I did two "tours of duty" on Plenty of Fish, starting in 2008. The first ended in a failed engagement, which hurt like blazes at the time, but turned out for the best, in hindsight. I fear that relationship could well have ended in divorce, and it's better to have loved and lost, than to have loved and lost your pension... AGAIN. The second "tour" ended in marriage to a wonderful woman, just a tad over five years younger than me. We're coming up on our fifth wedding anniversary, and we just celebrated the seventh anniversary of our first date on Super Bowl Sunday. When dating, I was always up front about who I am as a person, what I was looking for, and what I was not looking for. I had some "adventures" between marriages, for sure, but stability and honesty was what I craved, and got. Integrity and intelligent conversation were prerequisites. My wife does not disappoint, and she's a whole lot better looking than I am, too. I am blessed. Great video!

Thanks for being real. I have all that... what I'm lacking is the energy I used to have, and since it's 'after hours' (after work that is) that I would get together with a male friend, I'm too zoned out to give him the attention he deserves. Do you have any tips for someone like me? Most of the guys I know are already retired but I still work. I don't know that I can balance my life enough to carry a relationship through. I'm pretty much discouraged.

Met my gf at 56.. she 53. She's a size 6.. was a 4 at 22. Met because my friend saw a France bumper sticker on her car and suggested I call her for travel tips. We exchanged notes for 3 years before we met. No baggage and no head trips.

I hate the thought of dating, I'd rather my teeth pulled. It's all false, and I'd far rather meet a man some other way. I don't need a father for my kids, or someone to pay for me. All I want is someone to be themselves with me and for me to able to be myself with them. I want friendship, companionship, a meeting of the minds, someone that listens. Someone to really laugh with and enjoy eachothers company, and for us to be mutually kind and respectful with eachother. All the rest is just secondary!

Yes, women are still desirable at 50, and men can still be kind. The rest of you are missing out.

I think a desirable companion might be someone who is honest, secure, and doesn't need a partner. The best relationship one can have is with one's Self, aligned to the core of your being. 😌 P.S. Satisfied with my Self, I'm not looking.

My wife disagrees with you.

Before meeting an individual woman, a man had no idea she existed. At that point, he may have built his life, but it wasn't built FOR HER. Neither of you were made for the other to the exclusion of everything else. Don't let your hunger for affection/acceptance be the thin edge of the wedge of separating him from his family, friends & interests that might not include you. (example: if he loves fishing/camping & you hate it, don't expect him to never again go fishing/camping) If she wants to be a part of his life, a man will be very happy to have her as a companion, as long as it doesn't become him being the working caste & her the leisure caste. That's not the type of give & take you find in an equal relationship. If you treat him like a peasant, you have no reason to expect him to treat you like a queen. Same can be put on men.

I’m not over or even 50 for that matter but just reading the comments tells me how messed up the world is. Was looking for videos on women who refuse to date, and their aren’t any. Amazes me as I know several, but no one talks about it.

Honesty...honesty...honesty.

Never be afraid to walk away from any relationship whether it be a friendship or more. Don't "ghost" people! Be respectful whether the dumper or dumpee! Live a life of abundance. I've been single for many years and that's the best advice I have ever gotten for relationships. I've had women get upset that I'm not upset about them dumping me. I just square my shoulders and press on with a well lived life. I take care of myself by working out, volunteering, traveling and enjoy my life. No one is worth my happiness! And guess what? There's always another person out there interested if you try. No one takes my joy.

These women are not being honest - women than men don’t learn from past mistakes. When they finally get a man that “treats them well” they are 100% NOT grateful rather the women even OVER 50 think “that’s what I deserve & should be treated this way” & shoe ZERO gratitude

Understanding is the greatest thing in life,if it's a hookup cool,if it's long term cool... Know what you want and communicate.

Some women "put out" after a period of time. That time frame is different for everyone. Some dude chases and chases until his tongue is hanging out and "SHE" finally gives in! Next day....HE is gone....out of there, never to be heard from again, etc. etc. After all of that effort he is gone! Is it possible that sex with you was so terrible that he cannot imagine doing that again? What if both of you waited until you were married and then found out that the sex was horrible? Gee that would be horrible!

Coming from experience in the last 8 years and just now turned 60... I've dated almost all younger men... and through kind guidance and sweet but gentle flirting I make a man feel his self worth... I will make anyone know that they are an integral part of the overall picture and it is in their efforts and accomplishments of the past that make them who they are.... I can sense and be intuitive about what this person wants to hear or needs to say... I'm always the one that has to back it off and I'm always the one ending up blessed because these young men become dear friends.... I don't hold them to any attachment and they appreciate that!

This kind of thinking is why you will always have shallow relationships.

Being 58 and in a new, and loving relationship with a beautiful 60 year old is great, however, it is I that is bringing in bagage from my last relationship. I am hell bent on not making the same mistakes, as well as being alarmed to the negative parallels from my 24 year marriage. Learning to over come these parellels has been a challenge, and has raised red flags on her part. My feeling of, I must set the standard, and not give her control, could prove fatal to this relationship. I warn men to be careful, and not do this.

turned 49 divorced at 45, never in a million years did I think I would be single at 49 almost 50, and for the most part as a guy its freaking crazy, especially when you have those women who tell you, my kids and grandkids come first. Then I am sitting there wondering just how, when and in what circumstances do they come first. Do they come first if we have made plans to go away for a weekend, at what point do I tell her I cant get the deposit back, or the trip is paid for? How do i tell her, since I spent the money, and she canceled at the last minute, she owes me for her half? Or how about we make plans for a date, and at the last minute her kid calls her and says she needs a baby sitter for a date she has and her go to baby sitter canceled on her? For me when I hear my kids or grandkids come first, that tells me I am some where between her pet or her friends on the totem pole, and personally, I say no thank you and good luck. I raised my children, they are on their own and short of a emergency they are not coming between me and my relationship.

I myself,being 50,wants a woman who's honest,loving,sexual,and fun to be around! And I want to be the same for them!

Sure, they’re not going to turn into your life partner but they meet the needs women our age have (assuming you’re not in need of a sugar daddy). I’ve been seeing a guy 12 years my junior for years. We’re friends and lovers, no drama or baggage- it works fine for me.

54 yo! I sure am. Unconventional. Great company. Laughs. Amazing meals. Activity! Together and separate. I'll learn your hobby if you learn mine! I live in a clean home! Team growth!!! Lets get it!

My true dating bracket is 10 years wide, from 5 younger to 5 older. She must be financially independent, healthy and emotionally strong. I cannot financially support 2 people, I'm not a physical or mental therapist. I can only offer amateur help and guidance.

If they're financially independent they don't need us right?

I don't know. I am 57 and started dating again after I finished raising my son this past spring. His dad died. Dating is about the same it always was it seems, except for the fact that I am much more particular. Not about looks or money, but about character. I don't like any of the hook up stuff so not interested in doing fwb or cougaring but each to his own. I have dated some absolutely wonderful intelligent men my age. I have a very fulfilling life though and just have not met anyone I am willing to take a chance at "upsetting the applecart" for. I do not believe the narrative we are fed is accurate. There may be more women than men at this age but out of those women a substaincial number have no interest in dating or a commitment to a man. My wealthy attractive family member in his 70s had a heck of a time finding a compatible woman his age who wanted to marry again. Perhaps this is due to past experience but also due to not wanting to be a nursemaid, men usually die first.

There's no reason to be remarried after 50 if each have their lives together.

They want nookie!! Every guy alive is built by nature to do so. Women need to be patient and look for a spark & a gentleman.

I'm over 50 have been through the dating marriage kids divorce. I want someone who is older than me. Has the ability to totally be honest with themselves. Is very understanding of the things I need them to be with me. Isn't afraid to show they know what there doing. Can be very patient caring of the things that have happened in my life. I want a woman who is very open about her past. Isn't clingy or smoothing. Isn't afraid to show her man she cares about what he likes. In return i will be there to do the same.

Many, many times I'm getting ready to do something solo and a 35-45 woman in our group indicates she wants to go.

Chicks are mostly all the same. The regard "putting out" as some great gift they are bestowing upon you, the mere mortal and lowly male. Talk about overvaluing their "precious" vaginas. I truly don't understand why they all think they're so great.

Most men &/or women don't want someone with any kind of disability, even if they keep themselves in shape! I personally feel that this is ridiculous, because they may be very interesting and have a positive outlook and are self supporting! This drives me nuts to hear especially if they are a widow or widower!

Wow, I don't see women this good looking over fifty in my city. Sadly most are out of shape. I stay in shape so that's one of the things I look for in a woman.

It isn't all women over 50. Try going to most anywhere in Europe. Preferably mid sized cities in the rural countryside. I haven't dated a US woman since the 90s. The difference in attitude, culture and expectations is astonishing. By the 30s women not in a happy, long term relationship are starting to become bitter and are carrying way too much baggage to let a man in. I had several women as friends and before I left the US for good we would go out several times/month. Dinners, movies, concerts and I'd watch them go through relationship after relationship thinking each one was "the one" becoming a little more angry at men with each failure.

For some reason, this video has attracted a lot of jaded men, who have used this platform as a way to vent and project, and that is unfortunate. It's easy to leave ugly comments when you can hide your identity. (Not like on Facebook, for example, where you identity is disclosed). We shot this video almost 4 years ago. All of us are in new loving, happy relationships with men our age - and none of them were looking for twenty-year-olds! We simply have not encountered some of the extreme views expressed on this blog, and we all give men a LOT more credit than that. I've let the comments stand, because I'm finding this to be an interesting "social experiment". That being said, I don't want women to believe that all men are like this ... not by any stretch of the imagination. I say that from living in the real world, not in fantasy land where you can adopt a persona and spout off without any consequences. :-)

Feminism or not, who cares about feminism. Women have been living their lives, doing whatever they do. I am so glad women have more options than just being Mrs. Nobody in life. If being married, having kids or not doing either of those is what works for a person, that is what matters. Having options is what matters.. I get so sick of you men talking about how women hit some kind of wall at a certain age. You know what guys. You are only one aspect of life. There is so much more to life than pandering to some asshole man and that is what so many of you men sound like. Women can earn their own money, have their own lives and if we want to have a man in our lives we will have one, and if we do not want to be bothered with you we will not bother. Time marches on for everyone, everyone even you men get older and then you get just plain old too. So knock off the SMV crap because it all applies to you as well. You know those women that are 10 to 20 years younger than you are? They will only be there as long as your monery lasts and as soon as your money is gone, so will those women be gone. They never really loved you, they only wanted your money.

Your comment might be true but your assumptions are not necessarily correct in all instances. U am not in the least bit bitter and I know a lot of wonderful and accomplished women. Personally, I find the advantages of being in a relationship outweighed by the disadvantages. This is in no way a reflection on the quality of women out there which is often quite high. I am not saying that for many people over fifty that relationships are necessarily a negative for obviously they are a net positive for many people. My experience is that most people do not even begin to do a rational analysis of both the costs and benefits of a relationship.By the way, as with most successful trial lawyers, I suspect that I am in the alpha male category. On a different note, the changes in family law in many jurisdictions certainly have created so serious impediments to relationships for any one, both men and women, who are financially successful.

I see many sarcastic so called men on here who didn't understand her post because they're either stupid or didn't want to admit the truth, many men are dogs. Yep, you heard me, dogs. I believe she was using the slang "pussy" to drive home a point. That is how many guys think and talk about sex. Many guys, and not only the good looking ones once you start asking questions and putting 2+2 together lie by omission and don't want a relationship. They want sex. Period. They usually have some lame story about their wife not being sexual enough or understanding enough and she was not enough, ugh. They may spoil (their words- usually a nice dinner out or buy her something) a woman once in awhile but there is always a trade off of some sort. Both sexes are the same. Women only have their looks, personality, sexuality, and social status to offer, just like a man but I do believe the woman is the one who goes through pregnancy which is a very big deal and rearing the children often in addition to working a full time job and taking care of the household. So if they are about 40lbs overweight it is no surprise since most were on birth control to give their man exciting, worry free sex during the marriage. Do any one of you know anything about hormones or birth control? Yep, just as I thought, zippo, nada, ZERO. I've met a few men who help with children and household chores, many do not. If a single guy has his children part or full-time, they make it all about the kids and date for side companionship and sex and let the woman wait and wait through raising them. I know one woman who had to wait until he put his kids through college, as if that was some impediment to having a marriage. She looked like hell by the time they did marry, although I give that guy credit for following through, many won't. It is not children men and women couple for when younger, it's a sexual partner that provides acceptable community behavior in order to create the American Dream together, and pooling resources and marrying provides a better chance of achieving it. Then along come the children it's ingrained societal behavior. All of you boys (not men) saying the bloom is off the rose and such stuff, ditto, and saying that just proves you are dogs. In fact, that gives dogs a bad name, poor pups. Ha! Give it a few years and Lipitor will make sure you never get it up. All I can say is everything is a trade off and most men are not very mature minded when it comes to relationships. I would just live alone and if he comes around, nice. If not, have good sex and see a movie once in awhile and count your blessings you don't have to put up with the mentality I've seen here. Another thought is don't try to date a guy over 45 who has never been married, they aren't worth the effort. If you have younger men ask to date you always ask why they like older women. You will then know if you really want to proceed.

at 5:24 The guy says a phrase that is so false. Guys are not simple. Guys WOULD be simple if they told the truth, felt more secure so they didn't constantly lie , also, guys would be simple if everything with them was not about sex. Sex clouds the issues. If guys were thinking more with the head on their shoulders, they would be more simple.

Yeah, thanks for the understanding. It's funny. Men are required to be sensitive, caring, sympathetic and walk on egg shells for the sensibilities of the ladies, or be drawn and quartered by the female collective whenever we fail. At the same time we are faulted for having 20x the amount of testosterone flowing through our veins 24-7 and wanting to fuck everything the moves well into our 60s. Women are utterly incapable of understanding that. You could be the most lustful woman on the planet and still be at least 20 times less sex crazed than the average male. And yet we guys still fall over ourselves just to provide protection, resources and earn female favor and approval for the reward of sex. I agree it is really pathetic. Not because we are men or because evolution made us this way. But because the prize is so often not even worth the risk, effort and cost. Understanding sex should be reciprocal.

If after fifty you don't clearly know what you want, you've missed the flight.

Kunz Klingsor I think that’s where you are wrong - we awake after 50!! And finally see what we want and what we don’t want! And finally have the confidence to go for it! Thanks for your comment!!

Kunz Klingsor ''over fifty you missed the flight anyway.''

Silke - gotta ask you this question... prior to seeing you interacting along with your two friends and Jim Fent, I had only seen you in your more narrative role during, say, your discussions with Paige, etc. In that hosting and narrative capacity, you seemed more authoritative and clinical in your discussion style (and that is perfectly fine, BTW #1). But, in the discussion with Jim, you seemed much more vulnerable and approachable. You seemed more willing to talk about what you've personally experienced or feared or found solace in or confirmed fears through. Almost want to say that it was a warmer and friendlier side of you (very cool, BTW #2). So, I'm curious if anyone else has mentioned something similar about when your switch is "ON" versus when it is "OFF," so to speak?

Hi Dave, and what an interesting question/observation. I started 2nd Act with a bit of a different vision than where we are now. I first envisioned it to be a "reality talk show" that was shot on location, and inviting for intimate and personal conversations about dealing with life after 50. (I actually had a TV Treatment for a cable show). So short of being picked up by a network, we could not maintain that production style. I got excited about producing 2nd Act via Skype, because suddenly I could include people from around the world. Plus I didn't have to depend on anyone else to keep the channel going, I can produce, write, interview and edit all by myself! I suppose that being in the "host role" brings out more of my professional side, versus my confessional spirit in the early days! :-) I try to be transparent whenever possible, and appropriate, but I also try not to just make every segment about me. I know that KZread is, first and foremost, a search engine. People are looking for answers to issues in their lives, and I do my best to associate with content expert to offer some help and perspective. Does that kind of answer your question? Thanks for asking, appreciate you watching our show!

@@2ndActTV Thank you, Silke, for your thoughtful reply; it is much appreciated. It is a testimony to your resolve to navigate through the myriad production options and find the method that best suits you (I can only imagine how daunting that may initially seem). Regardless of how you arrived at your current format, good for you for having done so. You've obviously made some smart choices along the way. And, yes, you've answered my question, too. Like many, I never imagined being single after 50 yo. And, similar to some of the comments I've heard on your channel, I was initially confused and uncertain about what the new dating rules were, to what extent I should either rely upon or avoid the online services, if I could still "trust my gut instincts," etc. about jumping back into the singles world. Throw into that mix the ugly (but unavoidable) and ubiquitous reality of STDs and, well... I seriously considered the conclusion of, "Thanks, but no thanks." BTW, I eventually DID figure out my own methods and comfort zones and they helped me to develop my dating-after-50 acumen (if, in fact, I have any, right?). :-) Anyway, that's why I find your content so helpful. Listening to your opinions and those of your guests further open my eyes, give me something else to consider, explain something I previously overlooked and so on. Some of my Ah-ha! moments have been subtle. Other occasions have been more profound. All of them, though, have been welcomed. So, keep up the great work, my erudite friend. Your content is probably helping a lot more people than perhaps even you realize. Nicely done!

It is the case that men do want honesty, compatibility, and partnership but it is too hard to find.
