Expectations Man being over 40 (automatically?) raise her expectations for an LTR?

[POB]

Something I noticed after I went over 40...they ALWAYS expect me to give them an LTR, no matter the approach
And it has nothing to do with my frame (I've been dealing with non-exclusive relationships for the past 13 years, so i know how to manage it)
Basically I had to adjust my relationship game to this new reality.

Before, I could get away with no contact, once a month encounters, and a whole bunch of young gun shenanigans.
Now, I must be really carefull to balance expectations, because I sense they have started to see me as an unicorn...a really fit and young looking 44yo dude who knows what he is doing and has zero baggage for them to handle.
Funny enough, I became "the catch" lol

I'll come back to it later, once I've formulated better and deeper thoughts about this subject.

Are the girls you are approaching also older now than the ones you used to? Or are you basically meeting the same demographic as before?

Pob i have to respectfully disagree with the post... Is more of causation correlation... Again women game in containment.. men game is to be free... It is biology... And attractive man no matter the age could be in middle school, the girl will want to contained aka make boyfriend take out of market... Happens on all games at all ages what happens after 40 your pool will have a bit older girls that are more to settle in my opinion that also may happen a bit more often with online women as well that are not getting that many cool attractive men..

You gave me good food for thought...as I said before, I'll try to further this topic once I'm able to gather my thinking

Completely disagree, my experience is that their age is irrelevant, if they want a LTR that's what they want, if an ONS then that, doesn't matter if 19 or 29 or etc.

are you getting slow gamed now before the first lay, like boyfriend vetted? if not, it sounds like you just leveled up and they can't get enough of you now... maybe before it was more take it or leave it... now more obsession.

you guys probably remember David Shade... this from 2020 he was 64 dating a 20 year old (not traditional LTR... hidden from her parents). this is not a damaged girl with daddy issues either. he is ALL about screening. she accelerated university and was a PhD student with high self esteem and good relationship with her father, and parents still married.

maybe the extreme age difference slots him purely in lover category though, fully disqualified from LTR. but still... seems anything is possible
