I find so many of my friends can't find "a good man" but then you get into their requirements and it's ridiculous. I am 41.

At this age, almost all guys have kids who are single/divorced and my friends want to be their only baby momma or to be the focus of the guy's entire life or not have him talk to his ex.

A lot of the guys our age are broke from paying alimony and child support and they want the guys to be wealthy. Also the economy sucks right now and a lot of good men are underemployed.

They will not date a bald guy. Yet at this age, most of them have had their hair migrate off their head, down their back and to the azz.

They want the physically fit super built men. Most of those guys blew out knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, by now playing sports

They don't want the guy with glasses.

Not all women are that way but I know so many and then they wonder why they are disappointed.

Any thoughts?

I was just thinking about this. About women and all of their criteria. Don't forget men have to have everything in their life together and be perfect.


Men have all kinds of preferences, too. This isn't just a woman thing.


Thanks for this nice effort for avoiding generalization again.

Hey ujGearhead,
And do you have an active social life which includes dating?

I do... and I've been accused of being a "player". Sometimes, a guy just can't win!


Oh, did I mention that I don't watch sports and can dance???

Maybe that makes up for the lack of ponytail?

:-)




Where's sweetestgirl? She's been looking for someone who doesn't watch sports!

Might be true for some women but definitely not for me. It is a double edged sword. I'm 55 don't look it as you can see from my pic but I have more grey hair than red so dye it these days and I wear partial dentures. Does this bother me, yes it does and I have to give myself a mental shake and think the poor guy is probably just as worried about himself, probably got grey hair, dentures, is bald/going bald etc etc., but at the end of the day we all grow older and in any case, it's what's inside that counts.

My son is only 25 and like his father he's gone prematurely bald. Does it worry him and put the girls off? No.

Patrick Stewart who plays the part of Captain Jean Luc Picard in Star Trek, The Next Generation is bald and in my opinion is one of the sexiest men around :)

Shannon Marie 21, my non-negotiables are the same. She must be pretty and slim.

My negotiables are US gov bonds, American Express Traveller's Cheques, Swedish Gesunderandener, and gold nuggets.

Sorry, no Chiclets.

Some men and women alike have some unrealistic expectations.
Definetly at my age.
I avoid those and just go with the flow.

I'm not bald....I just prefer to shave my head. Wore my hair very long for many yrs. Can still grow a nice head of hair if I want to.

I am physically fit, in the best shape of my life at 52.

I'm not broke, but have paid much child support. My kids are grown with kids.

My expectations are an Honest woman with Integrity. A sense of humor, respectful of others, and a nice figger.......

Those are a lot of the reasons a lot of people spend their Saturday nights dateless.

Exactly. I am no longer a young, thin hottie and most guys my age are looking for someone they can relive their youth with. But, I understand what you are saying. The good ones out there probably run into just as many shallow women looking for hard bodies and money. The fact is, male or female, there's not that great a selection for a good partner in life. So, when you find one, hold on tight.

I am kind of amazed how often people will walk right past people who would treat them fine, even treasure them, to run after some kind of phoney romantic scenario. Instead of seeing a person in a repsectable safe place they are willing to meet in some sleezy bar, get half drunk, go tot thier home being vunerable to almost anything , and then drag home thinking it just must be love.

Picky people are lonely people...but, not saying you should settle...just that you should put things in perspective and shop on your side of the market.

I was never the skinny little girl a lot of men seem to look for. But, over the last year or so, I've realized that a lot of men don't really mind that at all. And these guys are younger, as I tend to date my age or younger.
