I was married for 30 years, divorced for 1 1/2. I have tried for most of that time to date, and I'm not having a lot of luck. Please look at my site and inform me what is wrong.

Hi, I did look at your profile. You have a nice picture and look like a nice person. The only thing I can see that would be a turn off for me and a lot of other women might be the part that you are a smoker. I was a smoker for 39 years so I do know how addicting they can be, but now days there are more non-smokers then smokers and when a person smokes they really have no idea how offensive it is to someone who doesn't. I didn't realize until I kicked the habit 7 years ago.

Glad you took my advise Richard and came to the 50+. Not all women are turned off by you being a smoker. There are some of us out there that still smoke. If you are a smoker might as well tell the truth. That is how I feel about it.
If you are worried about your profile there is a section on profile help and emt from our group is real good at helping with profiles.
Hang in there,
PK

Hi Richard, yeppers we are all in the same boat----but i think we get in too much of a hurry.
I've been praying for a partner in life for about 2 years--if he doesn't hurry--i'll be 90--lmao.
God bless one and all---Pat.

I was told that a guy has a lot better chance of a relationship working out if he has been divorced/widowed for at least 2 years.
I don't know what the odds are for women.

Rich,, As many women have said ,we are in the the same boat.. But some of us men seem to have to paddle a little harder. .
As far as your prfile, not that you would want or need a man view..
But, I think its pretty darn good. The only thing I would do , maybe take out the neg. stuff. The rest is upbeat and thats what most are looking for..
Later, Blu

Hey Richard, I too am a smoker and I know that it may cause some to back away. Thats fine. I do respect the non-smo kers and I'm careful around them. The truth is that we all will probably meet someone through a friend we already know, but its nice to meet new friends here as well.

maybe you could take off the having been married for 30 years not that it really matters but then again maybe it does matter to some, plus after a 30 year marriage I would think you are not ready for a serious relationship just yet but that is my personal thought.

Welcome Richard!
I agree with Shell about mentioning how long you were married and/or have been divorced in a profile which can be a huge turn-off for many women including myself. That information can be discussed later and in private when you are corresponding with a gal. I don't care to hear about your past in a public profile and would rather read more about you. Plus, it gives me the impression you are still "clinging" to that part of your life and do not want to move forward of which I would not want to get involved with. We women want to know about your likes and dislikes, dreams and aspirations, what you appreciate in a woman, and shoe size....
