People over 59 may date but not many of them. I just did a 50 mile radius search for women 59-99. The results show one woman who has been online in the last month and probably 20+ pages of those who haven't. Obviously they aren't that much interested in dating. While there may be some who do date, they sure aren't active where they can be found.

Many are on relationship sites. Paidns ssites geared for relationships. Many are not on any date site! They don't like Online. Dating is not limited to One site !

no, no, no....not online but in real life!! What do all these women do for social outings and activities? They certainly are not in places or doing activities I might be doing!!! There are a few of you older gals on here in the forums. What are your general social plans for the weekend?

People that are over 59 are dating maybe because they have friends that know people and can introduce them. Others are out doing things and meet different kinds of people.

Obviously, my lifestyle does not bring me into contact with very many single, older ladies. Most of the women I meet are either with someone or significantly younger. Oh well, I'm not about to make a major change to my lifestyle to reflect that of many older women or what they desire.

Well, you could do a census search for the places in the US where demographics shows there are more women over 50 than men. Then, you could refine those results to women over 50 in single households. Then with the correct results, you can move to one of those areas and see if you find more women in your selection range within your preferred social activity. You can research the social activities of the women in your preferred age range in a specific area to see if any of those activities align with your preferred activities. You however, do also have to understand that even if you find the best possible location with the highest number of matches, it is still up to the individual woman to decide if she is interested in adding you to her social circles.

Its more challenging in rural areas when you aren't from the area, and your suddenly on your own. I have noticed many women over 50 are prone to a snap judgement and a second date is harder to come by, for many reasons. If I could network people I would do that too. Certain challenges with that for the time being.

The demographic you refer to is the strongest in the southern states where around 65-70% of the singles are women over 50. As you say, it is still up to them and there is this significant lifestyle split between men and women. The challenge continues to be finding them to even have a probability that they might be interested.

There is not an age limit to dating, but why at my age of 51, the men that want to date me are in their late 60's and 70's? I'm talking about guys from my town. I guess they are widowed or divorced a couple of times. I'd date someone my age.

The challenge continues to be finding them to even have a probability that they might be interested. When I was single and healthy in the 70's and 80s living near VA Beach there was not an issue with finding women. Women in their 20s and 30s were pretty abundant. Now, at 58 and not healthy, I don't interact with women in my age preferences. Its not because they're not around. Its because they are already involved with things that are personally chosen and I do not have any inside information. I could expand my age preference range and find a lot of women. It just depends on my reason for looking. I'm looking for women that are close to my age. The kind of relationship I seek is one of shared experiences and values. Therefore, I restrict my dating pool on purpose.

That is equivalent to some gal looking for someone to live with and support her. Maybe that is what some gals mean when they say they are looking for a "relationship".

"A nurse and a purse" is the phrase describing what many older men are looking for in a woman.
