Sort of like a car. When the warranty runs out you have to start worrying about paying for repairs to the drive train...lol

Harder to date as you get older? You have not even scratched the surface. Men and women both have burned by their exes several times over by the time folks reach the 40's and above. Baggage, pain, anger and sorrow all cause deep scars that is hard to let go or forget.
Then there is the fact that when we were younger there were more folks our age that were single. Now more than half ( just a guess ) are already partnered up. Now the worst thing is that us older single folks have been that way for a while. We like out independence. Yet we crave our one and only lifetime companion that has the same goals we have. Kind of narrows the field a lot.

Hmm.. let's just say what was once hard... is now become the opposite....
Lol..

yeah thats true

Yes, it's true. It's harder. The men are smarter now.

You know honestly, I believe the answer to the question is really complicated, and depending on where you are--socially, financially, professionally, emotionally' and physically--the answer will be different. I will even go further and state that depending on your age, early 30s through late forties, would cause each of us to approach the question differently.

I do believe that something we can all agree on is that when we get older is easier to say what we don't want in a relationship, based on all our prior experiences, than what we are truly looking for. If you think about it we easily identify with the traits we no longer want to deal with and by default we seem to say that if our partner is not that way then he/she is, or may be, the ideal person; if only it was that easy...

Personally I do not have any problems dating. My problem stems from the fact that as I meet someone and we begin a relationship my partners always want to pressure me into committing early in the relationship and that unfortunately brings about a demise of the relationship.

At this point in my life I can say with certainty that I don't want to grow old all alone but given my prior experience with marriage and how the pain, financial distress, and the entire negative episode, I could honestly say that given a choice between experiencing that again and being alone I will choose the later in a heartbeat.

Those are my thoughts on the topic.

I think because our standards heighten with every experience. The older, the more experienced...The older we get the more lessons learned and the taller the wall gets.

I think it is not just age, but age makes it worse, My friends used to tell me that I look too serious or exclusive that even if they liked me they would not dare to offer since they were sure to be rejected!!!(I could not change it!)
I am now 30 and I feel it will be very difficult to find a match from this point! Another problem is that I look 7-8 years younger than my age so I have been stuck in middle of two decades, I don't want to date very young guys and I can not match up with very older guys and not many 30-year-olds are hanging around single ...

can some one tell me please why woman on here cont hold conversation,about the age thing its just number am 51 have neva been out with woman over 35 its how you feel about your self that matters in the end,need to like your self before anyone els can like you have open mind to new things in life and dont live in the past look to the future,

I think you are also right, I always felt older than my age so I couldn't manage to cope with people of my age, but there was appearance and other variables in the equation. It seems more complicated than just age...

and don't forget what age does to your body... how many women have I talked to about.. their insecurities with competing with younger women..
... they are not in the shape they used to be in.... they don't have the time they're more focused on household careers.. and guys.. the buddha belly the loss of hair... sure now you're financially successful and set...
..... but physically everything's going downhill....lol... getting old is a *****..
.... not for me of course.. I am aging quite well... well except for the loss of. hair part...lol

Yes, there are many challenges to a successful relationship as we get older. However, I would also challenge the notion that we bring baggage. That is a choice.
Personally, I believe that I am a better person for having the taken the time to consider my life and own up to my flaws. I'm 'unperfect'. I am also willing to make compromises and accept a woman in my life for the beauty of her total self including the flaws. This is richness to be regarded and cherished.
I also realize that I am unique in my views. I have faith I will find a woman capable of accepting me for who I am as much as I am capable of accepting her for who she is. I know I am worthy.

How naughty....!!

And most lessons teaches - what & why not to do...??

I see the words you write WonderWoman and they truly inspire me. I encourage caution in building a wall as you may miss opportunities you can't see from within your wall.

your ^^ just mad because you're too short to jump over the wall..lol..jk
