You would think that people over 50 would want to find someone to be with, long-term. Am I wrong?

No, you are not wrong. Keep an open mind and be patient. I have been blessed with meeting someone. It happened when I wasn't looking. He just showed up out of the blue and swept me off my feet. I am certainly no great beauty, but he saw something in me that no one else ever has. I feel like a school girl with my first love. I have always heard that you cannot find love by looking for it. Love will find you at the right time. Now I know it is true. I wish you luck.

if a person reaches 50 without remaining in a commited relationship up to that point what would make them more able to make a commitment just because they are 50? The longer you live independent the harder it is to share your time and life. People don't like change and the older you get the more set in your ways you will tend to get.

Because people 50 and older are pretty set in their opinions and ways about things- it's kinda hard to make a permanent match. Then again, some 50+s have been through the rigamarole of marriage and kids and whatnot through life, and now just want to have fun.

Yes but sadly at 50 most people are either;
a) married
b) divorced and not looking for a long-term relationship
c) divorced over two times and 100% not interested in a long-term relationship
d) dead
e) homeless, jobless, bums.

curious 1, I wish the hell I knew. I am over 50 in fact over 60 and I would like to have a committed relationship but it just seems hard to find someone. I am sure the fact that as you grow older you slow down, you are subject to more sickness and your desire and energy are depleted. I certainly am glad I have six granddaughters to share my love with for without them and my children I would be very lonely......

No, but I think that a person carries baggage to a new relationship from all previous ones. I wouldn't know personally, but it seems to me that most people are pretty self assured by the time they reach their 50's and don't have that "I need someone to complete me" mindset that perhaps a twenty-something might feel.

I don't think your wrong. I just think that people have become too complacent with (being single) that they have lost the sight of what being committed is all aobut. If you don't have a commitment you don't have to work hard at making a relationship work.

Maybe it's because if they were really interested in a committed relationship they'd be in one already? (This of course, does not apply to those who have been through a divorce or have suffered the death of a spouse.)

i am male/54. i am looking for a committed relationship. i think a lot of people have lots of baggage. when that gets checked, the person examining it with radar ends up being disappointed.
