Attraction is fading

Hi Lesa, welcome to the forum. ❤️

You're not alone in feeling this way. At 47, after going through a divorce and entering perimenopause, it’s completely normal for your attraction levels and emotional energy to shift. Hormonal changes can impact how we feel, and so can emotional fatigue from past relationships. It doesn't mean anything is wrong with you — it’s your mind and body protecting your peace. Be kind to yourself. Attraction may return, or you may discover a different kind of connection that matters even more. 🌸

Is the divorce recent?   if out dating or meeting people do you wonder why they are on the market perhaps some  unknown or known  baggage ?     We generally are not willing to put up with as much as we did when younger. 

I found as I got older attraction and really seeing someone was far more about who they are inside.  I know that may sound so made up.   Many at a younger age are looking more at outside looks and putting up with so-so  personalities.   

Our priorities and what we are looking for has changed especially after leaving a long term situation.  I lost attraction from former partner for similar reasons his charm faded as he aged and he no longer felt the need to make an effort in connecting. 

 I have met nice looking men who once I got to know them they became very unattractive by personality.     I met a man he was OK looking ...... I was not impressed at all .....and then in getting to know him his humor his outlook ......he is adorable.
