Single women often tell me they "know a guy" who seems to like them but who just won't make the first move. They say, "maybe he just needs a little encouragement." My theory is that most men know what they want; and if they don't act interested, they're not interested. My husband says that's generally true, but that over-40 men are more worried about rejection than they were 20 years ago. Which is it ? ... or is the answer somewhere in the middle?

At 40 there is so much going on in life, it's not the same from when we were in our 20's. For me, I don't even know what I want anymore. Attraction is so nice to have, at the same time I'm not sure I want to start all over again.

I think they are afraid of losing what ever they happened to have, material things that is. or they are by that time set in their ways and are not wanting to share or something who knows by the way this is a womans opnion. Im sure there are other reasons. I will check the answers you get out later.

From what I've heard, if you can find a guy in his fifty's, who isn't a drunk or a wife beater, and who holds a steady job, he is a keeper.
That is how bad is has gotten for women in their late forties or fifties.
The dating scene is clogged, not many of us around.

Some of everything. Also women are looking for younger men,look at all the female teachers arrested for having sex with their male students.

Because they have low self-esteem being 40 and lonely. Why don't you make the first move you prude.
