Hearing Dad talk to his OLD dating matches is so cringe.

Aww. That’s so adorable not cringe. I’d feel so sorry and want to help him find a partner.. he’s 80.. be gracious

I do not find it adorable at all. It’s actually revolting to me. If he was capable of living on his own maybe it wouldn’t be that bad, but I’ve been taking care of him since my mom died, and I find it to be just awful. He refuses to go to assisted living where I think he’d be much happier. It’s killing me.

There's a about 1.5 women for every man at that age level.

You may want to be sure he's not going to marry one and give his estate to her when he passes away.

Have you tried to sell assisted living as a good way to meet women who would also be there and his age? good luck!

He probably doesn’t know how to date. How long has he been single/widowed? Do you have the type of relationship with him that you can tell him how he comes across to the opposite sex? It sounds like he’s lonely and just doesn’t know what to do?

This is exactly it. He hasn’t dated since the 60s! She’s been gone 5 years. No, I don’t have the type of relationship where I can give him advice, and I don’t want to have that type of relationship. I don’t want to discuss s3x with my dad which seems to be his main focus. Maybe he thinks this is his last hurrah?

It is

I’m 54 and my bf is 61. We have enough in common and find a lot to talk about. When he starts rambling about himself I just tune him out. In other words, the good out weighs the bad. At this point in my life, I’m looking for companionship. If I can get that 60% of the time we’re together, I can ignore the rest. At our age, we all come with baggage and habits. He puts up my stuff as much as I put up with his.

Interesting, so maybe a 70 year old will just be happy to be out at dinner and can tune him out?

That’s what I do. Can’t have it all at my age. My bf listens to me ramble on about my grandkids and what tv shows I’m watching. He’s a sports person and I’m a Bridgeton person. My nonsense occupies as much of the conversation as his does.

Many times. He is not looking to hang out with “old” people.

Are you 54 and a grandmother already?

Learned about that from DCUM. He said he isn’t looking to get married.

So let him date and try to pawn him off on someone else? Isn’t that the end game? FWIW my 79 yr old dad was recently widowed and would like to meet women but hasn’t met any. He’s not going to do OLD, too many scammers. He tried church and met some weirdos. It’s tough out there.

He's 80.

He’s ripe pickings for a gold digger.

After a certain age, there are way more women than men, so all they need is a pulse.

Sad but true.

Dad has just stared in OLD and I must admit he’s gotten a lot of pings and some of the women are what I’d consider attractive. Are there lots of scammers?

Have you offered to help him? “Dad, how’s OLD working out? Oh, not getting a lot of second calls or dates? Do you want my opinion?”
