...one member of almost every couple would end up dying alone, right? Unless they somehow managed to die at the exact same time.
Good point. But there's a difference between spending years in a marriage and having one person die and having been divorced for years or having never been married at all and spending your older years alone.
If I lost my spouse to death when we were both in our 70's, I would be saddened, sure, but I would be able to look back on a long and full life both of us had lived. If I were in my 70's and had never been married, the dating game would long be over, I would be alone all the time. Likely no kids, unless they were had b an ex gf/bf. Perhaps it's just my view, but it seems a rather isolated and miserable experience.
Its funny, when I went back to the dating scene when I was 38 I had a horrible time of it. Now I am 43, and am having an amazingly fun time. OK, no ltrs really, but I am not so sure that is what I really want. I know conventional wisdom dictates that dating should be a nightmare over 40, but it really hasn't been at all.
So keep that in mind ladies in your mid to late 30s!
That is fantastic news OngletNYC. Wisdom does go a long way in dating at a certain age. Do you date men in your age group or younger? I agree that women shouldn't be made to feel bad based on being over a certain age, while men in the same age group date younger. Being past the 20's & 30's women are secure with who they are, have stability. And yes, they're sexuality secure in some cases. Being in my early 40's, at first, I wasn't open to dating anyone younger than 35, but now, I am completely open to it.
I'm in my 20's, and by the time I reach my 40's I hope I'm not having "the time of my life dating".
The 40's seem like a time you should have found the one you love, settle down, and have kids. You can't keep up the dating scene forever.
There are a lot of reasons why this may happen. In my case my husband passed when I turned 40.

If you stay in shape, have a good face, nice hair, yes as a woman dating in your 40s should be a dream. Guys from 30 to 99 will be after you. Sex? Most likely. Marriage? Possible, but somewhat of a long shot.
Why a long shot? That's prime marriage time for many women.
Unless you mean "dating" your already husband by then.
Someone from CD (not me) may see you across a crowded series of posts and threads and win your heart.
I wish lolIG4U, and hope I have a husband by then. Maybe to the cd posts. Lol.
I have friends and family whom met their husbands from online.
