Not at all-  the way things are these days, there are women even in their 60s getting pregnant.

Well you are absolutely right on that one!  I am 57 but still appreciate everything that you mention above.  The 'pervy' attitude comes from younger people who simply don't have the imagination and foresight to sense how they will feel say in twenty to thirty years or so.  But age they will and suffer the same predujice that you talk about.  I look on it as akin to children being spiteful in the playground ...  their maturity to accept their actions can only come later when they are able to see 'the other side'.\nBut for now I guess we will just have to continue appreciating the female form in quiet .... keeping those 'pervy' remarks at bay!

Because they ARE snobby little bitches. I used to be one myself. But seriously, I think it's a little bit of insecurity masquerading as aloofness. When you hit 30, you're just plain fabulous and don't need to act snobbish.

I can't speak for all older women, only for myself.  I agree with you, there IS a human need for "company".   I find what I miss the most when I'm not partnered isn't the 'physical intimacy', it's the 'emotional intimacy'... the closeness of being with another.  \n\nAs for older women going lesbian, I've done that.  And for me, it wasn't due to not being able to find a decent male partner. It was because of my life experiences with the men I've chosen in the past.  I've been married twice to men who turned out to be violent.  Neither of them seemed to me to be the violent type when we were first married tho.  When my last marriage to a man ended, (and I got the heck outta dodge), I made a promise to myself that I would never - EVER - pick another man.. No matter what!  That was 19 years ago... I raised our 3 sons alone, and didn't look back.  \n\nThen when my sons were nearing their late teen years (about 6 years ago), my thoughts began turning to my future.  Did I truly want to be alone for the rest of my life?  I missed the emotional intimacy of being in a relationship.  But I was still as determined not to choose another man, because for whatever reason I chose the wrong ones each time.  I was in therapy and working on my issues too.  \n\nAnd it suddenly dawned on me.  LOL  I had sworn to myself not to choose another man, but uhhhhhhh... ermmmm.. who did that leave then??  Unless aliens were landing on earth, that only left women... The more I thought about it, the more comfortable I was with the idea.  Of course I questioned myself, questioned my therapist... Would it be right for me to be with another woman?  I spent a few years tussling with it all.  \n\nI didn't go looking for a female partner, it just.... happened.  My first relationship was with a woman who was a very good friend of mine.  And I realized that it did feel right to be with her.  After several years I moved in with her.  My sons were on the verge of being on their own, and they were very happy for us.  Life was just fine... until she suddenly died from a blood clot from her leg to her lung.  Then booooom!  My life fell apart... I spent a few years wondering - what the heck??  \n\nMy second relationship with a woman - I went looking for her.  (I wrote about that in another question in here).  That was a disaster waiting to happen.  sigh.  \n\nBut I learned some very valuable lessons.  Among other things, I learned that relationships are relationships, no matter who that is with.  I didn't just choose the wrong men - I chose the wrong partner, period.  Back into therapy to learn how to choose the right "relationship".  I realized finally that men aren't inheritently evil, neither are women.  I simply had issues where I (unknowingly) chose the wrong person, the one who would end up being totally wrong for me.  I did that over and over, male or female.  So now I'm learning to deal with my OWN issues, so that one day I'll be able to recognize the right person when she comes along.  \n\nOh yeah, I still prefer women over men for a relationship, but now it's for the right reasons, for me.  \n\nAnd thru the years, in talking with other older women who've 'gone lesbian' later in life, many have chosen this lifestyle because of their earlier life experiences.  Some because they (like me) have been hurt by men so much.  And they (like me) have learned the hard way that women can hurt women just as much (if not more) as men can.  Some of these older women have realized that they've 'bought into' the pressures and/or expectations of society, and have gotten married to men because of that, only to realize they weren't happy, they weren't being true to themselves.  It has taken some of those women quite some time to realize or admit that to themselves.  The lucky ones are those who realize it early on and avoid years of misery.  \n\nWell.. I g

Call Family Independent Living, It should be listed under Social Services or State Angencies or whatever this Administration is calling it. They can tell you if she qualifies for free counciling which i assume she would. Hang in there Grandma, she needs you more than ever now.

If that happened, she would give up her work "instantly". But isn't work the driving force of her life? "Yeah, it is. But that's because I don't have somebody supporting me." (For now she's stuck with serial dating, the longest relationship weighing in at around 18 months.)"

Independent women do not scare me.\n\nI think the best relationships are those of two people who can live a fulfilling and independent existence, but voluntarily choose to be together, not for any financial reasons, but for emotional fulfilment. I have been with a number of independent women, including one who was extremely intelligent, educated, articulate and erudite. I admired her greatly. Another former lover simultaneously ran two businesses - neither of us batted an eyelid when money had to be paid, we both had the resources.\n\nThe good thing about two people choosing to be together in this way, is that either can just walk away, at any stage. So consequently, the onus is on each other to do the utmost to make the relationship of continuing mutual benefit and satisfaction.

You definitely needs an older woman.  don't go looking for smoe young thing because she will only want you for your money.  Find someone that you can enjoy life with.  Because they say marry someone that loves to talk because when you get old that is all you are going to be able to do....go to cultural things....mature events.....I don't know where you are from but look in your area for activities going on.....Church is a good place to start....but your heart must be in it for true......Good Luck.....email me  seagull50@bermuda.com

Old fashioned values are great and I would love to see them continue on.  But, there is such a fine line anymore.  Some women seem to want to get away from those values some and take charge more.  I think that is great too.  I think it all boils down to getting to go out with the person that you like.
