The author of "Leisureville", Andrew Blechman, who was in his late thirties at the time, was questioned while he was swimming at a pool in The Villages. The "civilian" woman Villager who questioned him had even checked out the plates on his rental car which were local. She thought he was a local slipping in for a dip in "her" pool. According to what he wrote she and he were the only people at the pool at the time.

Trophy wives living in 55 and over retirement communities are not particularly welcomed, either, from what I read and from what a friend's trophy wife (who lives in another 55 and over community) tells me. She gets repeatedly questioned and carded at that community's pools and receives dirty looks and nasty comments from some of the women - around the community, not just at the pools.
