Over 50 Dating Opportunities for Men and Women Have Never Been Better!


For all you over 50 dating men, it's time to dust off all those trusty pick-up lines. And for all you over 50 dating women, you can play as hard to get as you want.

With more than 21 million single seniors in the United Sates and nearly four million single senior men and women in Canada, as well as tens of millions of Baby Boomers retiring over the next two decades, it's safe to say that dating is never out of date.

The future is bright for the geriatric generation's exploding single population who want to find a date or possibly even a mate. Whether it's casual dating in search of sex, a new male or female friend, romance or even love that you seek, today's seniors have more opportunity to find what they want than any other senior generation in history.

If you are age 55 or older:


  • 6% of you are widowed.

  • 9% of you are divorced.

  • 4% of you are presently separated.

  • 9% of you have never married.

That's a lot of single senior men and women available to date. And with 10,000 people retiring every day and more than 40% of them being single, more than ever before, a life of solitude is a matter of choice.

The burgeoning senior populace, along with its increasing political and social influence, means that the world is becoming more senior friendly. As a result, medical advances allow us to live longer and healthier lives and every community throughout North America is providing more senior social activities. After all, 65 is the new 45!

Studies show that seniors who have a small network of friends and engage in a variety of social activities live happier, self-sustaining and longer lives than seniors who keep to themselves or rely primarily on family for interaction.

Seniors are also discovering that the best way to avoid the dreaded assisted living existence and to stay independent are threefold:


  1. Be our own best friend by looking after ourselves both physically and mentally by adopting some surprisingly easy-to-do dietary strategies and modest exercises.

  2. Surround ourselves with at least three good active friends with diverse interests so that we are continuously exercising our brain and body.

  3. Have someone special in our life where sharing and caring are the basis of a close friendship or romance.

A great way to achieve all of the above is over 50 dating. Instead, many aging people look to their senior years with fear or dread and see it as the start of their decline. It doesn't have to be that way at all anymore. More than any other senior generation before us, we have the means and opportunity to live our Golden years as vibrantly and actively as we wish.

The other good news is that women 50 and older are no longer meek kittens waiting for the alpha male to take the lead when it comes to dating. Today's single senior women, just like men, know what they want and are becoming more assertive about taking their future into their own hands. Mature men are just as apt to be asked out as to be doing the traditional asking out.

The sheer numbers of the expanding senior population makes it more possible than ever to find exactly what over 50 men and women want when it comes to interacting with others of the opposite sex.

As a single senior, what are you looking for? Is it:


  • Friendship with someone of the opposite gender?

  • Romance?

  • Sex in the form of a 'Friend with Benefits?'

  • Love all over again?

For any and all of the above, the over 50 dating scene has never been better. The only question is: Are you ready to have fun again and turn back the dating clock?
