Hey Guys,

I've been wanting to get this girl out on a date for quite a while but it's been a hilarious and sometimes frustrating experience.

BACKSTORY:

I should probably start with the fact that I'm a musician that's played in several bands over the past 10 years, so I see and meet numerous women on a monthly basis. I first read Chase's article "Why I Quit Dating Girls Who Club, Party or Drink" over a year ago. Because of this, I've mostly steered clear of 95% of women I meet in the clubs I play at or visit to watch other bands play. Over a year ago, Chase and other posters suggested using the club scene to improve and practice my skills and gradually work towards "day game.

The first challenge I had with this from last year is that all of the women I had met had friend-zoned me before I found Girls Chase in April 2013. Some of these women were at every gig I played at. And some of these women were at the same venues on my off nights when I went to see other bands. I quickly came to the conclusion that 99% of these women were out of contention--by my choice.

I decided to experiment and only pursue attractive women that I had never seen before or only saw on rare occasions. They also had to either be non-drinkers or light, social drinkers that weren't getting plastered (By the way, I've read some of the recent articles about proper screening so I'm also trying to do this too now).

I first met this girl about 6 years ago and she had a boyfriend at the time and I was married to my first wife. We were never friends, she was just an acquaintance through other fans of my band at the time. So over the course of 6 years, she's had 3 boyfriends and I've been married and divorced twice and had one girlfriend. Now here's the funny part, over the past 6 years, I only run into her or see her about every 3-4 months (I know through other mutual friends or acquaintances that she only frequents the 2 clubs I play at because they're close to where she lives). She also likes live bands and loves to dance so that rules out any other clubs within a 5 mile range of the suburb of where she lives.

So every time we've crossed paths, one or both of us had a significant other. Pretty much a timing thing. But a year ago, I let an opportunity slip away when we were both actually single at a holiday party. My major reservation at the time was that my second divorce wasn't quite finalized--it was done three months later. My head wasn't quite there and I let her leave the party alone. Since last year, I've only seen her 3 times at any of my gigs. And all three times I wasn't able to move her because my band plays the whole night--four hours. And I've tried to set up dates and she's flaked every time. And yes, there's always been a mutual attraction every time we see each other. I think one of the major challenges I'm having is explained below. In the big scheme of things I find the whole thing comical. I just thought it would be cool to hook up with girl once to see where it goes. But I've come across this same issue with other women over the past year as well.

NEW POSSIBLE ARTICLE AND/OR FORUM TOPIC (FOR CHASE, OTHER AUTHORS AND POSTERS):

Here's another situation that would be great to see discussed and written about in future articles, etc.: single women with kids of any age. And I'm not just talking about young guys going after MILFs or cougers. I'm talking about women your own age and even younger than you that have kids of various ages. This is another major reason I don't see many of them very often, if ever, at a bar (it depends on the ages of their kids, of course). What's even more challenging and interesting in my age range (early 50's), is the women that I want to date (40-50) aren't just mothers--they're grandmothers too. Shocking, huh? LOL! This is where I sometimes struggle with the idea of "absolute abundance." A vast majority of women between 40-50 are already accounted for and/or also have kids--period. That's the reality. Another challenge here is that they're constantly doing things with their kids (which isn't a bad thing really) leaving less availability for dating men.

So the girl in question I'm talking about falls into this category mentioned above. She has 5 kids between the ages of 14-25. My last girlfriend had 5 kids between 20-28. I know another attractive woman that has 5 kids with ages ranging between 3-15. And just to show a variance from 5 kids, I met a gorgeous blonde in her late 30's with 2 kids earlier this year. Nightclubs? Uh, barely or hardly ever. Bars? LOL! What about "day game?" How the hell would you pull that off? All 4 of these women have day jobs and are obviously busy.

I'm not trying to be pessimistic here, I'm just looking for some new seduction solutions and direction with older women. Most of you probably don't give a shit if you're only a teenager or in your 20's or 30's. But if you're in your 40's or 50's and single, you'll be dealing with this a majority of the time. And I think that Chase's articles discussing women wanting children or the best seed possible doesn't really apply here. I think those priorities shift due to their age (more so after 40) and they've already achieved having children.

I guess this post would be the exact opposite of Colt's 3 articles about cougars and what he discusses there. I think it would be interesting to see this laid out from the perspective of guys who are the same age or older than the cougar and MILF ages mentioned in Colt's articles. Colt does briefly mention dealing with cougars who have children and their respective exes. How do you date these women? Where do you meet them? How do you call or text them to actually get them out of the house? I think they're a smaller subset of women that sometimes fall through the cracks because they don't appear to be visibly available. It's really hilarious because I've seen teenagers on here at Girls Chase asking for advice on how to seduce their teenage girl prospects when one or both of their parents are around. I've been in two situations where the woman I'm interested in has her twenty-something year old daughter or son with them at the club or someplace else. How the hell do you manage that?

You bring couple of great points.

* Single and young mothers >> Usually looking for providers
* MILFs/Cougars >> Good fuck
* 40 year old grandmothers >> Can still be very hot looking

"Older" women are not actually that bad, talking about 30-40 years old range. I met some quite hot, e.g. she was Latina, 40 years old, and she looked much hotter than most young ones (22-30). They are more mature, they are sweet, they are more responsible (e.g. kids), the silliness and naivety is usually gone. They also have more experience, e.g. dated more guys for longer time, so the shyness of younger girls is usually gone. They can create very good vibes without you even trying. In general, they "test" you differently than younger girls (the stupidity is usually gone), they don't play silly games, they answer your messages and they will not flake on dates (if she says she will go, she will go or let you know otherwise).

Usually women at this age group know exactly what they want, they look for something particular. Examples:

30 year old with a child, was still "cute, silly and sweet", looked 10 years younger, Latina, sharp, average ambitions. Tried to date her, was rejected. She just wanted to fuck, get some sexual experience, but at the same time she was really looking for a provider. I had a bad frame, she knew I was after other girls. She ended up being with a guy who also had a child. Looking back, she was quite hesitant, 50/50 to date me vs the other guy. I had much better attraction, the other guy was more family oriented. She chose family guy as he "fits" her much better. Wanted provider, but with good skills she'd sleep around.

37 year old, very pretty and sweet, very sharp, one child. Again, bad frame, she knew I was after other girls, wanted to date her but I didn't even have a chance. The same like above, she wanted to fuck NSA but really was looking for a provider. I wasn't clear whether I want to just fuck or date her. She also dumped her BF x3 years who was less mature and great looking, and married a guy she was exactly looking for: good income, stable, and not so smart. Provider.

37, married, not so good looking, average IQ, no ambitions, just a fling. Was she bored?

45 or so, hot looking, secretary style MILF, Latina. Divorced, average intelligence, no ambitions. Wanted just pure fuck, wouldn't date any guy.

32, single, very hot and bright, ambitious, mature and sweet, great income, independent. 10 extra pounds. Looking for a provider only, but willing to sleep around.

40, Latina, 2 kids, married, strong family/traditional type. Bright, ambitious, very independent. Too fucking skinny. She totally confused me, I thought that she wants to fuck, she was after me 1-2 months while I tried to convince myself that it will not go anywhere. No way I would break up marriage and take care of he children, but then she was putting up breaks against my attempts for adventure. I'm still quite confused, I had no idea what she wanted. My best guess is that she wanted to fuck only but I screwed it up by trying to "seduce" her. Or she just wanted to play as she was too bored in her marriage. I should have seen my own face when she introduced me to her kids, LOL. Wanted provider only, I refuse to believe that she would sleep with a guy outsider her marriage.

37, good looking, normal girl, no kids, average IQ, no ambitions. Was very hurt by previous relationship, only wanted BF, only provider. No way she would sleep around.

Tried to bed 39 years old, good mom with grown kid, European, traditionally raised. Good Girl, was burned twice with long term relationships. 2 dates and all the advances towards sex were rejected, she would never sleep with a guy fast, even when drunk. It's been like 5 months since, and she's still bombarding me with fucking emails. Me, romance, and provider? Fuck no. But she knows exactly what she wants - Provider only.

------

So, there you go, IMO women at this age are usually looking for very specific match, and it is usually (but not always) provider. Sometimes the provider means average guy who is stable and has decent income. Sometimes when she's got a kids, she is looking for a guy with kids so the relationship is more "equal" and you don't have the upper hand...

You might actually have much better chances if you present yourself as a provider rather than a lover (as being described here on GC). With more mature women you might get much further with classical dating instead of pushing for sex on first 1-2 dates. They know what they want, and they are looking for something specific.

Usually if you present yourself as a mature man, who is stable and who has good income, and who is not afraid to fuck her brains out, you won't have much problems getting dates. With fundamentals t is actually much easier than seducing younger/inexperienced girls. IMO these women have much bigger problem than guys the same age: They actually can't find a real man they are looking for, most good guys are married, and what is left is, well, not so attractive as a man...

As far as your specific woman, I don't like the "I've tried to setup dates and she's flaked every time". If she were interested she would go with no hesitation. There may be attraction, or she may appear that she is very attracted, but the real story is that she knows exactly what she is doing. I wouldn't make any excuses for her, ask her directly for a date and if she goes, she goes. If not, she is not interested. It may not even be you as not being a man, she may be simply looking for a guy who has 3 kids himself, thus would be much better match...

Irish Rebel,

I think Drck brings up some great points about the mindsets of these women. At that point in their life, they have so much on their plate that they really can't spend their minimal amount of time looking only for lovers. They've likely already had their fair share of lovers and flings at that point, and it's much more critical for them to lock down a stable provider to help raise their children and pay the bills. When you've got to feed 5 mouths and work one or two jobs simultaneously, you, sadly, don't even have time to think about hook-ups or quick flings. So showing more provider potential would certainly help (by possibly taking her on a date and paying for the dinner, for example).

That all being said, I'm not really sure why you would want to only dip into this pool of women. These are women likely beyond their prime, and the fact that they already have children means that they may not want any more with you, meaning you don't get to pass on your genes. There is also a ticking timer on their looks at that point, and even the ones that look good at 45 may deteriorate rapidly by 50 (for example). If it were me, I would still be targeting younger, more fertile women. There are plenty of women in their mid 20s or early 30s that are looking for a man to provide them with children and a family who not only have many years left of stunning beauty but also are probably much more fertile and ripe for reproducing with.

If the problem is that you don't think you CAN bed these women anymore because of your age, then that's maybe where your problem lies. I would check out these two articles before you think you're stuck with only dating women in their 40s and 50s:

Yeah. My own experience pretty much ties in with this. On Tinder I had an okay profile (but only okay), with almost my true age (36.. I'm 38.. long story, had entered a fake name and birthdate into FB for unrelated reasons), anyway although it showed me heaps of hot younger women I wasn't on their radar (guess their age pref is 25-35 or whatever), the 30+'s that matched with me were ruthlessly screening for provider and reproductive value, it was scary, you couldn't even make a joke of it, they'd just relentlessly drill in and unmatch you quick smart if you tried to show lover value. Blech! No fun at all!!

So when I am out daygaming I tend to go for 20-30yo, ideally mid to late 20s. Although I'm not averse to MILF it's simply that the challenges are different -- MILF may want quick sex but is often in an unbreakable LTR, or hampered logistically (accompanied by kids or whatever)... whereas the younger they are the less likely they are to be committed elsewhere (at least unbreakably I mean) or intent on provider value. The challenge then as an older guy is to present myself as flirty and fun and someone their young immature self could get along with. To me it is better to tackle this challenge head on than waste time sorting through the detritus to find the nuggets when it comes to women my own age.... if she looks 25+ I'll usually scan for a wedding ring before approaching, not that this matters too much, but anything to increase my odds.

cheers, Ray

Drck,

Thanks for sharing all of those examples...eye opening to say the least. Yeah, I've run into other women (that I wasn't interested in) who have shared exactly what you said about meeting a guy who has a kid or two the same age that wants to hang out with or have a LTR with.

Franco,

Yeah, I've read both of those articles a handful of times. On the one hand, I think I need to stop listening to some of my male and female friends that give me shit about pursuing younger women. But on the other hand, I don't want any kids either at this point. I have 28 year old daughter that I never raised--she was adopted 22 years ago.

I know this sounds rather selfish but I'm about 14 years from retirement age and it's already looking pretty bleak retirement-wise. I got a very late start in life and didn't get a 4-year degree until I was 39 years old. Two divorces and a shitty economy has left me broke with ZERO assets. Oh wait, I have a car but I'm still paying attorneys fees, lol.

But the funny thing is I love my job and it pays the bills. And not many people can say that. And I also make a little side money playing music at night so I'm living my dreams in some respects. This is where I struggle with the "provider" role and whether I can actually pull that off with any woman no matter what age they are.

I guess I'm assuming that women between 40-50 who have had kids, been married and divorced once (or more than that) would have different expectation levels than their younger counterparts. I'm not dead set against dating much younger women than myself. I just think I would have more challenges with younger women's expectations and goals and how they would line up with mine.

As an older guy I have also run into women with kids. First of all I would like to dispel what I think is a myth that divorced moms are looking for providers. Very often these woman have nice divorce settlements with their rich ex-husband paying child support and they also got half his assets including an apartment or house. Living in NYC the majority of divorced women I meet are very well off for this reason and are not looking for providers.

Second, I don't want to be in a serious relationship with a woman that has kids just because I don't want to deal with those complexities. I find that I can keep things casual and keep seeing the women as long as I give them advance notice of when I want to see them so that they can make arrangements for sitters, etc. I make it a point not to meet the kids so there are no mixed signals being sent. I don't mind if they talk about their kids a bit because its something they all seem to want to do.
These women are back on the dating market and generally enjoy older guys with solid fundamentals and a bit of worldly knowledge. Its usually a nice contrast to their exhusbands.

This seems more to me like a case of you happening to run into what is mostly a minority of women. Almost every single girl I know back home that got knocked up (and ended up single somehow -- regardless of who broke it off) is almost constantly in a revolving door of relationships with guys that they are trying to tie down as a father for their children. Whether or not they want these guys more for their financial resources or emotional support is debatable (and I'm sure it varies on a case-by-case basis), but in general, they need the support.

In NYC, there are plenty of guys making six figures with all of the financial jobs out there (banking, investing, etc), so there are probably more men who can more easily support an ex-wife. But if you look in most parts of the United States, I'd think you find that most women are always looking for a man to be in their lives playing some sort of support role for the family.
