I wouldn’t call men in their late 30’s middle-aged.. 40 is the new 30! ;)

Many men hold off until their 40’s for their first marriage so yes, I’d say they still desire marriage or a committed relationship...

They also have a biological clock although it starts ticking much much later than for women and it’s nowhere near as intense.

As for men who are divorced with kids.. that’s a different story... I’d say that most will want some kind of a committed relationship but won’t be as likely to jump into another marriage like they did the first one.. especially if the divorce was really nasty.

Older, divorced men with kids may not want more kids.. but many accept that if they date a younger woman, she will want marriage and probably kids.. some just want to have fun.

Some men got taken for everything they had in a divorce as laws tend to favor the woman if the man had money.. in this case, they will be extremely vigilant as to whom they let get close to them.

People come in different shapes, sizes and relationships want... but, you won’t find many people who are intent on ending up alone.

They may say that they don’t want a serious relationship because they have been hurt in the past... it doesn’t mean they don’t want one when the right person comes along.

Older men may think a $40 000 country club wedding (sometimes along with the institution of marriage) is horse shit and will put their foot down and won’t agree to it because they no longer care what their relatives and Facebook friends like...

That doesn’t necessarily mean that they don’t want a loving, committed relationship. As we get older, we still want companionship.. many of us also become immune to what other people think.. we do what we think is right.. we wait longer.. we evaluate a person longer before committing.. (unless that biological clock is ticking..)
