Getting old may be depressing but it sure beats the alternative ......for the time being at any rate.

I'd love to be in my fifties. It sucks that I look younger than my age. Some say it's lucky, but then I get rapper-types after me, and it puts me off. Give me an old-fashioned man any day.

I think I was better prepared for being alone since that was kind of the drift of my early years but I was hoping it wasn't going to turn out that way. Now that it has; living alone without dependent kids, spouses, or parents is kind of a relief.

And I have found myself backing away from people that have adult "kids" living in the home using the parent like and ATM with hair and running the roads while the grandparents are unpaid childcare with zero appreciation. I get temporary emergencies happen but I don't want to adopt another entire family.

And if the guy is so "dependent" his kids have to take care of him then I feel more like a nurse than a mate.

HI

LOVE IS ABOUT MUTUAL RESPECT,APART FROM ATTRACTOINS

really

In my aging, I hope to stay busy enough to ward off any depression caused by being/living alone..
Living in this climate, I find I am more 'out and about' in the fair weather - attending a festival- of which in the summer, there is almost one every weekend.. going for walks. I enjoy sports, so I watch games at a sportsbar.. I have been known to strike up conversations or make comments to/with people I come across at these places - in bank lineups, grocery store, the bar...just chatting..
I also volunteer within our community...
So, try to stay busy and enjoy yourself and who knows what will come your way.?

still have goals to accomplish
still have a kiddo home with me to raise
try to keep motivated
and keep busy

well there you have it you can't be getting old

Life is what you make it.

When I get old I still want to do things and get up to mischief.
A little bit of fun helps you to you enjoy life.

Life is for the living so enjoy, have fun.

Here ya go!

Hi Judy, I am in the same boat. My husband passed away 5 years ego and I became lonely. I am now 65 and still working to not let myself be locked at home. Activities like camping, skiing, hiking or even theater are awkward and not fun when done without companion. I am trying to find a companion for a while, but men in our age are looking for ladies in their 50th or younger. The guys in their 70th are not able to keep up with any activities and need more of a nanny than companion. If I got interest from somebody younger it showed up to be a scanner. It is not easy being alone in our age.

I am an older single man, who works to support myself and my son, living with my son, his wife and 2 kids, yet I'm still lonely, need a woman beside me.

In my years I have found, I can get along with myself better.

That's a good starting place.

For The First Time In My Life, I'm Alone and I Hate It. I Was 17yrs old when I got married. I Did To Get Away From my Parents. My Mom Loved The Bottle More Than her life or her daugther.My Stepfather Sexual Abuse Me. I Stayed married for 12yrs,had 5 boys. All Grow Up and Has Familes Of Their Own. My Roommate [ my aunt] passed away end of Aug. So Now I'm Here Alone with a dog n 2 kittys. I don't know why I've a phone,noone calls. Enough Feeling Sorry For Myself. It's Just I Didn't See My Life This Way.

I'm not sure anyone "sees" themselves in a true light until we get there. It's not pretty a lot of the time either. I'd just like some reality and truth from people on these sites. It's why i made my profile so specific. My life is what i've made it. Sad to know i'm not the only lonely one out there.
