I am turning 40 next month. It has got me to wondering what the single life is going to be like with me in a brand new age catagory now. It is hard to juggle the " DIVORCED MOM" and the "ACTIVE SINGLE" life. I just thought that some of you single parents might have some input on how, if any, things change after your 30's are gone.

Considering the fact that I am over 100, great.

Actually most women that I know feel like they are just entering the prime of life.

So look forward to it, celebrate it.

I am still pretty new at this single thing. I never imagined I would be 40 and single! But.. I like it alot. I am my own person and can do whatever I want, pretty much. I have found though that it is much much harder being single at my age.

Thanks for the response, Lydia. I have a sister that just turned 50! She looks great and is in the prime of her life. I hope I still look that good at 50! People tend to think she is younger than me.

I'm about to be 57 cheering

And the best thing about it is that I can see men clearly now...without the hormones clouding my vision rolling on the floor laughing

I can read men like a book!

Plus, all this experience makes me a secure and interesting person.

Growing up does not mean growing old!!!!

Well I have 3 yrs til I'm 40
I'm having the time of my life being 37
& single so I don't really see how 3yrs
is gonna make that much of a difference.
To me age is just a number.
I am finding out that the older I get
the more I'm getting hit on by younger guys.
So I guess you could say that a good plus
for getting older.

It is harder to date (but easier to be single). When I was in my 20's I had no problem meeting 'guys'. I made a lot of good friends in my 30's but was my social life was very much centered around my daughter. Now that I am (maybe) ready to have another relationship I have a hard time meeting anyone who isn't either married or too young or old.

After being in consistent relationship for 20 years then a very painful and devastating end of my marriage I found myself with no confidence and social and flirting skills at about a minus on the old dating scale.

Today not the case thanks to my willness to get out if the funk, this place and some very close friends I'm backapplause and I like being signal and I like myself and even like women again. It's all in who you look at, feel about it and participate in itgrin

Every decade gets better and better hon!

I have less inhibition, more sense of humour, more spunk and spirit of adventure than ever, and I'm 52.

Age is just a number - how old would you be if you didn't know how old you are? hug

wave I loved being 40. I had many men want to date me and as you said, younger ones. Of course I had to try it. Yes, he was 12 years younger than me. It was fun for awhile. But the age difference got in the way in the end. His, not mine.
I think in my 40"s I was the most comfortable in my own skin. And my drive was much better than in my earlier years.
So, enjoy it. Personally, I think it is a very good time of life for a female.yay
