yeah but I'm not hot anymore so there goes that idea. Men that age want 20something blonde bombshells. Not a slightly overweight former blonde. Besides, someone that much older than me, I don't think I'd like that. Too much temptation for them to try to treat me like a child.
And in THIS town? Many men that age DRINK. I do not want an alcoholic.
Don't throw in the towel so easily. Yes of course men that age want 20something blond bombshells. I suspect that a great many men of
every age want that. They also want Angelina Jolie, Paris Hilton, and whatever attractive woman was on the billboard they just drove past. But it's not going to happen. They will probably try. Unless they are wealthy or have some other magnetic quality, they will fail. Those women are just a fantasy. 20something blond bombshells do not mate up with middle aged men unless there is something fairly significant in it for them that makes the middle aged men more attractive than the 20something handsome men who are actually in their league. And there usually isn't. Who is actually in the middle aged single man's league? Divorced middle aged women. Divorced middle aged women some of whom are inevitably slightly overweight and all of whom are former [whatever their hair color used to be]. You, by comparison, are younger. That
matters. Slightly overweight you may be, but so are the other women who are actually in their league.
If middle aged adult men are having to settle for something other than 20something blonde bombshells, it's not going to be me. I have certain 'immature' characteristics and quirks that would surely turn them way off. They'd sooner go for the mature ones that don't like Transformers, and don't insist on watching Cartoons.
And also I must add there is NO way I'm getting with a divorced man. I don't want to deal with the ex. And I sure as hell don't want to deal with kids that are not mine. Brady Bunch material I am not. Kids tend to get resentful of new people in a parent's life and there is no way I am having any of that.

I must admit you are absolutely right that a middle aged man will probably do some age-based patronizing. But is that really so bad? It would be annoying sometimes, but it is impossible to be in a relationship without ever being annoyed. And there must be some who aren't alcoholics. Just drinking doesn't make you an alcoholic. Being a slave to it is what makes the alcoholic.
It would drive me crazy. I have a serious issue with being treated like a child. My parents do it. No way in hell will I let a potential partner do it.
No, 'just drinking' doesn't make one an alcoholic...but getting drunk frequently does.
