Are there any actual live members in the Red Wing - Winona - Rochester area that actually will meet others socially?

As we age, are physical condition and attitudes change. The big difference is how and at what rate these changes occur. We can say some are "old" at 50 while others are still going strong at 80. The number isn't the consideration, the physical and mental place you are in is what matters.

Probably can work if yo see each other on a regular basis.

"If a man dates several women the advice is to not date him. "
This would only apply if your entire goal of dating is to find a man for a long term, committed relationship; what I refer to as "husband hunting". Some of us are not interested in returning to anything resembling married life!!

I would have no problem "dating" a woman that had dates with others. That being said, I am not a resource when she would want to go out to dinner unless there was something in it for me. If you are going to date multiple people, be prepared to pay your share of the cost.

When you see or have a casual encounter with someone new in public that seems interesting to you and you know you will not see them again someplace, How do you turn that single encounter into a chance to actually get acquainted with them? Only 1 chance to make a future meeting.

Wanting to stay single doesn't rule out dating. There is no real reason to not date multiple people, depending on who is interested in what you wish to do at the moment. The idea of dating only one at a time is only relevant when you are looking for a long term relationship.

Anyone have experience with island hopping in the Bahamas? What was your experience?

I would become a paid member if I thought the site was useful.
You could at least offer a "verified" note by requiring a picture of you holding a sign showing your screen name to be verified.
Another way is to provide an opportunity to have email notifications to your personal email when certain things happen on your mingle account. Another option is to delete members who have been inactive for an extended period of time.
Another help would be when a scammer is reported, in addition to deleting their profile, add a block to that computer ID.

So many ways to improve the site if only the owners were serious about making improvements!!

How do you send a message or announcement to the members in a specific geographic area?

Let's leave the sexual part out for a few minutes. I find it hard to believe that most couples share so many things in life together that one or both are not giving up part of the life they would like to live.
Do we just give up part of our desired life or do we find another partner who would share that part of our life?
Should we give up part of our life to support a relationship or marriage?

Let's make it happen! I hope there are more than 2 of us in SE Minnesota. Needs to be in a safe, neutral environment where everyone would feel comfortable showing up.

Back in SE Minnesota for the summer. Still looking for that "partner" to share some good times with. Went to the play in Mantorville; planing on a Hairball concert; "Back to the 50s" car show. Even older guys need some type of a social life!

People see a date as an initial step to a relationship instead of 2 people sharing some activity they both might enjoy and the companionship of another person. Dating should be fun, not matchmaking!

Are there other members who are also winter Texans?
Gets too cold up here in the north country!

If your honest, yes. The dishonest ones are never going to accept some real location anyway.

Could be fun but I doubt anyone wants to see a senior without much clothes on!

Just seeing 1 picture of someone makes likes a crap shoot with the expected results.

Several local. small bars and clubs I frequent have a sign that says they won't accept credit or debit cards. The arrow on the sign points the way to the ATM where the customer can get cash at their expense to pay the business.

Most adult men are not looking for just that 1 night unless they are not available for a longer term. If you have found a sexually compatible partner, why would you not enjoy night 2 or night 102? A few men believe they can find a sex partner anytime they want and a few can. The rest of us are not that popular nor socially adept that finding a new partner is easy.
