I work with this guy closely every weekend for 12 hours each day. I have no problem with people who want to be alone but this guy just confuses the hell out of me.

He is about to turn 50 next month and is going through a mid life crisis now. He is growing his hair out long to cos play as Nicki Sixx at the Motley Crue, Def Leopard and whatever 80s band concert. He is also doing the keto diet. He drove us all crazy for a minute because his diet made him cranky but he is better now, anyways.

He has a kid with a woman who trapped him, his words. She just used him to get a kid and she is on disability now. She had drug problems and seems like a piece of work.

Anyways, this guy has high standards and isn't exactly the best catch himself. Anyone older than 40 just wont do anything for him physically and that seems to be priority #1.

I know it does no good but, I have mentioned he might be missing out. And he will show me some pics from dating apps seeking my approval for hotness I assume and I always try to encourage him.

I know it's a lost cause and there is nothing I can do. He will just do his own thing and that's fine. Its just frustrating as hell to work with someone like that who puts looks over all. I try to help him but I know it's useless. And he knows he will be forever a lone as well. But he doesn't have to be but I know I shouldn't push any beliefs or anything on him. Idk, I guess I'm just venting. I know there's nothing I can do. That's the frustrating part I guess.

He's on his own path. Doesn't sound like his health is at risk. Let him do him.

My man, I've known plenty of folks like this...you've just got to recognize that you can't live someone else's life for them. Gotta let him make his choices and do his thing, and go on with yourself.

Nothing wrong with having standards. Doesn't matter if you think they're unrealistic or not. You're not him, and you're not dating him.

It doesn't sound like he's bothering anyone so why not leave him to do his thing whether it seems logical or reasonable to you or not?

Maybe he sets his standards so high because deep down he doesn't really want another relationship after what happened to him last time.

These people are disgusting imo. They always remind me of that middle aged mass shooter who shot up a women's gym studio because he came the realization that he couldn't date women under 30.

Your first, and only, problem is letting the fact that someone is mainly after looks get to you. It's none of your business, encourage him or whatever - but ultimately it has nothing to do with you. Don't even give it a second thought.

Yes.
Eventually they will find someone half their age. While they're vacationing by themselves in Thailand or the Dominican..
Uh, o...k.

Lol. Why would he be forever alone? Assuming the guy makes decent money, isn't cranky and is in decent shape a 50 year old dude should be able to find some 39-40 year olds that are interested in him.

Also, a 10 year age gap is specific but it isn't absurd especially in the online dating world. Some people prioritize physical attraction when dating someone. I'm sure if he found a 42 year old women he was attracted to he wouldn't turn her down.

Forever alone seems a weird phrase to use for someone who has already experienced at least one sexual relationship.

I thought you were going to talk about working with an incel or someone very much like it. This... seems fine? Guy's a little misguided maybe but he'll have to sort that on his own.

I knew this would be the vibe of the thread but I would argue the guy has a mental problem. I know him best. So I'm just supposed to let him be forever alone with problems? At some point it's not you are a loner and becomes you have psychological problems.

And if you can't find women sexually attractive unless they are 10 years younger than you, yes you have problems in my book anyways.

what exactly are you gonna do for him to "fix" him? shame him? teach him how to date? don't think there is much you can do if the guy doesn't think he has a problem. guess you can suggest to him he has too high of standards but what if he doesn't care? what next? just leave it alone.
