Are men spoiled rotten?

Men in their 40s keep breaking up with me because they want to have a baby. How selfish.

    Try something different then

    Who really wants a man who thinks having kids after 50 is a good idea? Who wants teenagers around when you're in your mid sixties? Ack!!!! 'Thinking' should consider herself lucky these wackjobs moved on. She needs to broaden her horizons and ask questions as well. I personally have only dated younger men for over a decade (I'm 45)) because I enjoy the energy and attitudes they often bring with them. At 45 I make it clear I don't want anymore children (you need to make it clear in case they think you might be open to it later with science intervention...egads). In the meantime I just have fun (which by the way is more likely what these men were seeking and then they got children too). I lucked out with a vasectomied (before I came along) and near perfect man, 12 years my junior. Enjoy life and if something or someone comes along then cool for you and if not well, at least you were still enjoying life.
