Youngdetroit you nailed it !!!
I was about to say some things when I realized that youngdetroit has described wonderfully the same experience I have had in my life. So I only have to repeat his words.
speaking for the rejects
As an older man, I tend not to like older women for a variety of reasons, very little of it having to do with age or how attractive they are.
Whe I was younger most women my age didn't want to have anything to do with me. They wanted their careers, their independance and carefree relationships with "bad boys" or "hotties". I speak from experience as I've had several women tell me I am a great catch but they're only dating "hotties" right now.
I found it hilarious that often these women would try to turn these carefree relationships into long term ones and then be disappointed when they failed often leaving them with children or burdened with debt from all that spending to keep Mr. Right Now happy and involved in the relationship.
Then they wake up one day and realize that they aren't the hot young things they used to be and are all alone. So as has happened to be in the last several years, all of a sudden I've become Mr. Popular to many older.
Now I ask you why would I want to be with a women who rejected me a long time ago and now is older, divorced, often with kids and is bitter about the way things have turned out?
Or would I rather be with a younger, happier women who has never been married and has no kids? someone who wants to be with me for me and not in a last ditch effort to keep from being alone for the rest of her life?
Basically you choose your path in life and the one you opted for isn't turning out the way you planned. As for older men wanting to have children, that's hardly a selfish desire. Maybe they're like me, ignored until now.
My life seems to have started off late. I don't regret it and it's like a second chance to live my 20's all over again. you don't get many second chances in life, I'm taking mine. sorry you can't find yours.
