These sassy, sophisticated, solvent women say they are struggling to find other halves that can measure up At 48, Jane Townsend is beautiful, independent — and single. She keeps fit, takes great care of her appearance and is looking for a man who is active, in good shape, articulate and emotionally open.
Given her good looks and vivacious nature, eligible suitors must surely be beating a path to her door.
Yet as Jane, from Sheffield, explains, it has been a struggle: ‘The men out there are delusional. I went out with a guy who lied about his age, saying he was 47 when he was 50, who then had the gall to tell me he wanted a younger woman so he, as he put it, “could breed”.
'After my divorce, I gave up my prime dating years to raise my two girls, expecting that when they left home, I’d have time left. But there has been a shift and now the men aren’t there. Where I live it’s hard to find someone cultured unless they’re eating yoghurt, and the men my age all seem to be — well — more than a little overweight.’

I feel your pain brother
Amen
Younger women are the only answer and cure
A twofer
Trust me
Reams of women in that age group starving for a decent older guy
You’ll have a blast
Trust me
Did you feel that way before you joined and started reading some of the posts by a certain group of men here, or after?
The good men are all hiding from the ball-busters, like this lady.....
HRT is your friend
MGTOW MGTOW MGTOW MGTOW MGTOW
You speak the truth, brother.
When I was in high school, about the time the last sabertooth tiger was sinking into the tar pits, we had a word for a girl with multiple partners.
That word was “ruined”.
Still the truth.
Go to the link. Look at her.
She is sucking in her gut like me at that beach. And it's not working.
Men: The fact that I even read the words under her photo is strike one. The words themselves are strikes two and three: "...was told by one relationship coach..."
Quit paying for coaching and start saving for a robot, lady. And for the robot app which makes him nod whenever you blather on about your imagined greatness.
I'll predict it now: the first robot-initiated divorce.
And that "Nodding Robby" will probably get the kids.
Um....that ended almost 7 months ago with the DJT era.
I felt that way after my last relationship ended. We’d been together for 4 years (which seems to be about my limit) and there was nothing much wrong with him... but the stress of having to think about another person every single minute of the night and day just GOT to me. Just little things, like... what shall we eat, where shall we go, will he have a fit if I cut my hair, why didn’t he take that parking space instead of circling the lot for another 5 minutes, what time are we leaving, why didn’t you tell me sooner, why does all the housework always fall to ME... just tiresome. Living alone is the only true freedom.
Is that Ecclestone?
I was temporarily single at 59
It was so easy to have women 25-50 coming around
I had no idea
Fortunately since I love her my rib came to her senses
But even though I had never once thought of other women in 20 years it came easy
Younger women looking for companionship and security
There are men who would just love to date a swimsuit model. But reality quickly brings them down to Earth.
The woman needs to realize that her wish list is irrelevant, and her choices are limited to picking one of the men who are actually interested in her, or resigning herself to being alone.
I hear you. I had a relationship like that. I could only wear certain colors (that his mother liked), had to wear my hair a certain way and was “encouraged” to wear a certain style of clothing. It began slowly but by the time I ended it, had become abusive. My mother thought that I was making a mistake and tried to talk me out of it.
I understand.
... when divorce strikes, men and women react in different ways. Men’s relationships frequently overlap; they won’t leave one partner until they find another, so they are never really single.
In other words, if you want a man, you have to take one from another woman. If he's not in a relationship, he's not relationship material. If he's relationship material, he's with someone... but many of them will indeed cheat. I mean, upgrade.
I was single age 43-46.
OMFG.
“struggling to find other halves that can measure up”
Diagnosis in one clause.
None of us can measure up. Enjoy the cats.
On another front, I’ve never figured out why “sassy” is a good thing. I don’t really like “sassy.”
Most of us married women who wanted to be wives, not activist business associates. I remember one woman we knew over years who didn’t find anyone who met her standards for perfection. Now age has set in and she’s alone. Typical these days I suppose.
When I was younger, my mother would try to get me to stay with a man. She seemed to feel that as long as you aren’t being beaten or cheated on, and the bills are paid, that’s about as good as it gets. But now that I’ve been single for 13 years and have nothing to complain about when women sit around and kvetch, she has begun to think maybe my approach to life is not without its merits.
Find a nice Latina woman. The true Christians among them are wonderful. Latina Donna Reeds. I never imagined being so well cared for, for several decades now.
