I just started training in Jiu Jitsu…at the tender age of 54. My daughter, who is 9, has been going to classes for 2+ years. I’ve been sitting on the sideline with the other parents wrestling between two parts of myself, one that has been dying to get out on the mat and the other that has held me back because “I’m too old”. I finally found my way past that argument and signed up. My fourth class is tonight. I can’t wait!
All the best to you on your guitar journey! Rock on, brother!
Since I play and teach guitar, the musician / music teacher in me wants to give you advice to facilitate your progress, but I'm sure that you're getting plenty from many others. Also, you didn't ask, so I won't force my preferred methods and related perspectives & experiences on you.😉
All that said, I am happy for you to have a much-needed creative outlet which could indeed become a skill that attracts women!💖

Yep, good progress! At this point I'd recommend adding in some alternate picking practice. Some example lessons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8SHmo1-dac&ab_channel=JustinGuitar

Not bad dude for only a month.
Yes, you are making progress!
