I’m a divorced man 5 years out, and read that men age out around 45—which was the age I divorced her. Mindset doesn’t seem to be helping.

I’m fit*, but under average height, have hair, but thinning (I’ll never go bald)—and while I make decent money, It’s not sugar-daddy level money. So success has to come through charm and chemistry.

Is there some guidance for this stage? Everything seems to be geared toward adolescents cold-approaching college girls in college-level venues, and 24-year-old paralegals at happy hours. I did fine in those places before online dating was what it is, but hilariously unavailable to me now.

I have a pretty good attitude (some down days). There’s not much more I can add to myself above some good old fashion companionship, but I’m struggling here.

Literature, posts, vid suggestions?
