Yup. Divorced in September 2018. After that, I was in one exclusive relationship with a woman 15 years younger for about a year til April 2020. Since then only a couple of dates and a few booty calls with a FWB up til last year.

I’m 60, but fit and in good health. I don’t have the desire or patience anymore to seek out and get to know someone new. I never thought I’d say that because like most men I’ve been a horndog my whole life.

I’ll probably never be in a relationship again. It would have to be some serendipity that puts me in the path of the right woman. Otherwise I’m not looking and I’m fine alone.

Dating fricking sucks now, a few years ago I could get a decent date online pretty easily, it’s nearly impossible now. Forget meeting anyone in the real world. I’m just kind of resigned to it now, my expectations are probably way too high but I thought once I was making good money and established dating would be easier, not harder. I’m 35 and never married so I am still hopeful I can find someone in her late 20s early 30s but it just isn’t happening.

My wife passed 10 years ago and I dated once. That was enough to remind me that I liked the parts of a woman but not all of the rest of the stuff that comes with it. I’m not a misogynist because I like women just don’t want to start over. I had a great wife and memories are good enough. I just don’t want to have a “relationship” again.

Stop searching, she’ll come to you out of no where from a place you’ll never expect her to come from.

My girl and I have been together (dating and live separately) for about 3 years. Guess it is shite or get off the pot time.

I wouldn't bother dating again if anything happened to my marriage or wife. After 22 years I wouldn't be willing to start over either.

Get you a traditional girl from overseas that isn't Americanized. Why fish in a pond when you can fish in an ocean?

Women have their dating lists of what's okay and what's not and it's almost always an aggregate of wants/red flags from the combo of all of their relationships.


Dating culture is killing marriage and hurting women.

Everyone has baggage, it's part of being a human. If it's not from a past relationship, something from childhood, etc. People have flaws so you just have to let people be themselves and find someone you enjoy time with.

Dating is not an enjoyable process though I found. It's exhausting getting to know people all the time. And dating apps are overwhelming and hard to sift through.

If something were to happen with my relationship, I'd probably take a really long break.

I guess there’s reasons why they’re single in their 30s and 40s.
They can say the same about you, but there is nothing wrong with that. Stay single if it makes you happy.
