So let’s say 15-20 years ago it would take months of dating a chick to even think about sex?


He must've been dating the wrong kind of chicks

I met my girlfriend on Bumble a year and a half ago. We began talking and after a while became Facebook friends. Turned out we knew a lot of the same people so I knew she was legit. Best thing that has happened to me since my son being born.

There's a lot of truth to that. I'm in my late 20's. As soon as I started telling girls on dating apps I was buying a house, it's like I jumped up 3 points.

There are apps for Catholics or other church centered people, as well as apps for a cost that should screen somewhat. It’s a numbers game. FaceTime early. Coffee first. Good ones are out there.

It's really easy. Women in their 30's are very aggressive. Just go places women hang out, shoot your shot.

If you're in your late 30s to early 40s helps to have your shite together, confidence, and a sense of humor. I went through a phase where I was dating women in their late 20s a couple of years ago. Maybe one out of them was pretty mature, the rest not so much.

Nowadays I've been just dating rather than doing the relationship thing. Bumble and Tinder are like shooting fish in a barrel. Facebook dating is marginally better than POF but you'll find someone. Although I did meet this one woman who came over the following night we started talking, then was saying she was moving back home to some town around Lafayette and asked if I was interested in moving closer to her.

Early 30s? If so you can still find someone in their mid to late 20s that doesn't have any baggage. On the other hand, you can't limit yourself to women with no baggage. You could find someone you really like who has baggage.

Baggage is better than drama. Do you want someone who always has drama in their life?

Don't buy into the idea that church is the best place to find a good woman. Maybe when you are in high school or college, but a lot of women heavily involved in church are looking to get married and start a family as soon as they graduate HS (some right after college) and if they are single and in their 30s and involved heavily in church, they probably have baggage (they did some shite that at some point in their life made them feel like they needed to find Jesus).

With Covid an all, a dating app might be your best bet. Get a good profile picture. One of you being "silly", lots of color.. It catches the eye.

When yall start communicating start off with asking questions about them. About their job, family, friends... or whatever they are passionate about. Don't try too hard, you will look desperate.

I'm 54. I haven't been on a date since I was 23. I have crazy high standards and have no idea how to even start. Long term? Short term? Meh. It's amazing how unimportant it is to me and how unmotivated I am to find someone. I think I may just run out the clock. I've got other productive shite to do.

Every woman is different. There are a lot of really good ones out there. An example oh how different we are is I’m not a shopaholic and have never spent a man’s money buying myself anything or to pay my bills. I’ve earned every penny myself. Dating apps can be great. You get what you pay for with them. I found my two best and longest relationships on Match.Com. I know people who married great people after meeting online.

if a girl doesn't have kids or isn't divorced and is a IRL 8.5/10 get ready cuz she has some serious issues.


My best friend was dating this gorgeous mexican woman a couple years back. I believe she was 33. No kids, never been married. I've never met a mexican woman over 30 without kids I asked him, "are you sure about this?" Lo and behold, she turned into a complete psycho when he made her his GF.

The "baggage" comments in here are funny. Everyone has baggage, you just have to decide which baggage you're okay with and which you're not, or which girl is worth the baggage she carries and which girl is not. Lot of single girls in their 30's are going to be divorced. A psycho ex-husband is baggage I wouldn't want to deal with, especially if kids are involved. Kids are baggage, but for the right girl they wouldn't bother me. Drug addict sibling? Can be baggage. Mom or dad in poor health? Yep, that's going to be some heavy emotional baggage. Needy or trashy friends? Demanding job? Poor credit?

The list goes on and on.

I think this would be me too if I ever found myself single again. I wouldn't worry about meeting anyone and if it happened that would be fine as well.

I’ve had more sex since my divorce (6 years) than I did before marriage (22 years old) and during my 15 year marriage.

Never used a dating app

Oh I def want to meet someone again and get into a serious relationship and possibly marriage again one day. While I know I can certainly survive and take care of myself just fine on my own(have a good paying steady job, retirement all set up nicely, good credit)....I do really want to find love again one day.

And in the meantime, enjoy yourself. Go do all the things you’ve wanted to do but couldn’t (for whatever reason) with your ex. IMO that was my biggest point of growth between relationships.

Yeah I’m just getting to a point where I actually want to decorate my apartment (it’s been blank walls). I have to figure out what I actually like now. And not what I like that I know he would also like.

I can make it as girly as I wish(not that I’m super girly but you know what I mean)
