Go out and have some people, if it doesn’t work out it’s ok, date some more. Most women in their 50s don’t want to date men much younger. We want men who are like us — able to support themselves, still interested in living life, fairly healthy, emotionally stable, and not drug/alcohol abusers. Pretty simple it would seem — just hard to meet them.

What is the acceptable minimum age for a dating partner? When this question comes up in conversation, someone inevitably cites the half your age plus seven rule. This rule states that by dividing your own age by two and then adding seven you can find the socially acceptable minimum age of anyone you want to date. However, if you notice that you’re attracted to a certain age-group and it hasn’t been working out for you, think about that older or younger person you may not have considered before. It may be time to mix it up a bit and see if something, and someone, new will work out for you. It could be that differences in age matter less as we get older, but the older men get the younger the women they match with are.
Your very aura of defeatism is so repelling that no woman, from today or from yesteryear, would ever be able to penetrate it even if she actually wanted to try. You are expecting some woman to fix you and that is not her job. Finding the right person to be happy with is worth the risk and the time.
Made great money, I thought we were happy and kept thinking this is too perfect. She praised me constantly, we never fought. Cent No.1 – I will be 48 this year and for 17 months now, I have been dating a wonderful man that is 10 years older. Knowing men prefer younger works for me since I prefer older, within limits. I have no respect for an older man looking to have an intimate relationship with a girl young enough to be his daughter. Luckily for me, he was not into dating women too much younger.

Anonymous……..I am sorry you feel that way but I respect what you’re saying. Maybe you think it is easy for women to find a good man but my luck has been terrible. I am attractive with a nice figure, funny, smart, https://hookupinsight.com/ and affectionate. I don’t need a man for money or status, nor do I want a man years younger than I am. I work with the public and I dress and conduct myself professionally. Not one man has shown any interest.
I am 47 and just started a fling with a 27 year old, just a few years older than my own kids. I was tired of being approached by married men my own age who assumed that because I am single I would be desperate for their lame attention. After reading this and these comments I don’t feel guilty or strange to be doing this. As long as we are mutually benefitting from this relationship then we’ll continue it.
AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that empowers people to choose how they live as they age. Curious outsiders are quick to judge when they can see a wide age gap between two romantic partners. Maybe this is why the rule is so appealing.
I want someone close to my age but would consider a few years younger or older. I dated men my age before him and after him, and it sometimes can last for several dates, or a couple of months, but it seems to always fall apart. I have realized that for most I have met, I am not young enough, thin enough, pretty enough…or do not meet the needs of whatever else is on their wish list. I have had a couple of men who date younger say that women MY AGE are not interested in sex or adventure and are too much of the same…like their ex-wife. They have judged me without knowing a damn thing about me.
As for what the men on Stitch are looking for — I don’t really like to generalize about what other people want, but I can say that we see a very clear self-selection happening on Stitch. Older men who want to find a young woman have plenty of other sites they can go to who cater to that. The ones who are attracted to Stitch join us because they are looking for real people, shared interests and conversation just as much as any physical attraction. If you check out our member testimonials page (just click the “Testimonials” link at the top of the home page) I think you’ll see David’s comment which sums this up quite nicely. We are all living decades longer than we once did, and are staying fitter, healthier further into our wisdom years than ever before.
53, two kids, one just into college and the other in high school. I can’t take it any more but chicken to be alone and single at this age. I look at younger women thinking there are only so many “good” years before they turn the same way. I’m tall, fit and financially secure, but doubt many women my age want to do a 100mile bike ride with me or go skydiving ! Are we too old to have a “girlfriend” that becomes the love of our lives?
The last relationship I had was after my divorce. This new man and I had lengthy conversations before we ever became intimate. He explained his physical needs and expectations and I explained mine. We worked everything out, he was very generous in bed, and his needs were met whenever he wanted it. We were both very happy in that regard. We only parted because a heart attack claimed his life after suffering for many years with medical problems.
The Central Scrutinizer……I can understand your resentment. What you’ve said makes sense to me. And not to knock California, because I think it is a beautiful and dynamic state, I have seen and heard about what people’s expectations generally are who live there. I have friends and family out there who have told me pretty much the same thing.
Hi Meribast, I like and agree with your message, it’s so true and fitting for most of us in our 50+ years. I agree with what you had to say in your message. It’s so true and fitting for people in the 50+ age group. Now, because I took such good care of myself, I look twenty years younger, I have a well-established career and all the money I want, and I get laid just exactly as much as I want.
