Dating prospects for divorced 50 yo female

[Anonymous]

I’m in the process of separating and will be 50 when the divorce is final. Was married for 25 years and have one kid in college and another about to graduate. I hadn’t thought much about dating but probably should. I’m 5’7 120 lbs attractive, but let’s face it, I’m middle aged. I have a well established career that pays very well. I would want to spend time with someone who is laid back and doesn’t get stressed out and is not into games. Attractive, reasonably well off and within 10 years of my age. Are my expectations realistic at this stage in life?

Yes. You sound pretty great.

Be super careful about getting married at this stage in life. Companionship is great but you could really mess up your future by legally combining your life with someone else.

I am 42 and wouldn’t have a problem with any of that.

That’s a good point. I’m actually not thinking of marriage at all at. Just dating. And even then I’m not in a hurry. I was just wondering if I’m being realistic about my prospects.

At that stage, you’re probably better off with the unmedicated late 50s/early 60s cohort for libido compatibility.

You would have no problems finding potential partners as there are men who don’t want to be encumbered as well. The next questions are what is the best app to use and basic must haves.

I'm a late 50s divorced dad. Right now I am dating 3 women (hope to add one more). All three are attractive, are moms, their ages are 48-54, and I have things in common with each one. Guess which one I will end up in a relationship with? The woman who is best in bed.

This is me too! Except I am a little taller than you.

You should do just fine! Guess what? Men are middle age as well and feel the same as you. If you are attractive and financially independent you will gain a lot of interest and you can afford to be choosy. Wait until you are at least legally separated before you venture out and until you are divorced some men will not have an interest.

That’s good advice. Thanks to you and to everyone who has posted. Even the libido guy and the guy who will pick the woman who is best in bed. All of these comments help to understand what’s out there.
