Maybe. I don't know many women that need to go through a dating site for that. They have several guys they can just call or text as back ups.
The dating sites are full of desperate men. No some women do go local. Or staff. IMHO I think it's sick. I saw it with a few women. There are bad and good women just like men.
In my experience, there's a reason that people date people within their age cohort (no more than ~6 years age difference, in either direction). That reason is that you just have more in common to click in the long-term. You're at similar places in your life, have grown up seeing the world from more or less the same perspective, and you are familiar with the same media.
I've dated men much older than me. The biggest age gaps were a 34 year old when I was 17 and a 40-something when I was 19. Both times I felt like the "most specialest snowflake in the universe" because these older, mature guys were vying for my attention, but neither relationship panned out. There just wasn't enough in common between us on a deeper level (liking the same music and voting for the same politicians isn't a deep level of similarity).
So, if you're just in it for the sex, want to be taken care of, or are hoping to take advantage of a lonely aging woman, keep doing what you're doing. If you're hoping to make a deep, long-lasting connection, go back to women your own age. Step one would be to get off the internet, and date in the real world. That's where most of us young women are.
And I just want to make it clear that I'm not suggesting women over 40 aren't dateable, I'm just saying YOU as a 20-something are more likely to make a fulfilling connection with someone in your own age demographic. But it's certainly not impossible to make a great connection with someone older (or younger) than you. That'll happen by chance, though, not because you're looking for it.
He wants to get laid and thinks this is the easiest way. So far it's not really working out as he imagined.
Really? LOL. That's why I have a question mark. A divorced woman in her 40's should not have a bunch of questions for him. She and he knows what this is..............let's be serious. She might as well invite him over to the place and he bring a bottle of wine and flowers. Questions.........please. This is not relationship situation.

Doesn't really matter. If a woman is going to sleep with a man. Especially a mature woman. She wants there to be some type of connection. Every FB relationship I've had started very similar to a dating one.
FWB relationships often start differently, but it doesn't seem from his other posts that that is what he is really looking for and we have no idea what she is.
How much dating have you done in your life, OP? You seem very inexperienced. Just take it as it comes. It's a date, not an FBI interrogation.

IDK, dude. It sounds like you're a pinch-hitter trying to play in the major leagues, going by your 2 threads. Could be time to dial it back a little. I don't know what else to tell you. Build more experience with chicks your age. Or don't worry every detail to death, just go for it!
I have a date on Th. When we were making plans, she texted me saying this: "I'm looking forward to seeing you, be prepared I have a lot of questions. I have a curious mind. "
I hope this is a good sign?
You're about to be treated to "the list." Be prepared to answer personal questions, as well as questions about your job, income, family, etc.
