People separating/losing someone in later life

[Gillythedilf]

Morning everyone,


I was having a conversation with my right hand man at work earlier in the week regards what would you do if he lost his wife to someone else or death etc at his age (56).He said he wouldn’t like to be on his own but at the same time it would be much harder for a bloke to find a woman than a woman find another bloke.
Tbh I never give it much thought but the blokes right,a woman could probably find another gadgie within a day or two but the bloke has got to work extra harder to find a woman at this stage of his life.

I’d say if me and our Lass split up she would have blokes lining up to be with her but I’d probs find it a bit harder at my age (both 43) even though I’m quite good looking and have plenty in my favour .A woman has just got to hint at being interested in a bloke and he’s head over heels married,single it matters not.

Anyone lost a long term partner to whatever means and how was it ?How did it you move on ?I particularly interest in what everyone’s take on it is especially the blokes.

I am not good looking like you, I look like shit, I am the same age as the guy your chatting about, if my better half dumped me it's not the end of the world, I am happy in myself, I actually like me, and there's loads of single mature ladies about, it's not that difficult, not all single blokes are needy

My wife is leaving me because "everything I say is irrelevant".

That's easy for her to say when her brother's girlfriend has just bought a new coffee table.

Piece of piss for a bloke at that age. Most women will be past the shallowness of looks etc and just looking for a companion.

There's a lot of merry widows and divorcees out there.

Shudder.

My mate got divorced when he was 50. Thought he would have great time. They are all mental. Well the ones he met were.

Shudder.

It's what the always come out with when they are getting on a bit. Ideal for a bloke, he can just go along with it and get tucked in, even when his lobes are lower than his jaw.

I'd need to find someone for companionship if for nothing else but it would also stop me daughter coming round and nagging about not hoovering or whatever often enough.

I still like my missus. We get on and she isn’t needy at all. If she died on me there would be no need to share my house with another woman.

Thanks for that bit of a randomness. The thread is talking about difficulties in finding another, implying it's tough for blokes. It's not.

Morning Harry. Thankfully I have yet to meet a full on bunny boiler.

With internet dating, it's now a lot easier.
Personally, I wouldn't bother & just stay on my own

As long as the fella’s got coin they’ll be hanging off him.

Ok thread police.

Although I do agree it would be easy to get another woman. Getting one that was compatible would be looking for the Holy Grail. Hence my post of non randomness.

I think you may have some undiagnosed neurological condition.

That's the thing, getting a woman isn't difficult, meeting one that's compatible might be a whole different ball of wax

And a good seeing to.

More than likely.

The amount of blokes on here who constantly moan about their other half suggests for many that's not important

And a good seeing to.

If you're lucky. Depends when they dry up with the change. But if they havent yet then aye, especially if they've been in a long lasting relationship.
