Single Men Over 50: 5 Ways to Find the Right Woman

Single Men Over 50 5 Ways to Find the Right Woman

No matter how you ended up single at this stage of your life, or how long you have been single, chances are you have made a decision to find another romantic relationship or, at least, start dating again. You wouldn't be reading this if your methods have worked well, so open your mind and pay attention.

1) Look within your age group. You may think this is the time to find yourself a hot beach bunny, but remember the downside: she wants you for the security you represent, the places you can take her and the things you will buy. She will create a lot of drama in your life and may be looking to trade-up to your wealthier friends or someone younger. For a while it may be fun to try and keep up with her, but later you may not even want to. She won't understand your problems and you won't understand hers. Women of your own age, however, are not high-maintenance and are past the stage of creating drama out of everything. They understand you and you will understand them. You will have things in common – like arthritis, and an interest in the economy or politics. Best of all, they are modern and often look far younger than you think they actually are. Many single women over 50 are in excellent shape, know how to dress appropriately, make a good impression on the people they meet, are independent, and usually don't look to a man to solve all their problems.

2) Use a good online dating service. Again, look for women your own age and contact them. Make a coffee date and actually show up. Meeting for coffee doesn't mean you have to marry your date. Also, don't be too picky. Don't look for a duplicate of your wife, or the exact opposite of your wife. Don't look at the pictures too closely. Remember not every beauty takes a good picture. Many models are not particularly attractive in real life – they just photograph well. Also, beware of those sexy studio pictures. They are done with LOTS of makeup and photo enhancements. And don't be afraid to contact the women who appear out of your league. Chances are, all the other men are afraid of rejection too.

3) Ask your friends' wives to introduce you to women. Don't ask the husbands. They will forget or won't want to get involved. Wives always have a bunch of worthy single female friends and are happy to set up a comfortable meeting. Also, women often are better judges of who would provide a good relationship than you are.

4) Look in the supermarket, the bookstore, Starbucks, festivals, flea markets ... you get the picture. Anywhere you see a woman you find attractive. Don't be afraid to say the perfect pick-up line: "Hello. I think you are pretty. Are you single? Care to have coffee with me?" Be polite, confident and not sexy or defensive.

5) When in the social scene, forget the sexual harassment training you got at work. Finding a relationship out of the office is different. Single women looking for a relationship are also looking to flirt.

I think if the men in their 50,60, 70, 80 date women in these age group, then there will be more successful relationship.

I do not think age is as much a barrier as is the length of being outside of a relationship. The more life you experience on your own, raising children, completing advanced education, military deployments, managing a career, ect; the more difficult it is to risk bringing partner into the picture.

Suddenly good tips for men. It seems to me that a woman has become as a matter of success. The richer the man the younger the woman seeks and pays for it. What do women about 50 years? No one needs her rich inner world and a wide range of interests. ??

Thanks you for your nice words and just nailed it. But not most of old ladies that want young guys as our own are of the same age.

I am 52. The only thing that is emailing me are ladies that want money. I can't seem to find a lady that is pure. I am in SW Florida and there are many ladies but they are all young. I will not date any lady under my sons age 29. The rest is the I a sick, I need money. I have a medical bill to pay, can you send me money? I am a hot babe from Mass and I need $300 dollars to come see you. i am sick of all the crap. Plus, if you like Filipinos, the sites there are bad and they always ask for money
