It's all about balance really
 
Way i see it is that looking for something like love so often doesn't work as you end up trying to force something that's not there. Do things that interest you and chances are you'll bump into someone with similar interests. That's how it has worked for me. I never dated, used tinder, anything like that, just ran into people i clicked with and went from there.

That said there is no one way to meet someone, do whatever works for you as any medium can work perfectly.
 
Mebby yes my love for footy and tennis doesn't go down too well plus I like doing alternative things like fringe plays, alternative movies. I love a lot of local music which most males go yuk. Plus I love just hanging out the beach. What else I love going out to eat. I'm not really into staying home and bbqs.

I get what Bluebelle is saying about missing some guys radar. When I go out with friends and they are talking I am interested in what they are saying and not really looking around for anyone. Friends have told me off on several occasions. I am pretty good fun, love to dance and not overly talkative except when I am drinking cider or rose (but not together).

And I am selling myself yet.

What sort of things do you enjoy doing?

I must admit, when I was dating a few years ago a lot of men found it a turn-off that I enjoy sport so much. They were more than happy to go to the footy/rugby/cricket/tennis themselves, but didn't want me to have such a passion for it. Needless to say, those fellas didn't last very long.

I've got the right balance in my relationship now, because we can enjoy sport either together or separately and we'll be happy either way...and while I love musical theatre, the opera and ballet, he doesn't...so luckily I've got a girlfriend who is always willing to come along with me!

I don't mind going to some shows, just not as many as you do. And as you said, you have Holzy to go out with and play ladies.
I've never understood why some men would see it as a turnoff that you love sport so much. As I said to you months ago, that is a massive tick for me.

Yes but we're kindred spirits so that's besides the point :P

I think some men think that it's unfeminine for a woman to enjoy sport so much, it's something that they want to do with 'the boys' and not with their girlfriend. Each to their own.
 
Done on-line dating and I have just recently changed my photo and blurb. I am going to take it more seriously this year although I say that every year.

Also another thing at 50 most males would like you to have your own house and not be renting as they see that you are after something. When I was doing speed dating and I would get asked if I had kids and I would say no they would look at me funny.
 
Sport is also a big plus for me. I still go to the cricket and soccer etc with the boys, but also go to plenty of footy, cricket etc with the missus as well. Perfect balance to be able to spend time together as well as not needing to live in each others pockets all the time.

I couldn't think about anything worse than to have a nagging missus who is forever telling me to turn the sport off the tv so we can bond watching masterchef and bondi vet.

Even though I have a lot of friends I might try another group called Meet Up which is not technically a dating group but you never know.

I'm thinking the exact same thing - but more to expand the friends circle in Perth. Been away too long and need to get me more friends and a find a few different ways of socializing.

PM me if you want to hit one up together mate.

Can't really understand the whole guys not into women who are into sport thing.
When I was an athlete, I'd always enjoy a woman who was interested in my sport or any sport for that matter.

Even now, it's a great thing to share together(even if she's a Hawks supporter).
