I am 47 years old.  I am not ugly, in good  physical form, single, without children.  I am not rich but my economic situation is solved, (a house in the beach, a condo in the city).  Well educated, (English is my second lenguage) with a business of medium size that runs smoothly.  Perhaps I am a little serious and introverted although not so much, I enjoy the laughters, the diversion and a sip of wine occasionally.  I seek a young woman because I want to establish my family and to have a boy, I know this:  youth is not equal to fertility but I believe that the odds are better.  I have noted that the girls among 30 & 35 seek men that are for the same range of the age, therefore my question is:  Do you believe that I have the opportunity to marry a woman of that age?

Well your research has been done very well.I do believe that a woman of that age is possible for you.I must say be ready to open your mind to other things .Most women of that age already have children and there are a quite a few who desire another child but,maybe past experiences has taught them to seek a better man with such qualities as yours whether it be social,or economic qualities.Whatever tha quality you have to offer I do believe you have a real good chance.I hope tha best for you.Be careful and wise on your search

I'm married to one!  :)  \n\nHe's 10 years older than me.  Many of my friends are married to men who are 10 or 20 years older.  I'd say that between 10 to 20 year age difference isn't as much when we are more mature.  So a woman 30 years old would seriously consider a 50 year old man.  Especially if he's financially secure (not wealthy but stable) and willing to have a family---ready made (e.g., she already has children) or kids together.

I think every man would choose a younger girl if they could, lol.  Why do you think all the women in the porno mags and that, models, actresses, etc.; are all within the 18-30 range; have all those 'barely legal' chicks in the mags? (I've never looked at a porno, lol; you can buy them at petrol stations here; or they have adds on TV or billboards for the mags, etc., Kind of hard to miss what it says when it's in like ten million font, lol.)  \nAs for your last comment; because they are closer age wise.  My veiw on age is that it's just a number, nothing more; but not everyone agrees with this.  My husband and I, we have 15 years different between us; we were friends first, then dated; then were together; it wasn't just because of age; we just clicked, could talk for ever, even the first night we met, talked for about seven hours;our record was 18 hours in one 24 hour period, lol (It was a weekend, we had a free day, both of us); we have an extremely strong bond, never fight, are always doing those little things for each other that matter so much; but even with the fact that we both feel that we were made for each other; some people still are shocked when they hear the age difference.  If you want them just for sex, and act on it, then that's a problem.  That's a problem for any age group.  But if it's someone you've truelly fallen for, and she has for you; then it shouldn't be anyone else's problem; it's yours, and her decision.  \nHowever, based on your second comment, sex is pretty high up on that list of yours.  If sex is what you want; I recommend you look closer to your age group, for a girl who more knows life; and is less likely to be coerced into things.  As I mentioned, I think it's normal for any guy to find a younger woman attractive.  What's not normal is using them.  Find someone you're intelectually, mentally, attracted to, someone you just find that click with; then go for it, regardless of the age.  Having any kind of relationship with someone you only find physically attractive is highly likely to end up bad for both you and the girl.  Find the personality, mental, etc, traits you're after; the things that would really denote that special someone to you; the physical is easy to find; it's the rest, the stuff that really matters; that's the hardest parts to find.  You may find you find a younger girl.  But don't rule out any age group.  You rule out a good portion of prospective partners then.

I prefer someone cheerful.  I've met physically attractive women that had a lousy attitude and know that I'd rather be with someone pleasant any day over that crap!\n\nAssuming they have a pleasant attitude, I would prefer someone that is intelligent.  I don't mind if someone is able to be critical, but what I am really looking for is someone that can brainstorm more solutions with me than just grumble.  Again, I have met physically attractive women  that even had positive attitudes that really just ended up being a bore.  Or, spun the other direction, I have also dated a woman that was quite brilliant, but rarely had much else than negative things to say about her life and others.  Can you imagine how much fun that was?  I really did a lot of self inquiry after that as to why I bothered with her at all.  Maybe I thought I could save her or some other foolish macho notion.\n\nAnyhow, physique is important as it tends to indicate on a superficial level that the woman cares about herself.  On the other hand, she could be a negative-minded bore.\n\nSo I suppose you could say I am looking for "the total package," but I have been sorry to learn that it is in short supply and expect that if I were to need to marry in a hurry that I would have to "settle" for something less than what I want.  But I am a balding short hairy guy, so what do you expect?  There isn't much mercy out there for guys like us, so I either lose or spend more energy into being financially successful than would make me available for dating...\n\nLately, I have simply lost interest.  Nothing is attractive to me because I have always been asked to sell myself short of what I want.  That repeated experience really put a damper on my motivation to work out and compete.  It's like I've been relegated to the communist version of dating economics - where everybody gets the same boring angry hairlipped babushka.  I'd rather stay single and read books.

its not 2 late im in my forties as well and very good on the eyes but as i get older i seem to want to be with someone who wants to live their life as the days go on.  i have been married 2x as well and i think that was 2x 2 many so i am just looking for someone to be with with no committment envolved.  i think that if i get that that would make me happy.  im not saying that when i find that person, that i wont be faithful, i will be that 4 sure.  but the thought of marriage again just turns my stomach.  i am getting older and i want to experience life with someone who wants to have fun and do things that we didnt do when we were younger.  so dont worry he is out there 4 u trust me.  he might b me haha holla back if you would like to know more.

men mature slower than women.  they want a good time when the women are looking for husbands.  so unfortunately it's up to us to wait for them to want it.  There are a few out there who are great guys... but unfortunately they get snatched up by a few great girls.  sigh. \n\never feel like "everybody's buddy, nobody's hunny?"  lol- that's me.

With so many failed marriages out there it's hard to say. Maturity plays a major part, here. When you find someone who knows what they want & are willing to sacrifice for it ( the marriage ) that may be the one to marry regardless of age.

I guess because it departs from tradition and what people are used to.  The women's movement was only 30-40 years ago, and a lot of people still aren't conditioned to the fact that a woman can find happiness and success on her own.  I am 27, rather attractive, own a business and make more money than most married couples my age, yet some people treat me like I've got one foot in the grave and had better hurry up and get married because 30 seems to be the magic deadline.  The truth is, I would love to get married when I'm damn good and ready to find the right one, whether it be tomorrow or when I'm 75.  I'm just not going to get married for the sake of marriage, which a lot of people seem to do (hence the divorce rate today).

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.I ALSO HAVE FOUGHT SO HARD TO WHERE I AM. I HAVE GONE THRU SO MUCH,AND FOR PEOPLE TO JUDGE YOU BY YOUR AGE. I'M 22 and feel as a 30 year old man, i have my own home, my own car and a good buissnes.i have no problems dateing,but i seem to find the wrong kind of woman that likes to control a man,i have a sense of humor and at times i like to release steam on programs like this yahoo answers,but i'm no kid. i also enjoy the good, silly OR deep answers and questions here at yahoo. i don't care about points,i just need to blow out a little steam and survive another day in this life. FIGHTING FOR AIR as you say. i thank you so much for this public thank you,for you gave me confort and i know i am not alone. THANK YOU!

Greetings!\n\nIt is harder for a guy because the playing field is not level.  At an early age girls are firm, cuter and a bit more mature than guys.  That being said it gives them the ability to pick and choose.\nNow if you think about how nature works with animals you can understand, the natural and physiological implications to your dilemma.\n\nNow since nature also likes to keep the playing field more level, this situation in later years becomes reversed in favor of the guy.\nNow the woman is left more out in the cold.  \n\nWhereas at twenty she could get anyone, at 50 she lives alone while the situation is reversed for the male.\n\nGood Luck

Depends on the age dear. Younger guys pretty much only want sex and will take it where they can get it - thus prefering sluts. But when a guy is looking for a wifeand to start a family, he is not looking for someone who has been with all of his friends and half the town................think about it................

I think it depends on yours and her age.\n\nPersonally (and I am 44) I would like a man to treat me like he treasures me.  Treat me like a lady.  Tell me I am beautiful and smart.  Help me do everyday things - dont just wait to be waited on.\nBe honest and love God.

I can't believe all the bullkaka I am reading here.\n\nSo a man can be 20 yrs older but not a woman?  Get serious people and start realizing that life is not always about your young tight a$$.  There is much more out there than most of you will ever experience, especially with an attitude like I see from some of you.  LOL

Yes i've always been exactly the same.  I've really no interest in guys my own age, and i've always been like this even since when i was at school.  Don't really know why though but it's not a problem at all.  Plus as the saying goes, there's many a good tune can be played on an old fiddle.....  I'm 29 and seeing a guy of 51 who is the sexiest guy i've ever met in my life and is well fit (and looks about 35).  Good Luck!

I think love IS at any age.  It is just the level of committment offered at the age.  Your age you shouldn't be looking at marriage or kids but your future, enjoying your time with limited responsiblities.  But my age i am looking for someone to share my life with, raise our kids, and retire with.  But all the same it is true love when in your heart you feel this persons' thoughts and feelings, needs and wants are important to you beyond anyone else's (except for your own, don't lose your identity)

Women have done it... but think of it this way, when your child is in high school, the woman will be turning 70.  That's very hard on a child, to lose their parents so early, plus, having low energy and being slow and elderly also have a great impact.  I think it's better to examine why a woman may want a child, a new born baby, when they are turning 50.  Is it a mid-life self-fulfilling prophecy? It always depends on the individuals, but I would venture to say it could do more harm then good to the child.
