I’m 55, divorced for 5 years, and it’s ok! It was the best thing! But I am lonely. I work at a job I enjoy, I have been on dating websites, with no luck. I seem to attract older, grandpa-ish men. The ones I am interested in aren’t in me! Help.

I'm glad you mentioned that here because I think that's the first thing. Then it resonates and expands from there. If we don't lGosh, this is one place I don't feel your pain. I've seen folks with these and it seems it's got to be genetics. I don't know how much you can change that. I would think a length that didn't end anywhere near that area would be good.

As a matter of fact, to amp up my workout I signed up for some personal training. This is my second week I had a good relationship with two sets of parents who guided who guided with love, not opinions. Love is never having to say you are sorry. This comes with letting the youth be youth and learn from trial and error.

If it makes you feel any better I am having the same problem. Except I’m 59 and I don’t even get the grandpas interested in me. They all seem to want women that are 40 or younger. I have decided if God wants me to have somebody he will send them to me some way.
I have joined a singles group that is for singles over 40 but not many men show up and when they do they are swarmed by all the women. Anyway good luck to you and if you figure out the answer I would like to know.
Cindkaymom and Jan Brown –
I’ve been blogging about dating senior men for 3 years and I listen to lots of feedback from women who feel as you do, that there are not many men out there, and when one comes your way, he’s not the man you’re looking for.
Here are some tips for online dating, still the best way these days to find men — because in fact THEY’RE all on line looking for YOU.
My readers are women 58-75 who have been widowed or divorced, and they say these tips mostly work. I have also talked to senior men about what they are looking for in a companion (They always say intelligence and a pleasant disposition, but we know they really want someone who looks great, doesn’t argue, and likes to cook. LOL).
1.Make sure your photo and your profile reveal a woman who is contented, actively pursuing her interests, and not overeager about tying up with a man. I advise women never to say they are looking for marriage, but rather for companionship. Men will close you out in a heartbeat if you say you’re looking for a husband.
2. Men are shallow; they will judge you first by your appearance. Be yourself – don’t put up a 10-year-old photo, and don’t hire your girlfriend who models for Ralph Lauren, but definitely use the most flattering image you can find. If you have a trim figure, a fully body shot helps because men have complained to me that they don’t mind a woman who is curvy, but they don’t like to be fooled into thinking she’s slender if she’s not.
3. Shop for the right kind of dating site. There are hundreds, and some of them are specialty sites. Going beyond Christian / Jewish dating, or widows dating and divorcee dating, there are sites for dog lovers, horse lovers, bikers, smokers. There are some great sites for seniors, too, of course.
4. Don’t reject a man because he seems too old. When you think of all the baggage a man carries by the time he’s 60, his years are the least of it. Better a caring, intelligent, interesting, generous 72 year old than a 50 year old with issues like bitterness about an ex, selfish children, money problems, and more.
Good luck!
