I figure I will. By the time a guy hits the retirement home the women outnumber guys maybe 8 to 1. That's a lot of women to keep happy at that age and we don't want any cat fights.
Does Medicare cover Viagra ? If not, I better stock up.
LOL, an 8 year old thread. Thank you god for OLD. It's like shopping on Amazon where I can have 3-4 dates a week with different women every week. There have been a few I've been interested in having a 2nd and 3rd dates.
I really like those flight attendants. They are all lovers and they don't stay grounded in 1 spot too long.
I wrote my OP when I was in my 50's. Now I'm in my 60's and not only not lost interest but I'm finding I can have all I want. At my age, women do outnumber men.
I've been on OLD on and off for about 6 years now. The men that contact me (I'm 63) have NOT lost interest. There are guys in their late 60's and 70's that are still looking for women who want a lot of sex. I always thought guys slowed down in their 60's but I guess with Viagra they can be studs till they die. {rolling my eyes}

Well, at least they got that going for them. The retirement communities are swarming with women, outnumbering the men. lol

It's one of the joys god gave us a humans. We might as well indulge as long as we're capable.
I'm in my mid-fifties, in really good shape (most people think I'm in my forties) and single. First off I love women Always have and always will. I am on relatively good terms with my ex's. I have a daughter I adore. I work in healthcare so I work and interact primarily with females in the work setting.
But...I don't really have any desire to ever get married again or even live with someone. I'm still interested in sex but not if I have to put up with nonsense. I think at this point in my life I can see red flags a mile away and things I would have disregarded when I was younger now are intolerable. I'm sure many fifty-something-year-old women feel the exact same way.
I would love to find someone who felt as I do who and wanted to date exclusively yet live separately. Someone to share life with...just not a bathroom or kitchen. If I find that then great. If not that's cool too. I'm pretty happy doing my thing. There is a thread in the Retirement section of CD that discusses something really close to this. http://www.city-data.com/forum/retir...out-women.html
Molokai, I am with you 100% on this--a perfect relationship in my world.
I don't know if it's "losing interest in women" as much as it is losing interest in the dating market and its games.
I'm 32. I've been seeing a woman who is 24, but who has significant health issues, since March. She wants the whole marriage thing, and has been dropping hints she wants a ring for Christmas. She hasn't been able to walk since last year, and while she's had corrective surgery, a month of inpatient therapy, and is now getting around pretty well on a walker/cane, I don't know if she'll ever be able to work. She's not on disability yet and brings in no income. It's a ton of expense, and while I love her, it feels more like caregiving than romance at this point.
I don't think I'm extremely picky, but there's not enough of a dating market in my local area for what I want. If something happens to my current relationship, I doubt I'll want anything more than occasional sex until I move and get around "better" people.

Right, but men in their 60's aren't in retirement homes. Many are still working (at least through 66, if not beyond), others are retired, but living independently still, because they're still healthy and active. "Retirement homes"--what is that, anyway? I'm not aware there is any such thing. Do you mean "retirement communities"? Those typically accept people in their 50's, so the ration of women to men isn't that skewed. I think you're confusing nursing homes (more generally for people who aren't able to live independently, which means mostly people over 75 or so, or 80+), with some vague "retirement home" concept.
Are you sure you're really in your 40's? You don't talk like it. You sound like a kid making jokes about "old people" and their lives, an aspect of life that you--strangely for a 40-something--know nothing about.

Bingo. I’m just North of 30 and am sick and tired of playing games with women, all for a bunch of BS. I’m this close to packing it in for good on the dating market, not that I was a very active participant.

How is your choice to be with a disabled woman (against the fairly unanimous advice of everyone here), a reflection of the dating market and its purported games? You're talking about one woman, and you almost threw yourself at her, showering her with gifts and money for living expenses, after only knowing her a few weeks.
Own your own issues, SC; you can't blame the "dating market" for this. The market isn't full of needy, disabled, chronically ill women with neglectful parents, looking for a savior.
