At 80 and now a widower, it's now a real problem... I'm looking for new companionship and beyond, and the ladies my age are not inspiring... Topping that off, My son's wife just announced the she's retiring after over 30 years teaching... I'm still working... (self-employed). So I cast about, looking for a lady that is active, preferably technical, and definitely active in life as am I....

First off I think a lot more women in their 50's look to be in their 40's .. not men. Most men in late 50's look like my dad would. And I think a higher percentage that do not care for themselves anymore. ohwell

Nothing wrong with being friends with or dating younger than you are if you fit in better with that generation. I think I have 1 or 2 close friends in their 50's, the rest in their 30's & 40's. Never date this age either. Usually in their 30's.

Just sayin.




and it's dilemma not delema :wink: flowerforyou
I agree, overall men unfortunately do not age as attractively or as well as most women and much of that has to do with diet fitness fashion and grooming. As young men some must be led to believe that their masculinity gets the girl - so I think they do not realize that a good haircut, a reasonable waistline, and something besides a T shirt would make them more attractive. I date men younger also. Somewhere along the line a lot of men do stop taking care of themselves - but men in these older generations also were raised to some degree to think that this is some woman's job to do - that mentality can come back to bite them if they end up single in their 50s & 60s. Of course, I wouldn't be interested in a man who wasn't well groomed in his 30s or 40s either Fade, it's just that I also don't see that so much with the younger guys. My best advice to men my age - if I can offer only a few words: Get fit, & get rid of the T Shirts and golf shorts. Shave. If you wear ur hair long keep it trimmed and in a pony tail. flowerforyou
<<<--- always well groomed .....well most of the time :tongue:
