I know I am not entitled to anything, or deserve love….but it sure be nice to have a woman a woman in my arms again. Alisha Ross – I was on a well-known online “dating” site for about 6 mons. I found very few real women in my age bracket and geographic area. (After a while you can spot the “bots” a mile away.) So I created a fake yet detailed female profile to find out what the male competition was like. I counted 208 guys compared to the women I usually found.

Not everybody is looking for love & marriage
I would look at it this way, if you meet a mature, kind woman who is interested in you, don’t focus on her age. Focus on what her interests are, what her values are, and how she treats people. I don’t mean that you should date women who obviously are in their 20’s. You can feel it when someone is mature and has lived enough of life to be compatible. I was together with my ex-husband for a total of 19 yrs, 16 yrs married. I was a loyal, caring wife believing we’d be together until old age.
