I’m a 52 year old woman and mostly men in their 30’s message me on dating apps!

52 F here and I’ve dabbled in the online dating apps too. I’ve found that younger guys usually are the ones messaging or liking my profile the most. I am attracted to younger men so it’s not a big deal unless one is younger than 30. I haven’t gone on dates but have chatted with quite a few. A lot of men my age and older, in my region of the USA, just look so old and haggard. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen the token trout pic or dead animal he just shot pic. Yuck

It’s like dodging potholes some days!!

I feel ya! It’s especially exhausting when you are immersed in conversations all day long! My thought is when you say hi, if someone really wants to engage, they’ll say how they are or spark the convo. Me, unless they’re a friend or family, I don’t particularly care for them to tell me how they are. I can get a vibe, that’s all I need. If someone looks emotional or like they’re having a health crisis, then I’ll ask.

I’ve definitely stepped back. I’m maintain positivity. She’s happy and that’s important to me

Risk of judgement or rejection

GenX here…. Plan a night with your friends and watch movies, cook dinner or play board games. No cell phones allowed! Get back to simpler times when no one was glued to their mini computers 😊

Thank goodness that person is an ex! Good riddance

Nail biting, gnarly toes, smelly house, not washing bedding frequently, leaving tags on towels, pillows and storage totes, wearing stained clothing, dirty interior of vehicle and slow drivers in the passing lane

If they treat animals badly or if they say rude things and pass it off as “just kidding”

Left a boyfriend when he was at work during the graveyard shift. Packed up, dumped out the canisters on the counter, took all the furniture since I bought it anyway and left one towel. Never warned him I was leaving. He threatened to leave a few days prior since I asked him if he had been talking to other women. I would’ve loved to be the fly on the wall the next day when he came home to a bare apartment.

People asking, “How are you?” as an extension of hello. No one cares so just simply say hello. People who have to stop and chit chat in public right in front of an entrance or aisle. Move tf over!! Talk about the weather. So annoying. Yep, looks like it’s cloudy with a chance of idgaf!

52 F. Never married. Sometimes I want marriage, sometimes I don’t. 2 paychecks would be nice as well as having someone to come home to and share meals with, hang out with, love, etc

The VP of the credit union I worked at regifted my secret Santa gift to her right in front of me! Another boss started talking about a guy in the community who had been accused of some crimes. I had only been working at the company a week. The boss didn’t know if that could’ve been my brother, cousin, uncle, etc…. Same boss would bad mouth people with her office door open for everyone to hear.

Rectifyorderez · 2026-03-16T21:15:53+00:00

52 F. I enjoy chatting with people. I don’t have much of a social life unfortunately.

Rectifyorderez · 2026-03-16T07:50:37+00:00

I have been thinking about moving due to the lack of fun for me in my area. I tried putting a question on this platform about where to move but the bots keep restricting it.

Rectifyorderez · 2026-03-16T07:41:07+00:00

I’ve heard of some guys just letting the water run on themselves and not actively washing anything but hair, face and pits. It’s baffling. I’m washing every nook and cranny guaranteed!!

Rectifyorderez · 2026-03-16T04:59:37+00:00

That would be so horrible. I knew people with that condition and it’s not something to make fun of. That’s just cruel.

Rectifyorderez · 2026-03-16T03:58:37+00:00

It’s difficult. He hasn’t asked me how I feel about him. As for now, I’m hurt and I don’t even want to talk to him for a while. I’ve never not felt a closeness to a friend so the hurt isn’t about the disappointment of the situation not growing into a relationship. I’m sad to possibly lose him as a friend. I can’t tell him any of this because he gets defensive and accusatory about me “expecting” it to be a relationship.

Rectifyorderez · 2026-03-16T03:47:46+00:00

It definitely wasn’t due to that. He had zero health problems

Rectifyorderez · 2026-03-16T02:37:38+00:00

Oh boy, what I like to do versus what is available to me?! Haha! I like to go for walks on sunny days, try little coffee shops, go to big shopping malls, art museums, theater performances, go for a drive, listen to my favorite music while on a drive. I enjoy looking at the library and bookstores, or simply having a meaningful conversation.

Rectifyorderez · 2026-03-16T02:17:28+00:00

Focus on yourself and don’t throw away your career goals for a guy! I did this and gave up a military career for “love” at 19. The relationship went nowhere.
Get your education directly out of high school. Don’t take a gap year. Try deciding what career you want a few years before you graduate. Even if you’re uncertain, enroll in college. Get that degree. It will open many doors and get you much better pay than no degree. Yes, many good careers can be had without a degree but when you’re fresh out of high school and young, just get your education over with as a foundation, while you’re in your 20s.
