re: Why do girls deceive on dating apps?

Dick size can’t be controlled either

I’m also a 78 baby.

I’m not worried about it right now. I don’t see myself even considering dating for a really long time.

You'll be fine and you'll move on. You seem like a nice person and have a good career and other things going for you. Plenty of guys your age would date you. Don't sell yourself short.

Men in their 40s likely won’t even look twice at a woman their own age.

Went on a date with a 41 year old, girl from this weekend is 38 and I'm younger than that.

If you are into it, plenty of good looking guys younger than you will still go for you.

I had my sights set on someone in the 33-37 range, and ended up with a 39 year old (I'm 42)

I'll be 43 in a few months so we are the roughly the same age. I'd rather date a 42 year old than a 27 year old at this stage in life. I don't know how I would relate to someone that age anymore.

If i went that young it would be to check that box one last time, but I would never be able to date a 27 year old long term...same reason you mentioned.

And yeah, I'll be 43 in May.

Both of my wives have been ten years older.

Hinge is garbage here, for the most part. Bumble is solid for good women. Tinder, as always, is about finding diamonds in the rough.

Hinge pretty much does suck here in HTX. It's mostly fat black women. Bumble has some smokeshows but I'm convinced about half the super fine girls are there just to get advertise their instagram. If they're posting magazine quality photos from some resort in Bora Bora, I go ahead and figure them for being fake ads.

But yes, I've almost started this same thread a couple of times. Women don't seem to understand the under promise, over deliver aspect. They are almost ALWAYS 15-20 more than you expect them to be. The post the pictures from when they looked their absolute best at the exact right angle when the sun was in the perfect place and that's the one you see. THey do themselves a disservice because you're automatically disappointed when you see them. Immediately, even if they have potential. Instead of allowing themselves to grow on you, all you can think about is that they lied and sold you a bill of goods. Automatic disappointment on sight is hard to recover from and hard to hide on our perspective.

I delete if any mention of Instagram, any duck face, any rabbit ears or puppy nose, OBVIOUS filtering and any political crap in the bio. I've had quite a few dates since I've moved here in August and I haven't slayed any yet but I've absolutely had one really bad and awkward date. The other 2 I could have pursued if I wanted but after the first date, I was pretty disinterested. I was actually disinterested after about the first 5 minutes of talking to them but I could be swayed by a really fun and interesting woman that may be a bit on the thicker side, but I can't deal with a fat girl.

The amazing thing for me about online apps in Houston is the variety. I've gone on dates with 4 woman, American, South African, Egyptian, and last night a Latino that I've been talking with for about a week or so now and finally met last night for tea at a place by the Galleria. Tonight, she cooked spaghetti and invited me over. I don't expect this to be very challenging.

THe women are there but you have to get their phone number quick, get them to texting then to a phone call. You know nothing about how you'll fit until then. Even then, the in person date is the test. I don't drink so I can't invite them for drinks and that puts me at a disadvantage bigtime, but I have been able to make it work so far with coffee and dessert or a very casual meal.

The first dates are nerve wracking as hell, especially with the mask shite. You meet, wearing a mask, take off your mask and then feel so stupid because you've both been wearing a mask. But for a 44 year old that doesn't go out at all, I wouldn't have any other options if not online. I work from home now so it's either online or a random conversation at HEB.

Oh well, I'm off to eat spaghetti with the Latino and carve a pumpkin.
