LOL, just keep going with your whole “I’m from Manhattan and DC is just SO conservative” vibe and you’ll do great.

Younger guys don't want or date women above 40.

I am 43 and have gained some weight recently (above 190 +lbs) and have two older kids, 25 and 21 from a previous relationship that are out of home. I am good looking but have some medical issues as well. I am nurse and don't make much. Trying to get into the online dating soon and not sure how I see my prospects for a serious relationships. What are my chances?

I’m not really one for meeting men at bars and I don’t want to date online if I can avoid it.
Where do the straight, successful, not already married, not crazy men hang out?
At age 40, it will be tough for a female unless willing to date older, divorced men. OP, you might be better off moving to South Florida.

Men do outnumber women here, and in this age bracket, men with secure attachment style tend to already be in relationships.
In addition, as an atheist, I would be interested in agnostic/atheist/non-religious men, so that also diminishes the pool.
Dating in DC (in the context of co-building a serious relationship, not the let’s fun short-term context) has been challenging in this age bracket.

Why is dating challenging in DC? Since according to you the complex human body created itself, shouldn’t you be able to find a long term partner extremely easily?
Aha! You are triggered by the atheist statement! This thread is about dating and all the possible dating pool that reflects the diversity of our intellectual existence- Let’s keep the conversation relevant on topic.
Let’s keep it on topic since the atheist cannot answer a simple question.

“Let’s keep the conversation relevant on topic.”
That is not a rule.
Btw, why on earth would you nice to dc now. Ir wasn’t great to begin with and you need to read and learn more about what is happening to the region now. At least try so you come in eyes open. Ask AI at least or get a digest
this topic will not be a primary concern

Work, the gym, volunteer/sports leagues. These are all places you can find men.
Op sounds delusional or could be dating out of her league. Unless she changes her mindset, she could end up being single for rest of her life.
