This was me after 18 years. My friends were mostly picked by the ex because if she didn't like them then we didn't like them. On top of it I live in NW Iowa which isn't really a hot spot for single 40 somethings.Exactly.
I've been there recently. It's hard to put yourself out there, especially when you aren't confident in yourself.
If you aren't optimistic about your chances on a dating site then work on yourself for a little while. Take one hour, ever day, and go to the gym or go for a walk with your dog. That's ONE hour long TV show that you just have to skip. One show a day that you can do without.
Even if the results are drastic, you will feel better because you are DOING something about it.
I was single after 9 years of marriage and I had no clue what to do. I had no self confidence and I was depressed as crap. I started focusing on me, instead of worrying about my ex, and I felt better eventually.
Hang out with your friends more. I was somewhat alienated from my friends after my first marriage. I started hanging out with my friends more and I remembered how it felt to be myself. I'm a funny, happy guy. I had a blast tailgating and catching up with everyone. And if you're lucky, your friends wives might have someone they'd like you to meet.
But first you have to like yourself before anyone else can like you.

I did match.com and found someone I am very happy with. Took a lot of surfing and a couple dates that weren't as described (which I don't get) but ya. Happy.
Hey!!! I resemble that remark.Just saw this a minute ago and thought it was appropriate for this thread: http://www.theonion.com/article/div...ult&utm_medium=ShareTools&utm_source=facebook
Looks like it is an old one.
Hey!!! I resemble that remark.
I'm not a big fan of match, because there are a bunch of creepers out there. I think physical attraction is important initially, and with tinder I at least have some control over who can contact me online. If they're witty/intelligent, a date might happen. If they just want a piece of ***, off the list they go. I avoid the bar scene (people just looking for hookups) and my workplace doesn't have any viable dating options.
New member here and also newly divorced. So married 10 years and moved here following my two young kids. I got on match and really miss the real thing of meeting someone before wasting my name chatting with ladies that are not as described. Here comes the sad part - new to the area (don't know anyone) and work in a very small office.
I don't tan, shave my body or wear bedazzled pants - if you do, I don't judge!
So let me hear what others have done or are doing?
Well, it looks like after 10 years of marriage I am back into the dating scene. This thread has been extremely helpful.
Since the thread of a couple of years old now I have a couple of questions.
For those how has used online dating what site (or sites) did you find most beneficial and why? There are a plethora of online dating site and I am trying to narrow them down. Also, is there any benefit / advantage to dating sites which are free (OKCupid) versus paid subscription (Match)?
I used plenty of fish.

I did Match, had lots of 'success', if you know what I mean.
That being said, I think trying to get involved in some general activities like biking, volleyball, working out, hobbies, etc etc is also very important as well. If nothing else, it makes you more interesting to the people you meet online.
oh, and don't say 'chicks'. Apparently that is bad.![]()
