oldkid46 Now now....That does not sound like a good attitude.


:smile: :
I agree that is not a positive attitude but has become the reality of life and I don't think I'm alone in that reality. You of great wisdom, tell me what type of venue I should visit on Saturday evening where I will find date-able ladies between 55 and 70 and have an opportunity to meet them?

that would be the bingo hall or the local line dancing classes

I hate line dancing and the only bingo I play is bar bingo - sometimes fun and you can always have a couple beers and watch ESPN

Some women over 50 are still active and interested in things..
Now, to be truthful.."active" doesn't mean 10 mile hikes, running marathons (I have seen this as "active" on guy's profiles)...that wasn't my thing when I was a teenager...although we did go to the mountains and hike...just not miles...
More of a long stroll throught the woods to see the beauty, take some pictures...enjoy the peace...

Anyway..*I* have no idea where to meet guys over 50...seems like all they are into is sports (TV), or their grandkids...or big into their church...or, worse, have some second childhood thing with motorcycles...which I didn't care for in my teens and 20's, but...to each their own...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am 66 yrs and still wear my mini skirt, jeans, high heels like other women do. I have had interests and meets online and in person from all age groups. I (my preference take note) choose to be with men older than myself and luckily (or maybe it's how we do our search) I found the one on this site after less than a month. Thanks to Mingle2.

Looking at your profile, I would expect that you would be popular among the gentleman on any dating site.

A second childhood as you refer to is not uncommon as we age. We reach a point in life where our responsibilities are less and our financial resources are more. Often times we have sacrificed certain pleasures in our lives because of those responsibilities. Now we are free to indulge in toys and hobbies that are expensive. For some it may be a motorcycle, a boat, or an ATV. For others it may be a country club membership along with several rounds of golf a week. For still others it may be travel.

The question of a companion or partner is if you would enjoy what they are into and would be interested in sharing with them. I think it is very hard to change a lifestyle that someone really likes just because it isn't what you enjoy. Different lifestyle choices between men and women certainly are one of the detriments to any type of relationship.

Hi, hate to say this but heart events, strokes, cancer etc. do not know age, race, colour, creed. I have seen newborns that have had a stroke, heart event, and cancer. Age is only a number and in most cases it means more experience. waving Clear skies, Calm waters smile2

My preference is with the older lady, she has maturity and her expectations of a partner is realistic. OK so a few extra kg's are likely to be the order of the day, this makes the ladies so much more cuddly. IMHO of course.

You must be referring to all those 30 year olds that message me regularly. Seems like there are some common threads about phone numbers, email addresses, and how poor they are. Lots of BS but not much follow through.


You get 30 yr olds? Despite my profile saying I'm interested in ladies between 40-70 and near me (I'm 54 in less than a week), I go through 25 message stretches with no ladies over 26 who are all 600 to 2400 miles away.

And under "interests" they always say "I'll tell you later". Frustrating to not have anything to chat about- Why did you message me? :).

I have no problem with dating an older woman, even older than myself. I have no problem with those few extra pounds but there are limits. I have a big problem with a bad attitude or thinking they are too old to do certain things or wear certain styles. I am not willing to date s woman who acts or thinks she is old!

My opinion also. It's not like I'm a Brad Pitt or Leo D. I like smart, kind, funny, and sweet ladies with a few curves. If they like chunky guys it's nice- so why would I object to a lady carrying a few extra when I could stand to to lose 20 myself?

That's just the thing..

I would NEVER ask someone to change something for me...I'll just keep looking for someone more compatible.

I have known quite a few women who have gotten involved with a guy initialy because one of his "things"..(hobby, toy..etc.)
Then after a while..it gets on her nerves (the very thing that *supposedly* interested in the first place), and she wants him to stop it.

That's wrong.

Also...insisting a woman needs to try x, y, z...or asking "how do you know you won't like it" is rude, and dismissive of her lived expereinces.

*I* don't need to *try* fire walking to know I would not enjoy walking on hot coals..laugh
Some thing I just know are not for me/ I would not enjoy..

And, if it happens to be something that is a big part of your life (Harley riding, living in a camper/ RV, lots of travel) it would be better if you looked for a woman that ALSO enjoys/ likes that.

I've come to realize that many men are afraid to date or go in a relationship with a woman older than they are simply because of inferiority complex. For me, I don't see any problem with it. I believe what matters most is understanding and commitment.
If you have any contrary opinion to this topic or in support of it, kindly drop your comments.


Most men Young or Older, desire. a Young. woman. They are not afraid for a relationship with older women , they don't want one. :smile:

Problem is older men cannot usually get young women Because they want Young men:!







I think I know what you wanted to say in your last sentence, but it came out that older men want younger men! (Some do, of course.)
