It's been said you're only as old as you feel.
I have no idea how old I feel since I can't get a woman to feel me and let me know how old I feel.

Mot 2 ax handles wide? Are you saying NOT FAT?
IF so i think you need a mirror before talking like that.

Stop smoking so you can quit taking years off you and those around you. I know you will get more attention when you do.

I hate when they do that! I don't feel 59 but I am. I hate it but it's true.

No.

chat me we see

It's been said that you're only as old as the woman that you feel

51, in New Port Richey, Florida .
Work full time m-f, live alone in nice apartment complex, ride a Harley and it is my main source of transportation, I have a work truck if I need. Anyway, looking for someone who is fun, and responsible.

Or your only as old as the women you can get to feel you.

Lol

No groups at all? Where do you live? I mean I see where you are from in your profile, but are you in a very rural area? Just curious because I've had a lot of fun doing activities with Meetup like listening to live, music, going out to dinner, going to movies & dancing.

mmm.. maybe to date a younger woman?

How old are you?

There are a number of people in most areas in Meet Ups looking for groups in an area. Even if you are not interested in being an organizer or it isn't your thing, you might be able to persuade someone else to be the organizer if they know they will have help. Doing the organizing and event planning takes time and effort; just someone with ideas and willing to do some of the leg work makes a big difference. If you are interested in some type of group, join Meet Ups and see what you can accomplish. Becoming a member costs nothing and could lead to something new for you. Remember, it is not a dating site but a place for people with similar interests to get together and share those interests.

I'm working with a local group in my area to create an event planning team to support our organizer. I think it has good possibilities of making a strong, active social group.

Nope.
As I said..most are an hour away (Knoxville).
The 2 that *were* local-ish disbanded.
As I *said*..I am not interested in being told "start your own"...
I am not an organizer...but will glady help someone else insofar as support/ help..
We all have different talemnts/ capabilities, and, that's OK.


Heck, i made a group on Facebook last year (Sept.) for like-minded single people in my area..
So far, no one has asked to join...I can't promote it...have no idea how....

Facebook is mostly useless for starting a group outside of your friend/contact list. Nobody gets notified that your group even exists and you have no way of knowing who might be interested so you can message them.

What you can do on facebook is ask all your friends to 'like' your group. Their friends will see what they have liked and some of them might also 'like' your group. The more likes you get the more the group gets noticed.

As far as I know, it is also possible to take out an advert for the group and target the advertising to people who live near you, are in your age range, or whatever criteria you request. If that isn't possible, it should be!

My 25 friends on FB are all in other states.(CO, NY, WA, etc...)
They are people I have known for almost 20 years (since the internet thingy realy got going).
We met in a chat room/ bulletin board thing of a common thing we all shared, and have stayed in touch through various groups over the years..
Then when FB came along..it was free..so we all went there in a closed/ private group.

I am not interested in casually adding strangers..

I did try to set up a Meetup group last week...unfortunately..it isn't free (I didn't not know that)..and I am not interested in shelling out money for something that may not yield any results.
But, back to FB..
I *thought* if people did a search for a topic they are interested in...a bunch of groups come up...that'smhow *I* have found other group/pages I frequent.

So, seems to me if someone searchs for "Over 50 dating" on FB..they'd stumble across mine.
Nope, no one here needs to know the name...because if there were any likely men in my area (Middle TN)...I would have run across them on here by now (via the search by zip code).

I looked for 'Over 50 dating' on fb and was not surprised to find that there are many of them. Also that the ones that showed on my computer are from the UK, as that is where I am. However, some had names like 'Over 50 dating in the USA' so maybe they are all there.

As I'm sure you know, a 'closed group' on fb can be seen by others but they can't join unless invited. A 'secret group' is just that, only members know about it and can see it. These groups are totally invisible to everyone else.

Of course fb collects a vast amount of data from all its members. We would all be amazed if we could see everything they know about us. I can tell that's true in my case because the 'people you might know' feature regularly suggests people I have not seen or had any connection with for many years, people who I never knew were on fb! fb is a scary place, but sadly necessary these days.
