Many women could say the same thing about dating. Don't follow Tiktok trends to see what prospective partners want. Be yourself. That will attract the kind of people who'll appreciate you. If you are dating a person who gives forth no effort move on. This. I don't need to see some girl give a book report of some book she pulled off the relationship shelf of the personal growth section at Barnes&Noble for her social media street cred to teach me why I might not want to date, why women might not want to date me, why I want to get laid, why I can't laid, why I do get laid, why I like blowjobs, why I've thought about tentacle porn, or any other bit of insight from a generation that thinks they hold the secrets of the universe on their TikTok channel. Here are my 5 reasons why ANYONE doesn't date anymore: 1) People are bigger assholes than ever before 2) It's not as easy to fuck your co-workers in 2023 like it used to be back in the good 'ol days. 3) It's not as easy to fuck your co-workers in 2023 like it used to be back in the good 'ol days. 4) It's not as easy to fuck your co-workers in 2023 like it used to be back in the good 'ol days. 5) Thanks to social media, guys can now just hop on Twitch, check out some woman painting her tits with body paint, jerk off and go to bed because they have to get up early and go to work...where it's not as easy to fuck your co-workers like it used to be back in the good 'ol days. |

If all one is looking for is getting laid -- pay for a pro. I'm 72 and don't remember the "good old days" you seem to. I never viewed coworkers as people to fk. I did have longterm relationships, including a 34-year-old marriage with men I met on the job. I was a journalist. Journalists, particularly young ones, have schedules that change every week and they may have to be in the office as early as 6 some days, and they may have to stay as late as 2 am other days of the same week. Journalists ethically can't date their sources or people they cover. Thus, they tend to date each other, and that's not typically considered a problem unless one is supervising the other.
However, on any job, if one is just looking to get laid with coworkers, that was a problem back in the day and is a problem now.
Meanwhile, I think that basically you get from the world what you think the world has to offer. If you think all people are assholes, that's all you'll see. If you think that the world is full of interesting, nice people who could become your friends or eventual romantic partner, that's what you'll find, too.
My advice to anyone who wants to find relationships again is to heal yourself first: self help groups and books, therapy, meditation, getting involved in activities that you enjoy (not activities that you endure only to find a mate) whatever works for you.
If you are bitter, angry, and resentful, if you think that the majority of people of the gender you're attracted to are worthless, then that's what you'll find in the world: people whom you don't want to be around. Your attitude will be driving other types of people away.
It also helps a great deal to be single if you are a male because most women don't want to be only a fk buddy. And for many women, a come-on of, "My wife won't have sex with me," is a red flag of a man to avoid. They figure either you're lying, you are too cowardly to divorce or you are so bad in bed that your wife won't let you touch her.
Meanwhile, women who want no-strings sex are at a premium and can snag fk buddies who are younger and better looking than they are. I've mentioned that one of my women friends, age 72, is able to get sex partners who are 20 years younger than her, good looking, and in shape. They are willing to fk her even though she's older, and while she looks great for her age, would not be someone they'd probably consider for a long-term romantic relationship or even a romantic date. Women who are looking for only sex only can get better quality hook-ups than men can.
Single older men who are healthy, interesting, and can support themselves are at a premium. They tend to get snapped up fast or to be able to play the field. I know some who've met their romantic partners via dating apps.I know more who've met their romantic partners through activities that both of them enjoyed. The men weren't involved in the activities just to meet women. They really enjoyed their activities and continue to do them even after becoming romantically involved with someone.

I know lots of couples who met at work and are very happy, so fine if it is your thing. Personally, there is no way on earth I would ever consider it. The idea of working alongside someone in a professional setting who has seen me with *that* expression… dear me, no, no, no, no. I would be at the job centre within minutes.

Work. It's really a shame. My first eight years of marriage I worked in light industry. Climate controlled, no heavy lifting. Nearly all our workers were housewives and ex-strippers. I avoided every possibility of impropriety, and there were a lot of possibilities. If I had only understood then what my spouse was like. So young, so naive.
Thanks to sexual harassment issues, many men have checked out of the work relationships. It's not worth the risk, and many women aren't happy with being ignored.

??I think that many women are happy not to be hit on in the workplace. It's really not fun to have men slap your butt or stare at one's boobs or make sexual remarks at you. While I have dated men I met at work, they didn't do anything that was sexual harrassment. We truly started out as friends.

Just simple fraternization is being avoided, because the lines have been So blurred. I'm not talking about butt slaps. A simple smile or holding the door open, much less going out for lunch or a drink after work with the women in the office is all off limits for some guys.

Fraternization becomes flirting, flirting can be brought to HR as sexual harassment to use as leverage for promotion or a severance package to fend off a lawsuit and removing the person involved in the lawsuit demonstrates "diligence" by the employer. No guy fired for previously acceptable courting will do it twice. No one who saw or knows someone who underwent this knuckle-rapping will try it either. Thus, the workplace is forever closed off as a source of romantic partners. In this example, it's ambiguous, but chilling if the harassment claim was used as a weapon: rapidlearninginstitute.com/blog/if-you-were-the-judge-was-it-mutual-flirtation-or-harassment/It is by no means the best example or an uncommon one. Work at work, and do not date your co-workers. Ask him/her out at your going away party. |

Am I the only person speculating about an industry which employs a combo of housewives and ex-strippers? |

A simple smile or holding the door open, much less going out for lunch or a drink after work with the women in the office is all off limits for some guys. Gosh that’s very sad. I love a door opened for me which is universal where I live. As is allowing a female ahead through a doorway first. To the best of my knowledge males also enjoy demonstrating this courtesy to ladies whether they are 9 or 90- it isn’t a sexually charged notion, not patronising or patriarchal. I certainly socialised my son to behave in these ways. Very different is uninvited touching. If some arsehole slapped my bum I’d call the police. |

I'm getting better at going "blue on blue" during texts. Once I get the "I don't have time to talk, just short texts" I know I've been 'friend zoned' and remain at peace with having my freedom to do as I please. While moving on to someone else. You are right in your thinking. I have started doing the same. If a woman does not have time for a short online conversation then she will not have time for dating or a relationship. A while back a woman messaged me. We had a few conversations and I ask her about having luck forming a relationship with men at the site. She complained that men messaged her but things never went anywhere. I soon learned why. Her messages were always short and days between. She volunteered work on a parkway. It was all she talked about and when I tried to make time for a meetup she was always in the middle of some project that had to be done quickly, even on the weekend she had to be at the parkway to collect fees. She really had no time for anything else. If a woman is not equally interested in doing the legwork to make it happen, best to just write her off and move on. What is "blue on blue"? The other week I went to a restaurant to meet with a group that was there to dance. Someone came up to me immediately and played " peek a boo" tapping me on the shoulders and dissapearing behind my back!! it was a woman named Sheryl who I've known from dance lessons. I also know that when I first met her she also was meeting David for the first time. They are both older than I am, and they started dating, so I keep my distance. Over the last 6-8 months they no longer show up dancing together, and David started showing up alone, and then stopped coming to Dance lessons . Sheryl was having dinner with her sister and BIL. I got introduced and danced several dances with Sheryl. She later texted me for 3 days telling me how much she liked dancing with me, dancing again, and when she was planning on going dancing again! But here's the thing, she also told me " I've been doing a lot of traveling, going oversees on cruises, I've been playing pickle ball with my friends ( all older women - the pics are on fakebook) I've been busy with my grandkids". David still works full time,and does some travelling with his job, sounds like she has little time for a man, but likes the attention. more bread crumb feeding. |

This video was pretty spot on .... I think why there are so many bad marriages because some jump too soon to just get out of the dating market. People IMO are more shallow and unrealistic then ever ... not sure if it is Social media/ movies or what ever.... i think i would move up the one she had at 4 to number 1....the must meet some fictional list of requirements....of physical items and income etc. No. 4 unrealistic expectations! A couple of days ago I went to bar/restaurant for the first time. Much younger crowd their! Live band, they played "Slow Ride" by Foghat, "Brick house" by the Commodores. It was a packed crowd, standing room only, a little room for dancing, 99% of the crowd was "standers- people with a drink in both hands barely swaying back and forth no moving of the feet, taking up precious dance space". One woman was dancing, she knew one move, over and over again, and seemed very much into herself not looking around the room at all. Lots of women with other women. ( looking to meet their 1% 666's ? ) A few couples, he seemed nervous and lost being near a dance floor! The band leader had to instruct the crowd to " start talking to each other, meet a stranger, exchange phone numbers, ask someone to dance, buy more drinks, tip the bartender, buy more drinks ( did she mention more drinks!?)" No one seemed to be listening to her advice. Never mind how extremely loud the music is, how do you talk to anyone, when it's so loud? Or dance with a woman who has a full drink in her hand? The band leader got off the stage and started dancing with some of the women. I managed to grab her by the hand and give her an inside outside turn. ( I would have/could have shown that crowd 'how it's done' if she didn't have her violin in her hand, and need to get back on the stage!) It was an odd feeling being 20-30-40 yrs older than most of the crowd there on a dance floor, with a live band, playing 70's 80's music, and the crowd 'whooping it up' and no dancing? Dancing ( and dating) seems to be lost on the younger crowd. I stood and observed and left after an hour, then went to another bar/restaurant and danced with my known group of older dancers. |

Or.... is she telegraphing that she's active enough to keep up with you? That might be a concern for bachelors. |
