I can understand not wanting to date newly divorced men - I went out with a guy a couple of times who was newly divorced, and did way too much sharing about the ex, financials, and what went wrong. That info came out on the first date while we were taking a walk. It was really awkward and uncomfortable. However, I can't speak to not wanting to date divorced men, period. Then again, OP is Catholic, and I am not.
However, not wanting to date dads - I am right there with her. Not every woman wants or even likes kids, or being around them. Would you really want someone who doesn't enjoy being around kids to be in a relationship with someone who has them?
My issue isn't the kids but the financial or drama aspects. I don't want to support the kids or the ex-wife or deal with the drama.
POF is bottom of barrel. If a woman is attractive, stable emotionally and a quality person to date, she would not have to go online to find a man- Those women should have plenty of guys hitting on them.
I have better luck finding men offline and I don't need online, I just used it as another option.
So what if it gets smaller? Doesn't mean I have to settle and I am content being alone if my choices are between divorced dads and no one at all. There are still men my age without kids.
People. She has stated repeatedly that she is a devout roman catholic. In the eyes of the church, if she were to marry a divorce, should would not be married at all. That does not seem judgmental (except insofar as I think the vast majority of the catholic doctrine is out to lunch) but consistent.
I am, but you'd be surprised how many people think I am unrealistic. I've seen upfront how a dad can be a horrible mate for me so I am honest upfront.
Are you located in a major city? I know you're very religious, which will probably hinder you the most as far as your absolutes, but there should be a fairly good number of bachelors in their 40s if you're in a large city. At least, I presume - I'm not near my 40s yet.

The part that is unrealistic is that you think you will become a mother at the end of this, not the part about marrying a single man without kids. No 40+ man who is seeking to start a family will select you.

A 40 year old man who still desires kids only has himself to blame for waiting just like I do. So if these men seek out younger women just because of the kid issue they are the delusional ones not me because I am open to adoption or not having kids.

I live less than an hour from Chicago so I look there.
