Thank you for all the thought and time you put into that post, haha! I appreciate it.
However, I would rather have a rectal exam on State Street than dance with another woman. That just sounds too pathetic for me somehow. I would figure out how to dance alone first. Or not dance at all.
Senior centers? Maybe in 20-25 years, but not now. Good God, man...that's for "old" people my mother's age (89).
Regardless, believe it or not they mushroom where I am alot as it is very woodsey here. I have been thinking that sounds like fun and my type of thing. Hiking I love. Birding I would like to get into for fun.
No, I lived in Chicago for 14 years then moved for 22 to Houston and back to Chicago for one year before my aging parent had a stroke; so, here I am in a medium sized area in Illinois, but NOT Chicago, which is about 3 hours away.
When I left Houston I lost so many relationships because I worked all the time. And I mean all the time. Wasn't in Chicago long enough to form any new ones of lasting value (only one year) and have been busy here; so, wherever I land, I WILL be starting from the get-go all over again. No relatives except my son, and Lord only knows where he will end up with his law degree.
Am I outgoing? Does a bear poop in the woods? After over 30 years in sales management, you can only guess how forward I am. I curb it sometimes to appear demure..ha!
Yes, I swim with some old geezers of 65 and up at the pool that are men. Some are active and bitch about their wives holding them back from socializing, and some of the men are just plain old fuddie-duddies who hate computers and anything that isn't of the black and white genre at the movies. Fun to talk with, but I sure would hate to be stuck with one.
Your post is about so good an argument as an older gal can find for FINDING YOUNGER MEN! Well, if I am doomed to suffer with that situation as an older woman...so be it (hee hee hee!). I will try and take one for the team of senior gals out there and sacrifice myself. I'm so selfless (ha!).
And you are so right, haha, that the situation of finding male company of similar age over 60 is hard for women and very "competitive." One of the reasons an old gal needs to do the demographics and find a spot loaded with old guys over 60 (which leaves out Alaska--not that I would live there).
