Is dating dead at 40+?? Am I filtered out on any app? Are most other guys over 40 just given up or all taken??

You’ve gotta wait for them to hit mid life crises around 45 and get divorced.

Nope, found my guy at 48. Of course it helps that he’s 14 years younger.

After 35, dating is dead. The number might shift to 30 nowadays with all the social media

My filter is 60 and over only. So you might feature on my Grindr grid in about 20 years

Plenty of Fish has an age positive vibe have you tried there?

Dating is more complex at that age. I agree that most men are either taken, have given up / made peace with being single, or they're still dating but they're oddly focused on younger guys. The latter I find questionable, but daddies are popular now, so have fun while you can.

But it is hard to be sure because it is difficult to find those 40+ guys looking for other mature men. They're not at the bars as much. You may need to find them at other events with more suitable demographics (think IML, folsom, lazy bear week), or while they're engaged in interests (volunteering, etc).

Not with that intent, but you can find them there. Open minded people with the same interests get a chance to mix and mingle, and relationships can form based on that initial connection. The same is true for other activities/events.

And just isn’t true, A2. I’ve never had a problem getting dates. After 40 or otherwise. It I think the venue matters. I met my current partner of 4.5 years in a bar. I was 42. And I still get picked up a lot when I’m out alone. But I’ve always steered clear of dating apps of any sort. Friends of mine that do use them are the ones who think “dating is dead” or “there are no quality people”. The problem, to me, is that these apps set unrealistic and rather impossible expectations in those that use them. If you really want to date, get off the couch, work out, and go out.

Yea it always seems like lots of opprts when you’re not single

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭
