(Maybe guys are just so tired of rejection that they’re interested in a woman who will reach out? Or maybe they had an antiquated idea of what a woman slightly older than them would look like and I messed with their preconceptions?)
Third - I was open to men of other races. 2 of my 3 longest post-divorce relationships were with men of color.
kml, I think often preferences like age and race aren't fully thought out. Are they the vestiges of biases we've escaped from? Are we following rules for age +/- arbitrarily without considering our tastes? For age, my upper limit is where most women wouldn't attract me, but it's always possible someone is that 25% exception where I'm like "Definitely!" if she were to reach out. I think you and I not discarding people over unquestioned preferences and breaking rules helps a lot! Of course, if you're having good luck with such preferences and rules, that's also awesome. If it's working, change nothing. (:
