Quote From: judithaI couldn't agree more with the older ladies! I feel like I have 3 strikes against me when I meet men.
If they are younger than I am (in their 30's or younger) they either just want Mrs. Robinson or they want to have a family of their own (strike one - I should not get pregnant again as my health is not up for it). If they are my age (in their 40's) then they are looking for women in their 20-30's (strike two - I'm not young enough because I'm 47 even though I don't look that old). If they are older than I am (in their 50's plus) they are so close to retirement they can taste it and they want the freedom of no kids or kids old enough to take care of themselves (strike three - I have a 6 year old and I am not free to take off at the drop of a dime).
So Dr Phil - what should we older ladies with kids do? Wait for another 10+ years until we can take off with the retirees on their freedom rides? Or "get thee to a nunnery"?
Looks like you give yourself the "no" on any age bracket a man is in, you just fill in the reason they aren't going to be a potential partner for you. Not all men over 50 are dating women in the 20's and 30's and some would love to raise a child.
We older men want to feel appreciated, respected and loved. Most of the women I have dated are a few years older than me. We have a great time. They are young at heart, have a healthy sense of humor and have a positive outlook on life. They take care of themselves. I enjoy their company and feel good being with them.
Remember even the pretty woman who put her fingers in the salad, made unkind remarks to her date and didn't look at him wasn't given a second date by all the men in the audience. She is attractive, young, and has a nice figure, etc. she had it all - well not quite! So, if you want to wait another 10 years just remember, you'll need to come up with a reason the 60 year old man won't be a viable candidate.
