As a single male in his late sixties I spent a month in The Villages about a year and a half ago. A couple of the wonderful single ladies who post on this forum welcomed me and throughout the month assisted me in getting out and meeting other singles. I also attended meetings of two of the singles clubs. The singles I met of both sexes were quite happy and active. I was very surprised to find there are a large number of singles in TV. Check out the photos on the singles club websites.

On my own I met some couples, too. Just go into a restaurant. Sit down and when the waitress comes to take you order slightly loudly announce to her you are new to TV. Within minutes you will meet at least two couples from nearby tables and enjoy some pleasant conversation with them. You see, practically everyone is from somewhere else and wants to make new friends just as you do. Remarkably, I found the couples I met really did not care whether I was single or married, something I have never experienced elsewhere. Although at present I am tied down by a child's health issue I am still seriously considering becoming a frog.

As far as the ratio of women to men goes I can not say what it might be. Although I rarely disagree with Cha x 3 on anything 10:1 seems over the top to me. By the way, a significant number of the singles I met were in some sort of dating relationship and/or had dance and activity partners. Marriages do occur in TV.
