Where Are All The Good Men/Women For Senior Dating |
Posted: April 25, 2018 |
Dating is not just for young crowd anymore, as there are now countless dating sites and apps that cater to the 50 and older crowd. While it’s fair to suggest that the dating pool may not be as deep as it is for the twenty something crowd, there are still plenty of older ladies and gents to go around. The problem here is that both sides are complaining about how difficult it is to meet a good partner. This begs the question as to where all the good men and women have gone, so let’s try to look at both sides to see if we can get an idea. Where are the good men hiding out? It’s a little bit of a generalization here, but the truth is that men tend to be a little vainer than women. A guy in his 50’s will likely still believe that he is best suited to a woman half his age, which is not necessarily the correct path to a lasting relationship. Younger women may seem more aesthetically pleasing to older guys, but they quickly find out that there is more to a relationship than just having a pretty woman in your arm. Even when that little nugget sinks in, they will still try to convince themselves that a younger model is better, which keeps them away from dating sites designed for people aged 50 or older. The men that do decide to put themselves out there to older women can tend to be a little on the misogynistic side, and therefore make little effort to present themselves in a flattering light. They may actually be good men, but they would never think to show themselves as tender or caring on an online dating profile, choosing instead to talk about their manly attributes, which is not appealing to a potential partner. Where are all the wonderful ladies? People arriving on the dating scene in their 50’s are often there because they are coming out of a divorce. Generally speaking, women take a longer time to get over the loss of an emotional attachment, at least on the surface. With that in mind, it can take them a good deal longer to get back into the dating world, and even when they do, it may be a half-hearted attempt. Many women will mention that they are looking for a male friend, first and foremost, which many men will look at as a case of the woman being “frigid.” These are simply women being careful about who they give their heart to, but men quickly assume that they do not fall into the “good woman” category. Women who are emotionally available are sometimes placed in a similar category because they seek a man who can care for them both financially and lovingly. Men coming out of a divorce may not be in as good a financial standing, which means they avoid contacting these good women. In conclusion There are plenty of good men and women out there, regardless of age, but you need to set aside your preconceived notions to meet them. Dating sites allow you to test the waters and go on dating test drives. You may hear about Tinder dating for younger crowds, there is also Tinder for Seniors like Tinderforseniors.com. Give it a try and you may just find a good one when what you thought you were getting was a lemon.
