What Women What
I was trying to think of something to write about today, but I was experiencing a bit of writer's block. Perhaps it's because I haven't felt well all day. So I decided to go to a search engine and plug in "women over 40". I thought it might give me some fresh ideas on what women over 40 are looking for, and talking about, on the Internet.
Well, surprise, surprise! Apparently, women my age mostly want information about online dating! Yes, single women over 40, take heart. If you're not married yet, all you need to do is go online and to find Mr. Right. Who knew? And apparently, there are some fellas out there searching the same topic, because for them, I found Beautiful Russian Women Seeking Marriage. Some sites skipped right over the dating pitch and are offering "sex for women over 40". Well who am I to judge? But since I am all grown up now, it occurs to me that there might be safer and smarter ways to find a partner (for whatever you want) than going to an unknown Web site. I know there are some reputable online dating sites out there, and I personally know of a few very happy couples who have met online in various ways, not just through dating sites. But please, be careful when you're lookin' for love, ladies.
I did find a few cool sites for women over 40 today in my search, including:
- Mothers Over 40
- About.com's Women Over 40 Divorce Support
- Travel Adventures for Women
- Neat Women Inc.
- and many sites about women's health.
So what do women over 40 really want, think about, and search for on the Web? I guess it depends on the woman. But I can say personally, I've found work, knowledge, and lots of friends here. What more could I want?
Comments
I met my significant other on the web. But not at a dating site. Does that count? We weren't really looking for love, but it drug us both to a back alley and beat us over the head until we submitted.
