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!
Being in your 40s is not old...It's young. Dating in your 60s will be another matter- I suggest you settle down with someone...You will not be young forever. You could end up alone at the end.

If I find someone with whom I am compatible, I will. If not, I won't.
I enjoyed dating in my 40s. I knew who I was and what I wanted, plus I was very happy with my single life, so if a guy wasn't the cherry on my sundae then I really had no trouble moving on.

I would imagine that you have no interest in putting up with bad behavior from potential dating partners and cut them loose a lot quicker than you probably did in your 20's. I know I wouldn't be willing to put up with any BS if I were back in the dating pool (I'm also early 40's).
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.
The problems don't start en masse until your 50s. That is when you come to the stunning realization that guys your age aren't looking for women your age.
I look at what's inside far more than I did in my 20's. I am more established and know what is a deal breaker (dads) and what is more of a preference (smoking, weight), and what used to matter but doesn't now (height, income etc).
Plus all your crazy hormones have settled a bit so you can think clearer.
Yeah, menopause is famous for making us easy to live with.
