I am so new to this dating thing, last date was 31 years ago. I think over 50 do know what they want, and little time for drama. I must say reading some of the profiles amazes me how well some homely people really demand a lot. I'm not shallow looks are skin deep. I prefer honest and not conceited

What are the best things and worst things about dating someone over 50? Please share your stories and observations. Is it really any different dating someone over 50 than it was when you were younger? What about relationships? Are they more difficult or more easy?

Sorry so late to the party!

BEST:
Common Ground - not only did we play in the dirt, walk to school in the snow uphill both ways, we grew up in the national mindset. The cold war has the US somewhat unified and our concepts of family, community and nation were similar.

Common Body - With both being 'Over-The-Hill' we can appreciate quiet moments and serenity. While we are not 'fragile' yet we understand each others physical limitations.

"Hang on, I'm trying to put some thought into this"

Common Ethics - Since we grew up with the same ethics mostly our view on the 'young-ins' kinda match. They give us plenty to talk about.

Common Family Ties - We are begining to lose cherished family members. Our grandchildren take focus and become a common centerpiece. We can enjoy their simplicity.

WORST:
Stubborn - we know how to hold our ground.
Routine - Its difficult for us to break our daily routine
Picky - We know what we like and what we don't. Less likely to try new things.
Gullible - We tend to 'see' the best in things and it can bite us.

Men seem to get better with age but women get worried about their looks. I see the beauty of youth in their eyes and understand that age affects the body. I find that women over 50 have trouble believing this. Men are not as flexible and viral at 50 either but we accept it easier.

One thing that I have found that both understand is being alone. We know lonliness and we either accept it as part of life or we fight it and stay miserable. Those that are fighting being alone are usually desperate and it shows in their actions. Older people enjoy their solitude but know how to also enjoy the right company.

Dating over 50 seems to have some factors that can be both good and bad.

50+ You are dating people who are pretty much where they are going to be. They might add or subtract a little here and there but they kind of are what they are. Like it or move on.

50 + They are probably a "package deal". They may not have kids that are ankle biters but many have Grandkids a lot more than occasionally. In the 50+ mix are parents of kids all ages and some have dependent siblings and even dependent parents so the "empty nest" is rare. If it is not family it is probable there is a roommate or a renter. And critters; dogs, cats, exotics, livestock enough to start and ark.

50+ They are health conscious but on occasion it does seem like they are subconscious. Obesity seems to be a whipping post and some of the worst are people with the worst nutritional habits. But you can't rule out the Big C. or Diabetes. What ever the Diets are a big deal so where dating over a coffee or dinner was romantic it is now more likely going to be matching where the eating habits are going to jive.

50+ The career issue is a biggy. Many are hanging onto their job (insurance) or business by their fingernails and the idea that you stay out for a romantic date or can go out on the weekend is every bit the issue it used to be years earlier. Many can not retire because of big time business debt and if you are you either wait or find a way to entertain yourself while they work.

50+ The sex issue does not go away. What many do not want to admit is the risk is actually growing faster in the Over 50 crowd than anywhere else. Granted you probably don't have to deal with pregnancy but the whole menopause drama AND the massive amount of miss-information about it and sexual desire and ability is mind boggling.

50+ Dating seems to have a housing issue. Part of that is the crummy market and how expensive home maintenance is for those who are past hanging off roofs and standing on ladders. And just the nightmare of moving I think stalls out a lot of relationships.

50+ Dating can be Been there, Done that, Got the T-shirt at times. Granted a few people want to be globe trotters but fewer can afford it, and/or have done more of it than they care too, and sleeping in their own bed is starting to have a real appeal. There are a few Gold-diggers that will use 50+ dating as an excuse to let the other foot the bill for vacations or visiting the kids then blow them off or want a travel mistress/giggelo but if you buy into it I kind of see that as buyer beware. lol

50+ Dating is probably better because at least at this age you have a few more options. Getting out your date is a mouse click away and you don't have to have a team of family and friends involved unless you want to. Usually you don't have to worry about Mom and Dad pressuring you to "Launch" , you don't have to rush into anything, you have your own transportation, you have enough clothes to do most things, and you don't have a curfew. Least I don't.

So far I’m not too successful, it might be because I am short and round, someday there might be a guy who looks pair that. I won’t give up. It’s important to share time with someone special
