shite, college was easy. Some nights you just had to say hi to a girl and she'd come back to your house. Or maybe it was just my irresistible charm and gorgeous looks.


until Obama basically said half of all female college students are victims of sexual assault.

but dating is easier when you're young and all in the same place and horny.

dating in 2021


Seems easier than it was in 1991.

I’m jealous at how easy it is to hook up now compared to when I was single.

I never got to live the single life in the app age.

That’s been my experience. If they like me back, they’re either crazy or difficult home situations that I don’t have the patience for. I would date a girl with a kid, or even 2 but it makes everything so difficult. I’m not a rich man so I don’t have that going for me, but I think I’m decent looking for a 45 year old and a a good guy, but I don’t really like most of my options out there.

I’m nervous about my baggage with my family. Like is that gonna send a guy running for the hills when I actually do try and start dating??

No kids as y’all all know, but I deal with a lot with my dad and his mental illness. And help manage all medical care, appointments, etc. As well as helping out my mom and siblings at times.

Dating as an adult caregiver? Blessings to anyone who can manage that.

What age range would you be looking at?

Met my wife on OkCupid years ago. I will have to find where she is hiding her meth. I made it clear that all drugs are to be split 50/50.

Oh I don’t do daily care to my family. I maybe actually see them once a month, maybe more often if my dad has lots of appointments. I live 35-40 minutes away from them so really try to stick to boundaries and only help them with stuff they can’t manage on their own.

But when my dad has medical appointments I have to go with him. If there are issues going on I have to get involved. I’ve gotten better with maintaining boundaries though and my family has gotten much better at respecting those boundaries.

My father who is in his late 50s used POF. It was nothing but crazy women. One was on real house wives of Atlanta for a few episodes. Got off because her husband wanted a divorce while filming.

Long story short, her family is filthy rich. After a few months of dating, the woman’s parents offered them a million dollars to get married right away. I’m assuming she wanted back on the show. He said frick that and left her arse.

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


This is good advice. I’ve definitely been trying to ‘enjoy the journey’ more lately than I used to be while in search of ‘a destination’ that it seems I may not ever arrive at.

I guess 40 to 50? I’ll be 43 soon.

I have mostly dated guys a little younger than me (my ex husband 2 years younger) so don’t mind younger....but they likely would want kids.

I'd imagine most guys that are 40 and want kids probably already have them assuming they've already been married. Maybe not all but I'd guess 40 is towards the end of the new father scale.

I know my ex still wants kids and he is 40.

It does piss me off a little that my ex husband can just go date a younger woman and get to become a father like he always wanted. And I don’t have that same option.

Even after all he put me through. Not feeling the need to tell me that he was having doubts before I put my body through hell and multiple surgeries and painful procedures over 5 years trying to give him a baby. Cheating on me right after I was grieving my recent IVF failing and while I was dealing with my father being hospitalized at the time. That fricker could still get what I will never have.

Biology just sucks

I want nothing to do with a 29 year old. Sorry

When I say younger...I mean more mid to late 30s. I would really rather date someone closer to my age. But I realize many single men my age are likely aiming for the younger ones so I may have to look at men a little older when I’m ready.
