Here's my take on this article
Where did all the good older guys go?
1)either fucking younger, more feminine women
2)or fucking younger, more feminine, and more submissive women in SEA, or EE
3)divorce raped to oblivion
I'm single. Not through choice but because of location, time and budget restraints.
No it was definitely by choice, you're lying to yourself
How is an older woman supposed to compete against what appears to be so many single young women all out to find themselves a prospective partner?
They don't, if a woman is your age and is not married has no kids, then that woman has lost the evolutionary game. You had enough time to get your shit together but you screwed it up, now the only time you can get companionship is through paying for it (either paying a man or the pet shop for a cat and cat food)
I will admit there are single older men out there. I have been on many dating websites to be able to come to that conclusion but have you seen some of those men?
See point #3, that takes the life out of men and besides, I don't think you have much room to be a pot calling black kettles black.
Is it that once most people - men and women - hit the age of 40 they turn the off switch in taking care of themselves both physically and mentally?
See answer above
I go to the gym regulary, not because I am in desperate need to get myself a man but because I am an older woman who wants to be able to have a long healthy life with her family. I see myself still getting out there in my 80s, walking, dancing and enjoying my life.
See above answers it doesn't matter, you're too old, you've lost, and yeah you ARE desperate. ANYONE that says "I'm not desperate" is desperate, we're not stupid lady.
So my question is: once you hit the 40s is what you are left with the scaps at the bottom of the barrell?
No, once a woman hits 40's and isn't a movie star/has enough money to spend a few grand a week on their body. Then that woman has NO choice AT ALL. Much less the "scaps"(that isn't a word by the way).
Don't get me wrong, I am not looking for superman or even Thor (wouldn't I be a lucky girl if I did though!!) but I would like to meet an older man who is still fit and healthy and taking care of himself.
See above
I tell my kids take care of yourself first, because if you can't, how can you expect to take care of someone else
I highly doubt you have kids
The men in my recent past (up until a few months ago) have all been at least 19 years my junior. Why you ask? Because younger men still have that drive to be fit and healthy. Thank goodness I can still keep up ... hahaha!
Pretty sure you are lying through your teeth, bragging through lies is pretty low, cat lady. Remember, we're men here we have experience with many guys in the past making up shit and bragging about it you're not as clever as you think you are lady.
Unfortunately, the reality is that I know when I go into them that those relationships won't last.
Let's be realistic ... why would a young man stay any longer than five years with a woman almost twice his age when he could have someone younger? I have finished having my family, he would be just beginning.
ugh enough of this shit. Look lady, you screwed up, you're probably not going to see another dick in your life ever again unless you start paying for it. give up and do something else. Or take care of your "Kids" which I'm sure are imaginary.
I am an Auckland West girl, where single men are limited and with a gangster mentality. I am not judging them all like that but come on ... we are being honest here.
Where do you go to meet a decent bloke that still has drive and ambition, is fit and healthy and NOT taken?
It appears that in order to find them, you have to go out and buy yourself somewhere to go. Long gone are the days when you could go to a local dance ... not to mention where do you find the time?
I am a single working mum. My week days consist of work, gym, cook dinner, bed ... next day repeat. Where do you find that balance - the location to meet real men and the ability to mingle without costing a week's worth of groceries?[/quote]

Man up fellas
After she's done getting pumped and dumped by young bucks going through a dry spell, some lucky chump will get the privilege of putting a ring on it.
Not at 40+
