Women: Post D - What kind of men are you meeting?

[alamogirl]

Well DNQ, I don't fit your category since I'm 50, not looking; however, I look around 40...damn good genes.

I have a friend who is 45 and who is a recent college graduate. She has 2 kids, boy and girl.

She was widowed around 7 years ago, then was in a 4 year live-in relationship with some nut.

She attracts men like flies from all races. She's having the time of her life. She meets men in their 20's who have no problem with her age or kids. My friend is confident, knows what she wants, and isn't afraid to tell them. This seems to turn the men on. She's registered with match.com and is thinking about e-harmony.com.

Your ex isn't going to have a problem meeting men. There is always going to be some Joe Blow who is going to fall into her trap and marry her, and she'll probably end up leaving them. The only way to fix her relationships, she has to start with herself. If she's not seeing herself as the problem, then her vicious cycle will continue.

In the meantime, don't worry about what kind of man she's going to meet. It's just going to drive you nuts to find out that she met some young drop-dead gorgeous hunk because she probably will. Concentrate on yourself, your worth, your qualities, your kids, and your strengths.

Good luck to you.
