I am 55 years old and after three marriages, am living on my own, in my own little slice of heaven I call home. I have been on my own for 6 years now, the first three were hard, feeling I needed to continue the relationship game (move on to someone else) when the past couple of years I realized, that it’s nice to date, but having a man around full time is not the answer to happiness. I’m healthy, attractive, date younger men, ride a Harley and the thought of falling back into 24/7 relationship is scary, I’ve spent most of my adult life married, I’m just starting to enjoy everything about my life. Yes it’s a couples world, but have lots of friends, and family around, I don’t feel alone, to me lonely is when you have NO ONE in your life. I’m tired of people feeling that I need to have a man in my life, I felt that way at first but don’t think about it any more. Being with a man is not going to take me to a happy ‘zen’ place. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the company of men, just not all the time, I like my freedom and space.
Happy with my life : )

I am just thrilled to stumble on this site today and see there is something addressing women our age other than More magazine (which I love).

Pattie,this is a wonderful site.  All kinds of helpful information.  Really glad to have found it. I can’t think of anything that isn’t here.  I love animals and there are links for them too. Thanks!

I got myself into ahpe, now I need to learn how to dress for my age (55).  Living in S Fl I need light weight but do not like to show my upper arms.  That is tough down here. 

Also, make up for my aging face….

How about a spotlight on personal make overs?

Hi Pattie, I just noticed your web site today. I just turned 56 this Spring. It’s so nice to talk to other women in their 50s. Looking forward to more of your blogs. Thankyou
