Is This What Dating Men in Their 50s Looks Like?

It’s more entertaining than I expected

I’ve been single for over seven years.

I gave up finding someone long ago because I got too comfortable being an independent, empowered single woman. Why introduce unnecessary drama into my life?

But recently, a reunion with an old friend triggered something in me. I decided to give online dating another shot.

I’m not 50 yet, but since it’s not too far off, I figure it might be best to look for someone older, in their 50s.

There were a few reasons why I thought men in their 50s would be a better fit:

1. If they haven’t had kids by now, they probably won’t want any — which is perfect since I don’t want any.
2. If they have kids, they’re likely older or young adults. That works for me because they now have their time back, and we can focus on nurturing our relationships.
3. They should know what they want, meaning no time wasted playing games.

With that mindset, I created my profile and got back into the dating scene.
