I haven't found it fun in my 50s. I foolishly thought men in their 50s would have sewn their wild oats and be settled but I have found guys acting like 20 or 30 year olds because of the mid life crisis crap. Very frustrating so I gave up and threw in the towel.

Aww thanks. Been so busy with work, lots of court time, and becoming the second in command for my Navy League cadets. Also so many things to do around the house and soon my garden. Not much time for socializing these days.

I'm getting too old for the dating games.
What I find IRL and online is that a whole lot of people personify themselves as something else. Expectations are so specific nobody can qualify.

Expectations is a thing which really ruings relations. People expect something from each other and of course can't fullfil them which causes disappointment. Better first to learn to perceive people as they are... never too late :))))

Agreed.

You can't do that online.

Try reading a story or poem where all the adjectives are redacted and someone pencils in their own. That is Online Dating.

The only time you can read the redaction is in person, face to face. Even then, people are not always what they appear to be. To perceive people as they are you have to first observe them in their natural state. Many people wear two-faces and act according to who they are with or what they want to get out of the situation. Dating is trying to find out who the real person is and if it matches your perceived impression.

Narf! I had to laugh.

Seriously tho, I am not against having other men as friends. Just not for intimate friends if ya know what I mean.

I'm a friendly soul. People are all different. We gain different things from different people. Things that make us who we are.

My masculinity is not threatened by male friendship.

Can't say I've been at this internet dating long enough to be relaxed about it. Kind of feels like being a pimply faced kid again. Whats wrong and whats' right about it for you guys and gals?embarassed
. Hard to get to know men online, must meet in person for a real date, eye to eye! I've met 8 in person most were miles away!!!

Relationships like anything else require commitment and effort. Short distance long distance. Both have challenges.
Visiting someone periodically even if you Skype daily is like a mini vacation.
Reality is living in the other persons day to day shoes to see if they fit.

I agree, Salsa. Relationships require commitment and effort between two people to make it work.

Nice to see you posting, Salsa waving

Well I just turned 55 a week ago and haven't had a date yet....but I imagine it will still be fun. I don't see why not, you can have fun at any age.

Agree. But broken heart in 58 is a terrible experience. I've done it since 1 months ago....

the stats say it all,and im online datings biggest sceptic

access to 3 million online singletons 24/7

of which 40% are successful online dating matches

of course these stats are conservative concerning

recently updated stats.

my personal take on this is

when you can video/message face to face etc

instead of the present method.that said its still a minefield
out there as one member on here remarked.

cheers

Are you kidding ??...At my age I'M HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE.
That's my strategy ..blushing

I like so much my doctor, but she has such a busy life
and I find it very hard to catch up with her when I miss her.

So, at my age, my fun way to encounter her again and again,
is, ..I tell my dates that I ALWAYS LOVE TO HAVE WILD SEX .
Then, I recommend them to my doc...Even give them her business card to.

The outcome of all this 4 me is, exactly how I EXPECT IT.
I AM HAVING SO MUCH FUN, and GET IT MY WAY even when Over 65
whoa

hahaha...interesting posts...i have taken no survey so can only speak for me...not my first rodeo...enough miles to know the difference between an itch for sex or for love...have scratched both at different times...and still enjoy dancing with the devil...have had no roadblocks with dating exact those i manufacture...and with millions of women on this planet, selection has not been looking for a desert oasis.

online dating is a used car lot

shine em up all ya want

but we all got a few dings and miles on us
This reminded me of these song lyrics:
"So you been broken and you been hurt
Show me soomebody who ain't
Yeah I know I ain't nobody's bargain
But hell a little touchup
And a little paint..."

First one to post the song title and artist wins . . . I dunno. shades
