I don’t find this sad. Why do you find it sad if it’s not something you want, OP?

When my grandfather passed away at 60 my grandmother stayed single for 30 years. She just didn’t enjoy dating and pursued her own dreams; she earned a phd, travelled the world, wrote a book. It wasn’t until she was 90 that she felt the desire for romantic companionship and began dating a younger (86) man.

Only true if they have kids.


Nope, same for women w/o kids, though perhaps even more common for women with kids.


Ergo, this is why men in their fifties are often looking to date younger women.

Biologically speaking, there's really no reason why you should want to find a partner. I wouldn't worry about it, just go out there and do things you like to do with whoever.

I am early 40s. I am divorced with kids. I am not seeking a life partner. I am not that interested dating. Sometimes, yes but mostly no. I have a toy if I feel like taking care of needs. I had such an unfulfilling and no-relationship marriage that I turned off my libido for a good 8 years. Men generally are just not worth my time. There are some decent ones out there but I am beyond the point in which I want to make any sacrifices for any man again. No thanks.

I think that is really normal for 55.

No, it's not sad. I am a 51 year old woman who loves sex but dislike dating. I focus on what I like.

I’m 55 year young female, who is totally over the dating game and sex, and have zero desire to ever do either again. What the heck is my issue? I did go through menopause…….maybe that destroyed my desire? I did the online dAting thing……nothing but trouble and disappointment there. But, I’ve lost my desire to even have a life partner. I’m over it. Which I think is sad.

Anyone else go through this phase?
