Most women in this age group still have hip sizes that are 30% larger than their waists with very little belly fat (belly fat, a.k.a. visceral fat, is unhealthy fat). My husband and I are 14 years apart. I’ve dated as far as 20 years apart.
I just found it very difficult to cope when it was an adult doing it. Now that we’ve been divorced for a year, I find it easier to say what I feel to her because I don’t care as much. I still would like to be friends but I don’t have that deep need to please her that I used to have. When I’m in a relationship, I want to please my partner. But my former partner could never tell me what she needed and would just break out in rages periodically.
The world has changed and so many are self-centered and materialistic. Being with someone special doesn’t have the sacredness it used to. It’s too easy to move on and find someone else when situations are not quite right. Not many want to put the effort into a relationship, and no relationship survives without work.
Our two sons were ok with me going off. I would not call it dating at first. Looking back, I was learning to breathe again. I’m almost 55, next month as a matter of fact.
Brilliant and I can relate so much to you. People change as they get older, couples drift apart or one wants to go one direction and the other stays put. I’m not divorced but I can tell you that is tough to keep a marriage together for 30 plus years.
Just finding a man my age I can connect with on various levels who wants a supportive, loyal, loving woman by his side to enjoy life has been impossible. I read your article twice https://reviewsforsingles.com/dating-for-seniors-review/ just to make sure I had a handle on it. Here is my dating experience since my wife tossed me to the curb in 07. I’ve been in two long term relationships that were miserable.
Dating Coach in Austin
Fifty-something guys still think they can get a woman in her 30’s, see, and they can if they have money, a house and a good lifestyle to offer, even one in her 20’s. Men in their 60’s still think they can get a chick in her early 40’s as do fit, well-off guys in their 70’s. The sooner you accept it the less soul crushing rejection and heartache you will have to endure searching for something that doesn’t exist. I am far from desperate, I am not materialistic, and I can hold an intelligent conversation. I am attractive and height/weight proportionate. I don’t have these highfallutin expectations that a lot of women 50 and over have.
Being with someone spiritual is even more icing on the cake for me because I am very spiritual myself. Sure I have scars, but they don’t stop me from moving forward and believing I can have something meaningful again with a man. Not surprising at all to this 50-something guy. This is coming from a younger woman who accidently stumbled upon this site. All older men and “charming” men should realize that women in their 20s and 30s are not looking for them for long term partnering. Not even short term in most instances.
Dating in your 50’s – Easy for Men… Not so much for Women!
None of us are perfect, and I made my mistakes too. But nothing I did or didn’t do was worth divorcing over. He wanted greener grass on the other side of the fence.
Dating expert Louanne Ward’s top tips for a successful threesome
I have money, am fitter than most and I like me. All the women I know young and old think I’m a top bloke. Its been about 4 years since my wife left me and I haven’t had even the slightest bit of interest from a single female to act on. I feel your pain Jeffery and can relate 100% to everything you wrote. Seeing the laundry list of women and men posting here, makes me wonder why dating can be a challenge.
I noticed after 65, even though I myself am VERY fit, I have a great financial picture and also a 2nd home — online dating dried up to nothing and I finally opted out. Though I would post pics of myself and the dates, that didn’t help. There are a number of men like me whom are seeking companionship.
