    Once you hit 45+ all remaining “give a fucks” disappear and dating becomes much easier. This is a gender agnostic statement.

      True. As you age, you realize more that you need to find a compatible, complimentary partner, rather than one you destroy yourself to please/ complete.

      Inspired. I’m in the 45+ arena and just divorced after a number of decades together. I was worried about it until I realized that I (male) did all the cooking, cleaning and paid most bills. I paid for vacations, kids school events, groceries…. Even parenting was lopsided.

      So my first date was just this tidal wave of insights into the shit I put up with. The gal just offered to have me come over and cook for me this weekend. I know she’s not the one, but damn does it feel good to just have someone else care.
