First I want to start with an apology, I didn't read all of the answers posted. In my opinion, in our age group, most people are married, and still together. It does get harder as you get older to find someone to share a life with, but I still believe it is possible.

As far as anyone asking for personal information. like income, and so on and so forth. I would just write them off as even a potential friend. I don't need to hear anything about what someone who worked their whole lives to put in the bank, or what kind of home they own.

In all honesty, material things don't make me happy, if the person's feelings aren't sincere. I have come across this type, and even after repeatedly telling him that I don't care what he owns, still went on and on, about what he owned. I found that boring, and really quite frankly, none of my business.

Get to know the person first, and let things come naturally. If they were meant to be they will be, if not, ask yourself how much worse will you be if you had to live out the rest of your life with just your family and friends that you have now.

I couldn't find love because I am old and unattractive. Sucks but such is life.

and just who do you think you're kidding??? Women would kill to look like you, at any age!

Aww, Vivian you are nice to say that but this isn't what guys here in Calgary are telling me. Thanks for the kind words.

It the guys around you are that BLIND, come south & see what happens.
Maybe you should be in Texas, first of November & get some lessons from Hotlips & clan.

I may take you up on that offer of coming there. I guess as I said beauty is in the eye of the beholder and lets face it a younger woman is going to look much better in the eyes of these men than I would. Unfortunately as we age; we lose our looks and I accept that is part of life. I can't be angry at the men here if they prefer to look at a prettier and younger woman and I must accept it.

Then there must be some serious defects in the Canadian men! Good Lord you are only 52..just hitting your prime. Look at the great beauties of the world..most of them are 50, 60 and 70 yrs old.
Men that just look for a younger unwrinkled woman, don't have a clue what they are missing..all the eye candy in the world will face age one day...and that vain man will throw her away for another younger model...just to boost his sagging ego. It's a damn shame...but hey ! You know what?..let those men go on living an unfulfilled live for not knowing that mature woman who has forgotten more than most younger women will ever learn...it's not age, Navygirl...it's all about attitude!
Come on down to Texas to our next Mingle Meet..we'd love to have you, and I'll bet money that you could turn some Texan heads...and our Texas women are AWESOME, so the men are a little spoiled

Thanks Vivian. You are correct that as these men will toss these women away when they do age which I find sad. There is certainly more to a person than the outer looks and its too bad that these men will never know that. I can tell you I certainly don't lose sleep over it though. Except for my crummy job; I do feel good about the person I am; wrinkles and all. I have heard from my nephew that the hospitality of Texans is second to none. I will have to make a trip there in the foreseeable future. I won't lie though; it would be awfully flattering to be able to still turn a man's head.

Well this isn't what this Calgary guy thinks

Guess you are the exception.

And you two haven't met because why??????

We'll be going to the BIG TEXAN on Saturday night for steaks, and who knows, we might even stay for the dance...get your bootscootin' togs on and come on down...these cowboys will show you a good time!

Listen to her! We don't call her "Hot Lips" for nothing!!!!

I don't think we are "too old"...we just don't go out the places we did when we were younger...Or at least I don't...I am new to the area, know NO ONE except my daughter who lives 20 miles away! I work with people all day but in an awkward situation to "flirt" or meet anyone new. Most the people I work with are much younger..I dont run the bars. I go to church...My prob is 3 years ago I survived cancer..Now I am insecure..(something new for me) ...yikkes...gotta deal with it myself!!

Welcome to Mingle! I'm Vivian, and you are....?
We're awfully glad you are here. Post in the forums and get to know us. We here in the Over fifties are always glad to have a new friend!
Congratulations on surviving the cancer! My son was given a clean bill of health last month.. he's been in remission for 5 years.

Welcome Bunn!! Join in and play with us!

Probably because we aren't very compatible. His idea of biking is motorized while mine is cycling. I don't think he would be up to cycling 50 kms with me. Doesn't seem the type. LOL

Do you belong to a Cyling group?

Nope; I just cycle on my own or with my best friend. I am just very active with cycling, hiking, weight lifting, and kick boxing. I am also still very active with the two military bands; one I play in and the other I teach. I found trying to be with a man that is not as active as me doesn't work.
