Done with online dating

[stillvicarinatutu]

I've been attempting on and off to date using bumble / tinder for 2.5 years .
In that time I connected with 2 men , for short relationships . Other than them - no one got a second date .
I've been groped, a guy left a disgusting Google review for the date venue because I said no to a second date , and finally - finally - a guy I matched with decided that what I needed to see every morning and every night was him getting his kecks off /on and watching his cock jiggle around .
He I might add was 55.

I am now 50 and I really thought there may be a calibre of men online looking to date , with nice old fashioned values and morals and not just wanting to shove their dick in my face morning and night .
Apparently not .

So singledom. Here I come and here I stay .
My neighbour did a ouija board and told me she got a message - my name *- stop dating - bad people everywhere. Haha. Even the bloody dead have given up on me 😂. (Although apparently I'm gonna meet someone over drinks which is highly unlikely but they did say he was in my profession just a different dept if you believe in that sorta thing 🤷🏻‍♀️).
Not sure myself but was terribly specific . Can't see how tho I never go out - occasionally with neighbour, stopped doing work nights out years ago .

So it's a date for one binge watching lucifer and a bottle of Pinot! With my dogs .

I give up . Finally . Concede defeat .

I'm genuinely puzzled why men send dick pics, unless it is to offend.

Don't they realise that is the least aesthetically pleasing part of their anatomy. In photographic form it's about as attractive as nasal hair.

They are the modern day equivalent of the old man who flashes at teenage girls in the park. Hardly desirable. 🙄

It has made me heave when ive been sent them.

I've met a guy through work, and I met one at a party recently. (I'm 50.) They are both lovely, one a few years older, the other a few years younger. So traditional methods still work.

I try not to be too invested in the apps. I was expecting it to be bad from my own previous experiences and friends. I've spent more than enough time single to know I'm absolutely fine on my own, so any man needs to enhance my life or sod off. At least I'm getting a stock of funny stories out of it.

I'm mid 50s and been single for over a decade. OLD was just awful for me. I only ever seemed to attract unkempt much older men. I'm really not interested in dating a 75 year old. No dick pics thank goodness but some absolutely terrible dates.

As a single mum my going out time is precious to me. I don't want to waste it on a terrible date. I stick to time with female friends and am fine. Plenty of laughs and spa days!

Thank you. It has put me off OLD for sure. I deleted my profile. God know what he would have done if i had been stupid enough to meet him in the park!

I'm a youthful 56 and I rarely fancy men my own age. Most don't seem appealing, either physically or emotionally. I don't like beards or shaved heads. I don't fancy younger blokes, either.

The best sex I ever had was with another woman. Most of my male lovers have been selfish, lacking in imagination/technique or hindered by alcohol.

But I don't fancy women. I can't imagine falling in love with a woman, but who knows?

My longest relationship was with a man I met on Match, so I know OLD can work. But I don't know if I can face putting myself out there again, selling myself like a product. I did it briefly last year and it was grim.

I'm increasingly invisible nowadays, but I don't mind. I like being middle-aged!

As a young woman, the obsessive pursuit of love meant that I neglected to nurture friendships. I'm focusing on those now. If love happens, that would be a bonus.
