So I signed up for one of those dating sites

Pawngal

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.

Mam you got more likes on your comment than any of us did. You reckon you hit home!!!!!! Are a nerve. My older brother is 90 and has had a thing for redheads. He still wows the ladies and the senior center!!!!

I thought it might be nice to meet someone with whom I might occasionally fix a fantastic meal or discuss the latest book we've read or do something else not at all related to our individual, and most likely completely unalike, lives.

You've reasonable goals. Sounds like maybe joining a local book or supper club might be fruitful. I sincerely wish you luck in your search.

My previous suggestion came from my being blessed by discovering several lifelong dear friends while exploring the wild western lands. I don't know why that geography brought us together, but I think when fellow travelers meet, we leave many of our defensive walls at home and are more open.

That's been my experience. We've been traveling up and down the west coast for about 4 years now. Most of the folks we've bumped into are a lot more friendly than our neighbors. There are RV parks that have one day a week social events for new comers. Most of the folks are retired and some are single. I don't think any of them are permanent residents, they just like the social aspect and warm winter weather. I've even met some single women (not that I'm looking) that boon dock. They really are an active group of senior citizens. Most of them aren't waiting on their social security check to pay their rent either. Put an RV hook up on your property and your troubles are over. :D

A friend in church was burnt badly by his Russian born wife. Those East European girls often look terrific but IMHO they're aliens from another planet, their thought processes and outlooks on life.....
No real rules for these things, as something a recluse I have found that
"It is better to be alone than to wish you were."
And dating is sort of a "try before you buy" procedure. You find out what you like-and don't like.

Folks just never know when they're going to say something that'll trip the right trigger. You've inspired me to look into a writers group that meets at the library in my hometown, 50 miles from here. Next meeting is less than two weeks away. Thank you!
 
"It is better to be alone than to wish you were."

I find a certain profoundness in your words, and while I don't consider myself reclusive some of my friends have suggested I am. I call it seclusive because there's nothing religious about it.

Hey, I know a guy that his only sexual companionship in the last ten years has been with his NIECE and the internet, things can't be that bad!
 
Best dog l ever had was Nipper.. Found him a the grocery store and took

him home... l knew he belonged to someone and posted a ''found'' ad in

the paper. Sure enough the owner shows up.. Me, "Want to sell Nipper?''

Him,"Nope, not for sale at ANY price.'' Three months owner calls, ''Want

to buy Nipper?'' Me, ''Sure. How much?'' 0wner, '' 75 bucks.'' We meet

Nipper is glad to see me.. l had to ask the owner why he changed his

mind.. He's getting married and can't keep Nipper... Couple years pass

and this guy calls me wanting to buy Nipper.. ''Hell NO'', l say. But why

the change in heart? Guy says wife/marriage didn't work out.. She cheated

on him..''Sorry to hear that,'' l replied.. Like Daddy used to say, ''You

can get a woman most anywhere.. But a GOOD DOG IS HARD TO FIND''
 
to quote Rudyard Kipling; "a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a SMOKE"
 
I'm 56. A year and half ago, wife of 20+ years decided she wanted out. I wasn't happy about it, but it had been coming for a long time, and it's been an amicable split (we haven't bothered to file yet, but no way there's going to be a reconciliation). Kids are handling it pretty well.'

The other day somebody asked about whether I was lonely and if I was dating. I said I wasn't really anxious to get back in the game and I have a dog to keep me company when the kids aren't around.

She says, "But don't you miss having someone to talk to?"

I say, "I have the dog."

She says, "But the dog can't talk back."

I say, "Exactly!"
 
sadly, most of the dating sites are full of people that use it as just a meat locker...
I am part of one of those sites and I was reading a profile of what I considered to be an attractive lady then I noticed everything she said she did not like doing such as goung to clubs, hangin out at local bars just happened to be in the backround of 95% of her pics she posted....... not to mention the half naked pics.
Please don't get me wrong, I am so far away from being prude but good grief. I really don't think dating should be so difficult but people make it that way.
Too many liberal minded females ( Bernie fans) makes me puke
