Dating in midlife requires a good bullshit detector, a big dose of patience, and a healthy sense of humor

Dating in midlife is not for the faint of heart. I’ve been listening to many friends over the past few years who found themselves suddenly single and decided to dip their toes into the dating pool again. Let’s face it, a LOT has changed, including how we meet the people we date. Most of these meetings happen online, a place where it’s easy to deceive others into thinking that you are someone you are not. Often, when the date does show up in person after an online courtship, women realize this man was not who he said he was. In short, women in midlife must kiss a lot of frogs on their way to finding their prince, if they’re even looking for a prince, that is. In this episode, I speak with two savvy midlife daters who share their journey to love and everything in between. From the fuzzy online profile pictures men post on dating apps, to profile pictures taken in bed or in bathrooms, to men who post edicts about how much makeup a woman should wear, my guests break down their hilarious journeys in the midlife dating pool.
