I find the opposite, there's never been a better time to be a divorced man in his 30/40/50s. Women are fitter than ever, they've been sexually "liberated," they're OK with people knowing there is wine in their tumbler at the baseball game, etc. Target rich environment. In person.

Many such friends I have would corroborate this statement. Ive listened to their various stories over the last 5-10 years with this age range and I've kinda broken up their approaches into a few different Areas of Operation, if you will:

Apps:
Even the fat women have hundreds of guys trying to get their attention. O, sure, some guys have luck and get married and blah blah. But why deal with all that competition?

School Functions, Travel Ball, etc:
Target rich but things could get weird for your little Jaxxon if you start plowing Brayden's mom in the hotel room stairwell after one too many White Claws at the park.

The Wild:
Think Target, the gym, IHOP waitresses, etc. Not a lot of luck but if you're bored and lonely apparently hitting a rando at Target with a "I need help picking out a new knife set since my wife left me" has surprisingly great effect if you handle it correctly.

The Bars:
Fish in a barrel. Dress better than anyone there, sit at the bar, and wait. ANY line to start a conversation and you pretty much know right away if she's looking too or if she could care less. Treat the bar like a table at the Casino. Table cold? Move to a new bar. Table is hot? Stay and hit on 12 a few times.

God Mode:
The Church. Ive mentioned this before but one guy literally friended up the old ladies at his church. He went to a grieving thing on accident thinking it was divorcees and just stayed since he was so lonely (dude is one charming motherfricker so I guess that helps) but over the weeks he got to know them pretty good and before he knew it they were sending high quality ladies his way. Dude couldn't believe his luck.

Stay frosty out there my single baws!

Get off of Instagram and TikTok. I know what you're seeing, but it's not real life. If you get a date off of sliding into some woman's DMs, she had 20 other dudes trying it this week. Meet women in real life, it's much easier. It'll help build your confidence back up, too. A lack of confidence is probably the number one attraction killer for women. I find the opposite, there's never been a better time to be a divorced man in his 30/40/50s. Women are fitter than ever, they've been sexually "liberated," they're OK with people knowing there is wine in their tumbler at the baseball game, etc. Target rich environment. In person.

The problem with dating in your mid 30s now is finding someone who is attractive, doesn’t have kids, and is not batshit insane. As others have said, social media has made women even more difficult to deal with. Especially the single mothers. In my experience. They just expect you to instantly get along with their kid be super stepdad and get along with their baby daddy. It’s a lot of work especially when their kid is a little shitass. Last summer I was playing catch with the woman I was seeing 8 year old son. He is ADHD AF and just over all a spoiled brat. The little bass turd smiled a shite eating smile and then turned sideways and threw the baseball as hard as he could into a window. He instantly ran and told his mother that it slipped. Meanwhile I am still standing there dumbfounded and trying not to go insane. She comes out and apologizes and says it was an accident and all that stuff. Some how I kept my composure. She left and then texted me later that night saying it was really shitty that I didn’t immediately go inside and tell her son that it was ok. I texted her back and said this ain’t going to work. I don’t know if she is so damn entitled that she thought that I should have been lucky to have her son break my window, or if she was one of those crazy ones who likes to pick a fight and loves drama. Either way it was too much for me.
