It's Just Entertainment

I consider my “dating pool” to be single women in their 50’s and 60’s. So far (approaching 6 years), I have found that, within this group, many women genuinely want to be in a romantic relationship, but simply do not have time for the following reasons, none of which are “wrong”, they just “are”:

Many still work full or part-time or volunteer, which occupies many hours each week;

They may be taking care of a parent or two;

They have children in the area that, of course, they want to see;

They have grandchildren that they want to baby sit so their children can have time to themselves;

They have friends or family that visit or they need to go visit;

They have girlfriends they need to see and do “girly” things with;

They have a hobby or two that I don’t enjoy (golf, tennis, boating, etc,);

They have all the routine “stuff of life” that every woman has (hair, nails, shopping);

All of the above seems to leave 4 hours on a Saturday night twice a month available for dating.

Unfortunately, this 8 hours a month is not enough time to build a close, caring, loving relationship.

Yes, many of the above could be enjoyable shared activities AFTER a relationship has been created, but not things to do together BEFORE a relationship has been created.

Many also feel they have spent most of their life, until now, pleasing others and see the time now as “Me” time. A time to do whatever they want, when they choose to do it without consulting or discussing it with anyone. I can completely understand that feeling and cannot fault it, however, it does not lead to cultivating a relationship.

Also, some are snow birds that are merely looking for some South Florida entertainment for a few months.

I absolutely admire and envy the full and complete life they have built without a man, but they are at least fooling themselves into thinking they have time for a relationship.

Of course, I hear, “If a woman really wants to be with you, she will MAKE time for you.” Unfortunately, I don’t want to be in the same category with an oil change.

@ It's Just Entertainment:
I can empathize. Men in their 60's (my dating pool) present with the same issues; jobs, friends, family, etc. and simply do not have time for a relationship. AND they seem to be seeking a 60+ year old woman who is one of the "new 40's". I'm 60+ and I've earned every single wrinkle, ache, and small roll I have. Love it or leave it!! LOL
