So I signed up for one of those dating sites

[two-bit cowboy]

What a pain in the derrière!

I'm looking for a friend, not a life-long soul mate.

The site wanted me to "tell all," and it expected me to know "exactly" who I was looking for. I have no clue!

I'm 65 and single (obviously, and it's none of their business why), and how the heck do I know who I'd like to meet?

Worse, now -- thanks to Google, I'm sure -- I can't hop on any website without being presented with America's cleavage! It's disgusting (I can't imagine what a Lady who signs up for a dating site gets bombarded with -- the Chip 'n' Dale boys?).

I'm a simple guy, but I enjoy deep conversations with intelligent folks (probably why I hang out here, ya?). I love the opposite sex (don't take that the wrong way) -- far more interesting than most of you other guys (don't take that the wrong way, either), but, wow, do I need to be indoctrinated? Uh, no!

I have plenty of friends and acquaintances (gals and guys). I go for days (sometimes weeks) without seeing another human. I'm good with that, but I'd enjoy having a gal "friend" with whom I can "communicate." I'm finding I may never reach that goal, but, gosh, is it really that tough?

I'd appreciate knowing your thoughts.

Most sincerely,

Keep fightin the fight TBC! Though I'm married to my best friend I totally get your conundrum. Good luck to you and to be honest, not seeing people for a few days ain't all bad![emoji41][emoji481]

Get a dog, best friend you'll ever have, and she'll listen to you all day long and never get tired of it. But beware she WILL be a life long soul mate

i'm 58 and widowed for three years now and the gals my age are so connected to their past that they have no time to socialize.

Grand babies and such.

I'm certainly not looking for another wife but I do like the ladies.

TELL IT LIKE IT IS.

NOT looking for Ms Right. Just Ms Right NOW. Kidding aside, just put it simply, what you are & are not looking for. Back before Mrs NG a coworker put up an add without my knowledge/approval for me. "SWM seeking Amazon lady wrestler". I got a response & we dated for a while, until I couldn't take those splashes from the top rope anymore.

Hurt me!

I quite enjoy the solitude. My best friend lives a quarter mile away, and I might see him twice a month. We're good with that. He's five years my elder and a chick magnet. That's his problem to deal with!

Oh, thanks for that. I was so attached to the puppies from my past relationship that I think I miss them more....

Thanks for that, BillyMagg.

The chuch's bell rings at 10 a.m. every Sunday. I know the whole congregation. Yes, they're all sweet gals, and they're all attached.

This is so true. Lock your dog and your girlfriend in the trunk of your car for an hour. When you open the trunk lid, one will be very happy to see you, the other will be mad.

Well I was on one of the sites for three years. Met a couple of nice ladies. Couple of nice looking single ladies my age at church. But the one I dated was too busy to do much. Being alone isn't too bad most of the time. But one likes to go out with a lady now an then. I'm not an animal lover. Nearly all the ladies have a dog are cat. So unless you like their dog your a jerk. You have to find one that's not scared to death of little old J frame SW. Guess I'm no help but hang in there you never what might wander into your life.

From the ladies side........

I tried a couple of the sites. I decided most of the men were intimidated
by a self sufficient, pickup drivin', sports car lovin', gun totin', whiskey drinkin' redhead. And my dog didn't like any of them.

 

[Ozark Marine]

Never will sign up for anything again.
First thing I signed up for...USMC
Second after being EAS from USMC for 5 great years...marriage license.
Third divorce papers.
Why pay a dating site to find you trouble?

 

[STCM(SW)]

" whiskey drinkin' redhead."

My "X" who died the day after my birthday this year!

 

[wood714]

I was with the same lady for 31 years. Drugs messed her up leading to a divorce 7 years ago.

Been the best 7 years of my life. Paid off my house, and everything I own. Come and go as I please, aint got anyone to answer to.

Wouldn't have the first clue about dating, unless she was into bikes, guns, surfing or photography.

To be honest at 60 years old, the main thing I miss about being married is food. My ex was a killer cook, was killer at other "things" too!

I love spending time alone, hanging out around the house, the beach or going for a ride. I never get lonely...I have a bunch of grubby biker friends that are like family I can hang out with, but I'm not much into the bar scene anymore.

There's your problem right there.They aren't looking for a friend...
They aren't wired that way
