I was on one of the sites for a couple of years in my early 50s. Met and went out with a few very nice ladies. The last one was especially nice.
Married now for nine years.

ALWAYS listen to your dog.
A lot of me are afraid of that, but some one is looking for you. I might have been myself before I found someone.
Just like the OP, some lady is looking for someone just like you.
Keep looking. Hey, its kind of like collecting guns. Half the fun is looking. Sometime after my wife my wife past, I started looking, met some interesting ladies that just didn't fit, still most of the time meeting someone and having dinner or something is at least interesting even if you figure out its not a fit. I got lucky and found someone. 3 years later she died. Super hurts, but life goes on. Married again and a happy camper.
Don't quit looking, don't sweat the small stuff unless they do and if they sweat small stuff move on. One thing about more mature people, most of them do have a little baggage, but many of them have figured out how to handle life.

That is the rear end ratio in my 55 Chevrolet. Sometimes it is cheaper to rent.
I don't know.........I'm a old widower/codger too..Had a wife or two or three...Participated on the show, "How I met your Mom"...so I think I can state with some authority..
Women are like underwear...They should be changed at least once a week. (No offense Pawngal)
Don't soil the ones you got, or you won't be able to return them.
Having a good fitting set of drawers beats going without.
Having a good female companion, is one that doesn't mind going Dutch, that way you'll be able to find out if they're a gold digger or not.
A good match is also one, that I have the beer, she has the ice bucket. When the beer is finished, and the ice melted, then it's time to retreat to our respective places to recoupe.

I was divorced at 50 and got on some dating sites and I listed my interests as outdoor activities like hunting, camping, and bicycling. Women on other sites listed similar interests and we chatted online and I would say "so where do you like to go camping"? and she would say "I'm not really sure I haven't been since I was eleven". So I would say "so what type of bicycling do you like"? and she would say "I actually haven't owed a bike in 20 years". So what does she really like to do? Eat, shop, and spend money.

This, except for the redhead part,pretty much describes my wife.
I found myself single at 35, more than 20 years ago. I stumbled onto this gal, and ended up marrying her.
Some folks mistake her quiet self assurance for weakness. Woe to the fool when she drops the hammer.
Hardest working woman I've ever known, good looking too. No idea why she married me. I think I caught her in a weak moment.
The point being, I wasn't looking when I met her.
Might be better off just chatting and looking for locals on here lol. I tried a couple dating sites when I was younger and not as smart, and I dated a couple girls for a while (one about a year that I got engaged to and broke it off) and I will say, most (not all) but most of the girls on there have some issue with getting or keeping men. The two girls I was with for a while were head cases- manipulative, wouldn't listen and wouldn't work with you on anything... That's just my experince. I know people who have met their spouses on those sites, and I guess at the time I was too. But, I ended up just giving up looking for almost 2 years, just hung out with buddies at car shows, went drag racing all the time, and then met my wife in my 6th year of college (no I'm not a doctor, I changed majors twice) when I was not looking.
Just having someone to talk to is key though, and I'm sure you're not necesarily looking for a mate at 65. I don't have great advice for you, but keep your chin up, and something will happen.

When I was a little boy my mom always told me to be careful what you wish for because you might get it.
Just as true now, in my late 60's, as it was back then.

Listen, then when you open your mouth tell them what they want to hear. Many gals are looking for a buddy, some looking for more than a buddy.
Mail order Ukrainian/Russian Women!
But then some guys will whine that delivery service was not on time!
Heck I think there is a stupid TV show one now about this

FYI: I heard someplace that a man should go for a gal half his age + 7 years. Might want to start some cardio work now.

I've tried social media e.g. myspace/facebook. And this one "dating site" called "Plenty of fish". But all I got were mostly overweight women that wanted to hit the sack, ugly or looking for a sugar daddy.
I'm just gonna go to the shelter & adopt a dog.

You can always trust your dogs instincts about people. I think it has to do with body language. That's pretty much how they roll.
Other than that I don't want to participate in this conversation. I've been married 3 times so nobody here needs my advice.

The "sugar daddy" syndrome works both ways.
I call it "looking for a nurse and a purse" No thanks.
I spent 6 years nursing my late hubby thru stage 4 cancer, kidney failure and dementia. I am not up to doing that again.
I am financally secure but I'm not gonna support a man
Sorry if I sound like a b****

Me too Pawngal....Took care of my Mrs. (Colon cancer)
Put me down for a been there, done that, got a T shirt.
On another note....Being at this age of a old codger, and dating a woman my age...I can pretty much tell what she'll look like when she gets older.
Now one of the types I pretty much stay away from, is this week's winner of the WalMart.... Dress for Success gals. Or one that if one was to get into any kind of lengthy endeavor, one would probably have to change the mattress every year, because it was sagging, more so on one side.
Another thing I look out for, is one that snores.
Now I believe in sharing, but not the cup for our teeth at night.

An original BEAUTIFUL LADY OF WRESTLING: LADY DYNOMITE, 1-800-cry-uncle.
I tried that once. 3 dates, nice local guy. Got a phone call from his ex (???) wife and had to leave. At least he left me a nice bottle of wine.
