Is It Worth It To Still Try To Date/Find Love After 40?

[shutterguy]

I'm 40.

Still getting better.

Odds of me finding an equal are slim.

But that's ok because being alone isn't a problem when your happiness comes from within.

Your path may be different.

But I'm either gonna find a perfect woman, or ride this wave of peace, quiet, good food, and random p*ssy forever.

42 here, not married and no kids. Can very much relate to this post.

I keep myself happy with photography, motorcycles, music, and meeting new people here and there.

I'm 38 and I've all but given up. Also on antidepressants like Cig and I've lost all of my motivation. Ah well, I tried.

If u closing In on your 40s or in your 40s just be honest with yourself, u going to run into women who have baggage, rather mentally or have a kid or 2... u definitely dealing with women who have had her share of dikks , but it’s up to u in what u looking for

Damn breh, did you ever have a chick who you could have been with but didn’t want to for some reason?

One only to be honest. I talk to girls for a minute, I feel like it's going somewhere, and then they move on or we just stop talking. From 2017 to 2018 it was a carousel of that and I gave up. Love ain't for everybody man.

 

[MoveForward]

Don't give up brehs, there are good women out here that are looking for good men to shower with love. I have ran into several this year to be honest and I'm just not ready to settle down, so I'm the one playing games.

Even if you date a single mom, they're not all bad. Alot of them didn't choose that for themselves and they aren't looking for anyone to play dad.

I’m about to be 38 and single shyt it may suck but I think it will be fun...the women you deal with will clearly know what they are about. You can place your career or money first and if you meet someone to grow old with so be it...

And most of us by this age are parents with kids ranging from young to adults

Loneliness in the elderly community is a huge, sad issue. If you have to drop your standards down do it.

 

[TripleAgent]

I won't go lower than 35. Or older than 45. Personal preference for issues of relatability..

That's the problem. You're checking for spinsters with kids and baggage.

Just being with someone
To not be lonely
Ain’t it
I’ve been in relationships where I was lonelier than by myself
What people fail to realize is
Nothing lasts forever
No relationship
No job
No friendship
Hard times
Good times
Everything could be going great
And life knocks you on your ass
That goes the same with women
Just because she is here today
Doesn’t mean she will be tomorrow
And that doesn’t necessarily mean she is going to do you dirty
People grow apart
Illness and death can take someone in a blink of an eye
The one thing that is constant
The world keeps moving
With or without you
Get into a relationship because that person brings something good to the table
Or
Makes you look at the world differently
Somebody that is willing to work with you
Talk to you not at you
Has a shared wavelength
And if you don’t feel romantic relationships are for you
Still enjoy life
Make friends
Be open to possibilities
But don’t be outchea trying to fit rectangle pegs into square holes
Getting in the wrong relationship can really twist even the best person up

It’s true you shouldn’t be in a unhappy relationship but from the tone of this thread a lot of these dudes ain’t exactly swimming in options but still have crazy standards like fat chicks. Everybody can get somebody and needs somebody. You don’t want to become the lonely 75 year old man without a wife or children constantly going to the same stores just to have human interaction.

...or should you just call it a life and be single for the duration of your life? I'm 2 months away from the big Four-Oh

And all 40 year old women, or women 35 and up to be general, just seem to have mad kids, mad attitude, and mad baggage. When I start talking to them and start dealing with their BS, I immediately long for, and go back to, the peace and simplicity of my solitude and bachelor's life

Fellow old heads speak on it. Have you found success in the dating game as you enter middle age, or have you reveled in your singlehood and found other things besides women to occupy your time? Youngstas chime in. Is there a certain cutoff point for you to stop pursuing love, or will you search until the end of your days?

Why entertain bytches over 30 in the 1st place???

I already accepted the fact that "love" isn't in the cards for me. Some of us have terrible luck in the romance department.

No it’s not worth it.
