Middle aged dating is trash!

[Anonymous]

I’m just here to vent. Newly divorced and I don’t know what’s worst my Helier marriage or what the dating scene has morphed into since I was last on the market. It seems in middle age there are so many left over duds one has to sift through, and it’s exhausting. As soon as I think it’s going somewhere with someone….bam….their horrible characteristic shows itself and I’m made keenly aware why they are single at 50. My latest shit show was a man a man who shared he believes once a girl has her period she is old enough to consent to sex with a grown man, because God gave her a period for a reason. How very awesome and classy.

It is clearly you.

I have met a number of terrific people while dating.

You are scaring us that are thinking about ending our marriages.

Well, what did you expect?? These single old guys have been thrown back by their wives not because they have redeeming qualities. They are defective. Stay single, join a book club, get a toy for a boyfriend.

Unless these old men are widows, they are damaged goods that some other women got rid of.

I had great luck in my late 40s and met an amazing man who I married in my 50s. Not sure what sites you are using, OP, but maybe some are better than others? Or you need some help weeding out the not great guys? Enlist a friend!

Out of curiosity is he a divorcee?

From what I read, it appears online dating is a marathon, not a sprint, and that people of all ages need to wade through tons of profiles and have many imperfect dates before finding a good match.

It's worked great for me, but I don't date middle aged women.

So divorced middle age women are damaged and defective too, right?

Yes, the woman is never the problem.

Yes, of course, many of them are. Women are more likely to initiate divorce though, which leads to there being more undesirable men on the middle aged market.

Most of the women are damaged goods as well! It’s often two cars in a head on collision.

The divorces are initiated by women who wildly overestimate their value on the dating market. Thus there are at least as many undesirable middle aged women out there, if not more.
