I went on a group hiking realised not for me. Just CBA, no interest in the people on it. Will just keep trying different stuff but more small groups or solo.

Just been looking at that women I'm chatting to. Ok 50 I think bit old but I guess that is a mindset I'm 44. She is attractive, fit, great humour and even after I told her my current situation, which is st tbh, she is still chatting.

And I haven't felt the urge to tell her I love her which is a bonus.

Only issue she has come out a bad relationship and I'm not sure she is looking even though I think she is.

I know I need to keep my opinions open but tbh would settle for her if she was up for it. I'm not a "player" been single a long time, not really looking for a bunk up, just wondered if this stuff is normal.?

You make rather quick judgements imo, comes across as quite all or nothing from the get go.

Its been a few days of chatting you say?
Just relax and cool your jets, meet up when you're both free, see each other on some planned weekend dates over of the summer months, get to know each other, read the vibe of how it's going.

50 sounds young but I’m now 47 and the ex is mid 50s

The change from 50 to 54 is huge

Go younger

Lol I would rather someone I like chatting with than looks as just enjoy that more. Anyway just wondered. Yeh I haven't even met her, probably won't she live like 150 miles away and petrol ain't cheap.

Definitely won't be doing any apps ever again.

I'm 50, there are hardly any women my age that I actually find attractive.

My partner is 42, I really don't think I would want to date much older than that. I could be persuaded if it was Liz Hurley, Kate Beckinsdale or Carol Vorderman though.....

But seriously I would say 99% of non celeb over 50s don't do it for me, they are largely anonymous when I am out and about.

I really cannot imagine being single in my 50s and 60s and looking to date someone new. Honestly I think I would rather be single than date women in that age range.

And yet women in their 50's and even early 60's get inundated by messages from younger men,much younger men

When I was online dating at 40 I was dating women between 35 and 45. Lots of them were inundated by messages from men in their 20s.

The reason for this is they are low hanging fruit to these young men. It's pretty much guaranteed no string sex, dating women their own age is much more difficult.

I totally get why they do it, women in this age range are still attractive and there is the older experienced woman fantasy thing going on. Plus the women like the attention and ego boost, although it does wear off for some once they realise they are pump and dump fodder.

But younger men going for women in their 50s and 60s? Yuck. I really struggle to believe that even someone in their 30s or 40s is going to want to date someone in their 50s unless they are top 5%.
