hagar2935 Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I'm a 67 year old man who is coming out of a disastrous marriage and now many months later I am trying to move on. I'm lonely and finding it difficult to find someone to share my time with. I still have a lot of life left in me (the men in my family live well into their late 90's) so I don't want to spend the last years of my life sitting and staring at four walls. I'm not a bad looking man ... at least that's what I have been told ....(Of course, I'm not a 20 something Adonis either ) .... But I have a good sense of humor and I do get along well with other people. All I want is someone to share some laughs and some good times and maybe a little affection too... I would like to find someone a little younger than myself because I want her to have plenty of life left in her and I don't want to watch another loved one die in my arms (as one former wife and another close friend did). Here's my key problem.... I don't drink (Wine with dinner is fine with me and maybe a rare occasional cocktail) so the bar scene doesn't suit me. I'm not particularly religious, so I don't attend any church (Don't have anything against it though). I joined a "senior Center" but in my rural area I am the youngest one there with almost everyone else in their 80's or 90's. I tried a couple online "connection" sites and they turned out to be sites for less than savory women looking sugar daddy's (which I'm not because I am not in good financial condition after my last marriage). I even set up a blog of my own (http://hagar2935.blogspot.com/) but I haven't had a single hit on it... (Maybe because I'm not very good at that...can someone help me there???). So I'm asking .... any suggestions .... or am I wasting my time???
coolheadal Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Try one of the free dating sites on the net don't pay for anything. You see like a nice guy. I did check out blog and your image. You shouldn't have any trouble finding the women you seek. Just be yourself and be honest too and tell the new women what your values are. Good luck in your quest!
Pierre Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 You could land a woman in her 50s and be ok. Church may be your best bet for a good woman in that age range. What was the problem with your last wife? Btw, there are some older women in this forum. Another alternative is to import a foreign wife. However, that is likely to be very complicated.
coolheadal Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Church, buy a bride or just meet someone online is the choices. There are a lot of women in their 30s are looking for men in the 40s to 99 (to me 99 is pretty old) but still you never know who's out their. Rope her in with your horse is another way but you don't want to do that!
Cee Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I see that you joined Love Shack in 2004. Hey, stranger. I don't think you are ever too old to meet someone, but the trick is meeting single women. Even you don't enjoy social gatherings or groups, you'll need to join them. Here are some ideas: Unitarian church socials - I have an agnostic friend who joined the Unitarian church and met a bunch of older single women. Meetup.com groups geared toward older people. Cultural groups for art, music, opera, etc. Travel groups - Older people have the means and the time to travel. Try to be patient in your search. You haven't much practice seeking a mate and there's a learning curve here. Through trial and error, you'll find out where the single women are. And as you make single friends, you'll widen your network.
wilsondenil Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 I think age doesn’t matter for these types of relationship. You can make friends even at 67.
Lucky_One Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Hagar, I know many women in their 50-60's who would love to date a man like you! Heck no, you aren't too old. Part of our society's problem is that it puts so much emphasis on youth, beauty and an idealized view of sexuality. So it might be hard for you, as well, to put aside the idea that you should be looking for an older, single version of Catherine Zeta-Jones, as women like that tend to be pretty rare! As long as you realize that women in their 50-60's almost always a few or more of the following: wrinkles, grey hair (possibly colored!), some sagging of their skin, some definite sagging of their breasts and buttocks, decreased lubrication, some health issues. But so many women in that bracket are vibrant, attractive, sexually willing, fun, sensual, good cooks and friends! You are never too old for love. Or even for good friendship. Or for sex! You may want to try church again. Even if you aren't particularly religious, it can be a great social setting, especially if you are in a rural area where there aren't many Barnes and Nobles where you can join a poetry reading group! My area also has a local collegiate summer baseball team, and a huge number of our community are very active in that, and people still hang out together even when the players leave and the season ends; check out things like that.
