Dating Is Hard

Dating is hard at my age (the mid-40's). It is hard to find a woman around my age that is not carrying a ton of baggage (to be fair, some women would say I am carrying a little bit myself) and compatibility seems to be a huge problem. Most say they are looking for a nice guy (they are looking for money), stability (money, a nice house, and a nice car), they like to stay home (they want to be wined and dined every night), and they are not on these dating websites for sex or one night stands (although every picture they show is one looking straight down their shirt or a boob or an ass shot.) They do not want to see pictures of my "junk" but I am obligated to see pictures of their saggy boobs or flabby ass. They do not want to see pics of me without my shirt on either but I am not that brave. I do not want to see a pic of me without a shirt on. I am seriously considering the "hooker option." If the end game is truly sex, why not just cut out all the bullshit and make it a straight cash transaction. It would make a guys life (and mine) a whole lot simpler.
