I could see myself dating him but the circumstances weren’t right. Now and then someone like that may strike your fancy but generally not having a great difference in age is probably a good idea. So, where are the 50 something women I seek. I have gone to the philharmonic, cooking stores to get that special implement, the library, long walks. I do see them from afar, but they are rarely alone.
Divorce is a major factor.
That makes it more difficult to get to know people. Best things about being 50… I have less patience for wasting time in misery! Dealing with dating in my 50s feels like another huge challenge, but there are YOUNGER MEN too Jajajaja. But I am still holding out for the right situation for me, probably similar age or older. And I still have a very healthy interest.
Most women my age are not sexually attractive, youth, excitability and plump skin is sexy. Hi Greg….Kudos to you for even attempting to date women closer to your age. I’d say that most men your age actually prefer women 20 years younger, so it’s refreshing to know that there’s still a “few” of you out there who doesn’t base your interest in women solely on their age. Well let me say one thing eye candy can be your age. And I don’t date much because I don’t want a younger man. And this may come as a shock but you do have many beautiful women yr age who could make yr heart skip a beat.

Once you’re in a relationship with someone, don’t be shy about revealing why your past relationships didn’t go the distance. Even if you’ve always had a particular type, don’t be afraid to try something new when you’re back on the dating scene over 50. Just because you’ve only dated white collar professionals doesn’t mean you won’t have just as much fun with someone working in a trade. And when it comes to physical appearance, dating someone who doesn’t look like your exes can be an exciting adventure in its own right.
But my former partner could never tell me what she needed and would just break out in rages periodically. This tended to make me guarded and somewhat timid. I saw her recently and we worked together quite well. I think it helps that I no longer care as much about what she thinks beyond common courtesy. I love my boyfriend, he he loves me, but our fate is yet to be determined.
But right now you have to live in the present. I think it is a mistake to limit the age of women you may choose to date. What if the perfect woman for you turns out to be 49, 50, or 51?
Feminism unfortunately is everywhere today as well. Stumbled on this site after Googling “men dating after 50 years of age”. Interesting reading the posts and replies. I am 55, single, and looking for a lady to date and hopefully become a permanent partner. I am very fit, work out regularly, and still desire love, affection, and great sex despite my age!! Ladies, please don’t always assume that most guys over 50 have inadequacies regarding their ability to perform.
I feel generalization is never accurate. Don’t know where the stats are from but I have to disagree with the stats. Was married for 32 years to same man for 35 years total. He died 4 years again and I thought I would never have sex again and believe you have to use it or lose it. Dating a younger man because mostly older men want to date because I am still very young looking and in good shape.
Curious outsiders are quick to judge when they can see a wide age gap between two romantic partners. Maybe this is why the rule is so appealing. In a world in which many social norms are often unspoken, the half-your-age-plus-7 lespark rule concretely defines a boundary. If his working days are behind him and you’re still focused on a job and all the ambitions, woes, and time demands that come with it, you may struggle to connect at the end of the day.

It took being told by two men that I wasn’t letting them be a man before the bell went off and I realized I was doing something wrong that was pushing men away. There is no doubt about it, without the right skill set and support in place, dating can be hard. Having been spoon fed on fairy tales as a little girl can jade you to who a great guy might be- often giving you unrealistic expectations of who “Quality Men” really are.
