## Resource

What I Discussed with Scot McKay… - Why many people over 50 are abandoning dating apps and what they are doing instead to find meaningful relationships. - How online dating evolved from a genuine way to meet people into a swipe-based system that often prioritises engagement over connection. - Why dating after 60 may actually be easier than dating in your 30s and 40s for people seeking authentic relationships. - The surprising reasons more women over 50 are choosing younger partners and what this reveals about health, lifestyle and modern expectations. - Scot McKay's "Big Four" framework for attraction: confidence, masculinity or femininity, appreciation for the opposite sex, and character. - Why many long-term relationships fail after the children leave home and how couples can avoid drifting apart. - The concept of "Deserve What You Want" and why becoming the partner you want to attract may be more important than finding the perfect match. - Why optimism, generosity and strong character remain some of the most attractive qualities regardless of age, technology or dating trends. And much more...
