I've decided that Eharmony is kind of a joke. I signed up for a year. Ha!! What a waste of money. Men don't even respond to an ice breaker. Nothing like making you feel like you are worthless. How shallow the men can be. I guess I wouldn't want any of them anyway if they are that shallow. So I guess I'll just stay off of it and go about my business as usual and do the things I like to do and not worry about finding someone to care about. I've had the love of my life and unfortunately he died. So at least I know love and caring and respect. More than I can see from the profiles most of the men think they are such hunks that they think women will fall all over them....

Just be yourself. Someone who likes you for who you are will come along.

My grandmother (who was quite a bit older than you) remarried twice after husbands died. Each time within 2 years. You can find someone to spend time with or marry. She was, and still is, a very active 'old broad'.

No reasonable man would expect you to look like a 30-year old. And why would you bother with someone who is not even reasonable enough to understand that?

Take care of yourself and your health. If you feel you need to lose weight, please go ahead and do so, slowly and in a healthy manner (no ridiculous crash diets or 10 hours of exercise per day). Make sure you consult your doctor - he or she will be able to suggest the best approach for you, taking into account your medical history and your current health condition.

But I do not advocate the approach of not dating until you lose the desired amount of weight. Go out and enjoy the male company, you may meet the right guy sooner than you think. And it may even be beneficial to both of you, if you share some healthy meals and walks together.

Be prepared that some men will reject you - we can't be right for everyone on this planet. Just enjoy yourself and have some great time with some lovely men until you find the right one.

Keep the hope alive, and Good Luck!

That was very sweet and kind of you, Jayjay!
There is a strangely pleasant kind of frisson around planet eHA in general today...

I'm going to have to agree with the other posters on the weight issue.

Plus, you need to feel attractive before you can be attractive.

I've been a widow for 9 years and I haven't dated. I'm overweight and I just joined eHarmony and I don't even know if there's a chance for me to even find someone to do things with. I'm not looking for marriage or to live with anyone. I would like to do more social things. But, I think that men aren't even going to be interested in me because I'm not a babe...Any advice? I know I need to lose weight. That's a given, but no matter what I'm not going to be a 30 year old again.
One really great way to just hang out with new people is Meetup. If you get in a good group that is active there are always things to do. I'm in one that has at least one thing planned every week/weekend. The people in mine are a lot of fun. I would definitely check that out also.

From one Old Broad to another: It can happen. Just keep yourself active in the community, take yourself on little adventures (even if it's just shopping in a different store or going on a day trip to the nearest tourist trap), and be open to life. A vibrant, smiling person will always be interesting and attractive, no matter the age or weight.

Best of luck. If I found a wonderful man, anyone can.

My example is my great grandmother, you should see her pictures, she can really scare a person. But despite all that she became a widow for the first time in her 50's. After that she married twice and had number four in her sights when she died. What a way to go. There are stories of her son in laws going out and finding her parked in lover's lane. That is a example for all of us.
