What do you mean "AS a ...man"? You are a man, right? We might need to change some answers if you are not.

I do think men age better than women to some extent, but both genders have the crazies.
I don't think men have anything close to menopause. We just grow a mullet and buy a Corvette.

You should really enjoy this time of your life. Do what you want to do, how you want to do it. Re-evaluate, and then begin again. i'm a little jealous to be honest.

We drop off slowly and over a longer time.

Like shooting fish in a barrel if you have taken care of yourself and don't have a wreck of a personal life.
This is what I'm told.

100%. Juggling 3 women right now and I wasn’t even wanting to date for a while after the divorce. It’s like they smelled it on me. If you have a decent personality and not a wreck they’re everywhere.

I'm living proof. I was 41 and she 27. Thankfully, I like you got my partying out of my system. I have an amazing wife. I don't deserve her but I'm thankful everyday for her.
I was really amazed at the younger women I pulled when I passed 40. I married 5 years ago to a gorgeous blonde who is way out of my league, but adores me. She is 27, I'm 46. This is the best relationship I have ever been in. Believe me, Dating over 40 is pretty sweet.

ith all that said, is it really possible for me as a 40 year old man (or any man in their 40s) to meet a decent looking kind woman anymore or am I pretty much done for?
If you’re attractive, have money and in shape you can have anything

At 22 she married a 41 year old? How long did you two date before getting married?

Try an activity. I know a guy who met the love of his life volunteering at an animal shelter. After they got married, they adopted a dog to celebrate.

Pretty hard if you go to the OT for dating advice.

I'm having the time of my life dating at almost 50
Same here. Almost 50 and I'm average to maybe slightly above average looks wise (based on feedback from women I've dated), have a little bit of game, and above average in bed (so I've been told...lol).
He also makes a good point about not being suprised at some of the ages that show interest either. I dated someone nearly 10 years older a few years ago (incredible body for a woman in her mid 50s at the time and someone 10 years younger. It's not difficult to attract and date attractive women online but it is more of a challenge to find "the one" online because any woman who is a 7 or higher online gets an insane number of matches and messages from men online. The good news is that the vast majority of men online are clueless when it comes to messaging women online. If you have even a little bit of wit and text "game" and a a couple of decent pictures you're way ahead of most of your competition online.

We dated 10 months before getting married. The first year was a little rocky, but after that it was smooth sailing. My friends thought I was crazy, but after being around her a bit they love her.

A stable dude in his 40s with stuff going for him is quite the catch.
This is not really the case. I have personally heard MANY times from the ladies "I don't understand why you aren't taken by now?". They think there is something you are hiding if you are a nice dude with a job by this age.
Women assume you have major skeletons in your closet if you are still single by 40. Hell, I heard this in my 30's sometimes.

Those are the wrong kind of women...

You are not a woman and you don't have the proverbial wall coming in to smack the shite out of you to give you a huge dose of reality. If you are in reasonably good health and have your financial life in order you can easily pull 25-30 year old women. If you are not than hit the gym and get your financial situation right. Get off dating apps, get into hobbies, and try new things that you don't normally do. Learn to talk to women and if you are afraid of rejection than get over it cause it is going to happen.
