So am I not a man, or am I a loose wristed indeterminate in your estwhile opinion, because I don't see sex as a priority?

Also I think it strange that if we were discussing a young woman who'd dated that many men, she'd have been regarded as a right floosy!
If I did look for a date I'd want someone who was honest enough to say they're balding, plump etc. not one who tries to impress or look younger.
I'll hopefully come across someone normal eventually.
TessA, l have found lots that are suitable but it's me that is the problem! I can't commit! I have got used to living on my own and doing my own thing that l am frightened of commitment. I have had about four relationships but l soon get bored.
My other worry is, if l married or lived with them and we broke up, l could lose my house.
I like it the way it is, meeting and going on dates.

Actually Barry men, with attitudes like yours, are the ones that have more appeal to women . If somebody is only interested in sex he may be better accommodated at a local brothel.

What a very narrow, blinkered and harsh way you have of looking at life Tarantula. So anyone who does dating sites or similar is desperate eh!? I don't think so.
Perhaps just a bit lonely and wants to go out and smell the coffee and the roses and start a new life. Following my divorce some 25 years ago I started to go to a similar club in Northampton called Making Friends. In time I met the most wonderful Woman and we have now been very happily Married for over 20 years. Without going to that club I would not have met her, and I just may have spent my life turning into a miserable old bat.
Speaking of which.
Your forum name does suit you!

In the scenario of the original post I would certainly use a dating site.
Mind you Tarantula. I would start by trying to date one or two of the lovely Ladies here in this forum I already have my eyes on!

But if you're after spending an hour or so over a drink or meal just chatting and relaxing as opposed to spending that time alone, then you might just decide you like them enough to see them again. Or not.
I think a great deal depends on your temperament and your sense of adventure.
