Before starting this blog, Simone Grant was my favorite female blogger. Her candor, humor, and honesty makes her a very interesting read and one of the staples in the dating community. Simone Grant is a writer/blogger who lives in New York City.  She blogs daily at Sex, Lies and Dating in the City.

One of my new favorite reads is More Magazine.  Although, I’m officially out of their target demographic, at 39 I’m not quite “old enough” (they “celebrate women 40+”), hehe.

The truth is that as much as I like some of the other mags for women, I feel left out. So many of the articles in other mags are obviously written by and for women in their 20s/early 30s.  And the differences in our life experiences is rather glaring, at times.

So today I was taking a break and reading More and came across this.  A question we’ve pondered here, on the blog, many times:  Why do men in their 40s think I’m old? Although I think the WHY is kind of obvious - because they can. I don’t love the advice given, nor do I hate it.  As a woman who lives with this issue I constantly have to remind myself that not ALL men in their 40s think I’m old.  Only some.  And while I have widened my search (I’ve always dated older and am now trying to convince myself to be open to younger) I haven’t given up on those guys in their 40s either.
