Posted: 12/13/2007 9:18:18 PM | C'mon people...we all need to just get naked and jump in a pile.
Forget about all the true love stuff and just find somebody you can respect and respects you and the rest falls into place. I really get tired hearing people talk about age....if you think about it too much it becomes an issue. Hell, look at Sly Stallone...still making Rocky movies...George Foreman could probably still go 4 or 5 rounds with the best of em....hell, Sally Field hasn't had any work and she is still bangable....Blondie is 61 and still looking good (I am talking about Debbie Harry....not the comic strip) Goldie Hahn...whooooo mannnn still looking good, Susan Sarandon, all over 60 or near and looking fine. Hell, Sophia is 72 and still looks great. Plastic surgery, maybe...but mostly attitude. Mick is still rocking...looking a little rough around the edges, but still moves it well. So, get off the age thing already and just accept people as they are. I work with lots of people of all ages every day and meet some 40 year olds who seem ancient, some 30 somethings with their butt dragging the ground, and, yes some 60 plussers with a twinkle in their eye, a bounce in their step, and fun as hell. I don't think much of their age until they bring it up and sometimes have a little trouble dealing with people who come in whining they can't find a job because they are over 50. Well, hell, no you won't with that attitude! Stand up straight, exercise that bod, get off the couch, and for criminy sakes.....clear your throat...you sound like an old person when you whine. | |

Posted: 12/13/2007 9:25:20 PM | | I sure as hell hope so! I found true love at 50, lost it and at 55 I'm hoping and praying to find it again! Love is the most fulfilling thing in my life and hard for me to live without! | |

Posted: 4/3/2009 10:49:24 PM | I think everyone is looking for some sort of love, be it in the form of companionship, friendship, spiritual, or physical.
What scares me off is some randy 60 yr old on this site who is looking for some slender, sensual, loving woman ....... warning bells - this guy has just hit men-o-pause and wants some sexy gal to make it happen for him again. Either that or he has just discovered viagra and wants to show off. Please guys, if you find some sex kitten in your age group, be prepared to fork out for jewelry, furs, and other high maintenance objects.
I'm not saying sex is dead after 60 or 55 for that matter, but when it is the highlight of your profile, there's something wrong with your priorities. | |

Posted: 4/3/2009 11:48:28 PM | Simple answer: Absolutely!!!!
I've done my share of complaining about the new found challenges of being single at this mature age. About the predominance of what appear to be ridiculously fussy and born again virgin women whose new standards are so high only Jesus or Elvis might quality. Yes, I've done my share of whining about it.
But, as I read this thread it occurred to me: Even though the women were beautiful and oh so plentiful throughout my youth (and that lasted clear until I was 45!) It didn't really help me find and experience 'true Love'. If I am honest! Mostly it took me square on the firey road to Hell. I'm lucky (grateful) to be alive and still in the game.
So... the truth is, even though the venue has shifted and the hunting has gotten a lot more difficult.... the actual chances of finding and experiencing True Love are greatly increased at this age...(over 60).
One thing is certain: If you have doubts about it..... it isn't going to help you at all!! And worse, If you don't believe it.... then why in the Heel are you putting up a profile and looking?
This is the way things work: First you believe, then you find. It really doesn't work the other way around. | |

Posted: 4/3/2009 11:54:22 PM | Well, approaching 70 (yikes, how did *that* happen, lol!?), I can't say my sexual needs, wants, desires are all the different from when I was in my 40s and 50s. The difference is that I have a companion who is ready, willing, and able to explore that with me. And I get the love and companionship, too. We haven't yet encountered the blue pill, but should that come, I'll welcome it also.
For you youngsters -- don't settle, and don't despair. . . . Your life is in your own hands. Celebrate!

Posted: 4/4/2009 12:04:53 AM | Yes. And more than once. Depends on your own openness. And *that* is your choice. You can *choose* to be too fussy; you can *choose* to be to set in your ways. In which case, you prolly *won't* find a mate, much less fall in love at all. But if you've done your work, sorted and stowed your baggage, and then actually go looking, it certainly is NOT impossible. And the rewards are incalculable. . . . .

Is it possible to find "True Love" when you're over 60 or are men/women either too fussy or too set in our ways?
Speaking only for myself I know it's possible. Nearing retirement gives me the freedom to be open to many new adventures. My plan isn't set to live in any certain place or any particular lifestyle. My heart's open for a compassionate romantic fun lover to enjoy life along with me.  | |

Posted: 4/4/2009 6:47:50 AM | | Yes, it is possible to find true love over 60. Age is just a number but I find as I grow older I enjoy the more simpler things in life......walking hand in hand and watching the one you are with light up just because you are you......means alot. Beauty as we grow older is not on the outside but on the inside. I was married twice and had two wonderful husbands. Watch both of them die at young ages: one with cancer and one had a massive heart attack in my arms. I was somewhat afraid to start dating for fear I would fall in love and have it taken away from me again but I needed that companionship I had once had. Sex is a big part of my life but sitting on the couch watching tv with one you love can be just as enjoyable. As a teenager I viewed love and sex very differently. Growing older I see love as having someone to spend vacations with, share stories with, watch your children and grandchildren grow, and being able to actually feel that love throughout your body as you spend more and more time together. Your sex will be more meaningful and good because you share a different kind of love for each other. | |

Posted: 4/8/2009 7:17:16 PM | | Yes I think it is possile if we get away from the internet and get out there and meet people in real life. I will no longer write to anyone that I am not willing to drive to meet. Internet buddies just get in the way of finding someone. | |

Seems that today is a common opinion.
"Its an act of desperation "
Sure sounds like it.
If it happens fine, if not that is fine too. | |

Posted: 4/9/2009 8:12:58 AM | | Define "True Love." Love is always somthing you can find. Highly charged romantic love may be difficult but who knows? In my world all love is true and not limited to age but that VaVa Voom feeling may be replaced with a more mature definition of love. I also believe that if a person is mature s/he will be able to overcome any difficulties that arise because we are fussy and set in out ways. After all love is suposed to expand your life not deminish it whatever the age. | |

Oh Brownlady.. we are discouraged.. aren't we?
I feel the same way you do most of the time these days. 
Just as soon as I get one invite in an e-mail.. many other offers seem to swarm around. After a meet with a man that either isn't my type at all.. or decides to have a change of heart on what he's been looking for.. an FWB.. and I go back to the other e-mails.. the other gentlemen vanish! Woosh! Gone with the wind!
Then.. it's months of sitting and waiting.. hoping to see someone on POF that even "sorta" fits my preferences. So far.. no good!JMO | |

Posted: 4/9/2009 12:08:06 PM | True love .... get a dog.
romantic love ..... pheremones and fleeting moments
unconditional love .... have kids then give it ... but don't expect it in return.
.................................. might happen ... might not happen.
if you want love ... you have to give love.
As Ian Anderson said ... its only the giving that makes you what you are. | |

Posted: 5/16/2009 4:54:55 PM | I have chatted with a few fellows on POF (57 yrs old & up) and have found that very few of them are really willing or able to have a relationship. Some are still hooked on their ex's and are always talking about them; others are too into their kids to find time to date, and one in particular who says he really wants to meet me cannot be pinned down to a date or time to meet ....
I have actually met a really nice guy locally from POF, but his life situation is such that he is in no poisition to start a relationship.
C'mon guys, if you are on this site, please be prepared to meet the lady you are in touch with. If you are not serious about dating or meeting people, take your profile off the site. In plain and simple terms, "Poop or get off the pot". | |

Posted: 5/17/2009 7:04:21 AM | | I love seeing people over 60 walking together and holding hands, yet are they newly weds or have been married for 40 years. When I was a child that is what I always dreamed of. So it's hard to say. Some people find it...I don't know if I ever will. I will probably be in a rocking chair at 90 years old at the POF forums. Egad, what a thought. | |
