Why is it that when most men meet me for the first time in person, they are flattered and impressed; however, my age (41) often becomes an issue for them. Are men really that turned off from women over the age of 38. I value all your feedbacksdunno

After reading your profile and assuming you're dating men in the age range you're 'seeking' ... I highly doubt you're going to get an answer.

Welcome to the forums handshake

I am not sure I understand your statement. I chose men 35-47 only because (research) shows that only men in those age brackets are into long term relationships with women my age. I could be wrong; that's why I am open to your feedbacks. :)

I meant that there is no valid reason that your age would be a factor to men 35-47. Any man in that age range must have a reason specific to him why 41 would be an issue, to him.

I know this will sound trite, but just keep searching. A 6 year age gap shouldn't be an issue to most men.

Thanks for the feedback...to be honest with you, I've always been attracted to older men; even when I was in my twenties.handshake

He may very well be interested in you, but he is thinking having children may be an issue for you, compare to someone 10 years younger. Or, he may realize you are not into playing games. No offense intended here.

It's funny you say that because I don't just date single men, I also date divorce men. I realy think it's an age thing. Thanks for your feedback!

I have to say that i have not had your experience with the age thing...rather the opposite (I'm 42)...

I find that men have become moreso attracted to me when they do find out my age...and mostly younger men at that...

Women are in the "prime" of their lives in our age bracket...and nothing is more "tempting" to a man...than "prime"!!!wink

Everyone has their preferences. That is completly normal.

Just means that they were not meant for you and that the right one is still out there waiting for you to come along.

Do not take anything personaly. You seem like a great woman. Just be patient and take things one day at a time.

The best of luck to you on your search!

cheers

Since most men are not responding, I stand correct on this one. You see ladies, the men cannot respond because it would interfere with their tactics to meet women on here (this is meant for the players only). I do believe that there are great men on here, seeking great women.

I've done some research on the age thing, and this is what I came up with. Keep in mind that I am only the messenger... :)

Many men after the age of 40 go into midlife crisis...in order to deal with the crisis, they develop hunger for younger women. Ever notice that when you read the profiles of younger women they usually read "I just want to have fun" ...got the pic. Usually, these younger women are more into having fun. Many of them are not necessarily ready for a committed relationship. These older men going through midlife crisis date these young women in order to feel good about themselves.

For example, how many times have you walked down the street and see an older unatracted man, with a beautiful (young foriegn) girl at his side. You all know I'm right on this one! jaw drop

Well from what I've experienced, you are right. I believe it has to do with immaturity however. Do I really want THE man who's just into having fun? No. I want the man who's secure enough in himself to age gracefully and who wants a woman who is secure as well. Love comes from being secure with one another, it blossoms in security. If a man just wants a good time he will find it, good, frees up the airwaves for the real men who are looking for something real. There are fabulous men out there who do want love and not a fling, yes few and far between, but they are there. Sometimes we ourselves do not see it though.

I hope you find your darling, and when you do you'll know it. And as for the "good time Charlies" well guess what? The girl who now just wants to have fun will indeed burst his bubble with expectations and demands at one point and then he'll get his!
