Pot calling the kettle black. You are both delusional about your age-to-appearance correlation. Not sure why you both think it's important to repeat this ad nauseum as it is clear that your perceived appearance of youth has done neither of you any favors thus far.

Learn to focus on the big picture and on things that yield greater return.

It's funny how people can say rude and crappy things under the umbrella of "just being honest"

What you're missing is your youth and a sense of reality. Rarely young 20 something's is going to want to marry a 35 year old woman with two kids.

LOL... no doubt.... if I was 25 or so that scenario would be at the bottom of my list.

True of most 20-somethings, but not all. Plus, the OP's ex is currently in his 20's, still. The age difference didn't faze him, it seems. So I wouldn't rule it out. I think the younger dudes are hitting her up because they see her pic and message her before they read her profile and find out she's nearly 10 years older, and has kids. But she says some of 'em are still interested even after all that is made clear.

So, it's worth a shot as long as she goes into it cautiously, and without expecting a lot, IMO.

Here is one area where men and women are different. Men complain that they get friend zoned or nice guys finish last when the reality is that the woman didn't find him attractive enough. Women complain that men only want sex and won't commit when the reality is that she is attractive enough to have sex with but not attractive enough to be GF material.

Women friend zone, men FWB zone. Yes women in their 30s can date and get laid by men in their 20s but will they get a relationship out of it? Not likely. Women then get confused and think they are more attractive then they really are because they are getting sex but blame the men for not committing. Women friend zone, men FWB zone.

A good 99% of those guys are just looking for sexual experience. I wouldn't waste my time on them if I were you.

"Hit it and quit it"... I believe is the derogatory term of the day......... most low 20s something's don't have any plans to get with a woman in her mid 30's with a couple of kids... the OP can delude herself all day... but the cold hard fact is that in those demographics of young 20 something's... she's a FWB at best... harsh... but most likely a reality......
