Yeah, here in the States, we call them lesbians.

These couples only make it on the sickest terms. Sadist cracking the whip – meet masochist on the leash. A perfect pair.

When dating, the chick often makes the statement "well, I dont really need a man". I then ask "can you change a tire"? "Not call for a tow, but actually change it"?

Both my kids had to demonstrate how to change a tire before I’d turn them loose driving.

Daughter (~5’, ~100#) did it the normal way, using what was in the car.

Son cheated. He demonstrated changing a tire, using one of the front tires of the skip loader. Dropped the Gannon, then used the lift arms on the front bucket to raise the front end off the ground and used the air compressor and air impact gun on the lug nuts.

Happily married for 30+ years with mutual respect in the relationship. Smart, resourceful, strong,kind and beautiful lady.

I could not imagine being in a position to start over or have to enter the dating pool today.

A lot of these women are downright terrifying!

This is exactly how my wife and I married, we met in college first as buddies, then partners. And amazingly enough, this is exactly how my 26 yo old son met his girlfriend- they were best friends, then dated, then started to live together a few years ago. They both had boyfriends/girlfriends prior and both of them never used online dating, which is interesting in these times.

My wife and I love her like a daughter and my son is fortunate he got with her. It is a foregone conclusion they will marry, they're just taking their time; my wife and I lived together for 7 years before we married. My wife and I are relieved that he didn't get the girlfriend from hell in any of his relationships, and that this one is a keeper.

Had one date that I didn't even make it through appetizers.

A widower friend of mine says absolutely nothing but coffee first dates. They can be as long as you want, or as short as you need. He orders a double espresso shot. Says by the time he's done with it, if they're a nightmare, he has all the caffeine he needs to get the hell out of there with a quickness. If that video is any indicator of what's out there, I don't know how he does it.

I am a widowed senior guy trying to find a companion. I always start with coffee to get a sense of what kind of woman I am dealing with. Almost every time it is a liberal woman, even the Republican in name women turn out to be anti-Republican, anti-Trump! I am retired military and retired three-letter federal agency. I just listen. These women are clearly off the rails. Just today one reached out to me on a popular dating website and immediately went off on the Trump crap. I never, ever encountered this stuff when dating in the 1980s before I met my late wife. No explanation, just bizarre!

Not exactly my idea, started 5+ years ago. I became single, the division went rather well.

I’ve operated under the premise, ‘go big, or go home’. If it’s someone my age, may as well just hang with my dog. Anyone I contemplate with, I’ll mention a prenup. The idea being to take a few things off the table.

The one over 30 is 31.

Believe it or not, I’m up to my ears, 2 of the 3 under 30. I’m still in the heavy evaluation phase.

Here’s another thing. I don’t even care about the ‘trade off’, I understand it. As long as certain protections are in place, I don’t care if someone wants a step up. All I ask is you bring something to the table.

That something can be a handful of things, the list goes on a fair bit.

If it ever came to it , I wouldn't go looking for a companion . Women my own age don't interest me and I don't have enough money for the young ones to be interested.

That is one screwed up..entitled bitch who has no clue. Go back to your Starbucks latte frappe whatever...

The term “misandrist” also fits.

I've been single for over 11 years after getting divorced in late 2013. I am 53 now, but generally pass for younger.

I've had girlfriends, one or two of which I really thought I wanted to be with long term, but it didn't work out. I still date and enjoy the company of women but I really don't care that much to make anything permanent because there is always some immaturity or drama that I don't want to deal with long term.

Feminism, DEI, and leftism have really done a number on western women. There has been a significant breakdown in social rules about dating, sex, marriage, having children, and divorce. There are a whole lot of YouTube channels that explain this better than I can. Hoe_Math is probably the best of all of them, because he is clever and his hand drawn materials are entertaining. The "Whatever" podcast is fun, but pits conservative guys against OnlyFans girls so it's a bit extreme.

I almost exclusively date Asian women now, mostly those who grew up in Asia and moved here as adults. A big reason for this is I travel a lot in Asia for business and am familiar and comfortable with the cultures, and various things that make it easier for me to relate to and understand them. Perhaps my natural demeanor and communication style are more compatible with Asian culture. Anyway, that's who likes me, so those are my options.

Asian women are usually more socially conservative and not crazy leftists. Of course there are major cultural differences and they are not docile and obedient like some stereotypes, can be feisty and temperamental, and can get very jealous. But they also recognize that men and women are different, that we are good at different things, and that traditional roles are not bad just because they are traditional. They are feminine and happy being women and doing women things, and prefer men be masculine and do the men things. They care about their appearance and generally stay in good shape. And I generally don't have to listen to any bitching about politics, and they absolutely reject the insane "trans" silliness of the past few years.

By contrast the majority of American women are now leftist or RINO, have bad attitudes, unrealistic expectations, and think too highly of themselves. And sadly, many are obese.

Many of the guys here that are my age or older, married good women they met the old fashioned way, before the internet existed, and before the breakdown in social rules. For those that chose well, stuck it out, and stayed together through thick and thin, hat's off to you.

I'm single, date off and on, not very picky, just want a wife that has reason and accountability.

Also single for 11 years now, tho arrived here after being widowed. I should say I know I'm wired to be with someone, and never thought it would be a problem to find someone within 10 years who might be similarly wired. Damn, that was a misguided notion. The younger liberal ladies have flooded the market and have become experts at shedding men. The older ones are just tooooo happy not to put up with us. I'll add this to all the comments in the previous pages, after menopause sets in, just use CAP LOCK for the likelihood of trouble! Gave up on dating sites completely, I'm of the opinion it has to be organic, and another widower.

Though far from an original thought, it seems to me that the church is the place for older people to find a mate, even for those who are not Christian or who are not a member of a given faith.

Attendance to a Christian church would automatically eliminate a substantial percentage of the batshit crazy leftists. One of the tenets of Christianity is that for every man, there is a woman. Consequently, match-making is condoned- for those with right intentions, of course, and you know how some women love to do the match-making.

Then again, this is all theoretical for me. Perhaps it works out that way only rarely.

A) It does, but having faith would be a requirement.

B) There is a tremendous shortage of young people in most urban churches, except the mega churches.

There may be a mega church with active social programs and sound theology- I do know of one with good theology - but they aren’t really focused on community - just too large to do so.
