Lostgirl50 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Hi, looking for honesty here. Is there any hope for a 5o year old woman to date? I am fun! Like to go hiking, four wheeling, snowmobiling, etc but quite times too. Work in a office on the week days and have fun the weekends. Great sense of humor. Oh, been divorced for 2 years after a 25 year marriage. Any hope in the dating field ? Edited December 1, 2014 by Lostgirl50 Spelled words 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Eternal Sunshine Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Absolutely. My friend's mum is 55 and has recently made an OLD profile. She goes on dates every week 3 Link to post Share on other sites
gaius Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 As long as you're willing to date younger. Not sure a lot of the older guys would be up for all that. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
writergal Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Age is just a number. It's all about mindset! Whatever luck you have in dating depends on what you want from it. If you want fun and casual, you'll find that. If you want something serious, you'll find that. Online dating can be a real pain, just an fyi but it's one way to meet single men to date. Have fun! 50 is young! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Arieswoman Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Any hope for a 50 year old woman to date? Absolutely - you go girl ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
smg15 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 50 is defintely young because I help women 55 plus find employment and some of them are very nice looking. So you being 50 is definitely no issue for dating 2 Link to post Share on other sites
StalwartMind Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Endless times Yes! As has already been said in this thread, age is just a number. If you were 90 or older I'd say the same, there is everything right in wanting to date or find someone to enjoy your time with, no matter your age. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
smg15 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 well maybe I will give it a try in 2015, I was so convinced it was only for teens and college students 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BikerAccnt Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 As long as you're willing to date younger. Not sure a lot of the older guys would be up for all that. What? I'm 54, and I wouldn't date anyone younger than 48. So...I don't know where you're coming from saying us older guys wouldn't date a 50 year old. I won't go more than 5 years younger. Too many differences in life experiences. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Author Lostgirl50 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Wow ! Thanks to everyone who responded. You all gave me "hope" Perhaps there is alive after 50 that just does not involve going to work and home to clean wand watch tv. I believed there would be no hope of having a relationship due to my age and all the good one's are taken. I have learned so much from this forum. Thank you ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
2nd tyme Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Not sure where in Canada you live but there are tons of hiking groups on meetup.com and those that specialize in the over 40 crowd. Great place to meet fit and like-minded people in your age group. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Eighty_nine Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 yes, 50 is young! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JChristie Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 hi. first thing: it is never too old to date. My eighty year old mother got a new man after my dad died. 50 is still very young. i think the biggest mistake women make is to jump into bed too quickly. if you want a man to know and appreciate YOU, and not just your lady-parts, then don't go getting all germy together too quickly. if we are clear on what we want, and don't want it will be easier to spot it when we find someone with potential. also, keeping a positive attitude and continuing to develop your interests will put you in a good place when you do meet someone special. also, don't start mothering him and cleaning his house and stuff. unless you want him to expect this for the rest of your life. personally, i like a man who can pitch in on a regular basis. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
mysteryscape Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Absolutely not too old! I'm well over 50 and I can tell you that there are lots of very attractive (to me) women your age online. (Unfortunately, that statement does not apply locally, but it does apply in any big city.) In real life they exist too, harder to meet, but much easier to deal with than online. It might take a while to find someone you really like -- probably will -- but you absolutely can do it! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
FitChick Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Depends on how good you look. Men are still visual creatures when they are older. The better you look, the better man you are likely to attract. I also recommend going younger. As for younger men only wanting sex from older women, I guess they only want marriage from younger women. Link to post Share on other sites
BluEyeL Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 There is a lot of hope at your age, like the others said. However, because you've never dated since more than 27 years ago, you are in pretty big danger of being hurt, used...dating waters are shark infested. If you have the means, work with a dating coach for the first few months of dating. There are some who are specialized in older women dating and are not too expensive. I was in a similar situation with yours and working with a dating coach helped me a lot. And you should be willing to listen. Also accept it'll not take 3 days or even 3 months to find a serious relationship. Can take a few years, but with the right plan, it'll happen. It took me 18 months. Link to post Share on other sites

As for younger men only wanting sex from older women, I guess they only want marriage from younger women. I don't understand why these young men want sex from older women but want to marry younger. Why don't they get their sex and marriage from younger women? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
gaius Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 What? I'm 54, and I wouldn't date anyone younger than 48. So...I don't know where you're coming from saying us older guys wouldn't date a 50 year old. I won't go more than 5 years younger. Too many differences in life experiences.

BikerAccnt Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I'm talking about all the physical activities she had listed. What are you suggesting, that us older guys are a bunch of couch potato's who don't like to do anything. Some are, some aren't. I know a lot of guys my age, including myself, that are active, and would enjoy a woman who was actually interested and capable of doing physical stuff like snowmobiling. It's hard enough to find someone willing to go out in a chill, let alone the snow! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
evanescentworld Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 50 is the new 25.... My (F) Boss's BF is 43, and he was flirting with me in a playful way, in front of my boss...all innocent, adult and harmless fun....just having a giggle... but when he found out how old I am, he was utterly speechless. he thought I was at least a few years YOUNGER than him - and he's a health-freak! It's all a question of atti-choode! be young at heart, be fun, vivacious and give yourself a make-over.... I am well into my 50's, but refuse to prescribe to the idea that age has anything to do with being datable, desirable or delicious.... (Mind you, have you seen Tutankhamun lately? I admit I'd give HIM a miss.... ) 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Author Lostgirl50 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Thank you for that. I would like to someday be in a relationship but not sure if possible. I am so very afraid of being hurt again. It will take time. Plus being 50, time is not something that is plentiful. Thank you everyone for all you responses. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Lostgirl50 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Ha ! Thank you for the chuckle - I so needed that. It is funny you mentioned to give myself a make over. I had taken a break from wearing make up. I just didn't have it is me and to be honest I just didn't care anymore. Well, I started wearing it again. People noticed and coomplimented on how nice I looked. I was shocked. Mind you, I really have just been putting it on for me. Just to feel good, ya know? Again thank you for the post !

gaius Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 What are you suggesting, that us older guys are a bunch of couch potato's who don't like to do anything. Yes, in general. Was it really that hard to interpret? 40's-50's is a time where a lot of men start getting fat and dying off, the obesity rates are always significantly higher for that age group. They drop back to earth a little bit when you get to the 60's though. It shouldn't really be an issue if you're willing to expand into younger men though as I mentioned before.
