Maybe just maybe at 50 we are smarter and set our standard a lot higher.Looks are not as much as they were when we were younger. Now I want to know your credit scores first.

well i am not 50 but getting there.. i am 43..i found my bf at work.. i went on the Internet and i had a lot of good prospect there.. all over the world.. but then again i am told i look like i am in my early to mid 30s..i had just got out of a divorce with a man who was not wealthy but we never had to worry about anything , but he was a bit of a control freak... i turned down allot of men my age and older who owned there own homes .. some even had there own company.. the one i chose was a man who was 12 yrs younger than me who had nothing not even credit.. but what he did have was a good heart.. so i don't think the person who said they have there standards set higher was true for all people.. maybe some but not all.. you can find them.. bingo.. church..social events.. family gatherings.. no i don't mean in the family.. but they do tend to bring their friends along and some of them are single

Now wait a minute. I turned 50 last year and got married all in the same day. Yep. I got re-married on my 50th birthday. My mom found my boyfriend for me. She works in a family law office as a secretary and knew him. One day he asked my mom if she knew anyone who would want to go out with him. Mom called me and asked if she could give him my telephone number and the rest is history. I too felt like I would never meet anyone. I didn't want to find anyone in a bar. I didn't know where to look either. Maybe God answered my prayers. Maybe he will smile on you also. Its' worth a try. We are coming up on our 1st wedding anniversary on July 29th. We dated for 8 yrs. before marrying. We know each other pretty well. I have 2 kids, he has 2 kids, but only 1 child lives with us now. Right now we get her every other 2 weeks. My kids are old enough to be on their own. Ask family and frends to help you find someone. It worked for me!!

Well, truthfully, there is nothing bad about online dating when it comes to any adult. As an online dating consultant, I help adults of all ages to find success with finding quality dates that eventually lead to good partners.
It truly comes down to the quality of the dating site, as well as the method that you use in order to find your dates.
I use the blow website for all of my clients who are looking for long-term relationships. The method that I teach them is to create their profile, and to immediately conduct a search for 30-50 people in their area that match their search criteria. Then, to filter through those to see which ones that they are attracted to. Next, start contacting these people online and chatting with them to get to know them. You should be able to decide which ones seem interesting to you, and will put those on your "Date" list. When you have seven of them that you would like to meet in person, start setting up dates with them!
It won't take long for you to know whether or not you have chemistry with the men once you start dating them in person. However, if the first seven should prove to be not for you, then you go back and build the next list of seven individuals that you would like to meet in person!
This method has proven to be extremely successful with my clients finding good dating matches for themselves, and have led to many of them pursuing long-term relationships with them!

Join a socials group, maybe volunteering, or organizing your own events. If you're gonna stick to searching on the net it may take you longer to meet someone.

There are lots of options. Go to the grocery store, the coffee shop in the mornings, church, dance classes, clubs, arts festivals.

There are certainly alternatives however the internet
certainly broadens / increases the scope of your search.

Because we don't go to clubs (too loud) and we don't troll bars (not dignified) and we need our naps. ZZZZzzzzzz
