Why can't a glamorous mid-life woman like me find a decent man? Despairing divorcee, 58, has auditioned countless suitors... with comically disastrous results

Kim Thompson clutches a piece of paper in her well-manicured hands. On it she has written the names of boyfriends she met while dating online. She talks me through the list. First, there was complicated Chris, followed by Ben who was a disappointment in bed, and strange Tim who had a habit of talking non-stop about his collection of Hornby toy trains. Then there was the property developer who took her out for dinner, slopped spaghetti down his front and told Kim on their first date how much he liked sex. There are lots of others, too, whom she came across when she turned to internet matchmaking sites to find a long-term partner.

Why? Because you have Lists and have read all the fairy tale females ending up with Prince Charming.

She WAY overestimates her market value. For every small issue she complains about with her suitors I'd imagine they can name several of their own about her. For example, she claims some are bad in bed. That means she's hopping into bed with them right off the bat and what desirable man wants to hang on to an old slut with an inflated ego who gives it up to everybody she goes out with?

I really don't see that she's got anything to offer a successful man who will have much better prospects. She's a cat lady in the making.

[Democrats hate too much]

She needs a robot. She needs to start following the Drudge Report to learn about sex dolls.

And half the emotional baggage and no chip on her shoulder.

I’m been married for 43-yrs, so I’ve been an observer and from what I observed, the older single women get, the more bitter they become. And it’s always the males fault for her history of failed relationships.

[TennesseeProfessor]

There’s just so many things wrong I’m not sure to start. Let me just say that the men who don’t mind plonking 240 pounds per meal aren’t looking for a woman pushing 60.

[BBQToadRibs]

What she isn’t understanding is she’s not just auditioning them, they are auditioning her. It might be that she’s failing.

[ArtDodger]

The Chateau Hartiste would have had a fine time analyzing this one!

[SauronOfMordor]

Exactly. This woman refuses to face the fact that any man good enough bj to meet HER standards, has better options than settling for HER.

Why can't a glamorous mid-life woman like me find a decent man?

First of all, most women seem to believe a "good man" to be some composite they have created of television/movie characters.

And now every guy that is interested, when they google “Kim Thompson”, this article will be at the top of the list!

[Hulka]

That is standard UK female ankles. Serious.

Ben who was a disappointment in bed

Wait, he took it for a test drive ? I wonder what his review of her performance would read like.

[FatherofFive]

she has the Sexual Marketplace Value of a week old baguette.

"Glamorous" is not on the top 50 words I'd use to describe her.

[HangnJudge]

This is what is commanded of a husband
Love your wife as Christ loves the church
Protect and if necessary, die for the family
A man who does not provide for the family is lower that the infidels

This is what is commanded of a wife
Submit yourself unto your husband in all things

These are big things and require submitting ones self the God first
Or it all breaks, and 50ish yo divorcees go from bed to bed, finding lonely emptiness, men die from loss of all purpose, direction, and self destruction.

And Satan laughs

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Her 2nd relationship seemed weird. Don’t they have little blue pills in the UK?

[PushinTin]

This one is extremely easy to explain. The marriage contract is the worst contract ever written. If something upsets her, she can walk out and take half his stuff and all civil judges will be happy to give it to her. Why would any sane man take the risk?

[Hulka]

Excellent point.

[cranked]

Let me guess, a woke, SJW, progressive feminist?
That might have A LOT to do with the problem(s)............

[metmom]

True.

She sounds like nobody is ever going to be good enough for her.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

In his book, Mere Chritianity, C. S. Lewis said that chastity, required of the unmarried by God, was also the most unpopular restriction in his time. No doubt in ours, too.
