So what’s the solution to successful dating over fifty?
I’d say it’s a combination method: go online and create a profile – be specific about what you want and truthful about who you are – and at the same time keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities in everyday life. Put yourselves out there. Join a club. You could also consider signing up for activities on Meetup. If you can’t get out regularly there are plenty of interest and hobby groups online, including on Facebook. You’d be surprised at how many people meet and date via social media. So good luck, and stay positive. There are many success stories and there’s no reason why you can’t be one of them.
How has your experience been? Do you think as a society we still have to progress more for acceptance in later life?
” Dating in the 50s is not a social problem these days. We live in a society that I feel is very tolerant of age. Today, bestagers, in particular, are allowed to live their selves like never before. I don’t feel socially restricted because of my age. It is no longer as easy as it was at a young age, because everyone has had their own experiences, has a solid character and solid ideas about life and partnership. The challenge is to build a bridge here, very, very difficult.
There is also the fear of financial exploitation, scamming, and unwanted electronic sexual attention
One point in which our society still has to develop significantly is the division as mulheres mais bonitas em Camboja of roles between men and women. For example, if a man goes to a restaurant alone, it is not the same as if a woman does. A man can move much more freely than a woman and is often more respected. It’s not a question of age, but of gender. Today women are still too far removed from equality.”

But starting out was tough. I would say just take your time and do not settle. A lot of women get lonely and say I can’t stay single and I need somebody. No, you don’t need somebody, you may want someone but you certainly don’t need anybody. Just take care of yourself and the right person will be there !”

But there are also a few pitfalls. It’s not uncommon for people to create profiles and upload photographs that don’t represent the truth of who they are now – photos from ten years ago before they put on weight and lost their hair.
