Do men not want to date women in their late 30s?

[onlinedatingsucks]

I am on a dating app - and I get one like a day. It has been years and years since I dated and I used to get so much more interest. Is it my age?

‘Lol. I'll tell my friends who are struggling with their fertility in their 40s is "bollocks"’

Don’t be so ridiculous.

This thread is a prime example of why Mumsnet could use more active moderation. There's no reason for personal insults and attacks simply because they people disagree. It derails the thread and drives away posters who might contribute something thoughtful. I realise the old way of moderation with a very light touch used to work 15 years ago but it simply doesn't anymore. We are getting less and less witty well reasoned debate. It descends into passive aggressive bullshit/name calling so fast now. It's just a shame.

There's a marked difference between a career and a job. A career is a lifelong endeavor a part of your personal identity and a job is something you do solely for money. I run a business but it's still just a vehicle to earn money. No more no less.
I think it's very difficult to be wholly present in a full-time relationship-career and a family.

yep I would agree with this, I’ve had a 30 year career in one industry that has allowed me to change jobs, travel be my own boss, earn a lot of money but I have also had to work away, work nights, work long and unsocial hours be on call, commute (a lot), and it affects every aspect of a relationship.
to my way of thinking, a job would be defined as turning up at one place, do your 9-5 then go home and forget about it until tomorrow

"a job would be defined as turning up at one place, do your 9-5 then go home and forget about it until tomorrow"

That's what my job is because I work 9-5, but there are plenty of people who have jobs that are not careers, but who work nights or anti-social hours.

Ok. I will be in blunt, because hats how I was brought up.
