Trust me when I tell you that people in struggling marriages go through SO MUCH MORE than single people ever do.

Social media has ruined dating.

People see nothing but blissful relationships, vacations, and happy families on social media.

People don’t post fights and problems and other turmoils usually.

So when they find somebody on a dating app and there is the slightest bump in the road or the smallest indication that this won’t be their “fairy tale” (fairy tales don’t exist just FYI), then they just get out an app and find a new chance in five minutes.

I don’t know... I am 100x happier single and dating then I was married.

Tinder, Bumble, etc... I’ve only had a few really unenjoyable dates. Most have been pretty enjoyable and interesting. Some of the women I have matched with, I still have arrangements with and a few I would consider friends with certain type of benefits... 🤷🏼‍♂️

I make it a point to be very clear that I am not interested in marriage and that a long term relationship would only happen with someone I have a lot of good chemistry and attraction with.

Especially at my age!

Not to be too cynical, but once you reach your late 40s you're left with:

women who must be lying about their age
women who cheated on their last husband (I wouldn't trust them)
women whose husbands' left them and for good reason(s)
women who left their husbands/partners for questionable reasons and are likely to leave you as well
"leftover" women no one else wanted (sometimes for obvious reasons, sometimes it takes a while to figure it out)
widows with late-great husbands you'll never hold a candle to
women who have histories and are still hung up on their exes
women who are looking for financial support or someone to raise their kids

Did I miss any?

I'm not saying it's hopeless, just more difficult. Good women (and men) get snatched up and stay married. I think the best one can hope for is someone who has had solid relationships that grew apart for good reasons.

Nope, I am happier being single.

A lot of marriage counsellors make their money because married people spend too much time on Tinder.

Online dating was an absolute CESSPOOL. I don't ever want to do that again.

Good luck, gentlemen.
