| I am 49, white, tall, thin, divorced with one kid and pretty with a good job, and the only hits I get are from guys in their 20s assuming I am easy. I am looking forward a LTR. Photos are good, mostly face shots with one full length fully clothed. Am I just too old? |
| You need to ask a male friend, or a friend’s husband. |
Yup. You need some honest and critical feedback. Dh told my friend that her profile made her seem intense and difficult. She softened it and got way more hits |
| might also be the app you are using. some cater more to certain ages or hook ups more than relationships |
|
I agree you need to ask a man about this and ask for brutal honesty.
In the meantime, why not tap one of those hot 20-somethings? |
| Dating apps seem to be getting more hook up mentality men, even match, which use to be more relationship oriented. |
| What does your profile say? |
| Don’t include that you’re divorced with a kid. When I had that on my profile, I got very few hits. Instead I waited until our first date to mention it, no problems after that. |
I don’t. I even edited my kid out of the photos. |
| You need to get some male input on your profile and the photos. Head shots and one full length my look too staid. |
I am staid. I’m not looking for hookups. I am feral in bed with someone I love and trust, but that takes intimacy and time to find out. |
Do your pictures look boring? Are their any pictures showing you doing anything like hiking etc. |
| Often wonder why people "think" they are pretty. If you're pretty (and at age 49 you're "old" for most people in the dating pool, you'd know it. But, are you forgetting you are almost 50??? |
My guess is that it is the words, not the pictures. What does it say, OP? |
|
NP: I assume there maybe something in the pics that is making guys swipe. I think minimum info is best with a few great pics, certainly no pics of kids. Then they might read the profile. |
