Why is it so hard to find a good date in Halifax these days?! Where are the good single men in their 30s and 40s? I know they’re out there. It gets harder to meet new people as we get older, it seems. I mean, I have a full, happy, and interesting life on my own but it sure would be nice to have a partner along for the journey. We should have fun stuff for singles, like speed dating, in this city! Online dating just doesn’t cut it. People wander around out there with their heads down looking at their phones and don’t see the possibilities all around them. —Waiting it out

I don’t walk around with my head down. I walk around creepily staring at, and licking my lips at woman. No good?
Ummmm, if you’re dating men in their 30’s or 40’s, you’re likely dating from the toss pile.
we (as men) have the same issues…. on line sucksass.
take comfort, we are out there.
Good single men in their 30s or 40s – as rare as hen’s teeth. If you were looking for a broken divorced man that age, it’d be like shooting fish in a barrel.
Here’s a suggestion. Try real dating.
I usually use the comment section here for trolling foolish bitches but I’ll be serious for once. Online dating does work (I’m male in my mid-30s btw never married), I started a couple years ago and met some great women just not the one. Eventually I met someone on a free site none the less and it’s worked out great we are waiting for the closing date on our first house. So I wouldn’t give up. Oh and she didn’t fat-fish me (I had to lol).
Furious Poprah!! Wow that’s uncalled for!
Are you saying that the 30s and 40s single women are the toss pile as well or are you just sexist toward men in general?! Because as a male, I would never ever say that about any woman!
I will agree with T.T. Folio though, especially here considering how small and limited the population is. Unfortunately the dating world has changed and now it’s mainly done online.
Regardless of how many people disagree with that, it’s the reality of life today.
Another solution OB, you can try your luck at bars in DT Halifax. It’s literally a sausage fest every weekend. You may have to lower your standards though!
i could pretend im single for a few nights
what is fat-fish?
also, if you’re so into speed dating maybe organize it yourself. problem solved.
We had speed dating here about 10 years ago when it was a thing. All of those people are married or dead so you’ll have to come up with something else.
Anyway, hang out in the single meals frozen section at sobeys. best ever.
^ Sorry but this is the funniest thing I’ve read all day.
Cranky’s onto something there. A person with one of those little green grocery baskets containing two bananas, a half litre of milk and a couple of frozen dinners doesn’t have kids and is probably single. Make eye contact, smile and say hello. Conversation may ensue.
A fat fish is a play on the term catfish where photos on a profile are misleading about the persons actual appearance. I’m sure you can figure out what I meant, always ask for full body pictures is all I’m saying. And yes I am a little shallow before anyone starts with that lol
Sorry, randomness, it’s impossible to be sexist towards men.
That remark on it’s own is sexist!
I must say I haven’t seen this much sexist in one place. Not just referring to here but the mentality of the province!
No it’s not. Be a man and take it on the chin, nobody likes a whiney bitchass!
Those men have been back stabbed and screwed over by the woman in your age group. Those men are sick of the fake woman in your age group. The “reality tv age group”. You pick men like its a season of Batchelorette or Kardashians and then you think is is cool trend to cause divorces if your friends are all doing it. Men in the age group your looking for are rooting out older woman these days. The woman who came from a generation that knows what “family values” are and have their man’s back no matter what. If you are under 38 then PASS!!! No man with a thinking brain these days is going to start a relationship with the females of your generation. Too much risk. Maybe this will help you understand why it is so hard for you at your age. Your fellow females ruined it.
Cougars are way hotter no matter the age because they do not base their lives on reality TV shows and will in fact APPRECIATE THEIR MAN more so than a female under 40 these days.
