But then, I had many women ask me why I was not interested in marriage? They all said they would not date someone who is not open to marriage because their ultimate end goal was marriage and commitment. As for what the men on Stitch are looking for — I don’t really like to generalize about what other people want, but I can say that we see a very clear self-selection happening on Stitch. Older men who want to find a young woman have plenty of other sites they can go to who cater to that. The ones who are attracted to Stitch join us because they are looking for real people, shared interests and conversation just as much as any physical attraction. If you check out our member testimonials page (just click the “Testimonials” link at the top of the home page) I think you’ll see David’s comment which sums this up quite nicely.
I find the situation with men here even worse than before. Now at almost 53 years old I am totally turned off to the idea of being with anyone again. I would always have preferred not to be alone and single, but my luck with men after my divorce, which was 10 years ago, has not been good. If you lived a lot closer you might be able to convince me that there are still men out there with a decent head on their shoulders who desire something meaningful in their lives. It seems that good women are often hard to find too. It’s unfortunate that the rest of us can’t seem to connect.
Age Match
She died just after our 50th birthday. We had sons ages 14 and 16 in the home. I had not dated much prior to my marriage primarily due to my career demands in a family business.
Get asked out by younger men, men my age, older men. But I seem to have a broken picker. And, I am really so afraid of being hurt again. My divorce was unexpected and really blind-sided me. And, there were a couple of difficult post-divorce dating experiences and now I’m very skittish and I bolt too fast.
factors important for a healthy relationship
I am just curious if I am some sort of “rare” elder. I am also curious regarding the near absense of interest in/discussion of attraction, chemisty and sex to be found on this site. My feeling is that once you start hitting 55 and you’re alone , you just want to live! You want to howl at the old man in the moon, to let life know that you’re still appreciating it. In general there is usually more females than there are males.
I don’t want to “keep up” and no, I don’t have a “passport in hand”. At almost 52 I am still interested in sex and I believe it is necessary to create the bond in a meaningful relationship, which is what I am looking for. I am not looking for just a male friend.
I’m sure there’s women who could say the same about men. I choose to keep an open mind and not judge people. You are 100% on Target with theses you think.
Our Time
Nobody is perfect, and we all could work on a little acceptance of each other. The problem lies in the promiscuity of both men and women in recent decades. Time to be more choosy on who you go to bed with. Maybe sex is not all it’s cracked up to be. Better to see if there’s a real connection before climbing into bed with someone, and before you do get a simple blood test to prove to your partner that you won’t bring them an unwanted disease. Confirmed Bachelor – You are spot on.
I post just my profile picture, username, age and city and that is it! I get 25 to 30 messages a day from different woman and an average of 45 – 50 that have viewed my profile. You are completely wrong and have no idea what you’re talking about. I am a 50 year old woman and want sex more now than I ever did in my 20’s, and every woman I know my age feels the same. Because we r sitting here reading posts that say we may as well accept the fact that we are going to be alone the rest of our lives. I have so much MORE to offer at 53 thatn i did at 33….but the packaging is older….and nobody gives me a second thougt!
I had two children so we attempted to get beyond this but she ended up leaving after 27 yeas of marriage. The lack of effort on their part has to be seen to be believed. Essentially, it comes down to what I’ve noticed all my life, women aren’t that bothered about men unless they need then. Now, in their fifties, kids grown up, circle of friends, own https://datingwebreviews.com/soulsingles-review/ home , they’re just not that bothered which is why they make so little effort. They’re happy to die alone with their cats if the perfect man doesn’t come along and want what they have to offer, which is often nothing. And the very sad thing is that there are many of us very good men out there that just can’t find love at all, no matter how we try.
I did Match for 8 months at age 58. I had 1400 women look at me, I contacted 40, 10 responded, and none wanted to meet for coffee. These women weren’t beauty queens or models folks. Online dating works best for under 40 people.
