I would like to hear more about that "meandering" you do.
I certainly identify with your attitude of being enticed sometimes. I have lived alone for over 10 years and I stay busy and interested in things most of the time. But, now and again I miss the companionable times with a partner. | |

Posted: 7/25/2007 4:55:19 AM | I'm starting to think the SINGLE men over 60 want a woman who is independent enough to be dependent... that baggage is pretty light for a partner to carry.
My observations have been focused on the couples I see (my town has a lot of married/singles retirees). From what I've seen of these couples isn't a great advertisement for giving up the freedoms I have to become "dependent" on a relationship. My widowed mother had an expression I'm not the local entertainment section.. Go buy a newspaper if that's all you want. I know when I meet someone who has activites I can be included in I go for it! I return the favor by adding my style to his.. I enjoy live music and know pretty much where you can head out on any day or night of the week instead of sitting at home...! (After dinner at home and limit the booze, bit of a health nut here) I look for partners that we are compliments of each other.
I know I'm 58 but I'm not ready to stop feeling like I'm 23 mentally. Doing the things I did at 18 and accepting the aches and pains as my pennance .
60 is the new 35 in my book....
No where in this note was the dreaded hot subject (sex) mentioned... that's a given...lol! | |

Yeah, I think. I’m sitting here living it and loving it! I’ll probably have to grow up someday, but it’s not quite time yet. 
Friends my age act pretty much as I do, they just don’t “meander” as much because they are married. Yet, I know a number of people younger who act like old fuddy-duddies. It’s all in the attitude, I guess.
And when I say that I sometimes “meander around,” just these past few days I spent some time eating ribs and listening to good jazz in an inner-city Detroit speakeasy (illegal bar), spent an afternoon in the Polish/Russian neighborhood shopping & chatting with old friends and an afternoon-evening in East Dearborn which is 90% Arab. That, plus attending a couple interesting meetings, fiddling around down at the local U for a while and the normal volunteering I’m interested in. Oh, and I spent more than just an afternoon at the annual Ann Arbor Art Fair -- not just enjoying some of the artwork, but also laughing at many of the odd-ball political groups who always strut their stuff there. And I guess I attended the local guild’s new stage play, too. Then there’s the gym and the midnight walks. . . .
Truth is, I can be perfectly happy staying home working for days at a time -- when I’m on a roll, I only stop for exercise and food. But, other times, there’s no telling where you might find me. That’s how it is for a single guy living alone. And why not? If I’m “with” someone, some of that will have to change. But, for now, no one is ever surprised to see me anywhere. Last winter I went up north for a few days, liked it there, and so conveniently got “snowed in” for a few weeks. (That’s my story, anyway, cause I was very comfortable there. . . . )

Posted: 8/4/2007 9:45:35 PM | I think this thread is hilarious! Most of the men I've met who are over 60 want the sex they think they missed when they were married for 35 years. It's like they are trying to make up for what they missed.  Motorcycles, sex, toys, sex, big screen tvs, sex.............. They usually say something like I'm 70 but I only look 50 and act 30............
I'd like a 60 year old who acts like a 60 year old........... I guess it's because I enjoy each age I am. I enjoyed my 20's of freedom, my 30's of being saddled with kids and family, my 40's, and now my50's...........each age brings different things to value and enjoy..........I wouldn't want to go back to acting like I was 20 or 30! | |

Posted: 8/5/2007 4:14:28 AM | Hey friendlyldy .....its not for me to judge what I look like, but I bike ( the pedaling kind) about 2500km in the summer and I x-country ski between 200 and 400 km in the winter.
I guess according to your post I don't act like a 71 year old. Quite frankly, if a lot of women I know would do just some of the activities I am involved in , they would not live on pills and be 50lbs over weight.
Ahhhh....the rain stopped, I better get out there and enjoy the fresh air | |

A bit of the hokey-pokey was all they've ever done and there was obviously something wrong with their partners if they weren't satisfied with that. They are obviously relieved when they don't have to do'it' any more. | |

Posted: 8/20/2007 5:52:02 PM | I, personally, don't think you can lump 60 year old men together any better than you
can lump us 60 year old women. I am 61...closer to 62 and enjoy all things romantic.
That includes great sex and younger people are shocked. But the men that have the same
attitude are delighted. I know you have all heard that the major sex organ lies between your ears........that is proven to be true over and over. It is a matter of attitude. If you want to please your partner.......you will find a way. If you were a selfish lover at 25...you probably will still be at 60.
But the best thing about a man of 60+/- is that he had made his mark.......proven his worth...in his work/family/community etc. He has things to say and he is still open to
learning. A man like that can entertain me for hours.
One of the most exiting times I've had in recent years was spent with a Frenchman that I
thought to be 60.......only after the most awesome time to discover that he was 70. He
actually gave a massage, had a hot tub, listened to great music and served great wine.
Then after a long evening into night of great sex........made me the most wonderful dinner.....then spent hours after dinner talking about the things that lead him to such
a wonderful life.
I hope to spend many similar evening before I give up my quest. And if you want to stay young and healthy ........you will consider a quest yourself.

Posted: 9/23/2007 10:47:56 AM | | Your post got me to delete my entry. I didn't mean to sound so neg. but I just want someone who is honest and someone to go have fun with. The process is difficult as the man I thought I would be meeting is not one and the same. Different photos and so on. Don't get me wrong, looks is not the point. The photos of some were taken many years ago. Who do they think they are kidding. | |

Posted: 9/23/2007 4:54:43 PM | | Sounds to me like your more interested in someone to hold your hand (maybe) and push your wheelchair rather than to live life. Those who can still walk and breathe air are not inclined to sit with you snoozing in a wheel chair on the back porch of a nursing home. In fact unless that's all they can do, most in wheel chairs would love a more active life. Most people like living. If you feel like slapping them, they sure as hell are not going to date you. | |

Posted: 10/24/2007 5:39:56 PM | Great Kahuna, I think biking is great. I got my first bike when I was 5 and I still have one............... Now I'm a cruiser not a racer though........ There's a nice guy here in my neighborhood who rides around and around and around the neighborhood on his bike and I think that's great. I used to run a parents and kids biking thing where we biked along the Erie Canal up north. The kids loved it because sometimes they would get to see the boats go through the locks.
I live two minutes from the ocean and I love to ride my bike on the beach and so do a lot of us old people..........
Keep biking.........it's a great activity for all ages.......... | |

Well I'm not a man, but I guess I could make an assumption based on people over sixty that I know.
Men over 60 want the same as women over 60, they want to be loved, they want to feel important, and they never want to get old!! | |

7. Someone who gives a sh*t about what I want.

Posted: 10/25/2007 3:20:47 PM | | The OP's depressing and generally patently inaccurate statements about men over 60 effectively illustrate the attitude I encounter in many older women. It is no wonder many 60+ men who can find, get and keep them prefer the company of younger women. The last two I dated were 33 and 39 and great joys in every way. As Willie Nelson once said "You are as young as the women you feel." | |

Well from your profile, it seems that you have not even had contact with people your age but 25 to 35 years younger. To each their own!
