The only problem with it is it’s a bad mismatch. Us youngish males don’t pair off well with older ladies.

Yes, I’d love to see it make a come back. I’m not looking at it as a lonely hearts club though. I enjoyed the chat and fellowship.

Yah, if there are some other old folks like myself. I always feel like I’m intruding when all the other members are young. Not that I don’t have anything to offer, I just don’t have much to offer. :o)

Regarding the Singles' thread, I'd try to participate a bit if you revived the thread for the holidays, but I can't see myself having time to lead threads. I've picked up some additional stuff in real life, and I'm not in a good place to put together topics.

Regarding older women, I have mixed feelings. I've known some very nice older women, but most have been married or much older than I'd prefer for a romantic relationship. I never had any good relationships when I was younger, so I wouldn't mind dating someone much younger as a chance to capture a little bit of what I never had. At times, I've been pretty insistent that a potential romantic partner be much younger. At other times, I have been willing to consider older women.

The odd thing is that most of my experiences with slightly older women end up reinforcing my desire for younger women. When I was in my 30's, a couple of women in their late 40's tried to manipulate me into relationships that really weren't healthy for either of us. Another relationship in my 30's was with a woman who was just a year or two older. When I met her, I at first thought that the difference was irrelevant and that insistence on someone younger than I am would be silly. She ended up being very dishonest with me.

Just recently, a woman on Match.com clicked the button saying that she was interested in me. She was a year older, but she seemed to be a great match. Again, I decided that I would be crazy to turn down the chance of a match that seemed that good just because she was a little older. She ended up being rude and insulting. I've had a couple of people review the communications, and they've said that they see no reason for her to act as she did.

My sample size is too small to generalize about older women/younger men combinations either for myself or others. On the other hand, I'd approach the possibility of one of these relationships with a little more caution now for the next few months. I'll likely go back to wanting someone younger but being open to someone slightly older, but my history with these is not encouraging.
