I’m a 54-year-old man, recently separated from my wife of 31 years - just earlier this month. Honestly, I’m already feeling bored and lonely, so I’ve been considering trying out dating apps (I’ve never used one before). However, my sons (30 and 28) tell me it’s a waste of time and possibly even a scam, and I’ve seen similar opinions online. So I’m not sure what to think.

    It depends on what you want.

    If all you’re looking for is casual sex, they’re pretty great. If you’re looking for love, you’d do well to search for it in a more organic way.

      He’s just separated from someone he’s been with for 31 years. Probably thought it was gonna last forever.

      Might not be looking for the same thing again lmao
