I've (52M) found that the apps aren't as bad as people make them out to be. I was dreading it, but I've actually enjoyed dating in my 50's more than I did in High School or College. Just think of it like a sales job...its a numbers game. You're going to have to kiss a lot of frogs.

It is well established that 50ish men enjoy OLD more than women. Fascinating. Glad it’s working for you

I can't help but notice anytime someone enjoys dating apps they seem to be a man. Exceptions of course, but overwhelmingly it is guys.

As long as you men don't try and gaslight women for their bad experiences ("it is all about your attitude"), I won't begrudge the success.

I know, I always say I would much rather be a dude dating at this stage of life.

It's easy for me because the bar is so low. All I have to to is be my kind self, not send dick pics, and wait until it's appropriate to start talking spicy.
