There are women's softball leagues, women's pickleball leagues, women's tennis and volleyball groups. In addition, there are mixed groups for all of these activities.

If you're not an athlete, there are women's and mixed groups for almost every activity you can think of. If you can't find one, start one. I did.

The idea that men come here and have all the fun while women meet and play mah-jongg is ludicrous. There are mah-jongg clubs here, but there are as many options for women as there are men.
It may be sexist but it's very honest. Sorry but more men golf than women.

I met one woman yesterday in Publix that we got to chatting while standing on line and she said can't wait till he croaks to get out of here. Yes that's very harsh and if she really feels that way she should just get divorced.


Went to another club meeting yesterday morning and a woman I had never met told me that she's thinking about the future after her husband passes and knows that she will not stay here.

This is not the land of sunshine and lollipops. A lot of people are miserable having left their past. Many are just stuck here at least for now. It is a fact of life.
