Guys get super jealous of the time you spend with you adult children. Every misstep your child makes, they will let you know they’d never parent that way, or your parenting caused it. They will say you spoil them, etc and try to poison your relationship with them out of jealousy.

I’m a divorced dad and I have no issue with my SO spending time with her kids. I spend time with my own, after all. I couldn’t care less about her parenting. Maybe I’d care if she wanted to move her kids in with me but that’s not gonna happen.

What do you mean in with you, don’t you mean in with her.

Her kids can’t move gone if needed? 😳

OP, I'm also a 50 yo female, divorcing, career, kids ect...do you really WANT to date? I'm not interested-last thing I need is another grumpy whiny old man to deal with.

I want to live MY life, doing what I want, hopefully retiring and being a grandma at some point...there is nothing a man can offer my life.

My advice is, don't bother with them LOL

Right, and that phrase (the odds are good but the goods are odd” is not in any way a pun, no word in it is played on for multiple meanings.

I’m dating a woman whose kids are still living in her house. They’re not moving in with me, I’m not moving in with them. Maintain separate homes, happy to do so, nobody has to care about anyone else’s parenting.

Wow okay, well what I am aspiring to, I think, is to have a like-minded adult person in my life to share life’s moments with. I mean, it’s not a necessity like air and water, but it would make life that much sweeter. With the right person of course. It might not happen that way but I figure it’s worth it to try.

I’m in a similar situation to OP, though am divorced now. Have be very reluctant to try dating apps but friends finally convinced me. Someone suggested Hinge…is that a ‘good’ one? Others? Can’t believe about to try this 25+ years since the last time I dated!

I don’t have any insight yet into apps. A poster named Steve included his DM in an earlier post in the thread. Not for me bc I’m not divorced yet but maybe a possibility for you or others? There’s also an excellent post in this thread on safety protocols if you do online dating.

Same people are on every single app.

I’m 56 and divorced eight years and being middle age is no problem if you are attractive and fit which I believe I am. I’m an empty nester and financially very independent and I have no need for a man to take care of me but I really enjoy men. Over the eight years I’ve probably been on dates with 40 men and had very nice relationships with 10 of them. That’s eight more than I had the rest of my life so that’s been quite an experience. I’m not looking for a LTR but if it happened I’d go for it but on my terms

Or maybe they will drop you? What makes you think they will think you are good in bed?

I’m 42, still married but would not be surprised if I was divorcing once my kids are in college. I would not be interested in dating either! I would want to travel, be with friends and family and have no egos to calm down.

Because I'm fantastic in bed. It's one of the things I'm really good at.
