Is It Possible to Find Love After 50?
There’s a popular misconception that women over 50 are at a disadvantage when it comes to dating and relationships. Some say that men the same age are only interested in younger women. This is certainly true for some, but definitely not all men.
But on the other hand, I’ve also known lots of women over 50 who complain about dating men their own age because these men can’t keep up with them.
I’m calling discrimination and it goes both ways.
Here are some steps you can take to have more positive dating experiences at any age:
- If you want to attract an amazing partner, then work on being one yourself. It doesn’t matter if you’re overweight, short, older, losing your hair or are supporting children. There are good guys out there who are looking for positive, authentic women. There’s someone for everyone.
- Do the self examination and work to create a life so amazing there may be many who want to jump on the train and join your journey. Exude positive energy and it will return to you many times over.
- If you haven’t been asked out on a date in awhile, then ask a man out. If your dating site profile isn’t receiving any interest, consider hiring a coach to help you create an awesome profile that stands out.
- If you’re struggling with low self esteem, join one of the many groups or programs that will help you do the inner work. Learn to project a great attitude, warmth, approachability and authenticity. Above all, you don’t want to come across as desperate or needy.
In today’s world of technology and connectivity, women are more empowered than ever before but you must learn to harness it wisely. Complaining about it will only bring more of what you don’t want. Don’t fall prey to a victim mentality.
Ladies, be empowered. Go after what you want by being the best you can be. Take charge of your life.
P.S. Women over 50 are totally awesome and have a lot to offer. This can be the best time of your life – go ahead and live it!

Great post Jonathon. Since we are all living longer, and many will be dating and looking for that next meaningful connection well into their 50s and 60s, being the best you can be, be realistic about your expectations, don’t put everyone into the same ‘limiting box’, and be open to the possibility. You never know where the next love of your life will come from.
