I know a lot of people are cool with it but I’m not a fan of guys 10 years older trying to match with me online. Whether it’s 30/40, 35/45, 40/50 there’s generally a huge difference in where you are in life with that kind of gap. I’m 32, have no interest in being a stepmom to teens right now, and want bio kids. Im not sure a lot men in their mid 40s want that. Im also super active and want someone who can keep up with my energy level, long hikes in mountains, paddle boarding, etc. At 30 if you don’t have kids, a lot of people still go out to bars on the weekends. All of those things to keep in mind. Not to discourage you from whatever you choose but to consider when making a decision.

For whatever reason, I don’t mind as much in person if a guy is 10 years older. Probably because we’ve met at an event or outdoor meet up and it’s easier to get a sense of energy and vibe. It takes a lot longer and a lot more effort to find those things out from matching on a dating app.

Yeah. Not to sound horrible but I’m pickier on dating apps now than I am in person. There’s things that I’ll overlook in person that I won’t on an app. For example, vegan on an app and I eat paleo? Nope. Vegan in person and I know there’s already chemistry or other things going for us? Sure. I mean maybe I need to be more openminded online but you’re already putting so much time and effort in and so many times you meet up and the conversation isn’t there or you’re not attracted in person, things you’d find out within a couple minutes in person. That’s my least favorite part of apps. So I try to filter out things that I know are generally in serious conflict with things that are important to me.

Guy here actively dating. It all depends on what you are looking for. If you want marriage ( 27-39), just to test the water, have a good time and recover from divorce, ether date below 27 or above 40. in my experience most women btn 27-39 are actively looking for marriage ( like they want to get married as soon as possible) ones below 27 sexual experience and above 39 either recovering divorcees or accepted singleness, they are open to taking time with someone

M here. I don’t know what it is genuinely that I’m doing wrong. I get barely matches on dating app; I don’t have the shiny muscles to show off on the apps, a 7 or 8 looks wise, great personality, and can easily to talk to anyone. I don’t know how to take the conversation out of the friendly zone to make a girl realize that I want to be sexual with her. Especially F 🐠s, would love to hear your POV on this as I’m sure you’ve encountered guys like me before. M 🐠s, let me hear your take too.

My non-Christian family doesn’t understand why I’ll only date Christians, or the dating scene in big cities, so they put pressure on me
