Dating over 50
I’ve heard the silliest excuses as to why people say they couldn’t consider dating over 50. “My goodness, why?” is always my reply! You know the old saying, just because there’s snow on the mountain doesn’t mean there’s not a fire glowing down below!
One friend, who’s husband died a few years ago, has come up with every reason why dating a mature man doesn’t feel right. True, I have to admit that if it doesn’t feel right for her, then it’s not right. Her feelings are always correct for her, but… She said that dating again would be disloyal to her husband who’s been dead nearly 5 years. I keep telling her that he wouldn’t want her to sit alone night after night when she could be sharing fun times with a new friend. He’d be new, not a replacement.
Then she said that “nobody would want to date a woman over 50.” What hogwash that is! There are thousands and thousands of men and women over 50 who are re-entering the dating market. The 50 and over segment at SexyAds.com is just huge. When we created the site we were both nearing 50 ourselves and now that I’m 61, I’m just entering my prime! (just kidding) I keep telling my friend that dating for people over 50 is absolutely commonplace.
Finally she said that men over 50 who were looking for dates only wanted sex. I told her that she’s selling ALL men pretty short with that kind of a statement. Sure, some men have lived for years without sexual intimacy and crave it with every fibre of their bodies and maybe they come on too strong sometimes. However, sex is NOT the only thing all men are looking for. They crave companionship just as much as women do. For me, I can’t imagine a life without someone to share it with. Some people like living alone but I’m not one of them.
Anyway, my friend Myra has decided to give adult dating a trial run. I think deep down she’d love to find someone to laugh with, someone to give her a hug and someone to crank up her engines once again. Fingers crossed!
I cannot imagine living without male companionship and if my husband dies before I do I would definitly not mind at all if he finds someone new. I think the key is not someone “else” as if it were an extramarital affair! someone new!
dear it is your thinking. as i think if your feelings and thinking are matching with even a male companion then there should be no any harm to be together. because to be together it is very necessary to match their thinking.
yes fire glowing down, but the it always skip for world’s eyes.
At This time i am 20 year old and i think over 50 i date with any girl oh sorry women. I think it is so interesting but i do because life is gift Of God and we are his son and i enjoy this life and it is game for me.
Wow! you really done great job,keep it up,all the best for rest…
Elaine W, I’ve had good success with online dating services. Most are free to join and it’s a nice way to meet new people. I’m sure there are lots of Michigan singles online that you can chat with.
Good to see that you have chosen to get out there and give it a shot… “A life lived in fear is a life half lived”… online dating makes it possible for us to connect to more and more people every day something that was not possible only a couple of decades ago.
Well, love is no matter of age. You can turn old and feel the need for another human being…And that is great…So why not date with 50,60, 70, 80 and so on. There is always something new to explore…Hayppy Blogging
Thanks! but i don’t think so that age matters for me between beloveds there is no condition for the age.
well as i think if there is any kind of relation between two persons then age should not interfere between that. because it never happens according to age. you can also like a person which is so much elder than you.
Companionship is what most adults want. It’s proven that sexual drive in men decreases with age.
That is funny all the men over the age of 50 want is sex, well that is definitely true of men of all ages.
I don’t see any thing wrong I adult dating. I think it becomes more important when both partners feel alone in the life and search for some body who could understand and value their feelings.
I don’t mind if she is 50 she is beautiful.. Its a normal feelings she is Human..
nice article I enjoy reading..
age never matters between two good friends or lovers. you can have a very good friend who is elder than you and he is very good person. nature matters not the age.
Really you done a great work to maintain your fitness,keep it up all the best for rest….
dating over 50? well its not a big deal for me. I think there’s no problem with that especially that if we think of the stresses that the old people have, its not easy for them to overcome. specially the loneliness, they getting bored of being alone and maybe that’s the reason they do dating because its a way of coping. And it is indeed very therapeutic for persons like them.
i like senior dating as meet you match as fun as junior one
i think dating over 50 is not bad. 50 plus old people also has the right to love again. i think its cute and very romantic to watch old people dating and being romantic.. i dont know if a can take to watch the other important thing that comes with dating… i should not think of it.. fingers crossed.
Life never ceases with passage of dear one. It is all to enjoy with grace. No matters what the age is.
emotions are always at a high peek then the age.so go for the relationship and not only the age.
Well as we all know love is the most beautiful feeling of our life, it doesn’t make any difference if your age is about 50 or you are of 20 years because the feelings have no control.

Actually age does matter sometimes. I just under 50 and I dated someone who was 7 years older than me. On a physical level things were great and still in working order, and we have some really nice times together. However, there was an attitudinal difference that came about from having been brought up in what sometimes seemed different eras! It only lasted 5 months and things broke down because of the attitude aspect of our age difference!
