Sorry your experience was bad. But not all of us in that age group are. Just as I know not all men in my age group are 35 year old 18 year olds looking to get drunk and laid every weekend-— still live with their parents.

I qualified my remarks by saying "unless you get really, really lucky".

I'm sure I would have been delighted to make the acquaintance of either of you two outstanding persons.

LOL.

You forgot to add "live in the basement."

I saw some rules for any single's ad:

40-ish...Really means...48

Average looking...Really means...Ugly.

Beautiful...Really means...Pathological liar.

Educated...Really means...College dropout.

Emotionally Secure...Really means...Medicated.

Free spirit...Really means...Drug user.

Fun...Really means...Annoying.

Open-minded...Really means...Desperate.

Outgoing...Really means...Loud.

Wants Soulmate...Really means...One step away from stalking.

People get happily married all the time. This war of the sexes stuff gets old.

Picky, nasty, selfish people aren’t going to find happiness in life, let alone find a mate.

I have two grown daughters and a grown son. All of them settled down with wonderful people while in their twenties. I have a grandson now. My middle daughter even got herself a rich and handsome guy. He’s as good as they come.

I’m a boomer, and I’ve been married to the same spectacular lady for thirty one years. The greatest joy in life is to put my hand in hers at night and drift off to sleep.

I don’t doubt that there are miserable people out there. I wouldn’t want to enter the dating market today either. But it all starts with what shows up in the mirror. And I don’t mean the physical.
