#DatingOver40
The accounts on the datingover40 subReddit would seem to confirm this: a horror show for intelligent straight women and easy pickings for straight men.
Honestly the more I see about dating, the more it seems like a Golden Age for heterosexual men. The bar is incredibly low. Treat women like they're real people with their own thoughts and emotions, like they're human beings worthy of respect, and you've got game.

The face you make when he doesn’t show up. I love it when men show me who they are earlier than later. Cheers!😀 #DatingOver40 #WhyIStayMyAssInside #BlackSkyOver40

It's not all bad news for women over 40. The ones from r/datingover40 who are finding partners are generally recommending staying off the online dating apps and meeting a LOT more people in real life. Which is a struggle if you're an introvert and in a small town, but apparently it can be done.

Dating over 40 is like shopping in a thrift store in a bad neighborhood. I said what I said. #dating #datingover40 #single #thriftstore #thrift

Dad Joke of the Day:

Did you hear about the guy that got hit in the head with a soda?

He was lucky it was a soft drink.

When you’re going on your first date in many years and you’re in full fledged panic mode and so nervous you might vomit on him, so you order 34 dresses to try on and your friends come over and vote on them for you ❤️ #dating #datingover40 #singlemomlife #friendshipgoals

Dating in Your 40’s is: ☠️

Dating shouldn’t be hard.

Remember Indiana Jones and where he chooses the Holy Grail cup… “you chose wisely”.

Dating feels like an Indiana Jones adventure where you need to make sure you don’t “choose poorly”.

Dating in Your 40’s is: 😵‍💫

So I’m scrolling through looking for a mate and what do I find? A sonogram pic as a profile pic! What!? Why!? Nobody is looking to be your baby daddy, nobody is looking to date your unborn child, why is this even a thing?
