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
UK Daily Mail ^ | June 9, 2020 | Sue Reid

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.

When you try to tell women that they need to be good wives be married by thirty, they call you sexist.

I’m pretty sure she looks like a mess in the morning.

She probably would not like the cold winter up in my locale and my preference to go for Sunday morning snowshoes up in the Gatineau Hills or skates on the Rideau Canal in such conditions, lol.

“I’m pretty sure she looks like a mess in the morning.”

They all do, but some are just cuter than others.

I’d like to see her search parameters on these dating sites.

I would love to go out with her just to bring out her inner rage.

“Midlife woman” at 58? Now that is optimistic. Maybe men like woman who are just okay at arithmetic.

I thought older attractive women went for the pool boys.

I am recently widowed, after 36+ years married to the same lady.

At only 69 and in very good health, I decided to look at on=line dating.

I have decided I will remain single, and likely, celibate to the end.
NO WAY am I saddling myself up with the likes of the women I saw on-line.

Ladies, I may be overrating myself, but I will spend my money and my time alone, with my dog.

She looks high maintenance. I have had 2 of them in my life and they are far from fun dates let alone spouse material. IMO

My guess? She didn’t or doesn’t know what a man wants. Probably wants to be a freaking princess who is dotted on and expects a one way feeding of her id with know reciprocation. I am not saying men don’t suck at giving women what they want. We do.

However women have learned they they can be selfish, frigid witches who think men are created to cater their every whim with no consideration of what makes the man happy

I am a white man. I apologize to the world for my obvious racist and misogynistic tendencies. But at some point I will say screw it. It’s not worth running my business with 16 employees each of whom make Ofer 100,000 dollars a year even in the pandemic. I will take my retirement and go sit on a beach somewhere and then maybe people will realize that the golden goose simply doesn’t give a sh*t anymore

This is going to sound harsh, but she has the Sexual Marketplace Value of a week old baguette.

She’s probably looking for a fit wealthy guy that’s her age. They can do better, and do.

Somewhat presumptuous of her to refer to herself as ‘glamorous’, in my estimation. That casts doubt on the balance of her premise. She’s not howl-at-the-moon ugly in that picture, but she’s not got me screaming ‘Yowsa!’, either...

“...Ben, who was a disappointment in bed...”

Yet in the article she says she is looking for a man with old-fashioned values. Except for the saving sex for marriage one I guess.

3. money becomes mine after going to bed a few times
4. makes me look good in front of my girl friends
5. does not make me feel uncomfortable
6. never criticizes me
7. does not criticize my cats
8. takes vacations where I want.
9. does not criticize me when I take vacations with my girl friends.
