Maybe it's my online approach, but I find that 90% of the women I message, never reply back. I have heard this is very common. What I have found is, the women who message me are WAY off from what I am looking for. Perhaps the same is working in reversal, but I feel that I do have a lot to offer an attractive, successful person.
I do have the Tinder app, and I did meet a girl about a week ago, after a couple short messages. That is something else I have noticed. If there is too much time spent messaging or speaking over the phone, the spark goes out before you ever even meet. Now, I try to set up face to face contacts sooner than later. Still for me, in person flirting and dating is more effective. I am not sure if I am maybe just not photogenic, or maybe I am wording my profile wrong, but I am just not attracting the women I would like to meet. In person, I feel a little more successful.
I reality, I AM looking for a younger model. Perhaps not younger than wife. She was 8 years my junior. I have always gone with that international "10 year" rule, but everyone is telling me the new rule is "1/2 your age plus 7 years"...lol. I would have no problem dating a woman 10 ears younger than me, but I find that I am getting attention from women that are 12 years younger, and even 14 and 15 years younger. I have a "girl", that would love to date me. She's 20 years younger! That's too much of a difference, and I really worry that we wouldn't have enough in common for the long haul, maybe even the short haul. On the flip side, women that are my age or older, in general, feel MUCH older than me. I am still pretty playful, young at heart and somewhat young appearing. With that said, the search continues....lol
KML, I have heard similar things regarding the assets and inheritance. My attorney says, "this is the norm, BUT..". It is the "But" that worries me. I am working on coming up with a settlement as quickly as possible. At this point, Wife and I are never getting back together. It's unfortunate, but Wife still kind of haunts me in my dreams. It's sad, but true. I just need to end this portion of my life, and hopefully I will be able to sleep better at night.
