Single Men in mid 60s plus

Why not just ask your questions right here? No one knows who you are so nothings off limits or can cause you embarrassment. I'm 62 single man and would answer if I can, but would never give out my email or phone number on any social media site.

That fish out of water syndrome.

On my old forum I was referred to as 'The Cool Dad' by some of the youngsters. But at age 57, I seem to be the kid on this forum. It is a bit refreshing actually, to be honest. ;)

I was your age ...ha! there's that old ''your age'' statement... :ROFLMAO: but I was your age when I joined this forum... I'm 67 now...

I don't know why some people are getting so upset about this. The OP has asked a question.. no one is being kidnapped. All the men on this forum are old enough to know if they want to reply to the OP or not.... let it be... let the men answer for themselves..

I think maybe most of us remember that a few days ago this same poster made a post that she's been alone for a year now and asked about meeting single men. And now there's a request for private email exchange with single men. That's why in my personal opinion. It's not a dating site. Sure the men will know if they want to answer or not, but that can be done in PM. I've never seen anyone requesting private email addresses here. (And I see some teasing going on but haven't seen anyone "getting upset.")

Oh it happens often on here.. and other forums. I hadn't seen the OP's previous post.. and you're right this is not a dating site, but again.. I reiterate the men can answer for themselves ..or not as the case may be.. we're not their mothers..lol

You're very new to the site yourself Kate, so you must know that not everyone knows the rules immediately
 
I dunno...

This Internet can still be a bit like the wild west. Margaret could be a 200lb construction worker named Carl looking to divest a single senior out of his life savings.

But for now I'll continue to give Margaret the benefit of the doubt. Even though she has asked posters for emails after only a handful of posts herself.

Wait... this isn't Margaret we were talking with this morning about the "Peggy" thing... this is someone else. @Beezer

Pretty sure I knew before joining that it's not a dating site. And again, no one was upset about it... but both men and women have suggested she try PM for her "personal questions" so "the rules" should be clear now, no?

I know the rules... but I'm not attacking the OP..they've done nothing wrong !!

And that was my point when I made my first post in this thread and added the link.

There's no law that I know of to stop anyone from asking single men in their 60s questions, but I don't think asking questions is really the point. I think Mggs11's objective in asking for private email addresses is to meet single men in their 60s, and she is trying to use Senior Forums to accomplish that. That's the point.

I'm not saying single men in their 60s shouldn't contact Mggs11, that's up to them. However, if someone is trying to meet single men, there are better places to do that than on Senior Forums. No one is upset or "attacking" the OP by pointing out this is not a dating site. :rolleyes:
