I'm going to let you slide today. It's the holiday season after all....
What's inaccurate? Can you imagine if this was a 44-year-old woman posting? The men here would be seizuring.
I had a few friends with dads who were close to my dad's age. The results weren't pretty. My dad was active and healthy and could keep up with me. Their dads could not.
And he's only going to be surrounded by women who are late 30's all the way into elderly age who many will be single mothers and/or divorced which is clearly what the OP isn't looking for.
You can go on ones that aren't for old people, good grief.

I agree with you 100%, I kind of got the full-on "must find mate" vibe from the OP too. His list of requirements is also going to be a tough one to fulfill. Agreed on the age thing, my dad was 40 when I was born and he had a hard time keeping up with me...
Honestly I don't care that much to look into it because a) I'm not going to go on a singles cruise and b) A Disney cruise would be fking awesome, how dare you undermine it.

Thanks for that. I think you were trying to take up for me here, and I appreciate it. I'm not desperate and not too old to be a Dad. I stay in shape. My Dad was 42 when my younger brother was born and he was a heavy smoker! He did just fine, though I hated the smoking, but thats another story. He didn't even work out at all (I do). Also, my list isn't extensive. Why would anyone think its extensive? Just because I'd like a woman in her 30's without kids? Thats not extensive. My ex-wife was 7 years younger than I, so I know it can be done.
Kimbo, you suggested a singles cruise. I am thinking about that as well, but I wonder if I'll find the same thing, divorced 40 something year old mothers. Not what I want. Why should I compromise SO much? I can compromise some, actually a good amount, but come on. If I'm going to settle like some over the hill old guy, I might as well not bother.
I look a lot younger and stay fit, so confidence and demographics are the real issue. I'm working on the confidence and can't change the demographics. Maybe I need to get a Russian bride. Just kidding.

I wouldn't recommend It's Just Lunch if that's what you're using. My friend tried it and hasn't met anyone she would even consider. And it was really expensive.
The only place I've seen that advertised is on airline in-flight magazines. The pictures of the women who "run" the various offices look EXACTLY like that's what they would do for a living. Then, there's a few testimonies claiming success. A few. That means a LOT of bad lunches. It looks flaky.
Go to the bars and clubs (even if you don't like them) and get practice talking to women.
Stop over-thinking. Get rejected often and become okay with it. Once you are okay with it and perfect your dating skills, find a girlfriend you will.
Maybe I should have also mentioned I'm an introvert. Bars and clubs don't work at all for me. So being an introvert + confidence issues = single with little chance of finding someone.
