galrads:

I'm a widower.



I always think it must be much more difficult for actual widowers to be taken seriously?

I believe you are right. I'm not sure about today, 12 years ago though, there were few support networks for men here. Married couples who were friends, maybe just social friends, became more scarce, too.

no one ever emails me blues
I think the older I get there is a good chance that quite a few of the available men will be widowers. I also know that a lot of fake mail comes from people who say hello beautiful my name is so and so. My wife and child died in a car wreck five years ago etc........... I have actually gotten the same letter from a few different men. Maybe they are copying and pasting each others uh oh So I am unsure what you are shocked about tho. Still nice to see your face again grin

And even more specifically on dating sites.

I know I for one, treat anybody who is widowed and/on in the armed forces a little more suspiciously (well, a lot really! laugh ) than others. As scammers are inevitably one or both.

It is a transition for both widow and widowers. I felt like I no longer fit in with my married friends and I did not fit in with my single friends. Now a days most my friends are either in relationships or married but most are not the same friends I had when I was married please

I only list myself on dating sites as a widower because the option is there and I want to be honest. However, I've wondered it I would be dishonest to just list myself as single instead of widower. I am single, too. dunno

It took me a long time to realize and accept this. I thought times like when you lose a spouse was what my friends were about. Not. It was like sailing at sea without a compass (or orther directional assistive devices), then I healed. Guys aren't supposed to survive their wives.
