Maybe I have read one too many romance novels over the years, as the topic of "romance" has been on mind as of late, which might explain why I review so many romance novels on this blog. Plus, I might explain why I purchased the DVD of Love & Friendship at a thrift store last week. Actually, I don't why I bought the movie, maybe it has something to do with the fact that I like reading Jane Austen's books (Pride and Prejudice is my favorite!) and I like the actress Kate Beckinsale, who starred in all those Underworld vampire flicks.
Being a male, I haven't always been interested in romance, but the older I get, the more interested I am in romance and the whole "settling down" thing; which probably explains why I have been rambling on for many months about my interest in online dating. With my 37th birthday just around the corner, I guess you can say that I've been feeling a bit lonely, which is another reason reason why my mind has been thinking about romance, marriage, kids, life, and everything else in between.
Dating near 40 or even near 50 can seem a bit difficult to many, but there any many middle age singles looking for romance, relationships, love, and even marriage. Yes, dating can be a big pain in the butt at any age, but all the myths about dating later in life shouldn't scare you off from finding true love.
One of those myths is that everyone is taken by age 40. This isn't true at all. Not all married couples end in happily every after, because, sadly, many of them end up getting a divorce. So there are a lot of divorcees available in the dating pool, which increases your odds in finding a match. That's if you're interested in dating a divorcee to begin with.
I read an article recently that once you hit middle age our brains tends to think like the opposite sex. Sounds crazy, right? Men are supposed to more open to explore serene potency and women are supposed to be enjoy postmenopausal zest. From my understanding, males are supposed to be more comfortable with our feminine side during our middle age years. It's an interesting theory, but I'm not for sure if I believe it or not.
