b52s Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I was browsing throught he "Why men date younger women" thread, and it got me wondering. I am a late 30's single man, who is single, never married, and no kids....and I think men of this particular status are attracted....still...to younger women. Why? Mainly because they TOO have never been married, no kids and single, lol.......the women their age are probably divorced once or twice with 2 or 3 kids he would have to deal with, and since he has no kids of his own it would be an inconvenience to deal with someone elses kids. Any men here of the same status? 30s and 40's , never married, no kids....have an attraction for mid 20's women? If anything, these men would probably date single mothers, but not marry 'em. Because that would mean having to live under the same roof as her kids.
sagetalk Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I'm in my late 20's, never married, no kids, and I've mostly dated younger women. I want to have kids someday and the older the women you pursue, the more likely she already has kids, or doesn't want them. If I found a girl close to my age who was also never married, no kids, and wanted to have kids, I wouldn't hold her age against her. I do not want to marry a woman with children since it would make having children of my own much more difficult. I feel 25-30 is your best shot. The girls are just starting to get their life in order, and many of them are looking for a stable partner to raise a family with.
JamesM Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I am married with kids, but would like to add something. Is it possible that men in their thirties....never married, no kids....still FEEL as if they are in their twenties and are just out of college? Could it be that you feel you have more in common with the younger women because you feel younger than your age? Even now for me in my forties, I don't feel any older than 30 or so. Yet I know I am. If I were to date again, then I think my target age group would be women in their mid thirties...because that is how old I feel. Just a thought.

Exactly.....I "feel" that way....I see cute waitresses that are that age all the time and I'm always checkin' them out at the TGI Fridays or Chilis lol But, there comes a time where a girl starst to actually "LOOK" TOO young to me.... But...however, depending on the situation, I might even be open to dating women even MAYBE in their early 20's But, I'm more of a LATE 20's guy....typically, but the Barely out of college-aged women still kinda appeal to me in a way. But you're right on that...thats how it Feels, James, I guess in a way we can related to the younger owmen, because they too have never been married and have no kids....nor been down that "divorce" experience. Friend of mine who is my age , guy friend...37, has no kids, and he wants kids someday actually...he dated a 24 year old...but she two timed him (that's the only problem, immaturity...and didn't communicate the fact she started seeing someone else behidn his back)

I’m 40, single, never married and no kids. I work out 4-5x a week. I take care of myself. I have a great career, lots of friends, etc. When I have tried dating women my age, they almost all have kids and have been married and divorced. I personally feel like I deserve a shot to be married to someone who has never been married before. Someone I can experience marriage with who hasn’t been through it all (and thinks they know it all). I predominately date women in their mid 20s-mid 30s. I have found that maturity is by no means “age related”. A lot of the women I have met in their mid 30s just don’t have their crap together (no career, no goals, can’t manage their finances, crazy exes, etc). In all fairness, I too didn’t get my crap together until I hit 35 so even if I had gotten married, I would probably have been divorced myself. So my desire to stay single until the last 4-5 years was mostly due to me realizing I wasn’t in a good position to be a great husband. The problem now is I am in PERFECT position to be a great husband but my dating pool is starting to dwindle. There’s a lot of really good women out there who feel I am too old – and that’s fine, I don’t need to waste my time on them. But I also really do not want to get involved with someone who has kids or has been married. So – I’m either patient or I try to rush things and make a mistake. Right now, I am content and happy being single. If I never get married – so be it. I’m definitely not going to let that fact ruin the fun that I am having now. It’s a nice goal to have but not one that should possess someone.
Yukikazi Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I'm 33... my age range is 22-34 Though I have ended up with a 21 year old for a short time.
