r/datingoverforty is a subreddit with 205k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and pain & anger, and the community frequently discusses dating, struggling, annoying, old, and tired, and they frequently recommend/review dating apps, dating app, and card games.
This is a place to discuss dating and dating relationships over 40 (not marriage or marriage-equivalent relationships); it is not a place to look for dates or mates. We intend to be positive about dating, sex, and relationships over 40, and that includes being positive or at least civil towards all genders and life stages.
