You may be right, Joan….though, for me, who is not so good with being 66, and alone, it’s very hard to resign to the fact that there’s nothing more left. No companionship, enjoyment of life with another. But, I’m not a model and have health issues…I would hope that wouldn’t disqualify me…Especially on a SENIOR site…My husband left 6 years ago, after we had a very loving, connected relationship for 17years ~ he has dementia, sooo sadly, and I’ve found, that everything doesn’t play out like the Notebook movie…Anyway, I don’t know WHAT to do in regards to joining a site. I’m kind of scared and don’t have much of an income , to afford what some of these sites seem to want. Any suggestions ?
I have tried all the date sites and never had any luck.They all tell you what you want to hear and all become lies. Or all want money. No luck with any or them
I have decided to reenter the dating game after 15 years of keeping silent and to myself with family. I just woke up one day and decided at 66, I want to meet a man that has similar likes and dislikes as me. I have a small farm that I dearly love working on and grow all my food, including chickens. It is almost impossible to find a man that likes this sort of lifestyle, much less wants to be involved in it. The perfect partner for me would certainly be a small farmer that loves the soil and works it with love every day. He would also have to like salt water fishing because next to the soil that is a big love of mine as well.

Honestly, I have heard other stories too. In regular life, I really do not encounter people being as deceptive, evasive, or inconsistent. I do realize that women may have security issues with internet dating, I do understand that reality and it may be contributing to people being deceitful, male & female.
Hi Lisa, we’re sorry you had this issue with the AARP site. We can’t attest to results, but we do know several people who have used it without having any technical issues. After you enter your basic details, the site loads a pop-up window asking for email – ie: registration. It’s possible your connection was slow – or that you have pop-ups disabled in your browser.

Generally speaking, if someone is single at our age, there’s a reason for it, and a lot of times the reason is that they suck at relationships.
I’ve been on ALL of the dating sites, one time or another cause mainly I refuse to give up. POF is one of the worst. I was on there the other day, thinking I would put up my profile once again. I did a search and there is absolutely not one guy I’d be interested in. NOT one! All profiles have been on POF for at least 5 years. Not one has been updated, not one. Same old photos, same old blah blah blah. What does that tell you?
