Go by the numbers ...
How easy or difficult it might be to find a date in another EU country (using CS) depends a lot on the market share CS has in different countries. This varies dramatically!

As an example I've checked the number of women 40 and over in few EU countries.

In my native Belgium there now are 378 female 40+ CS members for a population of well over 11 M (of course all ages and both gender).
This does compare favourably to Italy where there are only 395 for a population of 60 M (over 5 times more)
and France isn't a lot better: 466 for a population over 65 M.
Spain does better than both France and Italy with 1095 women over 40 registered for a 47.5 M population.
Yet all of the above turn bleak considering the 3758 Irish women on CS of that same age range in a population of only 5 million... and we haven't got the winner yet, since there currently are 1034 Maltese female CS members in a population of only 441 thousand.

Note: all of the above numbers were obtained on the same day. Selections need to be narrowed down to less than 5000. The easiest method is applying an age interval narrow enough for the purpose.

Another issue to consider is the propensity of any individual to create and use a CS profile. Europeans having moved to a different country are more inclined to date other expats (or migrant retirees) than locals firmly anchored within their community.

After Beating Cancer Twice, Louisiana Woman Marries for the First Time at 73 — and She Has No Regrets.


Don't let age stop you from finding true love, 74-year-old Audrey Parker Green and 75-year-old Allen Green tell PEOPLE. After experiencing many of life's ups and downs together, the duo got married in July 2021 — and now they want to encourage other older couples to follow suit when the timing feels right.

"We just want to be voices for the people in their 60s, 70s," says Allen. "Just go for it, because you don't have to live alone in the last part of our years."

Audrey always meant to get married and have children — she wanted four! — but for most of her life, it wasn't in the cards. "I never wanted to marry very young," she says, "but I didn't anticipate marrying this old either." Then, right before her 73rd birthday, she told her boyfriend, "Wow me." He proposed.

Their road to marriage began more than 25 years ago, when Allen decided to call Audrey — who was in a grade behind him in high school — out of the blue. Divorced and reminiscing about the past, Allen had gathered the gumption to randomly ask out a woman he remembered as a very beautiful, good person. "I said, 'Let me take this chance,'" says Allen, a blackjack dealer at Harrah's in New Orleans.

Audrey shot him down: "She gave me such a rough time," he remembers. But he got another chance about a year and a half later, in November 1997, as they ran into each other at an event for alumni of Scottville High School.

"When I saw him, I said, 'Oh my God. Here he comes,'" Audrey remembers. "If he didn't speak to me, it would only be and God that knew that he had ever tried to call me. That's when he approached me and said, 'Ms. Parker, I'm not letting you get away from me this easy this time.'"

On that following Monday, he called her while she was working at a local TV station. "We really had a very good conversation, laughing and talking," she says. "I enjoyed talking to him." They began speaking regularly, or, as Allen puts it, "I romanced her on the phone."

Audrey and Allen would spend the next 20 years dating, but she says "there were a lot of challenges" along the way that tested their commitment to each other, including her diagnosis with colon cancer in November 2002. "I told him that if he couldn't handle it, he could leave, and I wouldn't hold it against him," says Audrey, whose cancer battle prompted her to move in with one of her sisters. "He said that, no, he was going to be there with me."

Allen kept his word. "He was there with me when I was going through some tough times," says Audrey. "When one person is sick, and another person is healthy, that's hard on both parties." They faced another blow in October 2008, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Audrey, whose mother died of breast cancer, underwent a double mastectomy, and found Allen by her side yet again. "We were always there for each other," she says.

There have been great times, too. "What I love about him is that, number one, I'm comfortable. I'm me. We laugh. We have fun together," she says. "We really enjoy each other," Allen adds. "We love each other, and we try to do the best for each other."

So when she told him to "wow me" before her birthday last year, "I just said, 'Well, the time is now,'" Allen recalls. On March 27, 2021, Audrey's 73rd birthday, he got down on one knee and pulled out a ring. "There was screaming and hollering," Allen remembers. "I said, 'Now, would you accept me to be your husband?'" And he had to ask her, "Are you wowed now?" The answer to both questions was a resounding yes.

When they finally married on July 16, 2021, "I felt like the queen," says Audrey. Though she has no regrets about their delayed nuptials, her husband wishes they'd said "I do" sooner. "I think it would've worked out good, even if we was married earlier," says Allen.


If you have an inspiring love story like this, please share.

Too many users have put restrictions in their profiles - location-wise.

Have you not considered that the owner of the profile may just happen to be in a certain country for various reasons like work, family etc?

Why judge a person based on one's location?

So I learned just now about this movie. Of certain characters called ABC. What a misunderstanding you're about to see. A love affair involving these three. They are all from different lands. With cultural and religious difference.

C, the male protagonist is from England, B, is of course a beautiful Indian while C, hmmmn an American. Now so the story begins to unfold. A relationship that was foretold. C and A were friends and nothing more, to think of anything else is terrible.

Why? Here is the plot I can be sure of that. A never seeks for anything like love. She's so happy and contented in life and wish nothing to ever change that. She seeks knowledge that's for sure. UFO, the Universe and so much more. Love? That's preposterous, she's not looking and that's absolute.

So this movie is a joke, with all the misleading messages and plots.
But for me I know how it ends, B and C as lovers again. They deserve each other till the very end.

Live happily ever after. And A, too is full of joy forever.

Note: For real, I am never jealous nor seeking any love. I never will. I'm happy as I am. Single and independent.

my dear sweetheart...you are the right person ....at the right
timings...

Finding the right person, a person you want to spend your life with, is the greatest accomplishment one can achieve. Yet, the unfortunate truth is that the right person does not always come at the right time. And that makes all the difference.

Know that you will always be my priority and I will never be too busy with work or too engrossed in a book to notice when you need me....

When you change shape and your face wrinkles over the years, I will love you all the more and understanding it as a sign of all the months and years we have spent together.

i will always try my best to love you for who you are and not try to change you and take away your identity.

I guarantee that your life with me will be unpredictable, exciting and one long adventure. We will explore each other and the world around us and live each day like it was our last.

I will try to be the best nurse possible when you are unwell (as you know I struggle) and I will remember how well you take care of me when roles are reversed.
I’ll always remember to let you know how lucky I am that you have chosen to spend your time and your life with me.

I promise to have faith in you and give you the benefit of the doubt, I will honor your word as I trust you completely

Thinking about a person every day of your life that you know you will never be with is a hell of its own. But it’s not okay.

Love is the only purpose worth living for.

I have a million things that I have been dying to tell you. Goodbye is never one of them.

we are all adults of mature years and we may have experienced the friend zone.

the friend zone...is not the same as being a friend to someone...but what it is...one person has attraction for another...but the other person only see's them as a friend...no romantic connection...no lust and no desire at all for them.

Some women will take advantage of men in their friend zone...to have the man...do favours for them...lend them money...listen to them talk about their failed relationships etc...

women...who put a man in the friend zone know... the chances are the man...still desires them and puts them on a pedestal...

yes it's manipulative to take advantage of a man...but it's also wrong for the man to stick around...pretending he can just be friends with the woman.

moral of the story...when you are put in the friend zone...move on and don't look back...move on and meet another woman.

It will take years before appeal is decided upon and her chances of having the verdict overturned isn't good.

"Anyone appealing has an uphill battle,” says Rebekah Sullivan, a Washington, D.C., attorney who focuses on family law. Most likely, the lawyers who spoke to TIME said, Heard’s team will argue some legal error was made during trial and will try to overturn the verdict on the basis that the jury was influenced by things they saw and heard outside tge courtroom."

From the latest news.What Legal Experts Think of Amber Heard's Chances on Appeal

The decision was for Johnny against lying Heard.
Justice is done. 15 million for Johnny, 10 for compensation and 5 for punitive damages.

Now I am not sure what impact this case does to both of them but I have a feeling Johnny is in good shape.

She was found to have done a malicious act by lying about her defamation report as published by the Washington Post.

This drama which has become one of the most watched show on television is going to affect how this relationship squabbles will be handled. I'm sure to play and claim as a victim will be thoroughly investigated and questioned if only to punish the aggressor.

When one logs in to their CS account, what catches one's attention?

Is it the tagline? Is it catchy, cheeky or boring?

Is it the username? Does it describe the person who created the account?

Is it the profile? Is it detailed enough to make one send an email? Or click like? or even click favorite?

Just saying....perhaps it is all of the above!

I have always had the ‘problem’ of attracting younger men, but only because I look and think/act younger than my actual age. As such, all but 2 of my past relationships/s*xual encounters (not that many), which includes my marriage, were with younger men.

The thing was, what they expected of me and I of them, didn’t mesh well enough to keep the attraction going for very long (especially since I’m not easily impressed and get bored quickly).

Crossing 55 made me determined to only form personal relationships with older men, whose future expectations/outlook on life were more in line with mine, and with whom I could fulfil the need for meaningful companionship.

Idealistic? Maybe. Pragmatic? I think so. Achievable? I certainly hope so. Cheers

Aristotle..... human kind cannot bear very much reality, but,
it is THE best...
One can have hundreds of online friends and
Facebook friends, while in real life have barely a person to talk to....
more than often, does not produce any real meaningful communication. In short, we just need to ponder whether it is worthwhile for us spending Too much time and energy building large online networks of superficial connections, at the expense of maintaining a few cherished reliable real-life friendships
A second false perception is the feeling of intimacy and closeness conveyed though cyber interactions....
We couldn’t really rely on cyber connections to introduce us to a new career or to get a raise out from the online interactions. Thus people’s belief in the benefit of keeping cyber connections is somewhat false, or at least doubtable...
there is definitely a set standard for discipline,...
the conveniences of connecting through the internet have generated the consequences of expecting too much and committing too little.
Not only are Internet chat room relationships leading to impersonal contact of people hiding flaws behind anonymity,also danger in it..
though social networks can be useful; they can also be damaging to an individual’s career, personal life, and affect many other aspects of their lives....so, it is better continue to use social media to maintain offline relationships because it’s easy, convenient, and beneficial.
