These threads are starting to legitimately confuse me. 40 is PEAK dating for a man with his shite together. Are you reasonably attractive? Do you have some natural charm ? Are you a good listener? Do you enjoy being in the presence of women?
If so , just go where women you like hangout and start chatting. Stay off the dating sites and just go to where the women are and smile and chat and do your thing. Women are waiting for you to make the first move and find it attractive. Even though the dating scene is screwy , it’s still relatively easy to make an IRL connection based on your good energy and natural charm. You are overthinking this.
im married and happily married but i look around and yea being early 40s its easy to date. you have money, or should have....being single ole dude should be in really good shape....he should have confidence but obviously doest
sounds like a couple things...
1) dude needs to up his game in his career. You single, become a bad arse at work and start banking
2) dude needs to get his arse in the gym and start slinging heavy arse slag iron, get big and strong
3) dude need to take some classes in person or online on how to talk to women and start approaching them. he sounds like a scared HS kid that is scared of rejection. Why give a frick what some cum dumpster thinks?

I'm in my upper 40's and feel your pain. It seems so hopeless I don't even bother trying anymore

Yeah in current climate there is no way I would date or even attempt to date a coworker nothing good can come from it.

If your post is any indication, you’re overthinking it.

What car wash was this? Yesterday, I had a milf that wouldn't give me her number, but asked for mine.
That's not such a bad thing. I gave a cutie my digits once and didn't ask for hers. She ended up texting me later that day.
Worked because there was no pressure on her and no creeper vibe. Ball was in her court.

All men want basically the same thing with a woman who is a LTR prospect:
genuine mutual attraction /connection
Kindness/helpfulness/ adding value to his life
Respect / loyalty / sexual exclusivity
Calm/ peaceful /good energy
Sexual availability
We know where many single women are failing.They wear us out with manufactured indignity and drama and they seem adversarial and this freaks us out So we just give up on the idea of one woman and start dating multiple women.Which leads nowhere usually.
I wonder where the single women of this board think single men are failing. I think many single men struggle making women feel loved, accepted and secure. They feel like they are standing in quicksand because we don’t commit to them.It drives them batty.

f you are looking for a single, never married, attractive woman in that age range that wants to settle down now; picking will be super slim
Not necessarily. They're out there.
The problem is when they want to settle down NOW, after spending their prime years partying. Nobody worth a damn wants leftovers.
I have no issues with the ones who always wanted to settle down, tried to settle down, but it just didn't work out for whatever reason (excluding "because she's psycho", etc.).
The sense of entitlement is high in either category though. If they're remotely attractive - and even if they aren't in most cases - then they've got the "I deserve" and "won't settle" syndromes.

What are you interest in- like things you enjoy- not women.
Try engaging in those activities and doing things you really enjoy and you may end up meeting someone with similar interests as yourself.
And worst case scenario- you don’t meet anyone, but you’ve not wasted your time bc you’d have been doing things you really enjoy.

There are a lot of 30ish year old nurses that fit those criteria.

Do you have a hobby? Learn to play tennis. There’s women all over tennis courts.

If you are solid financially, and are fit you'll crush it.
Most 40 year olds are a physical mess.

This is true. I am seeing more and more men in their early 40’s as patients in the icu with all manner of health ailments - heart attacks, obesity etc…
Same goes for women though… ppl need to do better about their health in general.

Ditch this one.
If you find a young widow with 2 or 3 she's still a good catch.

If it happens for you, it will, but it's just not going to fall into your lap, you have to make a move.
