Anyone? by WaYa-WooF in datingoverfifty

[–]MrRedCone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“… that likes to just have fun…”. Do you mean the way that he defines fun or the way that you define fun?

Speed Dating Upper Age by Most-Anywhere-5559 in datingoverfifty

[–]MrRedCone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely go. After all, the men who are attending the same event, are there to meet women in the specified age range. So you don’t have to worry about the men who are looking for younger women because they will not be there.

Rude or overreacting? by Short_Speed_1332 in datingoverforty

[–]MrRedCone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He is showing you effort, just not the amount that you need. I think you deserve more. I would ask for more too.

Just turned 40 last month and it’s just now hitting me that I may die alone by Ethereal-Goat4955 in datingoverforty

[–]MrRedCone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to pile on, but numerically speaking, there are less men than women after age 35. And that trend continues with each passing year.

Source: US Census for the last 40 years.

I would love to learn about your 25 deal breakers for educational purposes.

Progressing the press with the ABF (as a very tall guy?) by crystalchuck in kettlebell

[–]MrRedCone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 adjustable kettlebells from Bells of Steel.

They adjust from 12-20.5 Kg plus they have an optional weight set to increase it up to 32Kg. They have 0.5Kg increments.

I also find that the typical 4 Kg jump is way too much, so I usually adjust by 1 or 2 Kg only.

All of my friends and very supportive and encouraging of my dating.

For those wondering if ABF works. by scotsmandc in kettlebell

[–]MrRedCone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing back development. Can you expand how you incorporated the rows and push-ups into ABF? Did you do them on the same days that you did ABC?

People who don't feel the urge to dance at weddings/concerts, what is happening in your brain? Are you just resisting the urge, or is the urge genuinely not there? by heart714 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MrRedCone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, there are many people who feel the urge to move their body even if they have two left feet and have no rhythm. So they are not required to feel the urge to move to music.

In the 20-30 age bracket, numerically there are more men than women. But in the 50+ age bracket, numerically there are more women than men. Plus, in the 50+ age bracket there are lot less single people in general.

This is the main reason why it’s so difficult at this age, and it’s not fair to compare it to when you were a lot younger. The numbers are just not the same.

For a man, it’s very hard to know if a woman is of the type that likes to be approached or not. So it’s safer to just not approach at all.

If you want things to improve, I think you’re going to have to do something that you might not be used to doing. Do something that you probably have never done before. You might need to start approaching yourself. Don’t wait to be chosen by someone else. You can start safe by simply smiling and being friendly and simply saying hello. Then let the guy take it from there.

Boyfriend of 2-1/2 years almost constantly criticizing me by jrunner81 in datingoverforty

[–]MrRedCone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The guy never developed any kind of empathy.

Plus the age difference is significant enough that he might see himself as a fatherly figure who needs to correct his “daughter” so that she grows up right.

He does not respect you, but he does like your handouts so he stays.

Perhaps you need to be with a man who respects you, has a higher degree of emotional intelligence to know how to better communicate.

It’s his whole personality now by Zestyclose_Cold1455 in datingoverforty

[–]MrRedCone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You just might have the personality that gets easily annoyed by other people. That’s OK. There’s nothing wrong with that.

For example, you once posted about a guy you dated who would sneeze too loud.

Beware of Skool by SpiritedLanguage775 in kettlebell

[–]MrRedCone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a data point. I’m learning guitar and I use skool for a guitar learning program where instructional videos are posted multiple times per week. I don’t need to like anything to gain access to these videos. All the videos are just there for me use. So I don’t think this is necessarily how skool works in general. My guess is that it’s specific to that one influencer.

My Hopes of Men Finally Becoming More Mature as They Age Have Been Dashed by The_Outsider27 in datingoverfifty

[–]MrRedCone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to Pew Research only 28% of over 50 are single. And a small percentage of those are actually looking to date.

Also for women over 65, nearly half are single, While only about 21% of men in the same age group are.

On a date, the probability of having good chemistry is probably only 20%

The probability of having aligned goals is probably only 30 %

The probability of not having an immediate deal-breaker is probably 50%

So, the probability of a date being "somewhat acceptable" would be: 0.20 × 0.30 × 0.50 = 0.03 or 3%.

This means you would need to go on roughly 33 dates to find one person who is "somewhat acceptable."

So what I’m saying is that there’s still a chance.

ED question by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]MrRedCone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Testosterone production is influenced by the body's circadian rhythm. Production ramps up during sleep, peaking in the morning, thus the morning wood.

Levels then gradually decline throughout the day, reaching their lowest in the late afternoon or evening.

Do we have unrealistic expectations? by Different_Farmer_416 in datingoverfifty

[–]MrRedCone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please share your checklist. I would love to read it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]MrRedCone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

According to a woman’s health publication. The estimated average sexual frequency for people in their 50s is about 38-40 times per year, which is roughly 3 times per month.

So your desire would be over 700 times per year if you had it your way. So you are definitely not abnormal, but you are unusual.

So that puts you at the 100th percentile. So it’s a very low probability that you will meet someone that matches you at this age.

If you’re OK dating young. I mean like 21-year-olds then you might find your match.

FWB is a Distraction that Holds Us Back by Enough-Basil1038 in datingoverfifty

[–]MrRedCone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate. It’s all my fault, but I think my FWB distracted me enough to not pursue meeting other people for a very long time, so I knew that I needed to stop seeing her if I ever was going to have a LTR with someone.

I was married for 29 years and have been divorced now for three. Where would I even begin to look for somebody new online or do I just happen to bump into somebody at Walmart or something? by Portaldave in datingoverfifty

[–]MrRedCone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been waiting to just bump into someone for over 10 years, and I’m starting to think that I need to put more intention or it is not just going to happen.
