Since i'm 45 and still married, should I even bother dating?
I mean, if most women won't want to date me for that little reason, women must be losers, unlike me, whatever, they are, huh? :shrug:

1. So are you turning down GoPsUx, too?
I'm not sure he can handle another rejection. ;)

8. We double-dated with my not-yet-ex and his SO; as for my partner's ex, she
knew super-early. We did New Years brunch together. It was...awkward. But things are OK now.

(I should add: We were both separated with no chance of reconciliation before we started dating.)

12. At least, right now, it's fornication instead of adultery.
And neither are illegal in Wisconsin (amendment or not).

26. At my last doctor appointment, the patient she saw before me was a fundie,
who kept calling it "fornification." (Why she was discussing "fornification" with her doctor, I don't know...)

53. Women like an older guy
For some reason - I don't get it either bro

But if you're in your 40's, find a 30-something woman to, well, Antler Dance with.
