I think you're quite attractive, regardless of age, so you shouldn't have trouble getting a date in a more normal part of the country (a place where people don't marry so young). The car shouldn't matter either. When I was 25, I dated a guy who was 43 and was by no means wealthy - just an attractive man with an even greater inner beauty. I thought he was gorgeous, but I don't think the general public would find him gorgeous. Same with the man I'm interested in now - he's 50 and I'm days away from 34. It's all in the eye of the beholder. And while I don't seek out older men, I've just happened to find two who I'm really attracted to.

i guess its no different than a 35 yr old guy saying he will only date woman 25-35....nothing older,,,especially a woman over 40
i had friends that use to adhere to this in their 30's

i always thought age was just a number, its the maturity and chemistry

I am in my late 40's and my boyfriends over the past 13 years have been -

30 (when I was 42)
22 (when I was 43 )
55 (my first ever silver fox hubba hubba )
40 (perfect age for a man IMO).

I found to my delight that the old guy was just as delicious as the younger ones. In fact he had the best legs I've ever seen.

The difference is that at that age, men may want a family, and older women aren't likely to be suitable for that. Age matters when it is a question of fertility. otherwise, compatibility is a more important issue.

That's the impression I got. From the OP, he seems to feel just because he's blessed to look like he's in his 30s despite being 45, he shouldn't have to lower himself to date women his own age. Even if he may want kids, it just has an air of an entitled attitude.

It's not your car.

You were lamenting not being able to find a decent woman when you lived in Atlanta, and were so hopeful about relocating. And now you're in yet another undesirable city for dating? Is it the cities, or is it something about you? Are you giving off a desperate vibe? Are you too formal when people are more casual? Are you too uptight? Something, anything? Do you have any friends that can give you feedback, or introduce you to other single women?

What do you do when you're not at work? Do you go where women are?

Hmm I don't get that from his post,,his post just make him sound desperate ..Anyways from his post's it looks like it might not be that he CAN'T get younger women (by younger I mean mid 30's) it's that even women in that age range where he lives have already had kids and don't want anymore.

It does, which is why it struck a raw nerve with me. I am tired of older men contacting me when I did online because men my age were seeking younger. I don't want an old geezer, I want someone my age.

Not true. Im dating a certainly not wealthy and a not super handsome in the conventional sense of the word guy, he is almost 40, i just turned 30. To me, he is a catch. Super smart, interesting, a writer, a gentleman, an AMAZING kisser, great in bed, the best conversacionalist i ever met. I think any women with a bit of a brain would LOVE to date this guy, he is probably the most awesome guy i ever met.

So, yeah, the only conditions for someone older to be a catch arent HANDSOME OR WEALTHY. There are some kind of women who do not care about any of this stuff AT ALL.
