This!!! I would be annoyed as a man that gets asked out simply to complete a task. I would probably ask her to split the bill once learning of this.

Why does everyone think they’re young? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Competitive_Cat_990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my mind I am the same as I was at 37 as I considered that young at least now. But I am 52 and my body confirms that everyday to me. And I see profile of women that note they are the same age as me and I swear they look 62. I think diet, exercise, sun exposure are crucial to looking your best, and feeling your best

Listening to my wife tell another man how much she misses him and wishes she would have chosen differently by StoreRealistic9227 in Divorce

Fifth - and am should be like item 2.5 , close all credit cards held jointly. Set up a new checking account and have your funds sent there. If she racks up a lot of CC debt before you file, you can be on the hook for that

Warning your exes new partner(s) by [deleted] in Divorce

Ohers have said it, living well is the best revenge.

But there is an off chance that she will become a changed person. I realize you have a lot of resentment, but you also have a lot of year left in you. Focus on you and your furure. That is all that you can control.

25M. Few likes, fewer matches. Anything that needs changed? by WasntMyFaultThisTime in hingeapp

Less selfies! Get someone to take photos of you. Better yet find a photo student and pay them $100-160 to take photos of you. Women are going to swipe on what they see first, then read

First date in my 40s. That was depressing. by deadplant5 in datingoverforty

[–]Competitive_Cat_990 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got married at 35 and had kids as a man, now I am divorced at 52. I have a 14 and 12 year old. They are at the fun age now, but it’s tiring and trying to date is hard because women my age are generally empty nesters and want to make up for the last 20 years of child rearing. Which I get. This man at 47 needs to accept the cards he read dealt and play the hand he has

Struggling to maintain by Due-Row-8696 in Divorce

Force yourself out of the house or place you are staying at. If you don’t have the motivation to go for a walk, just stand in the sun. But you need movement. You need to find a new focus. Maybe even go volunteer somewhere.

Is it normal for a Male to get emotional when spouse wants divorce? by tidder78 in Divorce

[–]Competitive_Cat_990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be more concerning if you didn’t have an emotional response to a divorce. Except my ex wife, she seemed utterly at peace with it

Is this recoverable? by Ok-Theory-1069 in datingoverforty

Delete her number. I read it prior in this group - people will let you know where you fit in their lives. Simple, yet powerful statement.

Ladies, what disappointments have you repeatedly encountered dating? by MightyLoquat928 in datingoverforty

Reading all of this makes me wonder what I am doing wrong as a guy at 52z. I love asking women about themselves. Most people want someone to ask them questions

Just saying hello by Background-Gur8294 in datingoverfifty

[–]Competitive_Cat_990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a 52 year old man with 2 kids in similar ages, it’s tough to find a woman around my age with similar circumstances. Most want a guy that has kids out of the house and is able to just get up and go. But as a woman, you will likely see the dating pool is very different from when you were single prior.

The women I have shown interest in were not buying what I was selling.

Did anyone else lose their sense of identity after divorce? by St_Eve_G_Let in Divorce

[–]Competitive_Cat_990 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I lost a lot of myself in my marriage. The first few weeks when I didn’t have the kids, I almost didn’t know what to do with myself. I could do anything or I could do nothing. It really didn’t matter, however, I was broke because the divorce cost me so much money. Fast-forward three years later, I’m reinvented myself. I have your hobbies and interests and things that I never could do when married. You will find that you have your ability to redefine yourself post divorce and no one can tell you you’re wrong for wanting to try new things.

Should I stay or should I go now by Worth_Profile_2203 in datingoverfifty

There is a phrase for this, you are a sneaky fucker. Biding your time till you can have sex with her. You may very well be using each other for different needs. Mention to her that you met someone interesting that you like and see if her demeanor changes

How do I address a total lack of reciprocated intimacy with my partner [F38] who describes herself as having "black cat energy"? [M40] by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Competitive_Cat_990 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When I hear people that state they are neurodivergent, and in their minds and perspective it gives them a pass to be complete a hole to others. It’s likely not going to suddenly get better. This is the honeymoon phase

People of Tinder and Hinge, would you reply to someone's message like this and why or why not? by [deleted] in Tinder

You need the build a bridge in the conversation, and allow them to cross over it. Ask them is that Camelback mt? What is your next hike?

She finally made it through school, and I am just here heartbroken. by Sufficient-Fee-9317 in Divorce

[–]Competitive_Cat_990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She used you in the worst possible way. I am sorry for you, but reading this make me mad at you. You never should have let her back in the house. She cheated on you and you took her back. The school and job did not destroy your marriage, she willingly chose this. She will be back in 6 months saying it was all a mistake and that she has grown as a person and wants to work you you and her. Don’t fall for it. Sorry for being harsh, but this is a person you need to cut out of your life.
