I am friends with a group of about 12 women, all age 50-51. We all went to college together and although we are scattered around the country, we do get together in various groupings quite often and we communicate a lot. 10 out of the 12 of us are divorced, and I am the only one of that group of 10 who has not remarried or gotten into a new committed relationship.
I have to admit the the Hs and BFs among this group are generally nice enough and treat my friends well... but...yeeesh! I can't imagine wanting to date any one of them, much less marry them. It seems like most of them are either functioning alcoholics, freeloaders or old geezers, and my friends often complain about the asshatted things they have to put up with.
Now what is the common denominator here? Is this all that is available to college educated professional women over 40? My experiences in the dating world seem to bear this out.
I have to admit that I would prefer dying alone and being eaten by my cats than compromise my standards just to have "someone."
Is there hope for me, or should I just try to make sure my cats know where I keep the extra Purina... in case of emergency?

LOL, I think there is definitely hope for you.
Women who attract, and find attractive, guys with those kind of issues have issues themselves.
Not saying they are "bad" women or even "crazy" - just that (again) water seeks its own level.
Keep you level deep and you'll attract men of the same depth
Honestly I know a lot of people on their second marriages in your age group and I'm not seeing the kind of stuff you described.

If I was 50 and still single, I would just move to Thailand or something and marry a young pretty Thai girl. I'd much rather have that than an old entitled American lady.
I have the same take with respect to the couples I know that are on the second time around. I usually expect a lot of burping and farting going out of them, even if they don't. It's all a compromise, you can be alone or you can put up with someone who will irratate you unitil you or he dies. The women are not really great catches either
I tell you what, I gotta get married and divorced, then remarried to experience this.
That being said, I' not a major drinker, nor freeloader now, and I sure as hell won't be either one of those 10 years from now.
