Like you I also have to keep stress at a minimum for my optimal functioning and wellbeing. I understand the importance and necessity of peace in my life, but occasionally I also enjoy some adventures. When I contacted men whose profiles I liked they didn’t have the courtesy to respond. I even found that one of the men who had a lot in common with me was engaged to be married, yet still had an active profile going.
I’d be more than happy to pay my way and so would a lot of other older gals. Good luck with that young gal you found, enjoy it while it lasts. Three years later we are still together & I never had to put up with these sexist game’s the woman in her mid 50s came up with. A’s a man in his mid 50’s dating a woman in her mid 30’s, I will tell you the reason.
I was faithful and loving in my marriage and in my other relationships. What I thought were nice men were actually liars, cheaters, and who were addicted to something…sex, drugs, and/or alcohol. Even at this age the immaturity level is astounding. Sorry that you’ve dealt with crocodiles. Not surprising at all to this 50-something guy. That “yet” comes from having my three children still living in the family home with me.
Why Older Men Like Younger Women (Even When You’re A Much Better Match)
It almost always comes out right on the first date and you have to engage in this wierd fake dialog. Unfortunately due to facebook memes, me too movements and such they are victims of their own bullshit, and have ostricized normal guys who would have given them a great life – it all is just a bit too much. Okay here I am, married later than the norm, had a son when I was 37, married for 22 years and found out my now ex had a penchant for VERY young stuff.
A Change in Relationship Dynamics
I also think where you live plays a big role. I have lived in several areas and their are culture differences. I grew up close to the Canadian boarder in the US and came back years ago. Actually my last “girlfriend” was Canadian. – If you BrazilCupid go to bars, you’re going to be far more likely to meet men with alcohol problems and who sit around too much. According to what I read on the net, I’m part of an ever-increasing cohort of men of all ages who’ve drawn the same conclusion.
Yes I know how to do it, and I happily please my man when I am in a relationship that is mutual and respectful. That means give and take on both sides. You accommodate my needs with caring and consideration and I accommodate yours. Well I am venturing out finally by starting university at night school, hopefully to meet women of my age group and trying to find a local mixed golf league.
When you meet the right one … YOU WILL KNOW! This came from my aunt who loved and adored her husband. She said there was no question, she just knew he was THE ONE. It’s good your questioning your relationship.
The way you take care of yourself is an indicative of how you feel about yourself. I don’t know if Peter is serious or not, but he is correct. I’m 55, super fit and good looking and I have no problem meeting and dating much younger women. I’m not a multi millionaire , but i have met extremely nice, educated, stable young women who want to have a real relationship and age is not problem.
“They may accept a woman’s ambition more, fulfill more parenting and domestic responsibilities, and be willing to be their cheerleader at work.” Sherman agrees that a woman who’s, say, divorced with older kids may have so many obligations to juggle that someone who’s accrued less “baggage” is often appealing. “They can just appreciate one another, and the moments they share.” To say that anyone dating someone younger is trying recapture their youth is an unfair generalization. But spending time with someone less tethered to family obligations and long-entrenched lifestyle demands can feel pretty freeing. Ever notice how quickly the years go as you get older?
Two single friends of mine in my age bracket cautioned me to think long and hard about divorce because they both said that the dating and romantic life for a single, 50-something man can pretty much suck. There just seems to be a paucity of fit, stylish, and “non-taken” single women in this age bracket. To prove his point, my friend and I set up a male & fake female profile on a popular dating site. We counted 20 (!) guys for every woman. Those odds are what’s known as a sucker’s bet.
Times really have changed, haven’t they? I don’t understand these many self-centered women that you speak of. I can’t imagine being so selfish and demanding because I was never like that with anyone. I am the most down to earth woman you’d ever want to know.
In an older woman-younger man relationship, the woman is sometimes called a ‘cougar,’ in reference to the animal’s predatory behavior. While some women embrace the term, most view it negatively or have mixed feelings about it. For anyone considering making a move towards an older woman-younger man relationship, we’ll be examining the benefits.
