| Am though a divorce after a long sexless and abusive marriage and lord, I miss sex so much. Just reading “the heat of the moment” in the other thread makes me wistful. So ready for a partner I trust. |
Is that a requirement for sex? |
Why settle for less. |
| ^ don't know maybe 'cause beggers cant be choosy? |
| I will speak for Original poster. Of course you need a partner that you trust. Not trust with your emotuons or kids or your money. But trust enough that they won't slash or beat or harm you. |
| Get on the apps! There are so many people out there looking for the same thing you are. |
55 y.o. male here. Just also left a long and abusive marriage. My exW was NPD diagnosed. COVID cut off most of the regular avenues I had for my social life and meeting people, and I went on three apps: Tinder; Bumble and Happn. The problem I have now is there are way too many interested women out there - divorced or single - in my age range - say 45 - 60 - who respond to my profile that it's literally like I have a "binder full of women." I am at no loss for getting a date if I want one. I did develop a short and intense relationship with a lovely woman that I would've liked to develop further, but she decided she had other priorities so we "broke up" but are friends. And that's a good side of this too: I've a met a few women where there was no spark on the romantic end but we liked each other enough to be friends and hand out. It's been fun. No need to feel lonely. |
Something tells me the experience of a 55 yo man will be unlike the ex of a 50 yo woman. Just a hunch, hope I’m wrong. |
As a 53 y.o. man, I suspect you're correct. |
Yes, the 50 year old woman will get a lot more matches! |
Next step is to take a few of those that you have a connection with and develop a roster of FWBs. That way, you never have a drought. |
|
Absolutely not! Men in their 50s get multiples more matches on dating sites. Easy reason, they are drawing from pretty much the entire 30+ women pool. Women over 50 pretty much draw from the over 60 men and men under 40 who think they're desperate for a one night stand. |
| ^OP and this has been exactly my experience. People contacting me are total losers and of all the people I’ve likes age range 45-60 only one has liked me back. |
| Sex does not require emotions. Sex can be just that - sex. Physical enjoyment. |
