Am I too old to meet someone at 46

[Beautifulbridie]

Hi
My friends tell me it will be difficult for me to meet someone as men my age will want someone younger that can have children which had left me a bit deflated. I’m not a big fan of internet dating and don’t know where to start . I would appreciate any advice

Age is relative and you're certainly not old by my measure (I'm 51). We are all individuals. Sure, a lot of men will focus on meeting a younger woman if they are keen on having kids and others may just be shallow and want a young woman for the sake of youth. Me, if I were looking for a partner (happily married so not) I would want someone around my own age as I want someone to share life with, not be my carer in my old age.

There is someone out there for everyone. Don't sell yourself short by assuming nobody would want you, I bet the truth is anything but that. When you are in our age bracket most people with any sense have long since figured out that what's inside a person is what counts and the skin they're wrapped in is just packaging. You just need to focus on people that fall into the "with any sense" category.

The sort of age group you are looking at probably already have kids.
I met a 46 YO with 3 grown up kids and another 48 YO with 2 grown up kids.
They certainly didn't want anymore.
On the flip side met a 52 YO with a 7 year old.
There are so many different people out there.
And I'm 49 and starting again (again, again)
Why the hell not?
I enjoy getting out there and dating.
Tinder works for me. Free and you don't talk to anyone if you both don't 'like' each other.
And you can unmatch with anyone who you don't actually don't want to talk to even if you have matched previously.

My mother in law met the love of her life in her mi d 40s after a dv marriage, they were honestly the happiest couple I've known until his death 2 yrs ago.

Thanks everyone I feel much more positive about my prospects now
