WAW w/Exit Affair or WW? - Divorced Anyway (6)

[BL42]

kml,

Consider contacting women who are one step down from who you're contacting now in looks. Some of them may surprise you and be more attractive in real life than their photos would suggest.

I've expanded my outreach a bit. Not a whole lot more luck. Honestly I think my area is not the best for 40 with kids.

It's a numbers game - you do have to contact a lot of women. Just don't do so with a generic hello that shows you didn't read their profile.

I've tried to be tailored and unique, but it's tough sometimes when there's not a lot to go on, and also gets draining after swiping so much without result.

Try Bumble, where the women contact the men? (Isn't that how Bumble works?)

I joined Tinder, Match, Bumble, Hinge, and now FB dating. Tinder seems awful, strewn with fake and trashy profiles. Match is a bit better but not nearly the number of profiles. Bumble and Hinge seem to be the classiest/best options. FB Dating is frustrating because despite setting my range close and as a strong preference I still get profiles popping up from several different states.

Look for more opportunities to meet people IRL.

This is absolutely an area on which I should focus. I've done a lot of GAL but it's mostly been male-only leagues or hanging with coupled friends. I should probably try out some activities with a more balanced or female-leaning interest.

I can vouch for the disparity, having been contacted by several guys who look like Santa Claus

But consider the Christmas presents!
