Long story short, unhappy in my marriage, decided to change my life. Left husband, lost 4 stone, realising dream of working in music industry, made loads of new friends, life is exciting and I'm in a really good place. I haven't been looking for a new man but seem to be getting a lot of attention. My problem is this, I'm in my early 50's, although I'm told I seem much younger both in looks and my outlook on life. Most of the men interested in me are younger than I am and although I have no plans to be a Cougar I don't lie about my age either. I'm like a classic car, I look pretty good, but on close inspection you a see the bodywork's a bit knackered and, although there's few miles on the clock, the engine has been well maintained and is still in perfect working order. Trouble is not feeling very confident about getting back in to dating in this age of 'perfect women'. Any advice?
my hubby is 15 years younger than me we have been married for 25 years, it was my 4th and final marraige and his first [ you have to kiss a lorra toads before you meet the handsome prince !]
My ex MIL's in her 70's husband is in his 30's- not a money grabber or a weirdo, nice chap going out with a woman who'd easily pass for 50 and acts it. Go for it and enjoy yourself.
Dee and Nox what great stories. Nice to know that dating a younger man is an option. In fact the more men I meet it might be the only option if I want someone a bit more like minded to me. Most of the ones I've met my own age seem old at heart by comparison.
Yes get back to your husband and make the marriage work, if you have lost four stone you must have been, quite a hefty size (what are the stretch marks like?),I can't imagine what type of man would want a clapped out fifty plus model, when there are much younger and better looking models available,
When reading the description of your life style, cloud cuckoo land springs to mind,if you are really serious about dating again try ringing age concern!!
