Are the men who posted above as "single" actually single as in never married or are you actually, divorced or widowed?

54 year old single guy. I prefer women around my own age but some have issues with sex caused by either a crummy relationship or physical issues that all/most women eventually face. I have no desire for a 30 something as I have no desire for more children. So that means the 40-47 year old is the sweet spot. I'm lucky that I've been able to meet people without using the dating sites, mostly through friends, business or sports. The one exception to all of the above was a fabulous 63 year old I met on vacation in Europe. She was a challenge to keep up with!

However, if you hear about better places to meet and greet and I am open to it.


Which online sites have you tried?



I have tried:

Match - It it worked very well for me. Very nice women looking for someone for something more than a casual relationship.
OKC - It it was okay. You never knew what was going to happen. Great girls to bunny boilers.
Bumble - It it was okay - see OKC.
Tinder - My mistake. In so many ways.


Are you still on them?

I would seek out a church with a high population of singles and/or over 50 year olds, single or not. It's a safe and genuine way to meet people. Not suggesting to begin going to church as a way to meet men, but to broaden your social network - which can help you to meet men! Of course this suggestion is only for people that are interested in being part of a church community, I realize that many people are not at all interested in this.


At 53, I am one of the youngest single men at my church. Word.

Yes but like all men in their 50s, you are looking for 20- and 30-somethings not 50-somethings like OP.


Nope. My kids are in their early 20s and dating that young is not for me. The youngest woman I have gone out with was 46 and my last girlfriend was 52.

I like to date single moms (age range 48-55) who kids are at least in high school.

I have the most in common with these women and they seem the most interested in me. Thank God.
