Guys, where can a woman in her early 60s meet her future mate?

[cantdrv55]

She’s not looking for a Tinder date. I’m truly asking for a friend. I have no advice for her. I’ve been happily married for 37 years.

[RANDY P]

Sure, if she's truly got her head screwed on straight and isn't too difficult to look at.

Rich doesn't hurt, either.

Join a pool league, bowling league, any male dominated activity. Also, maybe go to church? Volunteer work...any number of ways to get out there...

[Gogar]

Yeah, maybe church. Or if she has any girlfriends she could hang with. Maybe OurTime but that might require a lot of BS filters.

[craigster59]

Maybe she can try meetup.com

https://www.meetup.com/?_ga=2.254407368.1599742968.1626668854-384609518.1626668854

Lots of things to do and try. Hiking, biking, dancing, you name it. And it's group oriented so it's not like an awkward first date.

Bingo. Or help out at the old peoples home....

[Gogar]

yeah maybe at jo-ann or hometown buffet

[dewolf]

The cemetery.

[Heel n Toe]

On this forum. There are lots of single guys here she might find interesting.

Sign her up.

^^^ LOL ... tell her to use the name Sugarbritches so she stands out from the rest

Nope ... that one's already reserved...

Become a groupie for a rock band?

I got nuthin ... what does she like to do .... mebbe do that?

[cabmandone]

Sure! I know a few people in their late 50's that had decent results using Match.

Dating Apps do work for some. My sister came out of a terrible marriage and started using a couple different apps. She went into the process not looking to marry again, just find someone to spend time with. With in a year she went on a lot of first dates, a couple of repeat dates. Last year she did marry one of the men she met that way. Patience is key. There will be lots of people she doesn't like but if she's lucky she will find someone for her.

If she wants a more personal approach:I would try a small live music venue. At least, here locally, the local live music shows' crowds are 75% male. My husband and I saw Zoso in a small venue locally. Lots of men, hitting on women in the crowd.

Has she got any interests or hobbies? Get her involved in a group with shared interests or hobbies. As has been stated, church may be a good option.

If you have an ADVRider logon, this has discussion on the topic: https://advrider.com/f/threads/dating-after-50.1409312/

She is going to have to be patient and try various venues: Depending on the country, between the age of 60 and 70, there are about 83 men for every 100 women.

I saw it first hand when my mother passed away. My father was 61 at the time and the onslaught began almost immediately: a phalanx of multi-racial Scythian/Saka warrior women bearing condolences, food and "support".

She needs to try all the avenues mentioned above plus start the journey regardless, including volunteering in specific areas...get a computer and get busy!

Last bit of advice: she should never, ever (and this was from my Dad) mention she is looking a "mate". That will happen when it does. My father remarried at 64 to a women he met through work. Same basic age, same interests.
