Are You Over 50 Years Of Age & Still Looking For Love Or Companionship?

* Are you over 50 years of age and at PEACE with yourself?

* Are you still trying to accumulate the basics for the home. No skills or education, still trying to find companionship or love, and is depressed because of these factors?

Many of us over fifty Gay & Bisexual men, or some time thereafter have to come to terms with these issues. They say life begins at forty, but I never accepted or subscribed to that assumption! So many of us men and women over fifty are still trying to make ends meet financially. Still trying to get the basic essentials in the home for comfort or convenience. And still have not been able to make any true friendships, find love, or companionship.

This is a period in every one's life when you are expected to become mellow or matured enough to accept all that life has thrown at you. Make amends for past animosities with people, forgive wrongs done to you, (perceived or actual), and find peace within yourself. If you are still grappling with all of the above, chances are you will not be able to achieve much at this stage in your life.

Some people feel that being over fifty is a time for abstinence from sexual activities. I say, when you are over fifty, you should at least understand what sex is all about. And be able to differentiate between a one night stand, or a trick. Expecting true love from anyone under fifty at this stage of your physical & emotional development, has to be contemplated very carefully.

The possibility of finding true love at this stage in your life is possible, but not all of us seniors will ever do at this stage. However, friendships based on sincerity, companionship, mentoring, and good buddies, is possible. But be on guard for those who feel that older men or women are to be exploited, because they are most vulnerable at this stage.

There are predators who seek out men and women at this time in their life for exploitation. Especially if they know of perceive that you are financially well grounded. As for those seniors who need personal assistance to do certain household chores, like shopping, or a personal Home Health Aide. Be very careful when you seek out these services.

Make every effort to research credentials, work history, personal credibility, and criminal history. If you use Home Health Agencies for these services, always ensure that they are certified to provide such services in your State.
Finally, maintain good health at all cost.

Exercise as often as you are physically able to, and seek advice before from your Doctor, about the risks involved before doing such exercises at your age. A personal nutritionist is a must, especially if you prepare your own meals. Some men and women look very good physically at fifty and over. If you eat well, sleep well, exercise regularly, maintain good nutrition, and does not smoke cigarettes.

Chances are, you will be around for a long time!
Om Shanti.
