I’m 50 divorced, dad bod, balding, two little kids 50/50. Yes my job title indicates good money and education. But clearly not a billionaire.
I signed up for hinge and paid for one week. Swiped right on attractive 30-42 young, white, professional women. not overweight.
single or divorced, kids or no kids is fine with me.
I only swipe on women attractive to me. I was married to a model for 15yr so have pretty high standards
I got 70+ matches within 30miles of Tyson’s corner. Granted none of the 70 matches are modelesque but they all meet my basic minimum attractiveness criteria
Have 7 dates set up for this week and about a dozen other conversations going on
In previous online dating iterations I was pretty much the one to reject my dates after date one or two as I didn’t feel it
Who said guys don’t have a chance. Don’t let the DCUM crowd of older mostly unattractive women depress you guys
Secret to my success I will admit I had my friend take some really nice and interesting pics of me. Interesting being the key word. I’m definitely not what people would call classically attractive like I said balding dad bod haha

Depends. They might be having flings they aren’t telling you about. The more serious ones who go in for longer or who they are willing to bring to events etc. might be the ones who are closer to their age.

Yes, they do, particular if they are empty nesters.
It’s in fact much better for me at 46 than what it was at 24. Both in terms of the men’s quality and what they are looking for in long term relationships
I’m 46, my dating range for men is 42-59 so far. All for LTR never did flings . I had 2 serious relationships post divorce (at 42), both men were talking marriage. They were 1 year younger and 7 years older from my age, respectively.

Most good men in their forties who are single will be divorced and have kids who are still at home. They are both busy and if they are out there, they are generally looking for a real relationship. They quickly find that there are lots of women in their 30s who are marriage minded. Maybe they want kids. Maybe they don't. Maybe they're fine with assuming a stepmom role. But in any event, there are a lot of relationship-minded younger women out there. That's probably what good men in their 40s are going to gravitate towards when it comes to relationships. Of course for flings women in their 40s will have no shortage of options. But for real relationships, they will more likely be looking toward men in their 50s with kids who are already grown and out of the house. Or they get involved with men a decade younger, but that almost never works over the long term if she doesn't want children. 40 something is a complicated age.
