If dating past 40 is so terrible

I read a post on here the other day that said dating past 40 was “pointless” which got me thinking. I’m mid 30s I was initially waiting till my children had grown up to start dating again but hearing that dating for women after 40 is “shit and pointless” before anyone says it isn’t this isn’t the first time I’ve heard this. Would I be shooting myself in the foot? If dating after 40 is so horrendous would I be better off trying to meet someone now? It would be more difficult but I guess I could make it work

It’s interesting as I literally read another comment on here the other day backing it up, I guess everyone’s experience is different but I read “OLD is dominated by the under 35s. Anyone who is looking to start a family or settle down is likely looking to meet someone in their early to mid 30s so you are left with those not looking for anything serious” doesn’t sound great 😩

It's not good from my experience but that doesn't mean you can't have a positive experience.
