Alright, I got tons of good advice on here shockingly. I'm a widow, two kids, great job/career which I've maintained because of my widow status. How do I find a likeminded man who is ready to go the next mile with me? I've tried church - too many "struggling couples" so I am never invited to anything at my age, and the single guys are all younger, childless and dealing with porn addiction. My husband was a regular guy who got into opioid and overdosed when I was pregnant with my second - that was 10 years ago and only now just starting to date again. But I explaining this to illustrate why I've been both completely kid focused while my personal mourning has been conflicted. Anyway, I would love to have a partner for my latter years who is like minded and doesn't want more kids. Is it possible?

So spend your entire existence and all its worth, your finance, skills, learned experience raising someone else genetic progeny is the ultimate cuck move. I'm disgusted in my self for even having to read what you wrote.
I have an extended family member. Widowed and hard-working. She's a wonderful woman. All of her children are grown. Through her work, she met an amazing hard-working man. His kids too were all grown up. Because they have both struggled, they have a renowned sense of faith that is unshakable. They had a small but beautiful wedding.
They are both looking to retire soon and I couldn't be happier for them.
Chances are the right man for you is out there working his ass off. Let's hope you catch him while he's working. That's exactly how my wife found me.
I asked his mom and she said “oh I cant remember, this old beef curtain has seen so many dicks. Dog dicks, con dicks, horse dicks, bleg dicks, I just cant be expected to remember all of them!” So I dont know, jury is still out it seems, con.

Or a long-distance relationship with a far away mildly interesting kiwi who still has his own teeth and hair - and i'll also throw in a weekly zoom call.
You want a woman with a penis? Maybe you can find one at the local synagogue, but inviting a man you want into your current relationship will effect your kids. Everyone involved here would be more happy if you asked your kids to choose a partner for you. Seriously, talk to your kids about this and tell them you really miss their dad, but that you also need to have an adult around. Kids are great at keeping their eyes open for the kind of guy you are looking for. It’s probably a guy that hasn’t had the financial stability to ever consider having kids himself and instead enjoys walking his dog at the park - and might be tired of being alone. Could be living alone in a house that used to have been looking over his dying mother. Or another guy that also has grown kids and lost his wife to cancer.
Just pointing out you won’t find anyone like-minded. You shouldn’t have expected that from your previous husband or anyone else for that matter. As long as you are able to communicate and not talk at each other like walls.
There’s plenty out there, you may have to make the first move though. Start doing things that you like and you may meet someone that likes to do the same.
Don’t listen to the incels here, having older kids isn’t always a deal breaker.
Try taking a public class on something that interests you, or will at least increase your skill set at the same time you are looking.
- Firearms training class at an establish shooting public range -or- Concealed Carry - CPR / First Aid training, or Emergency Medical Technician - A reputable Self-Defense (Ju jitsu, MMA, etc.) class at a large facility - A local charity that does large public works, or events
It could be anything really that interest you, would likely draw in someone like minded, and hopefully looking for exactly what you are.
Just remember it also has to be something the type of person you are interested in meeting might be into. Do NOT go to some estrogen-loaded knitting class hoping to meet anything other than a Soy_faggot.
I would love to have a partner for my latter years who is like minded and doesn't want more kids.
Consider others in a similar situation. If they have kids already, the desire to add may not be that high. A "Brady Bunch" scenario might work for everyone.
If you're looking for the right one and not just soneone, be as straightforward as possible. My wife found me that way.
The playing field is very different at 40 than it was at 20. Anyone you meet who is single will have some sort of baggage. My only advice is to pray. Many here will scoff at the idea, but it's always worked for me. I hope things work out for you. You seem decent and deserving of something good.
Over 40 is gen x territory and as a male that is 46 i can tell you why. We been burned far to many times by investments within people.
If no one in your social circle has made an attempt to be with you, then you are the reason! No offense i hope, but something they know about you, or your kids is keeping them away.
Eh 10 years raising kids with my head down. My social circle is pot lucks at church and the neighborhood grocery store. I don't really have a friend circle - single people my age I have nothing in common with.
I don't know you, but I know and understand people and their behaviors or mannerism very well.
There is at least one male close to you that wants to fuck you, or thinks of it within a religious setting that you both attend. However you claim no attempts?
Either you are frigid and take zero care of your appearance which i highly doubt based on your articulate responses within this thread, or you are just tedious, which i doubt as well since you have multiple children.
Going to take you at your word on your identity because I have no reason to doubt you. So this lack of interest you are having is because of others perception of you.
What do men in your area do on their days off? Determine that grasshopper and you will find the peen that is lean and that will always be your dean. You know?
My partner (f35) and I (m32) met when I got snowed in at Chicago while long haul trucking. She was a Denny's Asst Mgr on duty. Chatted with her, as any bored trucker would. Well, we're both over 65 now, and have been married for three decades.
Other suggested it, and it's true: Get out in public, doing something that men often do. My daughter took my advice and took archery lessons. She's been married 4 years now. Nice guy. As for your situation, any group activity would suffice. Bowling, canoeing, skiing, even starting a dog walking service. Anything where you get to meet a variety of fellas will do.
I found these in 2 seconds. And if you are going to bitch about online stuff, then can't help you. If you want personal, start a widow/widowers support group yourself.
What kind of shape are you in? Are you overweight? Do you work out? Do you keep yourself well groomed and dressed? No pajamas in public?
In my experience if you are in shape and keep yourself up, you will get attention from men everywhere. It’s up to you to discriminate and filter to find a man worthwhile.

It's hilarious anyone would think I'm a glow. Just a normal person seeing what to do next. What is revealed in this thread that a fed could possibly use? Anyway, thanks GOATS for your advice. This is actually been all quite helpful.
Getting kids through the teen years. Supporting their independence while sharing interests with someone. Retirement, travel - I've always dreamt of living on a modest boat and traveling. I am really looking to the future, and am patient - I do like my time to myself, but I would prefer to share it with someone.
A place where you can come across the same people repeatedly in a casual environment - where people are free to talk to you and you are visibly easily approachable. And there is high visibility from the type of people you would like to meet. Even better if it is a purpose based location.
An example might be an online club, book club, massively multi player online game. Use a mix of in person and virtual. Also use a paid service, and acquaintances.
Virtual is useful because it is quickly accessible, in all weather at all times.
User microeconomics techniques - a mix of sources to quickly interact with many people.
Also be in locations where many people can see and approach you repeatedly.
May the Lord comfort you as you go through this challenging time.
How to Date Over 40 and Have High Success with Men
If a woman over 40 wants to date successfully and attract high-quality men, here’s what she should focus on:
---
1. Embrace Confidence & Authenticity
Men are drawn to women who are comfortable in their own skin.
Be direct about what you want in a relationship—whether it’s serious or casual.
Insecurity and playing games are unnecessary at this stage of life.
---
2. Prioritize a Positive Attitude
Men notice when a woman is enjoyable to be around. If you bring warmth, humor, and good energy, you’ll stand out.
If you’re bitter about dating, men, or past relationships, that negativity will show.
Focus on what you want now, not on past disappointments.
---
3. Be Open to Different Types of Men
Many women have a long list of “must-haves” that might be limiting their options.
Instead of focusing on height, income, or superficial traits, prioritize character, values, and compatibility.
A man who makes you laugh and feel respected is worth more than one who just “checks the boxes.”
---
4. Take Care of Yourself (Physically & Emotionally)
Men are visual, and while looks aren’t everything, they do matter. Put effort into your health, style, and presentation.
Confidence in your appearance is more attractive than perfection.
Emotionally, make sure you’re truly ready for a relationship. If you still have baggage from past relationships, work through it first.
---
5. Show Interest in Him
Men want to feel appreciated and valued just as much as women do.
Ask about his hobbies, passions, and opinions—not just surface-level small talk.
If he feels like you genuinely care about who he is (not just what he provides), he’ll be drawn to you.
---
6. Let Him Lead… But Not Too Much
Many men over 40 are used to taking charge, but they also appreciate a woman who knows what she wants.
Allow him to plan dates and pursue you, but also show that you’re interested by reciprocating.
If a man has to do all the work, he might assume you’re not that interested.
---
7. Be Selective—But Not Unrealistic
Have standards, but don’t expect perfection. Men over 40 have their own history, just like you do.
Look for someone whose flaws you can live with, not someone without flaws.
If you meet a great guy but reject him for minor things, you might be overlooking someone amazing.
---
8. Don’t Overanalyze Everything
A lot of dating struggles come from women reading too much into small details.
If he hasn’t texted you back in an hour, it doesn’t mean he’s lost interest. Men don’t communicate the same way women do.
If he says he had a great time, he probably did—there’s no secret meaning to decode.
---
9. Avoid Common Red Flags in Yourself
Don’t talk endlessly about your ex or past relationships—it’s a turnoff.
Don’t go on a date expecting the man to prove himself to you. It should be mutual.
Don’t treat every date as an interview—relax and have fun!
---
10. Be Playful & Feminine
Men are drawn to women who are fun, a little flirty, and lighthearted.
You don’t have to be overly seductive, but a little playful teasing or humor makes you more attractive.
Show appreciation for his efforts—if he plans a nice date, acknowledge it!
---
Final Thought:
The best dating advice is simple: Be someone you would want to date. If you bring confidence, kindness, and fun into the experience, high-quality men will notice—and they’ll want to pursue you.
Age, children, and great career all significantly reduce your pool of suitable men. That's before knowing how you look and behave and how unrealistically picky you are for your status. Even saying "partner" is a red flag.
It's very possible what you're looking for is not possible.
Coffee shops. Saturday or Sunday mornings are best, relaxed atmosphere, easy to exchange pleasantries. It's almost a guarantee that any singles there did not have a date the night before.
You have a lot of (bad) options. You could cruise churches, bars, dating apps, or grocery stores; they all suck. I am about to turn 40. If I were to think about my wife (22 years together) dying and where I would look (if I looked); the only place I would look for women would be in places where women were in women roles (because I am a patriarchal asshole). I would look to the check-out girl, the coffee barista, the waitress at my local diner. There is a chance I would dabble in the dating apps; but honestly I would probably just O.D. myself if I lost her. I guess what I am saying is; you need to go to where you think the "type" of guy you want would be. Do you want a bar fly? A sportsball faggot? A religious type? etc. etc. I wish you luck.
Try to do hobby groups like hiking via the meetup app. Theres also ski groups that do trips. These are just examples, but what you want is to be in a group setting for an extended period of time where you can mingle. If not a husband you might make a new girlfriend who will lead to a husband.
It’s beyond selfish to think a man should help raise your kids to another man whilst offering him nothing in return. No family of his own, no youth, all of your life milestones achieved with other guys. It’s like being invited to party after everyone went home, just to clean up at your expense. Except the party got fucked by 20+ yrs worth of dick.
Shows the farcical nature of love. If your partner can move on after your death, why bother having them in the first place? I would advise you to be content with your current situation, and find meaning in something else. There's not enough time to fulfill many of one's dreams even while single, let alone married. Granted you don't lack the spark of passion and fascination, that is.

Heads up. Most women if not all have a back up guy in case. My back up got the vaxx and is slowly dying so... theres that. There's no talking before you get all high and mighty and emo about it. A person just keeps tabs is all.
eso se lllama tarros en mi pais o cuernos en el tuyo.de verdad ninguna mujer que se respete hace eso.
a menos que lo que quieras es fornicar si es para eso y el otro tarru o cuernudo lo sabe entonces que te puedo decir.
women should respect themselves that thing of having a back up man just in case is not much ladylike at all.
yeah i wouldnt share my woman's pussy with anyone. if i find her doing this, there would be huge trouble. i thought that you were more intelligent than that. people have lost their lives for stupidity like that.
sometimes i'm glad that i'm single. i dont have to deal with issues like these.no wonder today's relationships are a mess with people cheating on each other like that. i'm free of that trouble
@storefront, why would want to add trouble for your life, live for your kids and if your pussy is itching for sex then you have your fingers for that. sorry to be blunt but in this day and age is dangerous to bring another man when there's already a family in the house.
find a hobby and enjoy your freedom. this is my advice, its not perfect nor the best but will keep you out of trouble from any creeps
I cant believe you would scold me. Its not pegando cuernos. literally said there was no talking not even social media contact just tabs. physical attraction oh dosdevanya its not sexual attraction its an "mutually beneficial" deal.
either way like I said vaxxed, literally dying so the point is moot. Moot but it is something that is done.
edited when I saw your edit
sometimes i'm glad that i'm single. i dont have to deal with issues like these.no wonder today's relationships are a mess with people cheating on each other like that. i'm free of that trouble
i've never been single since I was 18 so we can't relate to each other. Nor am I a man i don care what "society" says about equality we are not the same. A single female doesnt fare as well as a single man.
I cant believe you would scold me. Its not pegando cuernos. literally said there was no talking not >even social media contact just tabs
just the fact that you have another guy as a back up. sorry but no, you are emotionally invested in to that second guy even if you arent having sex with him. that's emotional cheating in a way. hey at the end of the day its your life. you DO you.
personally, i ceased from looking from women online long time ago. i cherish my singlehood. nobody has to nag me for anything. i'm free, yes it gets lonely sometimes but its okay. i'm not the only one in my situation but i wouldnt never do that if i had a girlfriend or wife. if she is good why hurt her feelings or lie to her talking to other women online? i dont gain a prize for that and like i said i could get in trouble (remember lorena bobbit?)
not worth it. being alone these days is a blessing in disguise
lmao but seriously. i bet you wouldnt be happy to find out that your man is talking to other women and fucking them and when you have sex with him you get parts of the other's vaginal flow and germs inside of you. unless you are a swinger or something like that. on the same token, if i fuck a married woman i would be like fucking her hubby's dick by proxy (ewww) and that not counting the fact that if hubby finds out my life could be in jeopardy. i could get venereal shit from her hubby's fucked pussy too LOL. yeah no, never had an std and i'm not planning in catching one any time soon either.
sexuality is very complicated between two adults already to be including a third person which can make the whole thing volatile by itself. you are a grown up woman and i dont want have to tell you what to do. but i wouldnt want you to get hurt if the other finds out. at the end of the day is none of my business
Heads up. Most women if not all have a back up guy in case.
This is why there is no such thing as finding "the one". A woman is never yours, its just your turn. Women require emotional availability to engage in a physical relationship, and men require physical touch to open up emotionally. When we are reinforced with ideas like the "back up plan", it makes most men not want to prioritise relationships beyond just pump and dump.

My only advice is to pray. Many here will scoff at the idea, but it's always worked for me.
I hope things work out for you. You seem decent and deserving of something good.

If no one in your social circle has made an attempt to be with you, then you are the reason! No offense i hope, but something they know about you, or your kids is keeping them away.

I don't know you, but I know and understand people and their behaviors or mannerism very well.
There is at least one male close to you that wants to fuck you, or thinks of it within a religious setting that you both attend. However you claim no attempts?
Either you are frigid and take zero care of your appearance which i highly doubt based on your articulate responses within this thread, or you are just tedious, which i doubt as well since you have multiple children.
Going to take you at your word on your identity because I have no reason to doubt you. So this lack of interest you are having is because of others perception of you.

Other suggested it, and it's true: Get out in public, doing something that men often do. My daughter took my advice and took archery lessons. She's been married 4 years now. Nice guy. As for your situation, any group activity would suffice. Bowling, canoeing, skiing, even starting a dog walking service. Anything where you get to meet a variety of fellas will do.

A place where you can come across the same people repeatedly in a casual environment - where people are free to talk to you and you are visibly easily approachable. And there is high visibility from the type of people you would like to meet. Even better if it is a purpose based location.
An example might be an online club, book club, massively multi player online game. Use a mix of in person and virtual. Also use a paid service, and acquaintances.
Virtual is useful because it is quickly accessible, in all weather at all times.
User microeconomics techniques - a mix of sources to quickly interact with many people.
Also be in locations where many people can see and approach you repeatedly.
May the Lord comfort you as you go through this challenging time.

How to Date Over 40 and Have High Success with Men
If a woman over 40 wants to date successfully and attract high-quality men, here’s what she should focus on:
---
1. Embrace Confidence & Authenticity
Men are drawn to women who are comfortable in their own skin.
Be direct about what you want in a relationship—whether it’s serious or casual.
Insecurity and playing games are unnecessary at this stage of life.
---
2. Prioritize a Positive Attitude
Men notice when a woman is enjoyable to be around. If you bring warmth, humor, and good energy, you’ll stand out.
If you’re bitter about dating, men, or past relationships, that negativity will show.
Focus on what you want now, not on past disappointments.
---
3. Be Open to Different Types of Men
Many women have a long list of “must-haves” that might be limiting their options.
Instead of focusing on height, income, or superficial traits, prioritize character, values, and compatibility.
A man who makes you laugh and feel respected is worth more than one who just “checks the boxes.”
---
4. Take Care of Yourself (Physically & Emotionally)
Men are visual, and while looks aren’t everything, they do matter. Put effort into your health, style, and presentation.
Confidence in your appearance is more attractive than perfection.
Emotionally, make sure you’re truly ready for a relationship. If you still have baggage from past relationships, work through it first.
---
5. Show Interest in Him
Men want to feel appreciated and valued just as much as women do.
Ask about his hobbies, passions, and opinions—not just surface-level small talk.
If he feels like you genuinely care about who he is (not just what he provides), he’ll be drawn to you.
---
6. Let Him Lead… But Not Too Much
Many men over 40 are used to taking charge, but they also appreciate a woman who knows what she wants.
Allow him to plan dates and pursue you, but also show that you’re interested by reciprocating.
If a man has to do all the work, he might assume you’re not that interested.
---
7. Be Selective—But Not Unrealistic
Have standards, but don’t expect perfection. Men over 40 have their own history, just like you do.
Look for someone whose flaws you can live with, not someone without flaws.
If you meet a great guy but reject him for minor things, you might be overlooking someone amazing.
---
8. Don’t Overanalyze Everything
A lot of dating struggles come from women reading too much into small details.
If he hasn’t texted you back in an hour, it doesn’t mean he’s lost interest. Men don’t communicate the same way women do.
If he says he had a great time, he probably did—there’s no secret meaning to decode.
---
9. Avoid Common Red Flags in Yourself
Don’t talk endlessly about your ex or past relationships—it’s a turnoff.
Don’t go on a date expecting the man to prove himself to you. It should be mutual.
Don’t treat every date as an interview—relax and have fun!
---
10. Be Playful & Feminine
Men are drawn to women who are fun, a little flirty, and lighthearted.
You don’t have to be overly seductive, but a little playful teasing or humor makes you more attractive.
Show appreciation for his efforts—if he plans a nice date, acknowledge it!
---
Final Thought:
The best dating advice is simple: Be someone you would want to date.
If you bring confidence, kindness, and fun into the experience, high-quality men will notice—and they’ll want to pursue you.

Saturday or Sunday mornings are best, relaxed atmosphere, easy to exchange pleasantries.
It's almost a guarantee that any singles there did not have a date the night before.

I would advise you to be content with your current situation, and find meaning in something else. There's not enough time to fulfill many of one's dreams even while single, let alone married. Granted you don't lack the spark of passion and fascination, that is.

a menos que lo que quieras es fornicar si es para eso y el otro tarru o cuernudo lo sabe entonces que te puedo decir.
women should respect themselves that thing of having a back up man just in case is not much ladylike at all.
yeah i wouldnt share my woman's pussy with anyone. if i find her doing this, there would be huge trouble. i thought that you were more intelligent than that. people have lost their lives for stupidity like that.
sometimes i'm glad that i'm single. i dont have to deal with issues like these.no wonder today's relationships are a mess with people cheating on each other like that. i'm free of that trouble
@storefront, why would want to add trouble for your life, live for your kids and if your pussy is itching for sex then you have your fingers for that. sorry to be blunt but in this day and age is dangerous to bring another man when there's already a family in the house.
find a hobby and enjoy your freedom. this is my advice, its not perfect nor the best but will keep you out of trouble from any creeps

edited when I saw your edit
i've never been single since I was 18 so we can't relate to each other. Nor am I a man i don care what "society" says about equality we are not the same. A single female doesnt fare as well as a single man.

just the fact that you have another guy as a back up. sorry but no, you are emotionally invested in to that second guy even if you arent having sex with him. that's emotional cheating in a way. hey at the end of the day its your life. you DO you.
personally, i ceased from looking from women online long time ago. i cherish my singlehood. nobody has to nag me for anything. i'm free, yes it gets lonely sometimes but its okay. i'm not the only one in my situation but i wouldnt never do that if i had a girlfriend or wife. if she is good why hurt her feelings or lie to her talking to other women online? i dont gain a prize for that and like i said i could get in trouble (remember lorena bobbit?)

sexuality is very complicated between two adults already to be including a third person which can make the whole thing volatile by itself. you are a grown up woman and i dont want have to tell you what to do. but i wouldnt want you to get hurt if the other finds out. at the end of the day is none of my business

This is why there is no such thing as finding "the one". A woman is never yours, its just your turn.
Women require emotional availability to engage in a physical relationship, and men require physical touch to open up emotionally. When we are reinforced with ideas like the "back up plan", it makes most men not want to prioritise relationships beyond just pump and dump.
