And another warm body does not automatically make a meaningful, enduring match, she points out. «It can be tempting to give up on over-50s dating if you have a disastrous first date,» Coulston notes. «However, ‘disastrous’ first dates do not always mean that there is no potential in a relationship forming. First dates can go poorly for a number of reasons; anxiety is a very common one.» «By the time people get to their 50s, they are usually not just older and wiser, but they are kinder, more forgiving, and more understanding,» says health and wellness coach Lynell Ross. «If you can be open to new possibilities, dating can actually be easier as you get older.»
Don’t carry your baggage to your dates
I wish you who has taken time to read this the best of luck to find someone whom is enough for us and for whom we are enough. There just are not enough quality women around to match the quality men in the 50’s age group. This might be why many men go for women younger than them – physical attraction? John Doe…….I don’t fall into the list of “most women” that you describe.
Most men cheat, feel ‘confused’ about sexuality — thanks to porn
Unfortunately I have not had luck finding a good man my age. I have been judged unfairly as well in more than one instance. I have to admit that I am guilty of scrutinizing against short men online.
I’m attractive and height/weight proportionate, look 10 yrs younger than my age, down to earth, intelligent, funny, affectionate, and loyal. I don’t judge what someone does for a living or what type of car they drive. I just want a kind man to share my life with, someone who makes me laugh, and someone who is attentive and not afraid to be chivalrous for the hopeless romantic “me”. I spend a good chunk of my life being respondible. However, I really want a relationship in which my partner is foremost my ‘girlfriend’ and she acts that way.
Invest in your dating profile
That means give and take on both sides. You accommodate my needs with caring and consideration and I accommodate yours.

Yep, even a 83 year old retired Baptist minister stated that after menopause the only thing they want is money and that they are no longer interested in the physical side. There are to many narcissists men looking for a “mommy,” to take care of them! Only good thing were 2 beautiful grown children doing very well for themselves. Just saying that there’s two sides to every story. I’ve given up on the search and resigned myself to figuring out how to live out the rest of my lfe in a meaningful way. I figure if God wants me in a relationship he will plant a man in front of me.
I think it is a mistake to limit the age of women you may choose to date. What if the perfect woman for you turns out to be 49, 50, or 51? I would look at it this way, if you meet a mature, kind woman who is interested in you, don’t focus on her age.
I can’t imagine being so selfish and demanding because I was never like that with anyone. I am the most down to earth woman you’d ever want to know. Can a person find more than one soul mate in this world? I would hope so, and yes…sex is of the upmost importance. I have to believe there are a lot of women who will not admit this, especially in a public forum. I still have my soul mate forever in my heart, but I miss the sex.
I’m just saying that back in my 30s women were more tolerant of a man’s flaws. Anonymous…….your sweeping generalizations don’t apply to me. I don’t smoke, I am not overweight, and I eat healthy.
I have found this thread very interesting. Any such a wide variety of comments. I have just passed my one year anniversary of being divorced. Not sure what the future holds or even what I want from it. My marriage was not good for the https://datingjet.org/ last several years so sadly after 26 years together there is not much to miss…the sad thing is I would have stayed and kept trying.
