Hi, I'm Maggie Jones.
I'm a contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine.
I've written about the sex lives of many demographics, from teenagers to people in their eighties.
A few years ago, I wrote this big article about sex and aging,
and that, in part, led me to report the story you're going to hear today,
this week's Sunday read.
It's about the pleasures, frustrations, and freedoms of dating online when you're over 50 and single, a demographic that I myself am part of.
I wanted to tackle the ageist assumptions I've heard from several people in their teens, twenties, and thirties
these narratives that as we get older, we don't go about dating the same way younger people do, or that if you're single past 50, you're letting go of sex, or of falling in love again,
or that older single women are desperate to remarry.
None of that is true.
