Okay we have older and younger. How about 37 to 50

[alfriedar]

Well I thought I would start a new topic. Those looking between 37 to 50 .. Seems there is a Forum for the spot below and the one above.. anyone looking in this group?
Who's out there come give a hollar.. howdy and what you enjoy and looking for in a significant other..

[farmerj]

hmm...

I think 40 fits in this category then....

Just trying to start life over again after a not so nice divorce.

[Catalpa]

37 to 50? I'm just wondering what category that would be...."been there, done that"? "Old enough to know better, and young enough not to care?" Or "mid-life and crisis free?" LOL, maybe I'm just struggling with the idea that I belong in this age block, eh?!

As for me - I'm Christian, mid-forties, never married, very much of an independent, self-sufficiency, homesteading mindset, and working hard to live that way in reality, though I have a long way to go. I would love to date a Christian guy of like mind, though he'd have to understand that my teen-aged child is my first responsiblity, and that I'm currently not free to re-locate. Kind of hard to find anyone like that, especially since I live in a really podunk area of Michigan.

Otherwise, I'm a happy, healthy, soft-hearted, intelligent, shotgun totin', Bible thumping, apple-pie baking Mom. ;D My idea of a good time is kayaking, skiing, Sunday morning Bible class, finishing a project, or spending an entire day in the deer blind - even if I don't see any deer. ::)

I just hate the fact that I'm over the age limit to be here! ???

I'll be 45 this summer. Still can't figure out how that happened!

I'm pretty much into rebuilding my life my own way right now (divorced in 2007), but wouldn't mind meeting someone who can be a friend first and see where things go from there. I'm not into running around or playing mind games. I just think it would be sublime to find that true partner in life.

It seems to me that so many men who are successful in their careers have developed a perpetual (and extremely aggravating) case of egomania. And so many of the guys who haven't placed their career above all else seem to be immature and looking for someone else to take care of them.

Where are the *real* men? You know, the ones who respect themselves and their female partner alike, who can be strong when needed and soft when appropriate, who have enough assets of their own that they don't need someone else's, who knows when (and how) to be witty in conversation or to sit in quiet contemplation, who respects the earth and its creatures, who is a good leader of men and a good mentor of children. Where are you???

Like I said earlier, I'm working on building my own life in my own way, but it sure would be nice to find a real man somewhere out there who I could eventually settle down with.

[Catalpa]

....dam kids.

Txanne

LOL, thanks, Annie, I needed that! ;D

[MHinFox]

LOL c6 there are many of us out there...but most of us stay to ourselves too much these days...:)

[kerryms]

At 47 I see alot of woman out there that have thier own little world going on.Me I'd like someone to share it with.Where are they? ??? And yes being older we are picky. (No free-loaders,and I'm not yo momma.)Someday my prince will come-crap that's a fairy tale. ;D ;D ;D

[hardrock]

Guess I'll throw my hat in. :)

47 and just looking to build and share a future with
someone that has similar interests.

[flatwater]

In answer to c6-h12-06 were married to some pretty amazing woman already and mine don't want to share. ;D :D :-*

[stilltryinat50]

lol at flatwater........and Kerryms, don't feel like the loneranger hon.....I would love to find a wonderful, single, mature (47-55) Christian, fun-loving, man to spend the rest of my life with, too.

[12vman]

Whew.. I just made it!
My partner and I have decided to go splitzville after 9 years. Kind of a shame but we both believe it's for the best. We're on good terms but we have different goals it seems. Just couldn't get the harmony thing going..

Don't feel sorry. It's actually a relief for us both. It's hard to get ahead when you're running around in circles. There are no children involved so that's a blessing..

Anyhow.. Looks like I'll be shakin' the bushes for a hardcore "Offgridkindagirl" in the near future. Figured I'd give ya fair warning.. ;) I'm 50, BTW..

Hi All.
I'm a newby here. I'm 43, divorced way back in '99. Just haven't found the "right" one yet and kind of quit looking. Bought my homestead back in May and will possibly be moving there in two years or so. Right now I'm trying to get prepared for the self-sufficient lifestyle. I would love to find a beautiful country girl to join me who knows all the lost arts of country living, and I'm sure I will find her when the time is right. In the meantime I'm just happy I have found like-minded folks here to learn from.

[Catalpa]

Welcome, Rocket. There is a good group of folks here, and while there's always chaff amongst the wheat, there's lots of wisdom, advice, and just plain fun to be found. I have learned a lot in the canning/preserving/baking area just by reading the posts, and there's been some good discussions in the firearms area, too. Enjoy!

[roolu]

Ok, I'm joining this one! I'm 39, never married, no kids, not much baggage (other than financial) pretty independant and political. New to homesteading so trying to learn all I can. Not new to country living or hard times.

[cmdan]

Lets see. I'm 44 so this is me. Have big plans to build a home that will be off grid (mostly ;D ) Do the mini farm thing so I will provide most of what I need....Plan on starting in 5 years (my youngest will be out of school), until then I have been practicing on a small scale with some success...still working on that. Consider myself a conservative, I believe the Republican party is out of control with their big spending. Other than that, I am a simple guy who likes the simple things in life. Some place with few people is where I'll be buying land. I was looking around Idaho, but lately I've been thinking of buying up North....far less people......Too Much?

[mudd]

i just have to add my 2 cents worth.im older than any i have read on here!im 64,and believe it or not even an old homesteader like me gets lonesome.yep ive tried to find men who like living this life,most think im nuts,what i get is men who think at my age its to much work,and they want to travel.go to towns,mind you i dont mind going out once in a while.but i guess i will just stick to my animals for company,as i love this life..just wanted to let others know you can want to find someone at any age!just dont mean i will find any hardcore homesteader like myself,and i wont give it up! good luck to all of you!

[gregabob]

ok-46, made a few mistakes but trying to make up for them, looking to relocate to someplace free of noise and crowds ( Goshen County, Wyoming is looking interesting). Divorced due to my foolishness, but getting along with the ex. Planning on homesteading by myself, but if a gal comes along who wants to live the independent life........ ;) the kicker is after I sell my house, I will be willing to relocate! 8)

[forever_mj]

Hey....I'm new here and I'm lookin!! Would love to find a guy (40 to 56 or so) that is in the planning stage, or already homesteading. I want to have livestock, have a garden, live as independently as possible. I appreciate the simple things in life and I am not high maintenance. I live in Texas and would like to find someone that lives here as well. I don't want to do this alone, but I'm determined to do it....with or without a partner! But it sure is nicer when you have someone to share everything with!

[Michael32170]

Forever mj, you need to provide more info.

[forever_mj]

Ok Michael. I just turned 50, but am constantly told I look much younger. I have long dark brown hair, green eyes, 5'9" and on the slender side of average. I have a good sense of humor. I am very passionate about the things I care about. I am honest, caring, loyal and intelligent. My kids (3) are all grown and living on their own. How's that for starters? Is that the kind of info you were talking about?

[dreamer]

OK here it goes. 48 male will be 49 this month, just starting over.

[PaulNKS]

My turn.... I'm 47.... will be 48 in April. BUT>.... I'm not looking for a spouse... but what is wrong with looking for buddies of either sex, just to hang with and share interests.... hunting, fishing, homesteading..... as single men, we have a lot to offer. Most of us probably know how to cook, can, garden, hunt, and have to do the jobs of both roles. LOL We have commonalities to offer anyone as far as interests and abilities. What would be great is people nearby that would like to gather for cards, pot-lucks, etc.
Paul

P.S. I'm in northeast Kansas

[ladyhorserider]

I have to hurry up here before I turn just a little too old! :D

Upper 40’s, fit, active, 2 horse owner and use them. Non substance user of any kind, NON religious, non activist, and VERY willing to relocate as in…I am packed! I like almost anything men do except sports, SciFi, murder shows, drunkenness, nascar. Don’t do much in the way of ladies hobbies. I like intelligence, common sense, outside of the American box and fun. I have farmed, can operate equipment, and know animal husbandry. But most importantly I am very affectionate and would rather be lonely by myself than lonely with someone.
