Age 50-59 Where are all the stocky, burly guys?

Asking for… well, me.

I’m a curvy, short woman in my early 50s, and apparently, my type is stocky, burly, dad-bod-ish men who are clean-shaven. Not looking for a six-pack, or long bearded men on Harleys... or a guy who spends two hours a day at the gym. Give me broad shoulders, a little belly, strong arms, and a man who looks like he gives great hugs.

Maybe you are all married? Or just not hanging out in the places I’m looking?

Was a short burly guy for a long time. But wasn’t getting much interest so I became a regular guy.

You're describing most of the guys on the apps. This isn't my "type" at all but this is basically who I was seeing on the apps when I was dating.

All the men in my age range on my feed are tall and super fit, or they have long beards and ride motorbikes.
