Dating After 50 Years Old
Okay this is a bit of a rant so don't take it personally. It might not even be an age thing as the title suggests. I've been dating unsuccessfully over the last few years. Is it me or has dating changed since the mid 90's? (When I was last single). Perhaps I'm going about things the wrong way. I don't know. I used to have no problem meeting guys whether it be online (The internet was in it's infancy), at a bar, social event, etc. Now I'm having such a hard time meeting anyone viable! The apps aren't cutting it as they seem to be a complete cesspool of dysfunction. Online dating sites like Adam4Adam is full of scammer bots and fake profiles. Sniffies.... well that's not really a dating site. I am finding guys are far more aloof, less willing to take a risk and step outside their comfort zone, only want to hook up (which is fine by me), or in an open relationship and only want sex (All fine and dandy but not when you're open to more). Don't get me started on ghosting and cancel culture. Is anyone else finding that communication and working through differences and objections seems to be lacking? People just write others off the first time they don't agree with something the other says? This could be all in my head but I'm having a really hard time! Sigh. I know I know.... the right one will come when I'm not looking anymore. Sure.... easier said than done. I don't want to end up a jaded bitter queen... but it seems it may already be happening. Do gay men even know what they want anymore? It seems the younger guys want sugar daddy's and the older guys want the younger guys. It's mind boggling. Give me some ideas on how to meet viable single gay men. #rantover. Now back to our regular scheduled programming.
