And I never saw a guys over 50 with women 20 years younger. Except celebrities who can really do it, all talk about guys preference to date women the age of their daughters is just a cliche. I see this repeated on this website many times and I wonder where it comes from.
I then met a nice man who passed away after only two yrs together. It has been 5 yrs since I’ve been with someone and I really miss the companionship. I agree that it seems to be much harder for women over 50 – or over 40 actually – to find men who are their equals AND who are interested in a serious relationship with them.
I am still waiting for one of you to find me so I can show you what true love really is, in this world where now https://datingwebreviews.com/gaper-review/ it is a rare thing indeed. There are many people who cannot let things go. Being bitter is not exclusive to men.
Brilliant and I can relate so much to you. You know I guess I have a different attitude than a lot of older men. We probably all need to feel loved a appreciated by someone whether it is someone our age or someone younger or even older.
Don’t let it rule your lives
All I want is a life partner, lover, and companion. I don’t care what a man does for a living or what type of car he drives. I want to be with someone who has a kind heart. Everything else means little to me. The Truth Teller…..it is sad that we women can’t find decent men because the lot of us are judged as you have described.
Dating in your 50’s – Easy for Men… Not so much for Women!
It seems counter-intuitive to say that people characterized by one attribute — how old they are — don’t care as much about age when looking for a companion, but it’s true. Young people are incredibly age-prejudiced, to such an extent that age is one of the most important filter criteria used to find a match on online dating sites. That being said, one major difficulty of having a large difference in age is making sure the morals, values, and life goals of both people are synced. Do you both respect each other’s careers? “Mothering” a partner, regardless of who is older or younger, can manifest into a power struggle later on.
Jumping into bed doesn’t set a good example for a wonderful monogamous relationship. It sounds like several of the ladies on this site have had underperforming men. Just remember Not all older men have this problem. At 58 I go to the gym three days a week , kayak, ski, bike,hike, eat healthy and take care of myself. I have no problem pleasing woman sexually and can’t wait to retire to spend time engaging in the things I love.
And the kicker is, I value a man for who he is, not for what he owns or has in the bank. I think it is just hard at this age to find someone, when most people have become selfish, self centered, or are too damaged to care. I’m worried that I come across as unsure of myself because I lived with a woman who could go from laughing and joking around to being in a total rage instantly for no real reason. If you’ve ever dealt with a child in the terrible two stage, you’ve seen this type of behavior. I just found it very difficult to cope when it was an adult doing it. Now that we’ve been divorced for a year, I find it easier to say what I feel to her because I don’t care as much.
And I realize you guys are being treated unfairly to pay for what some jerk did to a woman. People aren’t honest and kind anymore to each other. The other guy is only a couple years younger than I am and has known me for some time but only in a casual setting.
Some kind of clue as to what you might want to just pass on. I’ve perused this site, and its several areas. So many gals are so superficial and simple.
How many women do you have to approach, before one will say yes to a date? I have never wanted to be single in my life. I always wanted to have a woman in my life. I lost out on the most important time of life, to be in a relationship with a woman. Even as a teenager, I was constantly rejected by girls.
I’ve never had children of my own, have always wanted them, so I would absolutely welcome a man’s children with all my heart. It is hard, different reasons for different people, but so much is in the attitude. Things haven’t been as great as when I dated before, but it’s not total doom and gloom. Accentuate and develop the positive, that is my attempt, and your words help.
I wish you better tomorrows, filled with hope and love. I believe I speak for almost all the guys on here when I say you are a jewel among women and I believe any of us would have our lives enriched with you in it. Men above the age of fifty must accept a set of difficult truths. Women, for the most part, have torn up and discarded their half of the social contract that has underpinned Western Civilization for 2,000 years. To the majority of women, men are nothing more than disposable commodities. Debbie, the real problem here is that most women now are very spoiled and greedy.
I grew up close to the Canadian boarder in the US and came back years ago. Actually my last “girlfriend” was Canadian. I admit physical attraction still plays a big part of the original interest. I am financially secure, a good communicator and listener, and sensitive.
