| What do men 60 plus want?
Posted: 7/16/2007 11:56:09 AM | Since I fit the category, I read all the posts to see if anything sounded like what fits for me. Being a bit new to all this, don't really know for sure but I can take a stab at it.
I am interested in new experiences and looking for partners to share them. Don't have to be extravagant to be new and different and fun.
I enjoy talking to women who have opinions, enjoy sharing them, and don't mind disagreements as long as they are respectful.
I try to live in the real world as best I can grasp it and am more interested in women who do the same. Men and women are different in many ways, but I would rather accept and celebrate those differences than complain about them.
I have my own bitterness about things that happened in the past, and don't mind that others have some of theirs. After all, their entire life is a part of them, as mine is of me. I have tried to see my own part in some of the nastier things that happened to me and hope she has done the same.
I am serious enough about most things but see the humour in it all at the same time.
I enjoy my life and the people I know, and prefer friends who do the same.
It takes a while for the things I have mentioned so far fall into place. As they do, a relationship grows and we both find out what we want from it. If it turns out we don't want the same things, then I hope we can deal with that with respect and maturity. | |

Posted: 7/20/2007 7:42:10 AM | The men of 60 plus I have met recently want exactly what women of 60 plus want - except not with a woman the same age as they are. As they feel much younger than the calendar says, dating women the same age as themselves would be like dating their mothers. I know one who was honest enough to express this, and I saw it quite plainly in another's face. And I'm neither 'old' or wrinkly - yet. . . .  | |

It's time for we seniors to get a realistic attitude here.
OPie, just for starters (and just speaking for myself) -- I'm not EVER gonna be a "Senior" again. I was one when I was 19. . . . I may be an old lady, a crone, or a hag, but Godde save me from Seniorship, lol!
Some men, and some women, will forever want what they're not gonna git. Beyond that, you only have to deal with each one, as an individual. That's what the profiles are for.
Long-term? You bet. At least that's what I choose to *aim* for. . . If you expect less, you will for absolute-certain-sure GET less. I don't intend to short-change myself or my partner.

A nap they can say they were only resting their eyes through.
A hard mattress for the bad back they always seem to complain about.
Good knees after the surgery..
Full hearing again.
A companion to drink with who has nothing to say.
A woman passenger for their errands who has nothing to say.
A nine PM bedtime with a partner who wants to stay up and read her book.
A cup of fresh coffee in the morning with a newspaper with the companion who has nothing to say..but fixes his type of breakfast.. and passes the high blood pressure pills out without saying anything..lol, rotf...
Just joking but the couples I see around town usually in their 60's are sitting there not talking to each other and if there is conversation she making it with other women friends.. Haven't seen a man over 60 lately who plays pool or bowls unless forced to.. Seen a couple who dance with their companion but he does not dance with anyone else or mingle and I wonder how he will cope if he's left alone... I think men over 60 are looking for a good companion, someone the can count of to provide them with the energy to break out them of the old mold them have trapped themselves in...but end up with what has been comfortable all along... Men over 60 want a woman who can provide them with a social life... since so many of them have none! And a woman who has nothing to say.... rotf....
 mutely drinking the next time I go out... maybe I'll have nothing to say and be a winner... 58 and the clock is ticking.... | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 10:37:26 AM | oh and men over 60 want their sense of humor back... got a dog.. sorry not a Two Dog Night... rotf.....
The guys I date over 60 are Hot Papas.. but I did meet the guy with the Corvette who spent all his time polishing it.. and inbetween he enjoyed sitting on his front porch to watch the neighbors go by, had a pool but alas that was just for show.. oh and don't forget he still had his deceased wifes nicknacks all over the house.. really makes a lady feel welcome (like walking into another woman's house..Not!) The usual guy over 60's main occupation in Florida is mowing his lawn! .. I'm only making my observations on the over 60 crowd I witness in my town.. there are the exceptions and it takes a lot of frog kissing to find them! Then again there are a lot of women over 60 who are Old Before Their Time Too...
Sometimes I think reality is just a pipedream... Girls You Want a Hot Papa! Men You Want a Hot Momma! Start acting like what each other wants and damn the topedos....!
Personally I want a killer bridge partner.. a snuggle bunny and someone who accepts the fact that a long walk on the beach is between the towel and the waters edge.... rotf! | |

What do men 60 plus want? Posted: 3/29/2006 12  35 AM It's time for we seniors to get a realistic attitude here. I joined this dating thing to find a companion for outings, talks, or maybe to sit under the stars with some of my home made wine, talk about and reflect on past experiences. Instead I'm reading men's unrealistic expectations of what they want out here. Hey people, we are in the recycling bin of humans. We are going through it looking for the least damaged yet usable for a few more years. Sixty plus is the toboggan ride down and off this planet. I'm reading,' looking for someone between the ages of twenty eight and sixty five'. Say what you mean. You'd like one more hard body romp before you can't do it anymore or the viagra kills you. Another guy wants a good listener. In other words we are to listen to you and only you. Another wants to spoil one of us. Hey, I can spoil myself if that's what I want. Some of us won't even make it to seventy and those of us who do will be looking for companionship. If sex happens, we'll be elated. Most everyone says they don't do drugs, and that only means that none of you are suffering from arthritis, heart problems, and the many other inflictions we suffer from being blessed with reaching this age. Long walks? Give me a break. Eat right, don't smoke, exercise, we are all going to die anyway. At this stage of life there is no such thing as a long term relationship. I wish there was some way to get everyone on this dating line into one hall. We could mingle, and reject those we don't want in one shot instead of having to go through each and every profile because profiles are saying nothing. It's time to stop, look, and enjoy those things that we've all been too damn busy to even know existed. Lots of hugs, kisses, romance, long walks........Lord, I'd like to slap some people.:

Posted: 7/23/2007 10:59:41 AM | I know some fabulous men in their 60's who have the most optimistic outlooks on life and who are living today to the fullest. I can learn from them!
I just turned 60 in June this year, and I sure don't plan on giving up on my hopes and dreams. If I had, I wouldn't be here. I have some experience with despair as I escaped an abusive marriage.
Don't give up on life! You may have 20-30 good years left! Or would you rather spend them sulking and unhappy? Peace.  | |

Your post expresses some of the disallusionment that most of us feel about cyber dating. It is impossible to read body language, or hear tone of voice, or catch that look in the eye, thru e-mail messages or online forums. I have just started reading the forums on this site, and I find them to be extremely entertaining! | |

Here's a suggestion go over one evening while that guy is sitting on the porch, strip off your clothes jump in the pool splash until he jumps in too then get out get him to chase you into the house and while he is trying to catch you accidentily/on purpose trash all the nicknacks then while hes mowing the lawn jump in the vette and haul ass.But then if you think a long walk is from the towel to the beach you might should reconsider my advice and get a dog. | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 7:58:50 PM | | I will be 65 soon. I would like to find someone to be happy with but men at this age have been down the block one to many times, and they don't want to commit to anything anymore so all they can hope for is sex. As one older man told me, if I am good at that, I can have it all. I am happy being me and being alone. I am too old to compromise. I do exercise alot, I agree with you about the eating right, if it is in your genes you will be healthy and live long even if you don't eat right. I have a 105 year old aunt who is proof of that, loves her doughnuts and coke and only has arthritis and the rest of her is sharp as a tack. I am not looking at the rest of my life as a tobaggan ride down even though I know I am in the last phase of my life. I do hike with caution and I take alot of trips when I can. I drive long distances by myself. I do what I can to take care of myself but I am not a fanatic about it. I'd like the whole ball of wax, someone to love and be happy with but if that does not happen, I will enjoy the other good things in life like my children, the beautiful area I live in and shopping. Best of luck to you. | |

Wow, things must be a lot different down there in Florida!
Most of the women over 60 I know want to do mundane things like play cards and board games. They think “getting exercise” is playing a few holes of cowpasture pool, but riding an electric cart. You can get them to get out of the house and actually do something, but only once or twice a week -- and then they tend to make a huge production about it. Not all are like that, of course, but many.
Yeah, companionship. What’s wrong with that? But, I already have a social life that is more active than I need, so I certainly don’t need a woman for that.
But, if I’m going to sit home, it’s not going to be at a card table or in front of the TV. Nope, I’ll plunk myself in front of the computer and amuse myself by writing. Either that, or I’m very active.
And, by the way, that’s the same with all the guys I know -- even the ones my age.

Posted: 7/24/2007 5:42:35 AM | Hey, guys. You must be looking in the wrong places!! Don't you realize women live longer than men, usually, and it's because we take care of ourselves better. I am 61 and walk 5 days a week, am on the go steadily. I would challenge any of you to follow me around for a day. 60 is the new 40. Maybe you need to check the heath clubs out if you're looking for a female that is active. In Florida you should find plenty of women out riding their bikes! I travel, do a clowning ministry. Camp- mostly in my van but in a couple of weeks chaparoning a group of youth and will be in a tent on an air mattress.
I guess what I want to say here is quite looking for younger and give those of us your age a chance. | |

For me exercise is still mowing my lawn and cleaning out the gutters... try that in 90 degree temperatures...
As for getting out of the house with a partner over 60.. I'm game for anything from searching out the best cigar store to flying remote control airplanes or taking photos of the sand cranes.. a huge production for me is remembering to put on mascara and lipstick! Since I'm still new to my town developing a social life in Florida is more difficult since we are house/car bound so much of the time due to the intense heat... but with trial and error I'll find my niche there too..
We have in common we both have been single a long time and are comfortable in our own skins.. but sitting in front of my computer too long.. seems to cause wrinkles.(think it's the heat from the screen)... even if I do love to write and blog ... and it keeps the world at bay... I personally love Men and think every woman should own one......or two or three or four or five or sex..oops six!
If I don't laugh at life what's left.. cry? I'll pass... Oh and when I throw a party there aren't any cards involved... music and dancing and flirting are a dress requirement! | |

Okay, okay, so I’m in my middle sixties. So are many of my friends. But many of our days start with an early morning trip to the gym where we more chide than encourage each other. Then we go for a quick breakfast together where the conversation is mostly work and family related. Some still work. I volunteer at a very special place a few hours each week. Other than that, I write.
RC airplanes, eh? Well, I “own” the park out back at night and often “patrol” it with a large RC helicopter. Someday I’m going to fit a night-vision camera on that thing. At the moment it has a bright floodlight that’s fun to turn on sometimes. . . .
Oh sure, sometimes I overextend myself. A couple days ago it was a paintball war. It’s “our” park and so we play the defending team. Problem is, I was rocking and rolling like I was 25 years old and in the real army. I’m not, though, and I’m still paying for those three hours today. LOL Nonetheless, I’ll be ready to do it again next week. Incidentally, three of the 24 guys on our team are my age and four others are over 50. We won against a much younger team, though. (More experience.)
Yeah, I know guys who put themselves out to pasture and moved down to warm country to vegetate. You’ve got them now and you can keep them. But, judging from my family elders, I’ll probably get another forty years out of this bod, so I’m trying to keep it in something resembling decent shape so I can stay active. Hell, even my 95 year old mother goes to the gym (at her assisted care apartment house) three times a week. She even has a “trainer” of sorts.
True, it will not bother me one bit to be single the rest of my life. But, every once in a while I spy someone who looks like she would be a lot of fun to know well. I wouldn’t ever expect any woman to keep up with everything I do -- she probably wouldn’t be interested in some of it -- but friendly companionship (best friend, companion & lover) certainly seems enticing sometimes. The problem with me is that I regularly meander seamlessly between the different segments of society, acting like I’m supposed to be there. I don’t notice that I’m doing that, but others do. And, really, most women do not like that one bit.
