Why do people assume I could still find someone at my age? (marrying, men)

I agree about the tours. Here in FL they charter the tour buses and they're always taking the seniors somewhere fun like the casinos, dinner shows, attractions, historic places. Locally there are potlucks and bingo and events for the retired. You just have to look around for the activities and they'll be single women that want some company.
I'm a 64 year old man and the day of my retirement is getting closer. I dread even thinking about such day because working is my lifeline. It has always been the source of my life. I've never been married (or in a LTR) and don't have children. I understand how many of my colleagues are looking forward for that day because they want to spend more time with their grandchidren, etc. For me, however, it'll be the start of eternal boredom.
Many colleagues have been joking and teasing me how I can finally have time to find a lady. But many say they are not joking. They can't be serious, can they? I have grey hair already and grumpy as hell.
I'm a huge fan of grey hair and older men. Always have been. I don't know what you look like, but even that can be overcome with a great personality. If you're grumpy as hell, well, it may not work out for you. Maybe a good woman can take care of that for you.
Since you seem to be blowing off everyone who is trying to help you, what is the point of your post? You can't change your age, but you can change your attitude, which sucks. You seem like one of those guys who defines their self worth by their job, and traveling 45 weeks a year provided a convenient excuse for you not to have relationships (and the gold diggers can't steal your money, either). You can travel the world, volunteer, or do whatever the hell you want, or you can sit at home, alone, and be a grump ass. Your problem is a manufactured one of your own creation and only you can fix it, but that doesn't seem to have any appeal to you.

Sorry if I came across as too grumpy, I wasn't have a very good day yesterday. Yes, my self worth is defined by my job.

Find something you are passionate about?
I worked with some folks in their 60s, and they are one of the cutest couples I ever met. Both so happy, so funny, best friends, you can't help to see the glimmer in their eyes.
How did they meet? The guy was into buying old used items and the lady owned her own consignment business. They were both well-to-do.. just bumming around with their time doing what they loved, and they met!
When you love what you do you attract a similar energy..
Silverwhing you can still have a realationship.At my grandmother's senior living facilty, those people were getting it more than me! Remember on the news we had an epidemic of stds with the elderly?
You are still young op and those older women are looking for you!
What are you waiting for? At your age I'd bite some heinies.

Don't be surprised if one of them ends up penniless.
FYI, when you die, you will end up penniless. You can't take it with you.
