I find that most women on dating sites that are over 50 find it too hard to accept love, I'm thinking it's because of a past relationship and she doesn't want to be hurt, although she shouldn't believe all men are the same.. Do any men find this to be true?

*Asking for a friend*

I don't think women (in general) at any age find it hard to accept love.
Women are wired for love. Motherly instincts are founded in love.

What you are experiencing is hesitation of women you have noticed, accepting the love you offer.

The problem is in the transmitter (you), not the receiver (them).
You also have to realize the tool (internet dating apps) is limited.
Nothing beats real life interaction.

There's probably nothing wrong with the love you offer.
Perhaps you are just trying to connect with women who are on a different channel.

You can continue transmitting as you are, in hopes of finding one in a million who can accept your love or you can try changing your methods to connect with more women. Just try to remember more is not always better.
You could come across as shallow. Women tend to pick up on that.

If you Choose Wisely your connection, the love you offer will be more than enough for her. I suggest you rethink your strategy and try again. Have patience, it takes time.

No, I do not find it to be true.

It's NEVER a good idea to generalize somebody based on age or gender.

I was saying I found it with women I have came across(excuse the pun) on dating sites, that's not really generalising is it?

When folks use a phrase like "most" or "all" they're generalizing.

^^^ This ^^^

Generalizing is, as a fact, always wrong imo

Even when speaking of personal experiences?

Substitute the words "African-American", or "Muslim" or "mentally challenged" for "women" and you'll see it's best NOT to generalize, even based on personal experience.

This is 2020 and apparently, what you said was tantamount to an "ism" or "phobia" and that can be very awkward.

To me, Xenophobia is the most dangerous phobia out there

This is Sir Dino we're talking about here.

I know. I would never accuse him of such a horrible thing.

(Ripley would certainly have something to say about xenomorphs, however, based on personal experience.)

When I am cold I say "It's colder than a three time divorcee..."

..but seriously.... we get better at knowing what won't work -while things get weird and people become increasingly incompatible.

I know that this topic is for men, but I wanted to add my own thoughts. I was always looking for a man to love and I dated, looking for someone special. After a while, I realized, I don't like it or get attached to anyone. It has nothing to do with being afraid.

hello irish boy tell your friend it sounds a little like he is making assumptions and although plausible there could be a multitude of reasons.
How certain is your friend of her feelings towards him ??

maximus also makes a good point the mind can be very persuasive when it comes to accepting or rejecting love .

No

Hey Sweet Blondey.. This friend of mine thinks maybe they are just afraid of the big hunk of burning love he is burdened with..
Not to worry I told him, true love will come upon him when he least expects, it's written in the stars..
