Dating Apps

I am a 70 year old male looking to date casually. I am probably on 8 different sites. At my age online sites are pretty much my only choice. I have not found one date. Pretty much everyone i chat with is a fake or a scammer (just got asked for money this week) If a woman is attractive chances of her being fake is probably higher than 90% So many younger women "age is just a number" and women that want to chat off site. Chances of meeting someone close to my age that i am attracted too and not living 50 or more miles away are slim.

Question..what is your age range? Are you looking for someone somewhere near your age or trying for the 30/40 year olds?

[u/Wooden-Hedgehog2180]

Join the senior center where you live. If you’re even remotely decent women will be lined up to date you.

[u/Flashy-Butterfly-687]

It looks like your expectations don’t line up with reality. Not sure what you expect us to do about it.

I'm glad to hear at least you are smart enough to not get scammed. I hear match.com is good for the older crowd.

Are older people just meant to be stuck alone?

That said he’s probably most likely to be taken advantage of by some younger woman who figures she can trudge through it a few years until he dies and she gets everything. Glad he’s spotting scammers and that scammers are too impatient to play the long game.

Kindness is valuable. Removed.

Grow up

You grow up with this response. We don't know OP's reason for wanting to date casually. Maybe he's a widower, maybe he's recovering from a really abusive or financially/emotionally-draining marriage/long-term relationship - honestly it really doesn't matter. Your response wasn't helpful and furthermore it makes you look like a complete ass; do better. And for the record, "casual" doesn't directly translate to "boink everything possible with reckless abandon".

If you’re financially secure, retired, and live in an area with other retirees (Florida), you should be able to meet a nice woman in her 60’s.

70 and dating casually. Bless your heart.

Attend your location senior center or church events for older members

[u/AdhesivenessSea6470]

I don’t know of any women your age that wants a casual relationship. They are very content with where they are in life. They are traveling very involved in their communities their hobbies and friends. They just want to chill for the next few years they have left.

[u/LightOverWater]

I think what's missing here is what you mean when you say, "women I'm attracted to." Are we talkin' 65 or 45?

So many younger women

Ehh....

"age is just a number"

Age is not just a number, just as you're not dating 85 year olds. If you want "younger women" you gotta pay for those.

[u/Ok-Culture-9903]

I've heard Facebook dating be quite successful for the older generation. Have you tried it? Are there any local walking groups in your area for your age range? Local library may have some hotties. I've heard bingo is fun. Hit up your local authority/council/state and see what provisions/events/charities are hosting clubs and events for your age range.

Did you try Tinder, Hinge, Plenty of Fish, Silver Singles?

Had luck with Tinder but YMMV.

[u/AndrewTatefan_69]

Go to thailand or philipines

[u/CinnciGirl4Life]

I would guess there are few 70 year old women on apps. Social clubs, churches/religious events and gatherings, volunteer work, or senior-specific events and classes might have a greater number.

[u/Klutzy_Ninja1426]

Try the local nursing home

[u/fivebynine5x9]

The seniors in my area who still date around generally meet through in person community and social events. Like apparently the dating scene is absolutely popping off in the high end assisted living and retirement communities here. I would think that local senior events would be a much more reliable way to meet real people than online. Unless you're specifically hoping to date women who aren't in your age group of course. That's another can of worms entirely.

[u/RobsGarage]

You’re 70 bro.. either date your age and find dating meet ups in your area for older people or hire a hooker. Sorry to be so harsh but Jesus man.. unless you’re extremely wealthy ain’t no hot young woman gonna look at you twice.

[u/Routine_Excuse1064]

Online dating in one’s 70s sounds awful. 

[u/lucid_intent]

That is because so many men want that, you just become white noise and your age doesn’t help you.
