Admin	Question for ladies here who are 40+ Posted : 10 Mar, 2011 06:22 PM I've been on this site for 1 1/2 years, hoping and praying that I will one day meet God's choice for me. I have noticed a common theme on CDFF and want to know if it is just me, or what? I have read several profiles of men my age (40+) here, where the gentleman sounds like the kind of Christian man I might like to meet. However, when I get to the bottom of his profile, the age range says 18 to 33 or 34, etc. Can someone help me to understand why a man in his 40's, who says he is marriage minded, would think this is an appropriate age range? What could a middle aged man have in common iwth someone who just graduated from high school, or college? I asked my two daughters who are in their 20's and they said they would never date someone old enoug to be their father. I just don't get it? Are middle aged men really that closed minded about women in their 40's? I believe I have actually aged well, and think I have a lot to offer. But here, it seems like slim pickins. Just wondering. Thanks for your input! Post Reply

View Profile History	Question for ladies here who are 40+ Posted : 12 Mar, 2011 11:58 AM Thanks everyone! :) You've all made some valid points. I can see where a man in his 40's might be interested in someone younger to start a family with. That makes sense. As you all suggested, it could be any number of things. Mid-life crisis, looking for the newer model, and they may not necessarily be a Christian......I appeciate everone's input! Glad that I am not the only one who has noticed this trend. I'll continue to place my search in God's capable hands, and see where He leads. God's speed and grace to each of you! Post Reply
View Profile History	Question for ladies here who are 40+ Posted : 12 Mar, 2011 12:03 PM Yes Cobbler. Good point. My daughter dated someone 11 years older and he did that very thing; tried to control her and manipulate her. I can see where that would happen. Like you, I prefer someone that I can relate to, who has shared similar experiences and understands where I am coming from. Thank you for your input from a man's perspective. :) Proverbs31wife Post Reply

Seems like people have been infected with "ageism" there. It seemed like the superficial outward appearance was all that mattered. That lifestyle wasn't for me. I feel for you that's for sure. Thankfully God is in control. Praying He guides you in your search! ~ Proverbs31wife Post Reply
Elisa View Profile History	Question for ladies here who are 40+ Posted : 12 Mar, 2011 10:39 PM A bit off topic, but since you all have beautifully covered the question.....how horrible to be a trophy wife. Can you imagine what that would be like? The thought makes me very sad for them. Although, conversely, they would likely say the same for me. Ah well. Post Reply
loosie View Profile History	Question for ladies here who are 40+ Posted : 13 Mar, 2011 03:39 PM I don�t think a man wanting a younger woman is unchristian. I �m not bashing here, but really is it surprising.. If a 40 year old man can marry a 28 year old �girl�, don�t you think he will? In my experience in the chat room, watching the female responses to the men as they enter; it�s not difficult to come to the conclusion that women at least some of those in the room, and all ages seem to be a bit disparate. Why wouldn�t a 28 year old woman marry a stable, settled 40 year old Christian male? It�s really not difficult to understand it in my opinion. However, I must admit that when I get winks from 65 year old men, I sit with my mouth open, and think �oh you gotta be kidding me bro�. Post Reply
