazy one. Fourth, don’t carry the “baggage” of previous relationships into your next one. If your first husband, boyfriend, etc. cheated or lied or stole from you that does not mean that the next will. But be cautious because it also does not mean that they won’t.
Romantic relationships simply aren’t as important to men as they are to women, at any age.
Many age-gap couples do not display ulterior financial or professional motives. It’s been 4 years did you find someone? Every relationship is a compromise so every relationship would be settling.
I spend a good chunk of my life being respondible. However, I really want a relationship in which my partner is foremost my ‘girlfriend’ and she acts that way. But she wants to hold hands, smooch in the movie theatre and never turns some opportunity because ‘its late and I have to get up in the morning’.
I am getting so tired of trying, and so tired of being hurt. When I love someone I give everything…..and it is becoming too much to deal with the rejection anymore. Heck….I am not perfect by any means, but I am honest and respectful, and I try to be a good person…putting others first, often before myself. I am funny, attractive, and intelligent. You would think this would be enough for any man….but so far no takers. Ive read many stories where women have selected their partners solely based on income rather than attraction.
I am an idealist, but times have changed. I don’t see that many men take care of themselves or care to have any type of affectionate relationship. Either they are content to be alone and play around or they don’t have the balls to take on another relationship that requires work and dedication, all because they have been hurt. But I still know how to treat a man…with respect, understanding, and acceptance. Dealing with men in their 50’s to try for something meaningful has been a big disappointment for me at 52.
I see this repeated on this website many times and I wonder where it comes from. The whole idea of “upgrading” to a younger woman and leaving a wife for a younger “model” is just a lie. Sometimes, but very very rarely I see a woman years younger married to a 50+ guy but only when she really needs the stable life and support. They ALL come with children and usually they are from different countries so they also upgrade the lifestyle for their children.
I’ve given up on the search and resigned myself to figuring out how to live out the rest of my lfe in a meaningful way. I figure if God wants me in a relationship he will plant a man in front of me. Study after study for hundreds of years show that men look on the outside – initially and women look for money. So both men and women are superficial. Hey Carl, it’s You’re the man, not Your.
