A lot of things sure do change when you are over the age of 40, and dating is no
exception to this. You've probably found that it's just not quite the same as it
was when you were in your twenties or even your thirties. Maybe you were in a
long term relationship at one point, and now... you find yourself back out
there, a little older and a little wiser. One of the most important aspects of
dating over the age of 40 is the mindset that you bring to the table. If you can
still look at dating as a fun and enjoyable experience, and as an opportunity to
get to know someone... then you should be fine.
So, you have bitten the bullet and joined an online
dating agency, maybe two and entered maybe a basic profile. Hopefully you have
chosen a clever user id. 'Sal1234' is hardly memorable, but something like
'MustangSally1' or 'FranTheArtLover' certainly is. If you haven't then it is
easy to get another free membership offer. Here are some top dating tips for
women over 40 tips for writing your profile - these will make the whole process
much more enjoyable (and less costly) for you. Concentrate on getting the
'narrative' or 'About Me' section right. This is the free format area where you
write your personal essay. Effort here will pay dividends, cutting out the guys
you will not want to meet and attracting the guys who will are looking for
someone just like you.
Be imaginative here. Talk about unique and
humorous things that make you very interesting. Nothing negative, all positive.
Don't say, "this is my first time doing this." Boring. This means you're
desperate and can't get a date and no one gives a crap anyway.
While I
still haven't' met the "one".....the chances feel infinitely better now that
there are so many opportunities due to online dating sites, don't you agree? The
days of sitting home on a Saturday night because you're friends are all married
or serious are long gone, and if you truly want to meet someone great, all you
need to do is logon to your favorite service and start hunting for him! ( or
her..:-) And to make things even easier, if meeting someone who shares your
faith, background or simple cultural values and upbringing is important
too.....online Jewish dating sites make the whole experience a super easy one,
and a good one to check out if you do!
How about a picture with a horse
behind you? I hate horses but women love them (I have no idea why). Put a horse
behind you and you will get responses, I guarantee. My responses doubled when I
uploaded a picture of me with a puppy in my arms!
Don't give out too much
personal information. I made this mistake. Never give your home phone number and
always meet somewhere cheap. The price of a cup of coffee isn't so bad if this
chick has a wide load for an ass, find this out during a white linen dinner...
you'll cry. Trust your instinct, this babe could be a stalker or a gold digger.
Enough said.
Be careful of much younger women contacting you out of the
blue. If you didn't initiate the contact with younger females, be ultra careful.
They could be out to scam a sugar-daddy!
