When you say they’re “insincere”, are you saying they are claiming to be someone they are not? If so please report the members concerned so we can take action. Every “older” man I’ve communicated with on this site has been insincere.

Equally important are respect, tenderness and moral strength. 55AliveGuy…….Your post has certainly been enlightening, along with those of several other men here. I am sorry you’ve had such negative experiences. Women in their 50s don’t want to work, they don’t want a man to work full time plus if at all , they don’t want to deal with his children, all they want to do is be pampered and travel. At least in Southern California, women in their 50s with some education and any remaining health and attractiveness only seek men who are retired millionaires. I never thought I would be doing this but I am and I am not about to be a male spinster.
I only signed up for Stitch because there was a segment on the news for folks 55 and older to meet. It definetly resonates with me and friends who are boomer babies and seniors. It won’t surprise you, of course, to discover that most of today’s online dating services are designed around chatting with potential matches online before things get serious enough for a phone call. One thing we have been struck with has been the important role that dinner plays in the social (or not-so-social) lives of most older adults. Nobody likes the idea of spending years cooking for themselves and eating alone. And always being the lone single person when your married friends want to catch up for dinner starts to become a little tiresome.
Even that is a little too short for me coming from being married to an over 6′ man. I am more conscience of that fact when I shop for shoes, I settle for lower heels. I like to reach up on my tiptoes to kiss a guy.
I just don’t have the energy anymore to deal with trying to get out there and flaunt myself. Dating sites contain a lot of liars and creepy people of both genders. Where is a genuine, kind, affectionate person with values supposed to go for a chance at finding a life partner?
Flirting, compliments and waiting for sex: 6 rules for dating after 50
Read all of the posts and one thing is clear im not alone,which is reassuring..Male mid fifties 5′ 6″ reasonably fit @ 158lbs & 20% body fat.. I just stumbled across this forum and it appears from the # of comments, this issue has struck a nerve. As a 50-something man, I disagree completely with the article’s premise.
My regards to all and success in your search. Every time I have thought about online dating or the like I have backed away because I do not have the confidence to progress it. On-line dating for Seniors is very hard. But from what I’ve heard, younger Adults also seem to deal with these same responses. THanks to my love for exercise in all forms I have managed to stay quite fit and my age has not restricted my activities of daily living.

And going out and finding love again has become very extremely difficult for me since it isn’t easy at all nowadays. It seems, Andrew, that Stitch is catering to older women who are looking for younger men. And, I see a lot of that on the dating sites I am on. Many older women looking for younger men – but reality is that most men are not looking for older women.
They seem bitter that they’re alone and, to a certain degree, take it out on prospective partners. Of course attraction, chemistry, etc. is important. I agree that physical compatibility is necessary https://hookupinsiders.com/ for a lasting relationship. Now What – Studies have shown that once a man hits age 35 or so, for the rest of his life he subconsciously envisions himself about 15 years younger than he really is.
Times really have changed, haven’t they? I don’t understand these many self-centered women that you speak of. 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.
However, I really want a relationship in which my partner is foremost my ‘girlfriend’ and she acts that way. But she wants to hold hands, smooch in the movie theatre and never turns some opportunity because ‘its late and I have to get up in the morning’. You’re raising a boy like a girl, and it might not work out the way you’d like in the end. I have a feeling that no girl is going to be good enough for that poor kid and you’re going to ruin his love life.
I am confident that my soul mate is out there. Someone who will appreciate what my age and wisdom brings to the partnership. I am happier than I have ever been and what I truly have learned is that I don’t need a man to make me complete.
