I just turned 50 and although I have no problems getting dates , I have been single for a very long time. I find I am too scared of getting hurt. I almost dated a doctor 6 yrs older than myself but thought it likely that he would end up hurting me because he was attractive, had options, and did not want to marry again. When I join dating sites, I talk to men on the phone and most of the time, do not feel enough of a connection to make me want to talk to them again. When I like someone, I like them too much that its scary ….
At least there are women over 50 who are honest in the descriptions and make it very clear that they are no longer interested in sex. Im 54 and I am on a couple of dating sites. I post just my profile picture, username, age and city and that is it! I get 25 to 30 messages a day from different woman and an average of 45 – 50 that have viewed my profile.
That’s why a 60-yr-old man in great shape will want – and feel perfectly normal around – a mid to late 40-something woman. Well, it seems to be a total nightmare for both sides, judging from the comments I’d read here. I am in excellent shape physically – gym, swimming, mtb, hockey, etc. at 58. No signs of trouble down under datingranking either. I just find women close to my age too granma-like – the way they dress, the way they think, their interests, etc. – I still enjoy hikes in high mountains, downhill skiing, ocean swimming, working out. My ex did some of it with me for the first 10 years of marriage, but it was clearly a chore for her, not enjoyment.
And I realize you guys are being treated unfairly to pay for what some jerk did to a woman. People aren’t honest and kind anymore to each other. The lack of effort on their part has to be seen to be believed.
How to Date an Older Woman as a Younger Man
I’m 26 and he is soon to be 61 but damn my man is fine. Not only is he super smart, he is amazing in bed, he happens to be my best friend and mentor. He’s also in great shape, much better shape than me actually. We both have a past and have agreed to respect each other’s pasts.
While people may die at any age, there is more likelihood that someone 70 has less active life left than a person 55 and that could be important for people looking for long term relationships. Who wants to be left on their own when they are older because their partner died much earlier if it can be avoided to some extent. I think an indication of the age of the person is still important for us mature adults.
Because my ex was the only man in my life after my father. Financially stable, 2 lovely big kids, married and unmarried. I do a meetup group and because of the type of meetup I do it tends to attract younger adults than myself. Some people are my age but they don’t tend to be the regulars. From what I have found with the men in my group 40 and below is they really just want to have a conversation where there is no drama and judging.

I make sure they get theirs no matter what. I’m completely clueless to what I’m doing wrong. Stumbled on this site after Googling “men dating after 50 years of age”. Interesting reading the posts and replies.
Maybe you think it is easy for women to find a good man but my luck has been terrible. I am attractive with a nice figure, funny, smart, and affectionate. I don’t need a man for money or status, nor do I want a man years younger than I am. I work with the public and I dress and conduct myself professionally.
Madonna confirms she’s dating man 35 years younger than her
I am finally taking time for me…not the husband or child, who’s now 20 and on her own. I am 52 and find it scary to even think about dating again. Reading some of these stories shows me that it will be hard at this age. Hell, I haven’t been on a date in 27 years, but hopefully I will know when it’s the right time. I still believe in love and I believe you can find true love more than once.
Baby Time May Be Over
Even then, what we always ran into was the selfishness, or lack of desire to be better than yesterday. Most women start gaining weight, and then want to guilt or shame you for wanting to be fit healthy and be with someone fit and healthy. A lot of women nowadays that aren’t friendly at all, and not to mention that many of them do have some kind of a mental illness to begin with. I am far from desperate, I am not materialistic, and I can hold an intelligent conversation. I am attractive and height/weight proportionate.
