Should women be interested in childless men over 50 yrs. old?
{questions}
I am much younger than the women you refer to, but feel I can impart some information I gathered personally. I dated many guys in this age range when I was single.
You are right on about the quirks and red flags associated with men (especially older guys without children). My experience says they fall into one of these categories:
1) They are strange/mental/narcissistic in some way. Either they dislike kids so much that they’ve made a conscious decision never to have any, or they are so weird that no woman every wanted to make a baby with them. Seriously.
2) They really aren’t “childless.” Later, the woman will find out that he has grown child(ren) out there somewhere.
3) They are in that *small* segment of older males that it just hasn’t happened for, and are completely nice and normal.
Hope this helps!

Are you saying that it’s somehow a dating red flag for a man over 55 years-old to never have had a child?!! How so?
My husband is a wonderful guy over 55 who never had a child. Whereas, the men I’ve dated with children rarely had time for me. I was an afterthought, very low on their priorities list.
P.S. My observations do not fit the person below me at all. My husband didn’t have children b/c he was born with some health problems and was afraid he might die prematurely. Also, he’s very concerned about overpopulation and global warming, and didn’t want to add children to the planet. When his father became sick, he took care of him for many years until his death, changing his job so he could work at home, so he’s definitely a loving, nurturing guy.
