I think I'm in the wrong city. But Atlanta was the wrong city too because when I was there I had no job, or not a stable job for the last few years. If I was still living in Atlanta with THIS job, it would likely be awesome, or at least much better. But women in Atlanta are materialistic, and I hate that. Now I'm literally stuck in one of the worst cities in the country, Oklahoma City. IT IS AWFUL, especially for online dating. The reason I rely on online dating is because I can't meet women any other way. There's nothing to do here. No league sports, no good singles groups, church is hit or miss (actually a miss to meet someone), etc. Dallas is a 3 hour drive and I may have to start spending some time there. But I don't know anyone there.
My experience overall, including when I have a great job, is that its just extremely hard to date in your 40's. But this is a male perspective. Its probably also because my divorce greatly affected my confidence. However, an attractive woman with no kids should have zero problem.
I'm in my mid-40's, and have not had any problems finding available, interested, interesting men to date. I am in excellent shape, run and work out with weights which I think increases my odds.
You're friend should have no trouble dating again at her age. She may find (as I did, also) that the guys in their early 40's are still looking at the 30 somethings. Dating guys a few years older remedied that, older guys are sexier anyway
Naw, he can live in my house if we want to live together
Naw, he can be semi-retired, like me. I'd prefer it.
True. I'm not going to take on his debts. There is also a character and personality factor, even more important -- I want someone who, like me, is responsible, honest, plans ahead rationally, etc.
Re: houses, the more common problem over 40 is that both people have houses and neither wants to give theirs up .
No women would ever know my credit business anyway lol

Would you marry her without knowing hers? If one of you has bad credit, or large debts, then you both do. Are you looking for a girl who is dumb enough not to ask?
