Oh where oh where have all the good and single men gone? This is one of the biggest problems that women over 50 face, as it seems like most men at the same age are already spoken for. And the statistics aren’t on our side, as the ratio of single men to single women takes a huge dip in numbers.
Ah… But before you start to panic, you should know that there are plenty of good, single, and over 50 men available! However, when you meet them, you’ve got to know how to play the game. Sure, statistics do not paint a hopeful picture, but there still millions of single men out there, just waiting to be scooped up by a lovely lady.
Now we know what you’re going to say, if there are so many men out there just waiting for us, where are they? Good question! We’ve got a few ideas of the best places to meet a good (and single) man that’s around your age.
- Online
Obviously, the first place you should check out is the internet. Where else will go you be able to (theoretically) meet millions of men without ever stepping out of your house. Many of these dating sites like Maturedating.com are designed to help people like you meet the right person. What’s even better is that you can find the site that caters directly to your needs—meaning there are sites that have your specific preferences in mind. Want a gentleman who is a vet? They have military dating sites. Want to find someone your age without being pestered by young kids? There are dating sites for mature adults. The possibilities are limitless.
- Church
Looking for a man at church is a great way to find someone who has similar values as you do. Think about it, you already have the same faith and you’re probably going to find that you share other things in common as well. Look into your local church and see if they offer groups for singles and the community to meet and mingle. There’s usually food, games, and fellowship. Even if you don’t find a man that you connect with, at least you will be surrounded by like-minded people to make friends with.
- The Gym
In an effort to live longer and keep their vigor, men and women who are in their golden years opt to spend some time at the gym. The gym is perfect for those who are looking for something to do and it can be a good way to start making friends. You’ll find that when you have a membership to a gym, faces will become familiar and you’ll happily start chatting with someone while on the treadmill. Who knows, while you’re chatting away with that handsome silver fox, you two just may hit it off.
- Attend a Class
It’s true, it is never too late to learn new things. You can take a class or attend a seminar on a wide variety of topics. These places are both informative and a nice place to meet someone who is also looking to enrich their lives.
