I went on a speed dating event for singles between 35 and 45 (I lied I was 4 cause there was no over 45 group). I almost cried. I talked with 12 women and oh my God, my ppl are done! Eexcept one, they looked really old, out of shape, not attracted to any of them at all.
I am the definition of "black don't crack". I can easily pass for 30 to 35 on a good day. When I was 45, I dated a 42 year old woman, and some people thought she was my sugar mommy.
On the other hand, though I am physically attracted to younger women, I don't think I can handle them emotionally anymore. Last such experience is a 23 year old about 6 years ago, ...very bad experience...
Ideally, I would like to find someone 30 to 35, as I want to have kids before i turn 50. But the 30 to 35 year olds that are well educated, in good health/shape, and that I am both physically and emotionally attracted are mostly taken.
I am to blame because in my 30s, there were at least 4 girl friends that I could have married and have kids with, but I was afraid of that level of commitment.
I am almost on the verge of going back to Ethiopia to find me a younger wife. If I don't meet anyone by next year, I am really gonna do that.
You can date whoever you like. If you can interest a 18 yo cutie and are only interested in sex yourself (or find something else in common with her, like be her running coach huh) all the best.
This 'date someone your age' thing is just a letsrun meme. For most of the human history girls got married off very soon after they reached the minimal acceptable age, and men were commonly in their mid 30s, so 15-20 years older. This lasted all the way into XX century and then sexual revolution happened and everyone could have sex with anyone no questions asked (unless illegal). So this '2 years younger at most' isn't even conservative bias, a true conservative would say any woman older than 23-25 is an old maid or damaged goods.
Just disregard that and go for whoever you want. Btw, are you even interested in women in your 40s, or in sex at all?
Should I just stick to women in their 40s or should I go for college age cuties? I'm bald with salt and pepper hair if that's a factor. Also over 6'0 tall. Input from other singles welcome.
Do you get turned off following high school girls xcountry?
"For most of the human history girls got married off very soon after they reached the minimal acceptable age, and men were commonly in their mid 30s, so 15-20 years older."
No. For most of human history, men (and women) DIED in their mid 30s, so no, they weren't getting married at that age. Typically, both men and women married very, very young. I'm sure a lot of men lost their wives to childbirth and remarried, but unless they were top honcho, not in their mid 30s. Think getting married at 14 and remarried at 20.
Most men marry the first kind of cute girl who returns their texts. Most women settle for a guy who isn't their first choice. Most relationships and marriages are comprised of people who don't enjoy being together, but do so for what are primarily financial reasons and a fear of being alone. If you as a man in your 40s routinely dates girls 25-30 or something like that, people will be very upset, predominantly because they're envious and angry you don't have the same limitations they have.
I'm in my early 30s and date women in their mid 20s. My social circle has dwindled due to the pandemic, but when I had married friends, they were clearly jealous and resentful and even their wives were upset because I was cutting against the grain. I'm glad all of those people are gone from my life.
What are you even thinking! There are plenty beautiful ethiopian women, well raised and with african values! You can’t beat that if you wanna have a strong relationship!
