50 f4m over 50 between madison & waukesha

I’m on the verge of being done with men. Change my mind.

How can I politely say that trying to date after 35 has been fucking awful. I’ll be 50 next spring. I’ve been single, married, divorced (he had a gambling addiction and I was over dealing with it so I left. Gave him the house and walked away. I didn’t need that shit in my life.) I feel like every date ends up with me frustrated, irritated or drunk because I fake being nice for far too long of a boring conversation. It’s like a bad networking meeting.

Maybe I just don’t know what I want. I don’t want a fit, athletic dude- I’m definitely not an athletic person anymore. I’m old, i have extra chub and damn proud of every pound that I earned. I work long hours, make good money and love my career. That’s all I’ll say about that.

I get along best, and am attracted to, older men. Like, older than 50. No kids. I don’t have any, and I don’t want to meet yours. But I like good wine, good food and truly listening to the person I’m chatting with. I love comedy and animals and good hearted people.I lean blue but like guns. I drive a truck. I also volunteer and donate to those in need.

For the idiots out there- don’t bother responding with false promises to “rock my world” or “make me cum until I cry”. I have a dildo that never lets me down if needed. Also, calling me by a pet name and/or sending a dick pic is gross.

Young men are the most annoying. Filled with false confidence, but don’t know how to woo a woman with words only. But I’ll inevitable get 36 responses from 19-year-olds. Not interested kiddo.

The men I’ve met in their 40’s are not much better. Many have kids (hard pass), want to brag about their jobs (If you go to an office, I could not care less), or think they are a gift from the heavens (the gym
Is not interesting, Steve). These were the same guys smashing their pelvis into the ladies’ asses when we used to go clubbing. That wasn’t game you had, it was gross.

It’s probably me. I’m definitely not a 10. More like a 6. But I’m fun, love to laugh, love to listen and love fun! How do I present myself properly? Do I need a dating coach? Maybe a need a man to show me how to date properly. Is that a thing? Or is it time to get 20 cats and just give up like so many women before me?
