It seems that many men near my age want 20 year olds - no matter what the man looks like - bald, grossly overweight or whatever, they think I am "too old" even though I'm in better shape than many younger women. And what is the best way to meet someone nice? Does dating online ever work? I've heard horror stories from my friends.

I'm right behind you. I'm 47, single, and still meeting men and dating. Right now, I'm between men, but I have one specific man I sleep with to get my sexual needs met, and that's working out fine for now. He is 58.
It's never too late, unless you are dead and buried in your coffin. I'm also in great physical condition (marathon runner, triathlete), and I am also not attracted to overweight unfit men. (Balding is okay, since that's genetic.) But they are out there - believe me.
I have not had success with on-line dating (in fact, check out my recent Question), and want to focus right now on meeting men in the real world. I go to a lot of classical music stuff (it's my thing), and participate in a lot of sports activities, like organized marathons and triathlons, and have met some nice men at these events (participants and not).
Get out and about. Do something every day, either a function or going for a walk around other people, or just browsing in a bookstore. Also find stuff that interests you and start participating. Political functions, volunteer work - anything that will put you in proximity to folks who are like-minded.
I do acknowledge that it's not easy, but there are men out there who like women our age (even younger men!).

Heck no, you are never to old to remarry, especially if you are physically fit at that age. Go out dancing or go somewhere where you can flaunt what you have. Men should be all over you. Ok so I'm not nearly 45 but I'll tell you I have been very attracted to women who are over the age of 40 seems kinda wierd but hey. You will find someone who suits you best but never give up hope. And i wouldn't date online,,, it vary rarely works out. Dating online is the death of all relationships in my opinion.

I'm 47 and the thing I like most is mature women. Not to just "play around" with, even though they are good but same approximate age gives a lot of opportunities for conversation.
I've been married 17 years but like all they like to flirt. Women do to...I guess it's a turn on for both. But, just because your 49 is not a reason to not remarry. Just got to find the right man that thinks like I do.
True...a lot of men in my age bracket like lusting after younger women but it would never be a thing for me. I'm for more of companionship and personality. I ain't 20 years old anymore and I know it.
But, to really answer your question, there is the right person out there for evryone. Sometimes it takes time to discover them.

Well, I am ALMOST 45, so I will drop my two cents worth. I STOPPED finding 20 year olds attractive gradually over the past several years. OK, they can be pleasant to LOOK at, but, as a group, don't offer me a lot in the way of a relationship.

Hell no, you are in your prime. Dont recommend the internet. You need to let friends know that you are available, but dont push marrage thing as a starting point, that is a turn off at the beginning. Go where the men are and try to get into there intrest. You will do just fine.

Of course you are not too old. This is like saying or asking, if you are too old to smile? I believe you are experiencing the fact that the older we become the harder it can be to find that special person. Mostly because we are wiser and/or less tolerant to make the sacrifice for things. Just as men are attracted to youth, women continue to hold to their desire for security and stability. But by far are you too old.

most of the time it isn't the shape you are in, it's the attitude you have, I sense it in your question , an anger with men. first thing you do when you meet a man is feel you gotta beat him down , put him in his place so to speak. why do you do that? inferiority I suspect. you want men to chase you like they did when you were 20 and had more to offer, and you are angry when they don't. you may remarry but he will be in his 60's probably. good luck.

There's nothing wrong with your age. Just proceed as usual and I'm sure you will meet someone. Don't rush yourself into a disastrous relationship. Women who are ''well maintained'' (sorry to make you sound like a Buick) are so much more attractive than girls!

That's exactly what l was gonna say, said 24 year old must be gay. Anyway, gay men have really good taste so l guess those must be some smashing shoes.
