John13, it sounds like you just need to get more involved to meet some people. You are in your 50s, but what age range are you looking for in women? I think that makes all the difference.
It sounds like you're looking for someone to casually date and sleep with, but not commit to. I believe that's more apt to happen with women in their 20s and 30s. 40s and up are probably past that phase, though I suppose there are exceptions to every rule.
Thanks a lot for your response.
I do appreciate all feedback on this topic. It's been very interesting!
I went out to a concert last night and had a fantastic time. It doesn't always happen but I got to hang out with a young lady (31) and her older sister (married) most of the evening including after the show. When you get home after 3AM you know you had a good time.
We had great conversation and she seemed very interested in getting together another time. But, I've been through this before so I'll keep my expectations low and see where it goes.
I'm open to most ages but from the dating site I am on it is apparent I have little to nothing in common with women my age. The youngest I contacted was 42 and I only did that once when she said she preferred older men. She did not bother to write back. All the rest have been in their 50s.
As far as commitment - in the context of strict monogamy - that may not be in my best interest right now, or maybe ever. It has never worked for me before so maybe I'll try something different. I agree, I need to get out more but it's not like I never go out. I have an interest in just dating right now and see what happens. It's embarrassing to admit this but I need more experience in that area and it's the main reason why I started this topic. I've never been one to sleep around and I still have no interest in doing that.

This is spot on. Younger women simply don't have as much "been there done that over it" as us older gals. I did plenty of no-strings connections...years ago. Fun? Sure...back then. Today I have zero interest in that sort of relationship. Certainly I don't want marriage, but I want a guy I know I can count on to be there tomorrow, next week, or a month from now, or longer. I have a busy and generally very good life. I don't have time to waste it on silly meaningless sexual encounters. I know what life is about now. I really didn't get it back then...but that's just a part of growing up.

Finding just someone to have sex with ought to be pretty easy, especially for women. Finding someone you want to have sex with is pretty darn difficult.

What's that old line? All cats are grey in the dark?

Spot on Sierra! There are plenty of undesirable characters out there
John, I have read your profile and you are definitely someone I would date. We are roughly the same age, have a lot of things in common (like taste in music). I love sex and I have no issues about putting out in the absence of a committed relationship.
However, I sense that like most guys, you are looking for someone younger and more attractive, focusing on the outside rather than what is inside.
I may be 5,000 miles away at the moment but will be coming back to the US this summer to my farm which is less than 50 miles from you. So there.
