FB Rampages and Midnight Talks So FB is on a Bender, it is promoting dating sites. One after another, after another. Several have pictures of the same guy with the same bio (much like real life) . So, we ladies, have made fun of them for the most part. I do read some comments though and there are women, thinking these stud muffins would really need a dating site. Or as if they really didn't care about age or beauty because they were "mature". Women were posting all sorts of personal info, trying to have the men contact them, it gets nuts. Then, there was an ad with a sexy woman, extremely busty, and young. Her ad was looking for a "mature" relationship. It was about equal to the women's comments. some knew right away it was a scam, others were desperate and giving out and emails. It was crazy. I almost felt like they were targeting seniors, like we are gullible. Another site had the headline, Mate Close to Home.....now many of us commented on that being the most honest of them all. Here on SFF we are more like a community than a dating site. Some meet, date, and marry. Others share their life and find friendship. Then we have the hellions. There will always be those. I have joined sites that have locals and usually quit very quickly. There seems to be a mindset among local fellows that women are objects. It is not surprising, but it seems a bit much. There is a bring pizza and beer and you can watch my netflix vibe. Then, there are the ones that want to meet at McDonalds for coffee, because they can get senior coffee free. Always good to know you are thought of as worth a free coffee at McDonalds  . There are the fun daters to, bonfires with some. Hikes, love hikes. Beach days and museum visits, those are very cheap to free, and tons of fun.The investment does not have to be financial, it can be time. Which brings us to midnight talks. Most recently a group of us "oldies" were having bonfire chats. You know the kind, just tipsy enough to solve world crisis...lol as long as the world consists only of the yard. One of out topics, what are single people really looking for? The consensus was a really good corn beef on rye, with an excellent spicy mustard and New York style cheesecake for desert. Which translates to, we are not really looking. At least in our little group on that late night we found ourselves to be vested in ourselves more than in finding "the one" or any one for that matter. That said, here is the monkey wrench. Often it is couples that meet older and more settled to begin with that have the most beautiful relationships. I am not yet older and more settled...ok not yet more settled. I found out during a period of not dating for a year, that I really enjoyed not dating. I enjoy not answering to anyone but myself. It is a phase of course, but its having a good run of it. |

Dating sites on FB ??????? Geez I must be old !!!!! I only get ads for funeral stuff !!!! ROFLMAO Just kidding ! My FB all I allow is friends and family. SFF has some from FF and the people on SFF r great. I love the lighter side of the blogs and the fun chats in room. I was on the phone with my friend and reading blogs. Rocket's blog I was reading about Costco, well needless to say ... my friend thought I lost it when I was laughing so hard I could pee my pants. I had to read it to her and she started laughing. So not only does it bring a smile to my face...it brings a smile to people close to us ! I dated a man who was from FF and he is on here too. On here he is Bell153

I joined SFF just to have something to do when I got off work late at night. I had been a widow for several years, and had no intention of finding a mate. I loved the chat rooms.... always someone there, no matter what time it was, and we talked and talked, sometimes about serious matters, but a lot of laughter too. Then one evening, I met Joe in the chat room and something just clicked, and we were married 3 months later. That was 18 years ago, and I'm still here to visit and keep in touch with friends that we have met here, both just online and in person. Most of the ones we have met in person have left SFF and gone to FB, where I also keep in touch with them. And yes, still have some midnight talks! Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I GAVE UP ON EVEN TRYING TO DATE MANY YEARS AGO. THERE ARE VERY FEW MEN OF ANY INTEREST AROUND HERE, MANY ARE THE COFFEE AT MCDO TYPE. I GO ON EXCURSIONS WITH A GROUP AND ATTEND LECTURES AND STUDY PROVENCAL WITH PEOPLE MY AGE AND THAT IS ENOUGH FOR ME.

I am on this site to read what other seniors think about life and how they deal with it individually. I am not interested in dating, have enough to do every day. I may post blogs again when time allows. I am on "telegram" where I chat with my family and exchange messages, daily. That is a great platform for us. Happiness is when what you think, what you say, what you do are in harmony - M. Gandhi
