Hello Readers, Linda here. Today I want to talk about men that are over 50, have never been married and no kids. From my experience, this has been quite the eye opener for me. I see many men on these dating sites that have this scenario. I even saw one with when the question is asked " how long was your longest relationship"? One guy said "less than one year" huh? It makes me wonder ok, over 50, never married, no kids and longest relationship less than one year? Oh, and it says he's looking for a relationship? Huh?
To me, this guy is just looking for a hook-up. He has probably gone through life misleading a lot of women and most likely he will die a lonely old man with his care nurse taking care of him. No wife or kids to care for him. Sadly, he won't realize this until he's too old to change anything and then he"ll be desperately searching for someone to be with because he will realize that he goofed up and will end up all alone.
Then I read their profiles when they are in there 70's and suddenly they are not to picky anymore and their profiles look to be sad because they are desperately searching for someone.
Don't let this be you.
For the ladies, be very wary of men like this on online dating sites. They will take you for a ride for sure. These men will use you and are most likely cheaters and womanizers.
I met my X on Match.com. He was divorced with no kids and only married for a short time previously. He told me he was never getting married again, but he changed his mind quickly when I had a job offer out of state and was going to move and leave him. 2 weeks later he asked me to marry him.
He was a good husband at times but most of the time he wasn't. He was a cheater and refused to be rid of his past girlfriends.
Now, it's been 4 years since I left the marriage after finally coming to my senses and oddly enough we are on the same online dating sites.
I read his profiles and it is just sad. He is so desperate sounding and probably now realizes that he really screwed up in our marriage. He now claims to do all the things he never did with me. Interesting.
Hell yes he fooled me big time. Ended up bringing me to my knees where I didn't think I could go on in my life but by the grace of god I made it.
He will most likely end up a lonely old man with no one to take care of him.
Hey, I may never get married again but at least I have family, children and friends to live life with so I will never really be alone. I have my children to care for me when I get old and that is comforting.
Ladies, be very careful of a man who sounds too good to be true and desperate. There is something wrong with that man. No one is perfect and everyone has faults and baggage.

uummmm i will have to disagree with you linda, This is why it's so hard for men to establish some kind of relationship ...many women are so shallow now-adays. There are many men and women who have no kids and never got married or there divorced. And there are many reasons why someone chose not to settle down or get married ( bad and good) That doesnt mean that person is a player or cheater. Im 53 no kids and never married. . That was partly do to a choice i made in my life , bad timing and not finding the qualities i want in my other half. Now that i am 53 and even when i was 43 i see tons of baggage from women in which i could not date. This makes it finding the right person twice as hard. Will i fond the right person now? more than likely not but one part of me tells me i saved the hassle and my finances from divorces and headaches.
Like lonely john mentioned don't be so quick to judge.
HI jmk - Thank you for your comment. I think at 53, you should be able to find someone with less baggage then others. I hate the term baggage because I think people assume it's kids. I lost my adult son two years ago and yes he had problems but it makes me sad to think that someone would omit the joy and love of kids even not your own. Having lost my husband and my son, I feel like life is too short to be so judgemental. I stand by my blog because I have met many men that move from girl to girl leaving broken hearts, maybe because they see "baggage". Everyone has some type of baggage, which could even be committmet issues to their love of money over "LOVE". Anyway, those are my thoughts and I appreciate your comment.
XOXO,
Linda

Why would you immediately jump to the conclusion that any childless man over fifty who admits he's never been able to maintain a lasting relationship with a woman is only a cheater and a womanizer? I'm 52 and the last relationship I had was with a girl I dated a few times in high school. Did it ever occur to you how crippling social anxiety and depression can be for a man, particularly when society ingrains it into us from a tender age that we're supposed to be the ones making the first steps? I'd personally love to meet someone who could make me feel like I'm a part of this world, but I know that will never happen. If someone takes the chance to put themselves out there, that's a huge leap for them. Personally, I doubt it's something I could ever do, despite pining everyday for someone to hold and cherish. Don't be so quick to dismiss them. You might be passing on a once in a lifetime love.
