Marriage was created centuries ago in an attempt by the church to force men to support their offspring and their mother.

I just did a search on here for ladies 50-70 within 25 miles. I got 5 returns but only 1 has been on here in the last month. When I open up the age group to include 30 and above, I find many more ladies on Mingle. I doubt most 30 and 40 yer olds have much of an honest interest in someone twice their age! Geographic area and population have a lot to do with who is out there.

Statistically, men die before women as we all age. That means there are more women than men as we get into older age groups. Where do all these older women disappear to as you don't find them on dating sites and you don't generally find them out socializing?? Do they just stay at home and let the world pass them by? Are they just anti-social as they age?

March For Our Lives

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61772039 Thousands of protesters are gathering across the US to call for stricter gun laws in the wake of last month's mass shooting in Texas. Gun safety group March For Our Lives - founded by survivors of the 2018 Parkland school shooting - said some 450 rallies were planned for Saturday. It said it would not let politicians "sit back" as people continue to die. US President Joe Biden backed the protests, calling on Congress to "pass common sense gun safety legislation". Nineteen children and two adults were killed in the 24 May shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas. That attack, and another days earlier in Buffalo, New York, in which 10 people were killed, has led to renewed calls for action on gun control in the US. Girls at March For Our Lives demonstration in Washington March For Our Lives (MFOL) said political leaders' inaction was killing Americans. "We will no longer allow you to sit back while people continue to die," Trevon Bosley, a MFOL board member, said in a statement. Speaking to protesters in Washington DC, one of the survivors of the Parkland shooting, David Hogg, said the killings of children in Uvalde "should fill us with rage and demands for change, not endless debate, but demands for change, now." Garnell Whitfield, whose 86-year-old mother was killed in the racially-motivated shooting in Buffalo, New York on 14 May, told crowds in Washington: "We are here to demand justice. "We are here to stand with those who are bold enough to demand sensible gun legislation." Among other policies, MFOL has called for an assault weapons ban, universal background checks for those trying to purchase guns and a national licensing system, which would register gun owners. Rallies are being held in cities including Washington, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. |

Hi Bill, I too am in a similar situation. I guess my COPD isn't yet as bad as yours although I continue to have heart issues. Work closely with your medical providers and actively participate in your care. There are some drugs that can significantly improve your quality of life. I expect another 10-15 years living as best I can. It is far from hopeless!!! I also live alone and expect to spend the rest of my life alone other than friends and children.

Does anyone know of a dating site where honest women actually are interested in dating?
|
|
|

This is what we need to improve the senior life!!

In my experience, there are very few over 50 women available either on dating sites or in local social settings. They either aren't interested in meeting anyone or are not sociable.

There seems to be a significant misunderstanding of SCOTUS and abortion! SCOTUS is not deciding if abortions should be legal or not but if the US constitution protects the right to have an abortion or if government has the right to pass regulations about abortions. As I understand, the original basis for Roe was based on the concept of privacy guaranteed by the constitution making the choice of getting an abortion a decision between the woman and her doctor without government interference.
The real question comes down to that personal privacy vs government's right to invade your privacy and when or for what purpose by which level of government. We currently allow even local units of government to invade our privacy in certain ways supposedly under the guise of "for the public good". When does the constitutional protections of privacy override the government's "for the public good"? |

Now if it ever becomes tolerable outside (there WILL be a few decent days yet before fall) it would be nice to find a new friend or 2, especially female, to share those few days with. I'm starting to see a few outdoor concerts, outdoor dinners, and some theater; even a Twins game where they win!!

Hopefully winter is about over, maybe this is the last spell of it. Hate to think I came back north way too early in the spring. Mostly hibernate for Easter weekend and then maybe we can find some life outdoors.

While it seems that some of you had creative, artistic youthful experiences, mine were significantly different. It was based much more on the skills necessary to become a self-sufficient person. That doesn't mean not being creative or artistic but the difference between visualizing something and the ability to create that something. Some of the first experiences where with the Tinker toys and erector sets. I remember building a simple robot to collect my Valentines cards in grade school. Simply several boxes fastened together along with legs and covered in decorative paper. It had several Christmas light bulbs powered by a battery but didn't do anything else. Today there are very few everyday projects that I don't know how to do. I think my step-son got his first real set of tools around 10 or 12. While he isn't a mechanic, he still has his set of tools and uses them regularly. We can never have too many skills and we never know when the situation will require us to make use of those skills. Continue to learn for your entire life for it is impossible to know everything. A desire to learn is the greatest gift you can pass on to your children!!

Maybe Biden spoke what he truly believes about any leader of any country he sees as non-democratic! Given enough time, he will start more of a war than we are already in!!!

For some, especially when younger, having sex is the most important thing in their life. While this may wain as they age, it probably will never go away. For some, there can be no relationship that doesn't include an adequate sex life.

Best way to cook venison ?
|
|
You need to know the source and approximate age of the animal. Like beef, a younger animal will be more tender than an old one. Where it was harvested and what the diet was makes a great difference in the meat taste. Venison fed on good grasses and corn is very similar to beef although a leaner meat. A venison that has fed on tree parts, nuts, and seeds will usually have an undesirable taste. For an older animal, try a marinade similar to what you would use for beef to help tenderize the meat. Venison is an excellent choice for those wishing to eat a low fat diet; consider it about the same fat content as 95-98% lean ground beef. Once seared, low heat for an extended time works well; also you may need to use a small amount of some type of oil.

Just suggesting that you would give a "gift" in exchange for some level of sexual activity is ILLEGAL!! Some communities spend many dollars trying to apprehend men and women looking for consensual pleasure.

My last divorce, less than 10 years ago, cost me over $250k including part of my assets obtained prior to that marriage. When divorce settlements become based on what you brought into a marriage and what each earned during the marriage, then we will have a level playing field and a man can afford to take a chance on marriage. Equal risk for a woman. Did you think of that? The way you present it is as if only a man ever brings stuff & money into a relationship. Women do the exact same thing so it's THEIR risk just the same. Yet, they still do it. And men can screw their ex over big time. My mom is a good example of that. She was owed half of the house they'd had built, some $150.000, and some $2-3000 a month in alimony. Never seen a cent! He was living in luxury with it, my mother in poverty. She couldn't do a thing as he lived abroad and still does to date. If you don't want that risk you can go for a prenup. That's what it's for. Problem sorted. |
