    I rather have sex before I rush into dating

    always test drive the car a few times before you buy it

    Dating in 2018 is really complex, I've been divorced going on 6 years. I am in my 50's and certainly don't look or feel it. My issue is that there isn't a lot of women my age that I would date. I am established, I own my house and vehicles, have a job and have multiple incomes. Most women I meet are looking for a security blanket and to be 100% honest, if you weren't here to help me earn and achieve it then why in the hell would I want you around, especially if you aren't going to contribute to it or be exactly what I want in a woman.

    Buffalo nickel says you get a half dozen DMs just from posting that little tidbit of info right there.

    Actually nope not a single one. I didn't post that to get DMs, I was being honest and sharing my point of view.

    Wow, how did racism get cought up in comments about the opposite sex?

    Unfortunately via, the same road; that sexism did! Why do you believe, we've both a Black History month & a Women's History month because it all, relates to systematic prejudice & the recognition/change?

    Define good experience!.

    I met a few cool people, and a few not, been ghosted. I find the biggest issue is that one or both parties are just uninterested in the other romantically. it has been a few years since I was truly interested in anyone I met online.

    As for successes, I met a woman who is probably now one of my best friends on a dating app. went on 2 dates, but ended up just being friends, go out to concerts together, go to her place to catch UFC, etc. been good friends for 4+ years now. I hang out with her and her common-law BF now and then.

    I qualify that as a good experience. I guess everyone might see it differently.

    Only 1, I put that my favorite movie; was TMNT & a man sent me a message asking me which 1, which began a conversation concerning the entire movie/show history; including a show that I'd forgotten about!

    Lets see, just outside of Columbus Ohio to Halifax NS (about 2,200 km/1400 miles). We only managed to see each other in person 3-4 times,4-7 days at a time
