Iconcurwith Nathan that, unfortunately,online dating prospects aren't all equal and older women are going to have fewer alternatives. But so what? You can't base your entire sense of self-esteem and self-worth on what some strangers think of your picture. I am realistic enough to know that for the vast majority of guys in the internet dating world, a 33 year old Asian woman is at the base of the desirability scale and in their eyes, I have less cache when compared to a pretty 20-something.

I'd say, just keep at it and also don't close off any medium, but merely do not take it personally at all.
I empathize with the frustration women have experienced with online dating. I am 33 and feel like I am too old for it and have aged out of the system too, after seeing almost all of the men I desire overlook me for women in their 20s on these websites (and no, I really don't simply hold out for 10s-even the 7s and 8s will go for the 20-somethings as well). I have occasionally considered giving up online dating when I turn 34, since I've heard what a nightmare it is for women in the mid-30s (and have seen for myself how the interest is declining with each passing year).

There is plenty more here, as I found when I first came here over a couple of years ago; in fact, compared to some of what I read about my generation of men (baby boomers) here, that one is completely mild and benign. I have read a lot more hateful invective on this particular site, couched in rhetoric computed to be as offensive, inflammatory, hurtful, degrading and emasculating as possible, aimed at ALL (a frequent affirmation) men in my age group. The writers of this pot of hater-aide? Only the young thirty and forty something women fed up with the advances of creepy old men"? Nope; the women of my very own generation, for the large part, sometimes egged on by young men like Nathan, who seems to believe his generation devised concepts like introspection, self awareness, and personal advancement, along with pretty much everything else (see his self serving, patronizing little discussion on old Boomer guys" below). Note how he follows up with this little gem, The age and picture driven nature of online dating makes it more difficult for Boomer women to shine, regardless of what they do." Of course, the unspoken assertion is the fact that Boomer men have no such difficulty, and if they do, they deserve it. I beg to differ. The ones of us who will actually date women in our own age group, are automatically rejected online (without even a profile view) by most of the exact same women, who now feel entitled to men from 15 years younger to no more than 2 years older than themselves (or so say their online profiles). Let a guy express interest in virtually any woman younger than himself, and he's promptly labeled a creep, a pervert and a dirty old man; yet women like Ellen come here, can not resist bragging about dating guys 17 to 22 years younger than me" and the chorus of applause from the distaff side is deafening. Pot, meet kettle!
I have determined if my bf and I break up (God FORBID as I'm really in love with him) I will not return to online dating but will give celibacy a shot. Relationship after, say, 58 or 59 ISN'T worth the effort imo. Perhaps 'cause eventually you are stuck with all these bitter, old, paranoid,hypocritical boomer men.

And intend to dwell together sooner or later in the foreseeable future. So my dating experience can be best summed up by the old standard Just in Time". Listen to the Streisand version circa 1965.
The funny thing is both me and my current bf ONLY dated younger for the most part when online dating. He said it was vanity on his part and I told him I did it'cause I could (get away with it).

I 've exactly the same observation. Andrew. For awhile I was amazed at women's profiles with their shopping list of demands (do not contact me if...you must be blah blah blah....""with no statement of what they have to offer. Certainly a man can collect much about a woman from reading her profile, and women in many cases are so inundated with responses from poor matches that they become exasperated and begin to set boundaries; yet for me this language indicates an attitude of entitlement and self absorption, and indicates perhaps an assumption that she's the more desired one in the deal. Perhaps women are used to being pursued. A more sensible mature woman will understand that relationships are not just about her and her needs.

Men over 45 do have more choices regarding dating. But there are ways around this. First, a woman has to specifically state what she offers a guy (that he needs) in the context of dating and relationships. I have read a large number of female profiles (35-55 years old) and nearly not one of them really say what they offer a guy. Normally, itis a record of demands and choices. This isn't good marketing. A female should be able to answer the question What do I offer a guy that he desires?" If she does not understand, (or is offended by the question) she's not ready for dating.
Kathleen, I am an older guy and many women on line in my age group make out they are not interested in the younger men. But of course they are. It's merely that all the younger men approaching old women are predominantly, looking for what they consider to be the fastest way to get easy sex.

I picked women in my own date range and attractiveness range. Merely to check I wrote to rather older women and less attractive than myself. Nothing. Got on Tinder and swiped practically every woman. Attempted all types of pictures. Nothing. while I speak to my female friends they say they're inundated. The sole dates I've had, 2, were from old pals who both told me they'd been fantasising about me for years but then they left it at that and infrequently return my calls. At Meetups women look interested however they do not answer. Simply don't realize this, it's as if they expect me to pursue them and I am loath to do that because the two times I did that when my union was souring permanently alienated good buddies.

It's as though going from the early 50s to the mid 50s is some kind of death knell for a dating life. I initiate contact with men in an age-range of about 3 years younger up to about 8 years older than myself. The possible matches that the website sends me are age appropriate for me, but when I look at the age-range that those guys want, (generally 35-50) I regularly go past them, understanding I can't compete with women in their desirable range, even though many of those guys are as much as 5-8 years older than me! To put it differently, knowingly sends me matches that are probably not realistic for me to pursue. When I have emailed some of those men, I don't hear back.
