What exactly are single men over 50 looking for in a woman? I tried online dating and found it to be disheartening. Maybe I’m crazy and shouldn’t expect intelligent, attractive, successful men to contact me. I mean I am no longer the super slim twenty something and I have a few wrinkles around my eyes. If I believe what I read and see in the media it’s time I accept finding love when I’m just 2.5 years away from 60 is hopeless.
I lack serious human connection. Making friends at this stage of life has proven to be impossible. The places I made friends before my divorce are no longer open to me here in this place. Close connections are key to happiness and living a long life. I don’t want a short life. I want 50 more years.
My life on an unexpected path 
I’m 50, & have had lots of fun online dating over the years… I wrote some tips here called Cardinal Rule: Broken, you could read them? Keep trying- good women shouldn’t go to waste! Volunteering is a great way to meet like-minded kinds of people… good luck from here in Australia, G

I need to confess. There is a phone app called Facetune. It lets you whiten your teeth and smooth wrinkles. Although I do try not to overdo it.

Oh, Dede, don’t get discouraged. Online dating is the worst. I’m your age and I know how difficult it can be. From your picture and your posts, I’d say you’ve got a lot more going for you than most women your age. Hang in there.
