Might want to watch OurTime. I have been on the site (I am a 53 year old man) and found that ratio of women to men is favorable if you are a man looking for a woman. In fact, I am more likely to get contacted on OurTime than Match, more likely to get contacted on Match than OKCupid.

The swipe sites (Tinder, Bumble, and Coffee Meet Bagel) seem to have more men on them than OurTime or Match. However, I do not have any solid evidence that this is true.

OP - I hope mom meets someone nice. I think that on-line dating plus meeting people in person (meet-up groups focused on an activity like hiking, drinking wine, cooking) is a good way to balance a newly forming social life.

Best of luck.
I kicked him out because he went outside to be interviewed. I heard the police say to him: "The police in X state have been trying to get a hold of you to no avail." He asked me to close the window so I couldn't overhear. That made me suspicious.

His friend disclosed to him last week that he had been swabbed. He's known for a week that his co-workers were being swabbed. He neglected to tell me.

To me, that seems like guilty behavior.



Too many things are not adding up. If the police had been swapping others in the DH's work group, then they would have likely bagged them at work and got the DH at the same time. However, it took the police a week to find the DH even though they work at the same place. How far away are the offices from one another? Also, if there was a rape on company or goverment property, why would the company/agency let the people they knew were being investigated come back to work without them being questioned first?

The DH asked the DW to close the open window after the cops started the questioning? The DH has the presence of mind to ask the cops to step outside so they can talk in front of an open window? More than that, the DH knew his wife was at the window or he would not have asked her to shut it. She just happened to be standing at the open window to hear part of the conversation, then gets seen by the DH, then told to shut the window?

Nope. Too many things about this tale do not make sense. Unless we are watching it on Lifetime.

BTW - Match is a great place for the 50+ set to meet nice people.
Haha, as long as you're willing to date a bit older (65+), you wouldn't have any issue getting all the action you want now. Just make sure you're spending time in a 55+ community. And I'll tell you, there are some GOOD looking women at those ages, they aren't all gray-hairs who haven't taken care of themselves.


There are huge number of good looking women in that age range. That has never been the problem. The problem was that they never noticed me unless their calculator broke.

Now, with all the good looking quarterback types out of the way, I can move to the front of the line to find someone to come over and watch Star Trek reruns with me.

ALL TAKERS PLEASE PM ME NOW. First come, first serve.

Please be cool with me wearing my Starfleet Captains outfit (unless we go out - I am not a total geek.)
LOL - I mean, you can do whatever you want. But most men who become widowers in their later years really want the presence of a woman. Research actually shows that men are likely to remarry quicker, especially if they were in a happy marriage.


This is great. I put my keyboard on my lab so I can do sit-ups to type.

I am not that cute but it sounds like all I need to do is just survive for 5 more years until I am sixty. And then, having outlived most of the good-looking guys, I can be the ladies man I always wanted to be (and hoped being president of the high school math club would have made me.)

If you are looking for a successful, financially secure man you should try looking at the international CPA firms (e.g., the Big 4 accounting firms.)

Not only are these guys successful and financially secure, they are also normally crazy hot and very, very well endowed. You can always count on them <snicker> for mind blowing sex.

Signed,

Not an ad for CPAs as all.
OP - do you and your DH have kids?
Married 11 years, 3 kids and then she decided she is gay


Wow. Sorry to hear this. Are you divorced now?
Calling them "children" in an effort to sugar-coat this fact and to make people feel bad if they don't want to assume that burden is stupid and mendacious.


Most normal people call them children because that is what they are.
"Baggage" is shorthand for "a huge, multi-year emotional and financial burden that you should think very carefully before you assume and needn't feel bad if you'd rather not do so".

How is avoiding calling children "baggage" making people feel bad for not being parents?

You appear to have way too much emotion wrapped up in not being a parent of “multi-year emotional and financial burdens.” Did your mommy and daddy tell you were a burden? Do they tell you that now?
Exactly my thoughts. What a horrible way to label children. They are people, with hearts and feelings. How dare you call them baggage!!!! What a jerk.


Call them whatever you want,


How about calling them children? The other posters are correct. Calling children baggage is horrible.
I grew up ÛMC/global elite and am marrying a first generation college graduate from a LMC/blue collar family.


Did you grow up in Downton Abbey? Do you have a cool title (e.g., Lady Pussyfoot)?

Do the global elite have secret meetings? Do these meeting include extraterrestrials?
My girlfriend and I were discussing how men and women perceive their own attractiveness differently.

My thought was that men often believe they are more attractive than they really are (e.g., he thinks he is an 8 when he is really a 6) and women do not think they are as attractive as they really are (e.g., she thinks she is a 6 when she is really an 8). She also believed this was often the case.

While realizing there are many exceptions, what do you think?
She's pretty and successful, but morally bankrupt.


Hi. Where is she now? Just asking, you know, for a friend.
