You are a victim of feminism like everyone else here
You actually believe a 51 year old post menopausal woman is going to fall in love and respect the man of your dreams
Lol
He doesn't exist. But if he did, why wouldn't he date someone younger?
Have fun being "financial successful"
My reality does not conform to your opinion, lol. I have many good options as I always have.
I do enjoy my financial success. It renders me financially self sufficient and therefore not dependent on a man’s resources (which is something many men are afraid of here)
But there are also many men who want a woman dependent on them. For control. It is much easier to control a woman who relies on you financially.
Which creates a dilemma for a man.
Does a man risk his resources by pairing with a more dependent woman and gaining control but perhaps risking his assets at some point?
Or does a man chose a woman who doesn’t need his financial support but therefore will not be controlled by depending on him for resources?
As middle aged men come out of being divorced and split in half financially (that’s the general dating pool at my age) they can be quite leary of women who are dependent. I see that in my environs all the time.
And yes many of these men can date younger and some do. But substantially younger women typically want marriage and babies of their own. Many men my age have grown children & some are grandfathers. The vast majority do not want to raise babies again.
Especially not when they can choose a woman who also is done with having children and is able to focus her time on him and his needs who also still llooks good, has her act together and can offer him intellect and common life experience. I know many many many couples socially like this.
Focus changes after child rearing. Young men that are choosing a wife need to select based in part on what kind of mother a woman will be. That is a huge consideration if a man wants children. For those men, whatever the man’s age, he needs to find a nurturing woman who is young and has good genetics that he is attracted to.
Older men who are done having children & do not want additional children may actually avoid a relationship with a woman who eventually wants kids. It creates issues eventually.
I know a man now who is early 50s and has been dating a much younger woman for 5 years. She is financially dependent on him and they live together. She is in her early 30s. She is now pushing HARD for having children and she is very pretty. He has grown children and 4 grandchildren and does NOT want more kids of his own. So somebody in that relationship cannot get what they want/need. What is going to happen is she will bear his child or children or he will eventually lose her. He is trying to keep/control her through his financial support, but they fight a lot about this as they honestly are at an impasse.
There are plenty of older men who don’t want to deal with that kind of situation.
Older men tend IME to want a partner who can focus her time and attention on HIM. This is a different criteria than a younger man who wants to select a good mother for his future children.
Now if all a man wants is to get laid? Then none of that matters. But many men eventually really want a good partner at the end of the day. I have heard repeatedly from hardcore players that I know (and I know many) that it’s too easy and too empty just going from conquest to conquest to conquest. Had a long lunch yesterday with a friend of mine who had been a notorious player for years.
He settled down and left the game 18 months ago to date a good girlfriend of mine I introduced him to. He still has the urge at times to chase skirts. But he doesn’t because he’s found a great relationship and he’s very happy. He’s got kids & grandkids.
So realize that people’s priorities change with age & experience. I have no issue getting dates with desirable men.
