I think it depends. Whether someone takes care of themselves becomes apparent at age 35, my age.

There are men and women that either make a concerted effort to look good or have let themselves go.

I'm chatting with a very cute lady in her early twenties as we speak. I think for many young ladies, they are attracted to older men. I do exercise routinely however and take care of myself.

I'm don't find a number of ladies my age attractive as they've let themselves go.

It's good that you take care of yourself and it does help. My boyfriend is almost 10 years older, but he's lead a good clean life. He's a bit chubby though, but he knows that he's got some middle aged spread, but that's minor. But most men don't seem to take care of themselves like you do. Like the women you see, the men I saw let themselves go or just didn't age well (genetics catches up with them).

Backpage.com is the way to go. Why is this thread so long?

Because prostitution is illegal, those men not looking for relationships but looking to get laid have to go through the whole song and dance routine to get sex.

That's what online dating is.
Make your profile, set it, and forget it. Spend a little time replying to messages. All reward, no risk.

Thank goodness people with this attitude broadcast it like a neo sign! Then women don't have to throw up in their mouths in person.

Not long ago I had the CEO of a company I work for get busted for visiting a prostitute.

The board fired him, his name and mugshot were all over the news, and his life was basically ruined.

I have no moral objection to prostitution but the consequences are clear. I am guessing that if you advocate prostitution as a solution to dating problems, you must not be a person with very much to lose.

I'm not against online dating but for men it is a challenge as most men don't get a inbox full of messages. Its a numbers game and eventually your time will come. Maybe I'm wrong, but why not go all the way and sign up for a paid service like match or eharmony, at least you know people there take it more seriously.

Idk, anyone want to chime in on paid vs non-paid sites?
