Why is it so hard for me a 48 year old divorced woman w/no kids and her own apt to meet a guy who isn't much

younger and only interested in wanting sex only? I want someone who is interested in companionship and my ex-husband was verbally and physically abusive over 10 years ago.

    I feel you girl!!!!!

    it's not you,you just haven't met the man you're looking for,because the young,men and the older ones are all full of bs

    if they are assholes.I've met some younger men that had their stuff together,I've met some older men ,that didn't have their own place,living with momma,and no car,I was seeing a man 5yrs younger than me,he seemed really interesting until after the second month,all the red flags came out,this man is 46yrs old and he's got bad knees,trying to be michael jordan,walks with a limp,can't dance,lives with his momma,but wants to spend the night with me,when he's in heat,and he's in a niteclub every wk

    saying it's good for his knees,so I kicked him to the club. don't worryit's not you,it's these piece of sh__t men that are out there

    just stick to your standards and you will find a companion,it just takes time,remember a good man is hard,to find,a piece of sh__t man is easy to find. I know how you feel,so just have some fun

    and pick and choose,you will know when it's right and you deserve a good man!!!!

    I'm 51 yrs old,never thought at this age I would be dating!!!!

    don't like it but you never know what blessing is out there

    until you go out and look!!:)

    good luck

    Don't know, hon. Never had the problem. Left an 18 year marriage with a man who was a pillar in the community. We had it all -- $$$, power, nice home, cars, clothes, friends, parties, traveled all over the world. When the marriage got crowded, I left, and never wanted him back. Left the state. Was by myself only a year or so. Now have a lovely boyfriend who doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, same religion, politics, loves to travel also bright, educated, as am I. I'm 55. We met via Yahoo Personals. But I confess, I am very attractive according to my friends, and that comes mainly from my smile. If you don't have a killer smile, you for sure gotta get it.... beautiful teeth radiate health, and healthy is sexy.... mine will burn down a room. If you need some help, write me, and I'll answer.

    Source(s): Nice to fall asleep in the arms of a man I adore, and who adores me. I treat him like a prince, and he treats me like a princess. If he didn't, I'd have not stayed for three dates.

    It's hard because as people get older they get set in their ways.

    Finding a regular guy at that age is hard enough. You are asking about a specific kind of guy (one that is not interested in sex) - which is frankly quite rare.

    I am not sure I agree with above - a church group. Church goers tend to tell you they are not all about the sex, and maybe even half believe it themselves - but they are.

    I'd look for an online discussion group interested in the same things you are.

    Good luck.

    Maybe you are looking in all of the wrong places. I agree with the other person that said you should go to church and meet someone there. You could also go to a divorced persons club and see if you like anyone there. Good luck and sorry about your former ex being such an *** wipe.

    You have every right to have the right man. You need to have faith that he is around the corner so stop looking and he will show up. Its like when you cant find something then 2 -3 weeks later you find it Same thing goes here. So love yourself and your family he will come.

    Most of the guy are like that, but not every guy. Keep trying, or maybe you should aim for older guy like over 60.
