Online dating has never been worse

45? Isn't that a little young?

What's wrong with 65 year olds? Nothing sexier than a woman who can cash a social security check.

That was so funny that I forgot to laugh.

But hey, I know some people who met online and got married and are very happy together too.

Statistically, it's the highest rates that people meet their partner.

To clarify, when I speak of living arrangement, I mean a whole host of things that do not make it condusive for me to meet or take out women for a date. For example, if your finances are in bad shape, you are generally poor and are working at a low-wage (relative to recent inflation/no raise to off-set cost of living costs) full-time job, and then you are also a caregiver for your folks, there is generally no time to get involved with anyone without it rocking the boat. It's almost to the point I would want a woman who could help take care of my mom/folks rather than even getting intimate. This is a small home as well and there is little area for even another person to live here. (Ie if it didn't work for my ex-wife in 2014, then I'm basically doomed "poor parents, poor low-wage full-time job, caregiver for parents). It's not a simple case like @needimprovement250, or your case where your folks have money/wealth and can take care of themselves. It's really bad.

True, my situation is pretty difficult. I’m juggling work and school right now, so I’m dealing with a big shortage of free time for anything. Since you mentioned living situation, mine makes it more difficult too because as I’ve said before, my dad is now retired and retirement has turned him into a hermit since he rarely leaves the house and in addition to that, my parents house is gross anyway. The carpet is 20+ years old with a ton of stains, the backyard is all dirt, and the bathroom closest to my room is dilapidated and has big holes in the drywall. Just overall, I have no free time to date and no place to take a woman for sex. Hotels would be my only option and they aren’t cheap in my area, that would quickly get expensive too in order to have sex on a regular basis.
