In six hours on a dating site today, I received 74 visits, 12 messages (8 not ridiculous), 21 quick matches, and one request for a date. Not bad for one photo and a hastily put-together profile for one day. Maybe I will have a date at some point in the next two weeks.
Oh, and look, most of the men are two or three years younger than I am. But how can that be? I'm 47! And their profiles all say they are looking for women in their mid-30s to early 50s. Don't men in their 40s all want to date 20-somethings? Gee, and according to C-D, I thought I was long past my sell-by date.
Best part is that there is a lot in my profile that would send someone running: I made it clear I'm only there for friends or casual dating because I may be relocating at the end of the summer, and I don't even have a car anymore while living in suburbia. Also, my profile mentions that I am not long out of a very long relationship, and that there will NOT be any NSA sex. Those things probably put a lot of the 74 visitors off, quite understandably. If I were sticking around, more open to a relationship, and had better logistics, I'm guessing I would have gotten closer to 25 or 30 legit messages, at least.
So all of these guys on here talking about how women older than 30 will never attract men, they're washed up, they're this, they're that, well, they can suck it. They just want to take their frustrations out on the young women who have rejected them, like, "Better get this now honey, because no one will want you in 10 years."
Yep, As you get older, usually what you get is all have been bitten into. No surprizes there. All dried out and crusty.
I haven't met any dried out, crusty folks.
I don't subscribe to all the "baggage" talk either though, or feel that folks have expiration dates or are all used up because they have had relationships before.
Actually, to be honest, the 30's may be the beginning of a woman's prime, but the peaks get higher and higher in the 40's
Indeed. I had a pretty good dating life through out my youth, but past my 30's and into my 40's I would say definitely prime.
Really pay no attention to the nonsense of what you hear people saying such negatives about maturing women, I equate this talk to the same type of people that are batterers in their relationships, I've been faced to face with the type, no them well. They like to beat people down to keep them in place and to satiate, help with their own low esteem. It's sad when I read such garbage, but, more often than not, these days, the child like chants cause me to chuckle.
