Nope not too late. I was married at 37 and divorced at 44 so you still have time to do both 😂😂 just choose wisely and don’t rush.

Recently met potential husband material just before turning 49. Now, there won’t be kids, but quite likely I’ve found a husband. It also helps that he’s a bit younger (by 14 years).

I hope not because I'm 46 and still looking. Lol

I feel the same way OP. A bit younger but I was so focused on my career early on and then COVID hit and now time flew by 😭

It’s never too late, but your stars need to be aligned for it to happen. With that said, you need to get out of the house and meet people in bars, clubs, parties, social events, sports leagues, interest groups, travel groups, etc. You will increase your chances of meeting someone that could be your other half.
Also watch out for behaviors that scream unavailability or immaturity.

Definitely not too late, I've started seeing a lot of good guys come available after relationships end in their mid to late 30s. Mostly cause they grew up from their 20s and became different people but they've got relationship experience and lessons learned. Biggest thing is you gotta be on the field so while dating can be challenging persistence is key. Hang in there!

@OP - Are you striving for "the perfect life", or something in the middle? Your age is not "too late", I am also 43 and single. The kids part is where you might have more of an issue between guys who do not have as much energy to raise kids, or the fact more gays (like me) have zero interest in children at any age.

The issue is so many guys in our community have Peter Pan Syndrome into their 40s and even 50s. Until one day they wake up and realize what they’ve missed out on. Cuts the pool of eligible men significantly.

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?

I feel like I’ve lost myself since joining McK. My whole world has become about work. I love my job but I’m not the same person I started and I feel I don’t connect with my friends and family the way I use to. I’m not sure if I’ve grown, or lost a part of myself. Is this growing up or do I need to make a career change?

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.
