There seems to be a lot of us on this site. Personally, I've placed love on the back burner. At our age our looks seem to change day by day, not a good thing. So now what ? Do we cruise on our memories of past loves ? Keep hope alive against all odds ? As a male, I still want a woman who is trim, fit and attractive. Yet I only see what I want to see in my mirror. It's so hard to accept our aging, since we're every age that we've ever been.
Older men seem to be blind as to what they look like while attempting to attract younger women. Older women are more realistic. Bottom line; love knows no boundaries.

I understand what you are saying Leo.
Now that we have entered into the New Year, 10 minutes ago by my clock, I am contemplating the same thoughts.
How do we find someone who is sincere? Someone whom we can trust to care for our hearts? We should not be foolish and cast our fate to the wind.
I want to know love from a man. I have Never known this. I feel that time is very short. I would love to know that special someone and experience the fullness of JOY for the rest of my days in this earthsuit with a companion who views life and it's beauty just as I do.
Why is it so hard to find? Seems that it should be such a simple request.
It is the cry of my heart. I feel it is very near. Come my love. Expose yourself to me. Take me by the hand and let's walk.

I'm nearly there myself, 3 yrs to go ..... You are spot on paws . .....A wonderful thing,as time goes by ,to be with someone who looks in to your face,and still sees what you think you look like ....
Many women look absolutely stunning in their neverending 50s and are so attractive as for their minds and life approaches!
We live in great ages ... we have been given chance not only live longer ... but our lives can be more "quality" ... we can improve our bodies ( food, lifestyle, sport...surgeries even ) only we have to change is ... thinking.
I wish all on CS to look and think "young" in 2012.

P.F. 2012 to all
I agree with you gorgeous There are so many very attractive,classy,lively women in that age group.Many who put men in the same age group to shame. You only have to look on here,full of very attractive lovely women,yourself included.
Dear Paws, We are the " baby boomer " generation, one of the largest in our history . Most of us are single by divorce or some other reason . That is a lot of prospects . We also have to do a little growing and admit we are not Hugh Heftner . Once you decide on quality and not quantity you might just discover a whole new world right under your nose .Good luck in 2012 .

Time4fun Happy New Year, Health, Happiness, Luck and Love to you!
It certainly is hard to find someone at this age. I went to a single new years eve party last night....woman outnumbered the men by 10-1 all in the same boat, hoping to meet that special someone...the impossible dream? yes perhaps it is.
Happy 2012 and lets hope that someones dreams here on CS come true

That's quite true and interesting... I suppose your priorities change as you get older and you don't feel the need to make the same effort to get there... unless it's for someone amazingly interesting... (!) As for looking in the mirror, I suppose we only see what we want to see, in both ourselves and someone else..... some of us see less of the reality than others!
Also if you have unrealistic expectations of yourself, life in general or your partner you will never be happy.... that's why sometimes its easier to stay single and avoid all the turmoil and conflict..!!

Attractiveness comes in a wide variety of flavors.
I am comfortable with who I am and what I look like. It's taken me all my life to get where I am right now and I don't attemp to or go out of my way to attract anyone--I let it come naturally. I look for the same in others and I see plenty.

For some of us whoes life was too busy, or never met the right one, and want a family then we search for a woman of the right age to have a family with and not seriously shorten her life. I want forever, not a night, not weekend either. Kids need a mother and a father, we have far too many kids with single parents now. But finding that is so often such a hard thing to do and get it right. As for me I'm the eternal optimist! I'm not a quiter, I don't know how. So until I draw that last breath the search goes on.

I'm a single mum, and copeing quite well, hard at times, their father jumped the fence(lust) he is a selfish sod but he is still the kids father and they see him.They needed him when they were younger, but he was too busy. So i'm mum and dad. I know you want things to work out but you can not predict it.

Predict no, but try for all I can, that I can do. Seems to have a family that's what I should so, it just seems to me to be the right thing to do.

"Once I was another's lover, now I am my own."
I found by the time I reached fifty ten years ago the need to love and be loved diminished greatly. Now it's no longer is an issue, my life is my own and I can share it with all around, as and when I please.
I kind of like it that way...less distractions....

Yes, that is indeed life. I never signed up to be a single mom either, but you deal with the cards you've been dealt in life and make the most of it. The thing I've learned is that you can only do your best and that love doesn't always overcome all. Celebrate what you do have and the people who indeed do love you (not those who's token words mean nothing).
Well, it does seem like a lot of younger men want me though I am loathe to date someone as young as my son and it seems to me that an abundance of men my age physically look like they are about seventy-I could get out more-I could do a lot of things...but I have yet to find someone I feel clicks with me.
