I am a female and had mine at 34 and 37. I was ready to have another, too, at 39, but hubby was trying to change jobs and it seemed risky financially. Now, I wish I had had that third one. Both of my kids are very smart, healthy and wonderful people. No regrets on having them.
For you, I think you should consider getting yourself in the best physical shape that you can (if not already), splurge on yourself and hire a good personal trainer and nutritionist, get shredded, get some new, better fitting clothes, go lay in the sun and tan a bit, do some teeth whitening, go get a pedicure and a massage and a high-end haircut and beard shave. Stand up straighter.
Have someone help you take some nice photos of yourself to put on a few decent dating sites and say this: "Ready to be a dad," "Nice ladies with kids who need a solid husband and willing dad candidate, swipe right" or something like this. Lots of single or divorced younger or mid-30's women with children need a good man, but find on the dating sites most won't even date a woman who already has kids. You are not that guy. You are perfect for this. You are not too old to sire your own, too, with that same woman if you decide to.
Thanks for the input and advice, but there's probably not much hope for me in terms of self improvement because I'm not tall, in fact kind of short, and there's no amount of improvement that can fix that. Also, I wouldn't go for someone divorced with kids because I wouldn't want to raise kids that weren't my own and a divorce is a strong indication that the woman cannot make a relationship work.
Ok. I don't know you, but I think you've counted yourself out unnecessarily. There are plenty of petite women, especially of certain ethnicities who might be perfectly happy with your height and be glad you are not a stunner, as they've had that and they don't want the narcissism that sometimes comes with it. Just don't be too harsh on yourself. Just be kind, interested and open when meeting women when out and about and let them do the deciding. Just keep your eyes peeled for opportunities.
