What is this, the Gospel According to Cali? What about the 40-somethings on our own forum who are neither married, nor divorced, nor with kids? Get a clue! It's quite common these days for women to build their careers and then start looking for a mate once they're established. Some women (like some men) haven't found anyone yet by 40. I don't see you painting the OP and all other 40-something men with this brush. Time for a reality check.
I've always thought it was funny that men complain about the 'older, divorced with children, baggage ridden women' when they're usually the ones who CREATED these women in the first place. Lucky for the men, they get to skip on their merry way, pretending they aren't divorced and don't have children while the women are stuck with all the leftover responsibility and difficulties dating. You rarely hear about the difficulty of single male fathers dating...because there aren't a whole lot of those. The women get the children and the baggage and the men get a clean slate.
I've wanted to get married and have a family for a while now, but I'm realizing it's probably not worth it in the long run.
Nope. As a woman (LA native, no less) I have to say... I dated guys in their 40s and even 50s when I was in my late 20s-early 30s. It wasn't about money. Guys have no expiration date. Think Sean Connery. And just imagine how invisible you would feel if you were a female at 47...
Sean Connery, the wife-beating ape, would be among the LAST men I would want to date. Please pick a better example!
Despite all that, I had real low chances with the women this time. Why? Because I'm over 40 now, which is a plague for younger women. No matter how great looking I was in my 20's and 30's.
I'm already married, but I was trying to see what would happen "if". My conclusion .. over 40 = sexual oblivion. The realization was quite depressing. I need to come to terms with this before another ten years go by.
A married guy around your age (almost 20 years older than me) tried to pick me up also. I actually did think he was attractive, but why would I ever want to pursue something with a married guy 20 years older than me? Just focus on your wife please and leave the younger women alone!

Was it because he was married? Or was it because he was married AND 20 years older?

It was because he was married. If he had been single, I would've at least gone on a date with him although ideally I would prefer someone within 5 years of my age.
You say that, but not too long ago, I was working at a place with hundreds of people on site. The one woman the guys of all ages lusted after and talked about the most was 49. She would stop traffic walking outside. I've seen this quite a few times.
I've seen plenty of 50+ year old women that were absolute jawdroppers. But then again, they were all pretty serious about taking care of themselves. I think a woman in her 40's and 50's who looks athletic is a major turn-on. I know I'm not the only one who thinks so. I'm willing to bet there's a legion of young so called "milf hunters" out there would enthusiastically agree with me.
Note to self: idea for new reality TV show: 'MILF Hunters'.
There are some 50 year old hotties. From behind you would think they are high school girls, they are in such great shape.
Nothing personal, but I find it amusing how many men seem to believe that aging dosent affect them (men) and that they (men) will always be sexually desirable to women no matter their age but feel women are washed up at 30.
Its a hard pill to swallow, but we all age and typically younger men and women are attracted to younger men and women.
Perhaps many feel this way. But, I do believe there is a very high % of hot women over 30.
Maybe I'm unusual. I'm 50+ now. In all of my adult years, I have always been attracted to women of all ages. 20 to 70.

I completely agree. Youth does not equal beauty, though it is one factor. There are many, many attractive older women, and often, their personality and experience outweigh any minor flaws.
