[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got into the online dating scene as a late 40s woman. As many have posted,[b] it was easier than expected to find dates and have plenty of sex[/b]. I met a bunch of interesting and attractive (to me) men, both older and younger. I never lacked attention and dates. I had a couple of guys I dated for a few months, a couple of relationships that lasted over a year, including a 2+ years relationship with another woman ( yes, I play both teams). The two people I had longer relationships with were people I loved and would’ve liked to have a forever relationship with, but things didn’t work out. Pairing up in middle age when there are set lives, obligations, homes, kids has proved challenging for me. Both of my exes are still hovering around, interested, but I think I may have reached the point a lot of older women reach where they’re done  with making the compromises and sacrifices required to maintain a long-term relationship. After spending over 20 years putting others first, bending and compromising for husband and kids I’m not sure I’m willing to do that again. If I meet someone with whom the cost of a relationship is one that seems easy for me to pay it’ll be by serendipity because I’m definitely done with online dating.[/quote]

Honey, anyone with female organs can find sex in a heartbeat. Nothing special to report.[/quote]

I didn’t say there was anything special to report. I was echoing what others have said that there are plenty of people in the middle age dating pool for someone coming out of a long relationship in midlife.   :roll:

My point was to relay my personal experience that dating and finding sex was not the challenge. For me it was finding a lasting relationship. Others have been successful, I’m sure. I’m just adding my anecdata in response to OP’s request for others’ experience.[/quote]
