I'm right there with ya on this one. I am 49, and have been told that I am attractive, but I sit with my cat watching dvd's on the weekends. I have tried dating online....and most of the men are really not the cream of the crop by any stretch of the imagination. I think the saying that all the goods ones are taken would hold true for women of our age. And I have tried dating a few younger men...not but much, maybe 5 or 6 years younger, and nope that was not the key either.
I do believe that, in my case, the problem lies with my being so independent. Men say they love an independent woman, but when it comes right down to it, they really don't. Because with independence comes a woman who knows her own mind, has her own opinions and is not afraid to express them. THAT is what I have found they DON'T like.
Therefore, I sit with my cat and watch movies.....at least I can watch what I want and not have to make a million compromises with someone who doesn't want to watch the same thing I do. Just trying to look at the bright side of things :)

Why dont you either use a hobby you enjoy doing to meet men, or choose a new hobby where men will be present and of course also enjoy? Look online and find group activities you can get involved with and learn from an instructor and get to know others in the class? And I always find it interesting that people feel as though they need to go out and do something to find a partner. What about locals in the neighborhood? That person you have always wanted to strike up a conversation you see at the grocery store always shopping by themselves? Good luck! hope this helps.

I'm 54 and widowed since 13 years. I decided that I would not date more than 5 years younger(if any). There are guys younger who are mature. I do not go to clubs, I go to flea markets, coffee shops, parks, etc. and there is ample opportunity to meet someone. Do some volunteer work for the disabled. You will be amazed on how many volunteers of your age bracket or older you will find there(usually retired from a job and in need to be productive, but not wanting to mess up their retirement checks). Good Luck

Join a group that interests you like a poetry, yoga or some other type of club where you can get to meet other people of all age groups and people your age tend to gravitate towards each other, but don't make it a strict rule to not date younger men. They can be alot of fun too,if only as friends.Good luck.

Church, singles groups, blind dates set up by friends, adult classes held at the local high schools for things such as learning italian or pottery. There are walking, hiking, swimming and running clubs. You are physically fit so maybe the gym or YMCA? There are a lot of places to meet people. If you check in your local newspaper, there are always community events going on. Maybe you can go with your friends out to one of them.
Good luck!

There must be some activities in your community you can involved. Volunteer. But there is one thing for sure they are not going to just start showing up and knocking on your door and dragging you out of the house. You are going to have to get out. look in the newspaper for activities. You have many choices besides bars(I assume that is what you mean by club)

Give younger men a try! Really. Women live longer than men. Unless you remove whatever socially imposed aversion you have toward dating younger men, you will be limiting your pool of eligible bachelors. Now get out there and go grab yourself a young buck!!

Find activities outside of your home. Find a bridge club or play golf or do something that allows you to meet men your age.
