Why?

Look at the official statistics .. In my country 70% of all people our age are living with a partner. Either as a married couple, with someone they have (had) kids with or in a house hold where they only are two adult of opposite genders and with an age difference of at most 15 years.

​

So 70% are living with a partner and now question is how many of the last 30% are truly single and not just in a relationship with someone that they don't live with?

​

End of day something like only 1 in 5-6 people are single at our age.

​

Now question is:

Do we truly believe that these single people are distributed the same way as when we where in our 20s, or do we suspect that there is a huge overweight of people with anxieties, avoidant attachment styles and/or worse.

​

Dating in your 50 is a huge crap shot ... I've been single for 5 years now. In that time I've met someone where it just felt easy and with potential from the get go 3 times. Two of them where newly divorced and the last was a widow.

One I fucked up myself .. One just wasn't really a match once we got past the honeymoon, but we're still friends and the last one .. Currently crossing my fingers.
