CeMar,

There you go again, assuming that the marriages ended for these women in their 30's or 40's because they were LD and their H's got rid of them. Bull Hocky!!! You don't know and won't know what happenned if you don't ask. Why wiould they tell you, either. None of your business at this point, you are fantasizing again. You are making an assumption based on YOUR situation.

Stop laying all of the blame on marriages ending at the feet of LD women. Men are to blame for marrages ending, too, or have you not seen enough of that here on these boards? That is a very narrow view of life and you cannot find fulfillment in life with a narrow view of it.

As far as looks go, does every woman have to meet certain criteria that is socially acceptable for you? The thin, dammned near anorexic with the multiple plastic surgeries to falsely enhance their self esteem because they cannot be comfortable with growing more mature? Well then, I want the same for every dammned guy I meet, too. Enlarged pecks, liposuctioned tummies, and I sure as hell want them to have surgically enlarged "willies" cause I am sick and tired of small ones, like men who want huge breasts, some women want larger penises.

My vent aside, what is wrong with looking at real women that do not fit the "stereotype of beauty" I'm sick of men being shallow and going for the younger women and not appreciating mature beauty. I agree that physical attractiveness is important, but so is a keen sense of humor, an active mind, a self assurance that comes with knowing yourself and many mature women have so much more to offer than "what you first see."

Think about it.
