re: Dating as a 40 Year Old Man, How Realistic is it?

I’m 56 and still single. I make 100k per year but I am only 5’7” . I am overweight by 35 pounds. It’s too late for me but I will tell HS men that if you are in good shape graduating HS or College, fight hard to maintain that body. One minute you can be 155 lbs and ten years later you’re crossing 200.

Unless you're disabled, lose the damn weight. Nothing to do with women. It's just unhealthy. With our dietary/training knowledge and the selection of drugs that help, there's no excuse for being fat anymore.

I'm living proof. I was 41 and she 27. Thankfully, I like you got my partying out of my system. I have an amazing wife. I don't deserve her but I'm thankful everyday for her.

Get a dog.
Better yet, adopt two from a shelter or rescue.

Take a yoga or hot yoga class.

That's true. I was sedentary for around 12 months from when I was diagnosed with a herniated disc to surgery to post-physical therapy.
But it's not that difficult to improve from a low mark, either.

This seems a bit extreme..

Volunteering is also another option.

I have two buddies that met their spouses on E-Harmony. Both are happily married with kids now. Both met them relatively quickly too.

You sleep with married chicks and single mothers.

This thread and 34767 like it make me realize we need a Relationship Board. I volunteer to leave my sheep in the fields and be an admin. In all seriousness, the difficulty that men and women are having right now in every segment of society is the under reported story of our time. Of course, particularly those under 30.

Go to a large church and join a singles Bible study. You are sure to meet some illegible ladies

It's never too late.
I'm 70 and lift weights 6 days a week. You'll look better and feel better.

My guess is if you're 40+, your dating pool is going to be divorced women, unless you go way younger. I know some people say that's the way, but I honestly don't know how some of them can relate to a 28 year old at 42 or whatever.
There's also a much higher divorce rate among couples with a 10+ year age difference.

A 28 year old can relate, but probably not a 25 year old.

I guess you have to wait for their car insurance to go down.
No need saddling yourself with that bill

It's not easy. Even with the really good ones, there's still a generational gap that makes some things difficult.
I'm "relating" to a former D1 cheerleader 19 years younger. She's got a good head on her shoulders, is well adjusted, comes from a stable family, etc. Fine as hell, super fit, very little social media activity... And yet there are still times where it's like she's from a different universe. Whatever, I'm going to put up with it a bit longer.

I'm admittedly probably an "old soul" for 46. I had 2 kids in my 20s and a teenager in my 30s. I might as well be 60

My point is we all have our aging issues. I think older men are nice looking and if a blue pill or other method was needed, it’s life. No big deal. I do think men age better than women to some extent, but both genders have the crazies. One good thing about being older and dating is you aren’t building a family and money isn’t as important. To me, anyway. I wasn’t looking for a man to support me, I wanted carry my own w weight and not lean on anyone. And wanted the same. But do like a symbiotic partnership and not even concerned about marrying again. Can be committed without paper.
