Hi Folks I'm interested in views on how you set your age limits in online dating. I know one might say "any decent port in a storm" but the whole thing is have angelicalyssa222 onlyfans phrase and mix.
I got divorced mids blindsided and haven't had much luck anyway - I'm pretty affluent and highly educated and so I do have issues that not many chaps match in those terms. I'm childless not by choice and when I started searched diligently for chaps either with younger kids still at home or with their grandkids - my view is that with a childless man it would be rather quiet to be two people getting older together. SO I'm currently chatting to a nice man lesser income but homeowner 5 years younger than me who has a 12 year old daughter.
I'd like to make a go of it with dating, but not sure if he feels the dating yet. BUT just been contacted by a glossier, more affluent chap early 70s, 10 years older than me, who I'm meeting for a drink later this week. Certainly neither is at the "this is a relationship" stage. But I'm just wondering what others think about the age difference with an older man. At 40 and 50 it wouldn't bother me, but once chaps start getting into their 70s do you think there is just not enough "mileage" left in it?
And what is "too young"? I started chatting with a 51 year old with a 9 year old daughter and he was keen to meet up. But I would worry that with a 10 year gap they wouldn't see it as long term and then I'd end up by myself again when nearing If you were to date someone childless, would dating a month of increase your options? Perhaps dating someone with children brings baggage. There are men who marry older women.
Think of Macron, they are click to see more happy together. So I'm not sure there is an age which is too young if you're compatible. I have a friend whose husband is 7 years younger than she is.

He has always been the lynchpin of the relationship. I'm more concerned about the 12 year old daughter. She's obviously had a tough time one way or another and needs some love and care, dating somewhere who is calculating see more best options.
I agree with what you say RosiesMaw. I pity the children caught up in this. My mum was widowed at 45y. My dad died just shy of their silver wedding anniversary. She then met my stepfather through work. They married when she was 60y.
They had 26 dating years together before she died six years ago now. There is sensible and there is calculating. I am glad you are careful, but you are so calculating. Also you are childless by choice which I respect, but why do you want your prospective partner to have children or Grandchildren, you can have a good relationship and do what you want especially if he has friends and is sociable.
I found love after getting divorced alot of years later, and I was not looking for it. At the end of the day it's the person that counts, not their age. I think 10 years difference either way could work. I have two friends happily married for many years to men 10 years younger than them. I know a childless woman in her late 40s who married a widower with grandchildren. She gained an instant, loving family that she thought had passed her by. We change as we age and illness can strike at anytime so you have no idea what the future may bring.
This is why you need to focus on personality rather than the other issues. Does he make you laugh? Is he responsible? Will he have your back now matter what? Is he kind? How's his relationships with his family? Could you stand being in his company day after day with nothing much happening?
Do dating love him? Good luck with your search. I'm sorry CLiz but I do find your approach very self centred. You don't mention dating or love in your post, just a 'diligent search'. I wonder how prospective partners view your search. These are their online profiles. The reality could be quite different.
I can't imagine searching diligently for a chap It sounds rather like househunting or researching washing machines. I made the decision in my late 50s he is 10 yrs older, both of us have adult children and no baggage, I get on well with his family, 5 yrs on were married. Keep your finances separate of course, if you have a house rent it out, you never know what the future will bring.
For goodness sake, OPyou sound as if you're buying a second hand car! Do you want the lower mileage model with a few bumps and scrapes?
The biggest obstacle for senior singles is technophobia.
Or the one with a prestige badge but more dating the clock? Make sure you check the bodywork for dating and inspect the tyres I would like to say you should get to know these men properly, in person and see how you get on but feel it would be kinder to tell both of them to run for the hills.
I did not meet my fairly new dating through a dating site but I'm certain that, if either of us had joined such a site and described ourselves accurately, the other would have swiped away.
It's not about affluence, home ownership, age or grandchildren. What matters is kindness, loyalty, shared laughter, a sense of responsibility, shared values and the certainty that the other person will always be there for you no matter what.

I hope you find what you're looking for. Callisemon21 I hear youthat was my mantra of dating being like househunting. I also did online dating 20 years ago. Is really a tad too far in my mind. Online dating is a minefield, you need to tread carefullyhave your wits about you. I met my DH online. I think you need to stop being so calculated.
