Over 50 internet dating

This is a zombie thread.

It’s a total minefield, newly single after 8 years. I am searching for someone around my age, but guys of my age seem to want someone twenty years younger. To be honest many who say they are my age or even 5 years younger look far too old and wrinkly for me. All I can gather from this is these guys must have very big wallets to think they can attract much younger women. Think far better to stop searching now and just have fun with my friends!

Naafi This looks like a small shot of who's around on-line ??
A few balanced Gents, a few odd & trolls.

Then there are the ones that lost out in divorce settlements & are either bitter or needing to recoup their losses & somewhere to live.

Probably time this whole thread was deleted it has obviously long outlived any usefulness.

???*GJ*. How many times have we all said we need a wife?!

Oh I don't know, GSM. If she's a good cook and likes housework, I'd give one of 'em house room. As long as it was defo separate bedrooms. She'd have to keep herself entertained too. I'm not friendly.

Reported. Not sure how many of us want to marry a Moldovan woman?

I have recently joined a dating site and was shocked at some of the messages - they obviously didn't read my profile or what I was looking for. I also found that most guys my age (56) were looking for a woman 10 years younger, tall and slim - its actually put me off!!

I’ve just discovered this great site.
I met someone online in January and just ended the relationship a couple of days ago. There weren’t any problems associated with online dating, it’s just a convenient way of meeting someone. I was with him for around ten months. He was very intense in the first couple of months, but seemed to withdraw when he sensed I was starting to reciprocate his feelings. I feel he strung me along for several months. It became a lot more casual than it had been. At the moment, I feel dreadful and I’m put off dating altogether because of being so hurt, but, like I said, none of this has anything to do with online dating, it’s just life!

I have tried them but no luck so far . One became a bit obsessed -everytime I went on line he was there . I had to block him .One I went on a date with I really liked and we chatted and seemed well suited . He just knocked me back when I suggested we meet again saying ,it wasn't meant to be . That was all he said .
If you are quite a sensitive person be prepared to toughen up
.

I was very interested in this thread. It seems that a lot of people 60 plus, both men and women would like friendship/companionship or a partner. Do we expect too much too soon? Online dating is a minefield, but can be another option. The chances of meeting 'the one' is probably slim, but not impossible, as I know people who have met people on sites. Is it not best just to look for potential company and friends...if you strike lucky that's what you are...lucky.
Surely if you go into something. thinking 'all men want someone to look after them etc etc...you're onto a loser before you start.

That's lovely DennyFab.
Like one or two others on this thread, I'd like male company for outings occasionally, and for general friendship, but friends who have tried internet dating, tell me that not many men are likely to want that.
My friends seem to be doing a fair bit of frog-kissing, as far as I can tell.

Hi Folks

Just enjoyed a lovely day in Stratford on Avon, would have been even more lovely to have had a lady on my arm to converse with and to enjoy the day
