If they’re harpies like their mom was as his wife what choice does he have?
You do you, Shagnasty - there’s no fool quite like an old fool.
Of course not. I look at it from the man’s perspective for most people but not for family members or close friends. They are already spoiled and I expect their future husbands (if they choose to get married) to carry on the tradition. I already threatened my stepfather for being an asshole to my mother. The stakes go up a lot higher when you are talking about daughters. That is just relationship relativity.
He’s just lookin for a “is married and gets blowjobs” high-five. What kind of bro are you anyway?
High five, Sicks Ate!!
I mean, the thing about getting older is that the observable universe if attractive ladies has done nothing but expand. When I was a teen, probably 30 was my age limit in the “too old” caregory, but that number has only increased as my actual age increased. It’s also helped that people know how to take care of themselves better and many have more money and time to do so.
I actually feel sorry for the OP in a bizarre way.
I’ve been told by more than one woman: “If a girl ain’t put’n out for her man, marriage ain’t got nothing to do with it. It’s because the man is selfish and doesn’t really care if she’s getting her needs met.”
That explains a lot, because I’ve never had this problem personally.
A hot German woman vacationing in NYC (alone???) can’t find any man who’ll keep her company without having to resort to going to an online dating site and finding one in a completely different state (because she’s bad with geography!)?
Personally, I’ve never had any attraction for somebody outside my age range. Not saying it couldn’t happen, but it hasn’t yet.
I’ve always found it pathetic when older men are in search of women 20 yrs younger, but I guess it is what it is.
I’ve also found it pathetic that Shagnasty will never find someone he loves enough to want to share his life with, instead of someone to be his girlfriend-on-call. Of any age.
When I was in my late teens and early twenties I thought women in their late thirties and forties were hot. I still thought so when my wife hit that age. She just hit 50, and I would go upstairs with her now if not for the fact that our 17 and 19 year old sons would be mortified.
Makes sense to me!! I’m sure she’s told Shag just how badly she wants to see him, too, if not for all the distance between them! It’s expensive getting plane tickets. 
Hey, let them see (to a tasteful extent) that sex is just as valuable to a happy relationship in your 50s as it was 20 years ago; they’ll be more likely to model it and less likely to wind up like our ill-functioning OP.
I’ll take it! The main point was, that doesn’t have to be the case.
Someday, I may tell my son: “Son…never marry a woman who doesn’t love your d**k.”
I think that’s valuable advice.
Dude, it was a joke.
They are sad because, HELLO, they are at the supermarket.
That isn’t where men want to be, married or not.
You see unattractive, he still sees the girl he saw when he came home from WWII or Korea or what ever.
Your only looking with your eyes, cause you don’t know her, you haven’t known her for the past 50+ years.
and wtf is a hose-beast?
Thats usually a word for a woman that sleeps with anything.
Did you mean 60s, or did she have a kid when she was 12?
It didn’t work like that. I work in IT and work on scams myself. It was through Bumble where only the women can start the conversation and have no control over their location that is determined by GPS. It is a little creepy but it works. She really was on Cape Cod then Nantucket and then back in Manhattan. We never did meet but I can if I ever go to NYC.
It just made me realize that I just want an actual hot woman to do something fun with rather than a Boston area harpy that has a list of demands a mile long. I found that in Costa Rica and Florida in less than a day but it seems to be an extinct species here.
As to the “life partner” thing, I don’t want that either. I already have plenty of money and my ex-wife does too. She is very attractive but has an even worse personality than I do so that will never work. My daughters are the most important thing to me and I don’t want step-children. I also don’t want someone around all that much. I just want hot activity partners for however as long as it lasts. I don’t want an escort or prostitute but I will pay for most other things.
Basically, I am hunting unicorns and they seem to be light on the ground. I have found a few close approximations but there is always some complication that screws it up. The best solution for me may just to have an affair with a coworker but I don’t want to do that either.
In threads about what you would do if you went back in time to high school, guys will often talk about how they know that this time they could totally bang the cheerleader or whoever. As one poster pointed out, the last thing you really want to do now as a 40-something or older guy is hanging around a kid. They’re fine, but do you really want that for a girlfriend?
As far as not seeing older women as attractive, I love this Doonesbury comic. I’m not 25 anymore. We get older, both men and women and it’s really silly to expect that it’s only women who are going to look less attractive as we age.
Bolding mine. Oneof the MANY results one gets Googling ‘how to fake location on Bumble’.
Oh Shagnasty, just never stop being Shagnasty, OK?
Half the time I completely agree with you, half the time I violently don’t and I never know when you are serious and when you are not, but I can’t think of the last time I wasn’t entertained.
Good to know but I still think it was real based on conversations. I cross-checked based on subtle clues and it matched. It is remotely possible that it was an attempted scam but everything matched over the course of two days. I was able to figure out who was sending it in less than 5 minutes and it matched college records, Facebook and Linkedin. I don’t usually do that but it was unusual enough to verify it and it worked. She was a competitive swimmer in college so I asked her about athletic interests and she told me all about swimming with no hesitation.
It would have to be a new, really sophisticated scam if it is one at all. The person in question is real and extremely attractive. She just claimed that she didn’t know the area and didn’t have anyone to do something with her a couple of days ago. I should have taken the day off work.
Thank you for your endorsement Princhester! That is the charm and the reason many people like me and a whole lot of others hate me. I don’t have a choice. That is just me. You can hang out with me any time. I may still be a prick but a fun one.
I’m happily married.
Assuming I became single…
I’d probably focus on dating women in their early thirties. That’s currently the age I find the most attractive. I like lively conversation and being challenged. I have more in common with women in that age range. I’d consider having more children.
I’m in my late fifties. A 20 plus years age gap means nothing.
