Several requests have come in for more of my “results” from meeting interesting women off the internet dating sites, so here’s my continuing story. First of all, let me say this is a compilation from three sites I was using. Names have been changed to “protect the innocent”. “ConfuseThemMoniker”: A lovely lady with two names so I innocently asked which she preferred to be called or did she want to use both (like Ann Marie). Wrong approach. She was hiding her true identity (okay, protecting it would be more like it) and her real name was totally...
We’ve been talking about a fairly serious subject with seniors trying to realign their lives by using the Internet and dating websites. Time to take a look at the lighter side of things, for example what people write about themselves in an effort to lure the opposite sex into reading about them and then writing or at least sending what SeniorsInSearch calls a “flirt”. This is basically a way to send your contact info to someone you think might want to look at your profile. Meanwhile, let’s look at theirs. First of all, they can specify if they...
It has been said to me on more than one occasion that Tehachipites (or Tehachipians, depending on some criteria unfathomable to me) are either totally into computers, email and the internet or they are totally devoid of interest or knowledge in this modern contrivance.

Midst the stories of couples that are celebrating their umpteenth anniversary there are scenarios of those who have loved and lost through divorce and other equally unhappy circumstances. I know. I speak for the latter group. Blame my daughter. She encouraged me to go online, seek out a suitable partner and as she put it, “For crying out loud, cut ten years off your age – they all do it, and you don’t look that old!” Now, I’ve done this online dating before and it was entertaining if nothing else and I’ve met some nice people but the playing...
Some of us rely on the internet and its tools for daily reminders and research. Some of us can’t think of life without our computers and the internet, but many seniors use a combination of life experiences and logic coupled with this new resource. I like to think that includes me. My advice is to augment the knowledge you’ve accumulated over the years (you’re HOW many fingers old?) and begin by going to something that sources everything, like GOOGLE. Picture being in high school and having at your fingertips every library in the world – that’s...
