I have found most men just don't reply if they're not interested. I try not to be discouraged.

Let's prove to the world that older people can adjust!! lol It will just take some getting used to.

sloehand, I agree, somewhat, with what you say about posting a photo. One of the things I like most about the internet is you can get to know someone without getting hung up on looks. Unfortunately, there are many people who are looking for Barbies and Kens. As for being a race fan, I like to follow the M&M car for obvious reasons!

moman, you're my new hero. I, too, have traveled to meet someone a few times. One almost worked out, but if you dont' try, you might be passing up 'the one'. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Cleo, where did you find the new site? Is there an ad here somewhere? btw, how are you?

I have to agree with angelinboots. It seems a lot of men(no offense guys!) are looking for much younger women. They are passing up mature, loving, experienced women for eye candy! Such a shame

I agree jim, it's the worse part. Coming home to an empty house is a close second.

You know you're right. If you read the profiles of the men our age, they are looking for young women 18-35 in most cases. If only they knew what they were missing by passing up experience for youth.

I have a close friend at work who has postponed her retirement a few times now to pay off some bills while she is still working. We have both said if we win the lottery we will share it so we can both retire! I would put some away for my son but not give it to him all at once. I would want him to continue to work until he is a little older so he wouldn't get lazy. Then I would set up a foundation and donate what is left. I only need enough so I don't have to worry about it. There is such a thing as having too much money. And I believe it was Dolly Levy who said money is like manure, it doesn't do any good until you spread it around!!

What a beautiful thought Cleo.

Darn, and I'm always looking for an excuse to bake! It's always fun to meet someone face to face that you have been talking to.

Cherokee, I did a similar search on another site for men my age in the entire state of Tenn and got 4!! Of the 4, 2 were married, 1 wrote nothing in his profile and I have been talking to the other one for 4 months now! His job keeps him traveling 24/7 but we have managed to meet 4 times, the shortest being 10 minutes and the longest for 2 hours. There has to be more single men our age out there somewhere!!!

I want to go to Vegas and what goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas!!

I was not able to have children. My only son is adopted. My husband and I spent 9 yrs on tests only to be told it would never happen. It's a hard thing to accept, but eventually you face the reality and go on with your life. At the time, there were not the options as there are today. Artificial insemination was just being used but my husband refused that option. Unfortunately, my son is about to marry a lovely girl who cannot have children either, so there will be no grandchildren either.

I helped my 2 adult nieces pick out the music for my brother's funeral. They settled on Chuck Berry!!

Little Darlin by The Diamonds! Yea, I know, it's really old!!

I'm here. How is everyone tonight?

I once flew from Pittsburgh to Atlanta TWICE!!! It might have worked out but I needed to know he would make the same trip for me and he wouldn't. I would like to think that distance wouldn't matter if I met the right one but now that I have moved to another state for a job, I'm not interested in moving again so it would have to be within driving distance.

Hi Dblnut, everyday is a beautiful day in E. Tenn!!

I still believe in happily ever after and see no reason why it can't happen. The biggest difference is now my Knight in Shining Armor is an older model and might have a few dings but it gives him character and what better way to live happily ever after than with a real character!!!
