I don't know Pirate girl, it's hard being single at my age (mid 40s). It seems like men only want the 21-26 yr olds that are looking for a sugar daddy. Why is it that? Experience should count for something.

I tried to send you some rep, but it said I had to spread it around first. This sums up exactly how I feel. I felt like a loser when I was single and in my 20s-like the odd man out. Now that I've been married and realize that when it's not a good marriage, marriage ain't all that- my perspective is much different I'd like a relationship, but not for the sake of having a relationship. I'll enjoy my single-ness until that happens

For what it's worth, not all us guys are like that. I'd rather find someone between the ages of 28-47. On the lower end because I still think about wanting kids someday, and I know it's harder for women as they get to be my age. On the upper end, I want someone I can relate to, and who knows who Karen Carpenter was.

21 for me in Illinois. All the best girls are taken. And normally they end up married or staying in a relationship for as long as possible. And once they are single they still won't want a thing with me

There has to be single women in Illinois. Come on, it's not like they marry on their 18th birthday.

You must be writing from the midwest or something? If you're concerned that all the babes are married, come to california, we have a much higher turnover and you're sure to find a vacancy!

Some of the best women I have met are married. And they are in they are 20 or younger(not any less than 18). I am not saying that their aren't single women here just not really the girls I'd like to be dating, and vice-versa.

Kids are not a hassle. Matter of fact they are easy. I raised 2 on my own. I want to raise 2 more. You obviously don't look at a woman and see a woman. You just see a mother with kids or what some call baggage. To bad so sad. And you wonder why your not getting any.
