dating apps are dating apps no matter how you see it, online dating is online dating where you are not judge by your profile what is written but by your picture. I have weight to lose and a far cry of my best years 25y ago, i been online i wasted a lot of time online i was insulted and more by women who looked like trash cans. Thanks for the advise but there is no way shape or form that i am going back online. My neighbor recommended elite singles but its still another dating website.I had a client in your age bracket that was going through the same thing, he is also a man big into fitness and did not want to date someone that has children. I recommended to him if he wanted to date a specific demographic he should try out fitness groups in Montreal or trying a dating app specific to what he was looking for. He found one called "fitness singles" if I remember correctly. He met several women that fit his health criteria and did not have children, although slightly younger. I do not see him on a client to sp basis anymore but we talk and he found the "one," 41, super fit, kind and without children. If you want to find women who are in shape I would focus on meet up groups for people into fitness. I would avoid bars and the nightlife because most fitness and fit minded people I know anyway focus on meeting their partners in healthier settings. Also, people who devote a considerable amount of time to fitness usually do not have children or manage well with them as childcare can take up space from priorities such as exercise. I would focus on fitness minded dating apps as mentioned or meet up groups catering to that.
Its always the same online you chat for a few hours or days, but when it comes time to meet you never see them, most people also use filters, and more.
