And heaven forbid they meet someone over seventy.

Some folks really like us older birds.

Oh well.............jewels before swine...........sigh.

As I heard it from my grandmother it was "casting pearls before swine" but no matter. When I read between the lines their post suggests they may be seeking encounters of the more intimate sort with other couples. Otherwise, as we all know, meeting people in TV is the least of our problems.

So incredibly easy to just “naturally” meet people of like-interests in The Villages - I have more friends at this stage of my life than ever before. The Villages is truly a “magical” place. Get out there are enjoy everything our wonderful community has to offer!

Michael,Are you the guy that had trouble meeting people when you first moved in and had Jerry and Linda help you meet people?

Please send me a private message to coordinate a time to introduce ourselves.

My wife is visiting her mother out of town but I am going to give her a call and let her know that we are young again! Been quite a while since anyone thought of us that way, including ourselves. Heck, I might go for a 5 mile run later! 😁

Yep, that’s me!

Didn’t take long to meet so many great, happy, positive friends here in The Villages - once I started joining clubs, becoming a regular at the Show Kitchen, attending events, getting involved in pickleball, shuffleboard, bowling, water volleyball, etc, it all became very easy to meet friends. I even started my own “sanctioned” social club at one of the rec centers.

Your AED organizers should start a social club in Richmond....under the header ‘how to win friends and influence people’! ( Sorry, inside joke! ) ;)

Whoops! We all understood it without reading between the lines. Maybe that's why we haven't heard back. :shocked:

Yep, me too. My antennae are not tuned in that direction I guess.

I am at the wrong end of my 80s, and avoid old people like the plague.
Can't stand having to listen, in great detail, to oldie's latest medical procedure, or diagnosis, and general woes.
Youngsters every time is my motto!

Not only that, a handle saying "Lovin the villages" which is really contradictory. .

We got a private message like this from someone, not to say it was this poster, but with the solicitous nature of the post, was suspect of manipulation and scoping out of target for a nefarious activity.

The private message said something like, "you are smart, we like to associate with very smart people, would you like to set up an in home dinner date?"

the sense of special, narcissistic approach, etc which is basically anti TV type of behavior. ..

Also had another poster with PMs start to ask too many questions about rentals, ie, questions that seemed to search a bit too informative for an anonymous bbs. . . and appearing a bit too dumb

remember, anyone world wide can join this bbs. .
