With that said, I’d still prefer to date someone around my age. I tried to get to know someone who was 40 when I was 49, and his immaturity blew me away. I am hoping that someone around my age will have at least some of the same things in common. Of course attraction, chemistry, etc. is important. I agree that physical compatibility is necessary for a lasting relationship. Mark……that may be true overall, but there are still a few of us women out there who value a man for who he truly is.
It’s the closest thing to heaven we will ever have on earth, beating out by far our feelings after the 197th Yoga class, buying the new sportscar, or getting the degree at 47. When you are close to someone you love with your entire heart and soul you aren’t even thinking about all the non-essential stuff in life, and most things are indeed non-essential. The world has changed and so many are self-centered and materialistic.

I just don’t understand this way of thinking. I am 50 and I want someone around my age as a loving companion and partner. I don’t know what we’d have in common, nevermind the difference in maturity level. My last relationship was with a man who had a heart condition and wasn’t rich. He was kind, respectful, and generous with what he did have.
That “yet” comes from having my three children still living in the family home with me. The eldest with her boyfriend of 11 years. I also have an “adopted” daughter living with us although her stay is only temporary and sadly ends very soon, although I suspect she may return again in the not too distant future, perhaps with a partner? To be fair, the middle child is currently trialing living together with the girl who might be “the one”. From time to time they join us for dinners or game nights or just to watch a movie. I view my job at this stage, being to help my three kids save for their first houses.
Dating in your 50’s – Easy for Men… Not so much for Women!
It’s very unfortunate that this is the case with a lot of men our age….they are afraid to get burned again. I have never lied about loving a man and I don’t understand how anyone could be so cruel. Honesty is paramount for any meaningful relationship….and I can honestly say that there are still kind hearted and loving women out there like me who can’t find a great guy like you. I hope I am not alone the rest of my life.
You accommodate my needs with caring and consideration and I accommodate yours. Personally I’m good looking, physically fit and financially secure … and date near my age, 50s. Dating young makes no sense at all. I really don’t think it’s rocket science. What it is is just being a decent, unselfish, and thoughtful human being.
I am a school teacher for goodness sake and will barely have enough to survive. Why wouldn’t any woman do what she did?? Sick of husband, lets move on, not getting any younger, show me the money. My wife is not dumb, 4K in her pocket. Let’s analyze and not hide these facts please.
Women over 50 are as beautiful as ever. Natural hormones simply change and there is nothing wrong with that. Its just that many men over 50 still like sex – maybe even daily.
And yes, waking up to a kind partner in the morning would be absolute heaven to me. As young people, we are fed a line of BS that says that there will always be time, we can enjoy ‘golden years’ together playing shuffleboard and bingo with our friends. If you think I’m exaggerating, go to an amusement park with an eight year old and tell me how you feel at the end of the day. It is unfortunate that it is hard to find the genuine, considerate men like you in every day interactions. The last few men I have dealt with just disappeared.
They treat me like they have found the holy grail, tell me as much, call me McSteamy, and are throwing all kinds of sexual energy my way. For most guys who like to feel like the sh#t , it is tempting, you get swept into it, and makes it hard to look at women my own age or older. I figured I was still young enough, had a great job, was fit, healthy, not bad looking and might be able to find someone. I focussed mainly on the profiles of the women on the sites and was only really interested in women from their late thirties through to mid to late forties. I didn’t want someone who wanted more children, and I also didn’t want someone who only wanted me for my money or job status.
You are exactly what I am looking for…..down to earth, sensible, respectful, and looking to have something special with someone. I’m being kind because you stand apart from most of the guys I’ve seen and heard about. When https://datingranking.org/ women say “details of my divorce aren’t really important,” it means she cheated on her husband. Don’t paint older women with a broad brush. I’d be more than happy to pay my way and so would a lot of other older gals.
I had never felt that, I stay fit, cycle, hike, and don’t weight much more than what I weighed at 21. I could keep up with her in most things. We had hours long discussions for years before getting married, about the age difference, and she always maintained it would never bother her and we would grow old together, no matter what. Tom – “…75% of husbands in 65% of RS are no good, an unlikely number.” You are correct it’s unlikely. In fact, I recall reading a large study where many women who initiated a divorce at age 50 or shortly thereafter stated that there was nothing really wrong with their ex-husbands.
I am 52 and find it scary to even think about dating again. Reading some of these stories shows me that it will be hard at this age. Hell, I haven’t been on a date in 27 years, but hopefully I will know when it’s the right time. I still believe in love and I believe you can find true love more than once.
I have not been able to get date with someone for over 3 months. I am single, how about you and I go out on a date. I do not understand why women refuse to go out with me. I used go to Office Christmas functions.
