[quote=Anonymous]I am a divorced man 45. I am not on OLD because I am done with dating for ever. I tried my best in my marriage and still got dumped. And yes I am broke. My income and wealth are okay and I am thankful but I am paying child support and spousal support. My ex wife easily got back on the dating scene and is "thriving" (per her words) in the dating scene. Despite our progress some gender norms still persist. Namely it is still totally okay for men to take the lion share of the expenses in the early phases of dating because we are the ones who must pursue women and not the other way around. I am choosing not to date because financially I just don't have anything to bring. And I do not want any potential date to ponder how she will navigate dating a "broke" buy like me. I may be wrong, but I feel like it takes money to impress women today. But I am happy single. I never realized how exhausting dealing with my ex wife was. For awhile I thought I was the issue given her relentless complaints about me....[/quote]
