The following is an interview with Susan, the heroine of the Sex and the Sixty (Year Old) series. Contrary to the title of the post, Susan is not the actual oldest living single. She has just had a lot of dates. In fact, if you could stretch out all of her dates end-to-end, they would […]
But first, please check out The Byronic Man. Joel, the author, took time from his busy schedule of hilarity to feature Life in the Boomer Lane in his “20 Questions” series. If you like her answers to his questions, let her know. If not, she’ll change them for you. ***** In the countries with the longest life expectancies, […]
Back in 1999, a year that occurred in the last century, back before youtube, the iPod, and the no-contact jacket, my friend Susan and I decided to start a speed dating company. We did this because: 1. We had no experience of starting a business of any kind 2. We had no experience of speed […]
My friend Susan is back, after a short hiatus from the world of online dating (“I am NEVER going to do this again, and you can’t make me”). I had my work cut out for me. I gave her a lot of reasons why she should jump back in (“You are a fabulous woman and you […]
An overwhelming number of people who choose to enter the dating world after age 50 have already lived at least 50 years. And, if they are like most people over 50 (and many people under,) some of their early choices in life, while not resulting in life in a maximum security prison, may have still […]
As Sitting Bull said, after the Battle of the Little Bighorn, “There are two sides to every story.” And, because I would heartily agree, I hereby present a rebuttal from Movie Man. Movie Man, aka Mike, is actually a Good Guy and he has become a good friend of Susan’s, in spite of their first date. When […]
I’ve had a lot of fun writing about Susan this week. Many of you, consisting of one person, asked if Susan was real. I have actually asked her that same question on several occasions, and she has always considered thoughtfully and then told me to shut up. Susan and I have been friends since 1998. […]
When my friend Susan goes on actual dates, she does exactly the same things that most people do. She goes out to dinner. She goes to the movies. She goes to female impersonator shows. But somehow, the end result always seems to veer off course. Sometimes, she and the guy never even make it to […]
When Susan arranges her first meetings with men, she has to make sure she meets the right person. This is because she has, on at least one occasion, had an entire conversation with the wrong person in a public place. His wife, when she arrived, was not amused. Susan’s way of making sure that this […]
For those of you who believe my friend Susan hasn’t given online dating enough of a chance, rest assured she has been doing this since the original site, cavematch.com. Thus far, she has only excluded the sites that would result in the FBI confiscating her computer. After she is contacted by men, and, after she […]
