I don't know how old you are, but from what I hear from single guys in their 40s and 50s is that if they date near their own age, they move way up the numerical chain. The pool for available and presentable men is smaller, so instead of 6s, they can date 8s and 9s.
My only advice is find a rich woman.

Those of us who read this thread would appreciate it if you could provide details, after you find yourself a crazy bisexual woman. Bonus points if she takes you on a family camping trip.

As a matter of immediate interest, I think I'd like to do the sex again. Do vacuous floozies still require cool sports cars?

Okay, but I'm not having a threesome with you.

We already get along and communicate a thousand times better just having decided on this. I get to keep my house, joint custody of kids with primary residence. I'll have to write a check for about 100k for half the value of the house but I kind of see that as just moving money from a mutual fund investment to a real estate one.

Alright, but I can't date a churchy, a Trump-voter, or a Pats fan so that probably significantly reduces my viable options.Brontoburglar wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2018 4:39 pmoh shit we're gonna build j-lo a bumble profile

Re: The Official Swamp Dating Thread
No way, if the separation is truly amicable, get a mediator. It's exponentially less expensive, and focuses on cooperating to come to a resolution rather than an adversarial approach. You come out with a legally binding agreement, and ideally everyone is satisfied with the result. With attorneys, they feel the need to get their client the best outcome, and it becomes a zero sum game.DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2018 8:13 pmBummer man.

Re: The Official Swamp Dating Thread
Not always, and mediators cannot give you (shouldn't give you) legal advice. Often mediators in pro se divorce cases give out legal advice, and the parties are none the wiser at the time. I've taken over numerous post judgment cases where a party got bad advice from a mediator, after attending mediation without an attorney. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely a lot of attorneys that will overwork your case, but I would strongly recommend at least consulting with an attorney alone to hear the process of a divorce case in your area. Spend the hour or so with a divorce attorney first to get a feel for all of the specifics, then decide whether or not you want to retain him or her.The Sybian wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2018 8:49 pmNo way, if the separation is truly amicable, get a mediator.

If you don't know any divorce attorneys or divorce mediators, you're taking a risk either way. You could pay more than you should in the short term if you hire the wrong attorney, and you could pay more than you should in the long term if you don't at least consult with a divorce attorney.

Re: The Official Swamp Dating Thread
Wow, sorry you're going through that, Jerloma. I mean, I get that you're happy now that you've both agreed, but obviously that's at the end of a lot of shit.
I'd say that pretty much 100% of the dudes I know who've divorced (including a couple Swampers) are much happier than they were. So, hopefully this is the beginning of a good run.

Re: The Official Swamp Dating Thread
I should have specified an attorney mediator with family law experience. And to do that without your own attorneys, you have to truly be able to work it out together.govmentchedda wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2018 9:01 pmNot always, and mediators cannot give you (shouldn't give you) legal advice.

You got married at 22 and you weren't a military member who fell in love in either tech school or with a stripper? Why?
Anywho, I'm sorry/happy for you. I hope it all works out for your family's sake. That shit is tough.
As for dating, hit the gym now and download some apps. Then furiously start swiping right. Just don't use gym selfies in your profile pics. There is a girl that wants to bang you. Believe in yourself!

Re: The Official Swamp Dating Thread
Not sure how it differs in RI, but in MA we drew up an agreement, had it reviewed by a lawyer, then went in front of a judge that asked if we both agreed and then signed the agreement. Cost us 200 bucks maybe.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Re: The Official Swamp Dating Thread
J-Lo knows his (ex)-wife better than any of us so I don't think it's that hard to believe they were really able to work out everything amicably. If they've already agreed on the house, retirement savings and the custody not sure what else there is to really fight about.

Re: The Official Swamp Dating Thread
Same here, but I didn't (and you didn't) have kids and that can be a BIG complication. Whatever him and his ex need to do to get visitation/custody made as part of the legal agreement they need to do because that's the potential fly in the ointment for years down the road.
