I didn't realize how hard it would be to meet guys at this age. I live in a beach town. The guys I have come across are here for a weekend/week & are not really looking for a connection or to get to know you. Tried most of the apps. I have come across mostly scammers and guys with different intentions than me (LTR). Active in MeetUp groups. I am thankful for the new Girlfriends I have made. What would we do w/o them? I am convinced it is just the area I live in, which is about 2 hrs away from any metropolitan city. Anybody, guys or girls, experiencing anything similar? PS. Thru & thru I still have the "glass is half full" attitute that "my person" is out there.

What keeps you going through rejection, recovery or hardship?

I was in contact with a man for a week or so and asked him if his photos were up to date. He replied yes “2 or 3 years” old. So after a lot of back and forth he agreed to forward a recent photo. As we continued our conversation things went sour when I began asking questions: ie do you have children, ru single, were you married, why did you move? He goes ape shit and hangs up on me! I did text him saying “Obviously we are not a match .. However I find it interesting that as a “journalist” when the tables were turned you hung up on me!” And this is what he replied: “My profession has nothing to do when someone is insulting and disrespectful … please leave me alone.” I don’t know what I said that was such a turn off??? PS never got an updated picture…. Any thoughts?

before and after. finished this morning.

What would be your preferred way to spend a Valentines Day date?
