i was married for 21 years and now divorced and the dating scene has really changed. i am always myself and honest. i am not really into bars. im 6'3" 250 lbs and in good shape work out everyday. im 50 but look a young 40. just most of the women i see close to my age cant keep up with me.i guess im still young at heart and show it by all the things i like to do. i dont play games and would love to make some new friends and who knows maybe one of them might be the one. im just not use to asking a female out and havent been on a real date for 21 years.... HELP

Wish I could have some words of wisdom, but I am lousy at this dating thing myself.

Im 32, single for the last 6 years. I had one great boyfriend that broke the cardnal rule, and my heart and havent had the patience to give anyone the time of day since. Im so independant, I think people are intimidated. But I figure if a guy cant handle the fact that I can handle my own...I dont want him anyway.

Im completely okay with my independance. @ kids, work, school. I take care of mine. Im not a hot model type and I curse like sailor and have a hot temper. But Id rather be single than settle.
