I'm a 47 year old guy who got divorced 7 years ago. I was married for 15 years and had no idea how hard it is to meet someone in this dating scene.
I've been trying all of these dating apps like Plenty of Fish and I've discovered how much competition I'm up against. Just by reading how their inboxes get practically flooded with messages makes it feel like I'm trying to get a celebrity to notice me.
Now, I'm not the best looking guy out there and neither am I the wealthiest. I just don't believe in making myself out to be something I'm not by exaggerating and embellishing on my profile. Maybe that's why I'm not getting noticed?
I'm also realistic as to not try and get a girl in her twenties or early thirties. But these women closer to my age are really asking for a lot. Tall, handsome, muscular, has a successful career, confident and sticks out in a crowd. Wow. And here I am looking average with a modest job, well mannered and doesn't really stick out.
My question is why would these highly sought men settle down with a woman in her forties when they could easily get the twenty year olds? I just find it so disheartening that guys like me who are nice, responsible, law abiding citizens are treated like the bottom of the barrel on these dating apps. Maybe I should just quit and stop holding on to this hope.

People are too fussy when it comes to dating. They put so much pressure on themselves and the one they want it is ridiculous. All of these women must think they are really something to be so particular about a man they want to meet. Too bad for them if the man is what they are looking for and he is a sociopath or a psychopath. It doesn't matter what anyone's personalities are like any more. It is all about looks, weight, money, good car, good job, owning a house etc. Men in their forties with twenty year olds sounds disgusting. They could have daughters that age. Try to find another way of meeting someone other than dating apps. Good luck.
Replydon't let it stress you out, women don't know what they want!
ReplyObviously the women in their forties know exactly what they want as they've lived a bit longer than younger women.
ReplyIt’s funny, we’re not the same age, but we’re looking for normal where it apparently hardly exists. Here I am a 30 year old girl in tinder who wants to have a normal relationship, with someone likeminded, but my matches are all looking for someone to get laid! I don’t know, my pictures are nothing flashy I don’t look like someone you can ask! So, after the third conversation with the person talking like we’re buddies now and let’s see each other tomorrow, and god knows what next..! and not really answering any of my questions, I changed tactics for my net conversations. (I don’t send them a message and wait for them to do so, if they’re interested they’ll start the conversation, I’m not sure if it’s right or not) I introduce myself, ask him to do the same and then talk about my hobbies and interests and ask his, then I ask what kind of relationship he’s looking for. At this point all of them get a big ❌ is it too much to ask to have a meaningful relationship with someone who wouldn’t use you or let go of you when things start to get serious? It’s like, it’s not attractive to be kind and caring anymore! You should wear designer clothing... I don’t know it’s really tiring😓
