    Start your own monthly singles meetup or dance with other singles. This is meant to be a guide to "helping you help yourself."
    Don't wait your whole life for something to happen to you; take matters into your own hands.

    Go to the local newspaper, the one in your town or the one in the next largest city. Talk to the editor and tell him you'd like to organize an inaugural meeting of a singles meetup. He'll want to publish a date for a coffee date. If there are two, three, or four of you after the meeting, organize regular weekend meetups. Then you'll be among like-minded people.

    Another idea, which is quite unconventional but might spark your imagination, is to find your future wife abroad, marry her, and thereby obtain a residency permit for her in your country. There are many countries that are desperately poor, and some women would gladly leave to find a better life.

    P.S.: The human population is almost evenly split into 50% women and 50% men.
    Warning! In our country, some men are invited on dates by criminals and then robbed.

    I'd like to add to that, that there is also love at 10th sight: Having another person in your life you feel so comfortable around that someday both ask themselves the question, why aren't we actually a couple?

    It's not as intense as the falling in love head over heels at first sight but usually more stable and less crazy.

    I once saw a guy shagging a sheep.
    Naively I asked "Are you shearing it"?
    "No" he replied "You'll have to get your own".

    Another tip is take the sheep to the edge of a cliff because they push back harder.

    Theres a large group of over 50's women on dating apps who now focus on friends first and 'taking it slow'. I think they have unreal expectations that they should really explore with their close friends, not on a DATING app.

    Thing is, for me and other men (and women) we don't want just a friend - passion and romance are still very important. We cant spend months seeing if it MIGHT become a physical relationship. In my case, both my long relationships ended because we just became sexless best friends. If that was enough for both of us we could have just stayed together. DATING is about romance that should be apparent right from the start, and if we start as friends most of the time we'll stay just friends. You cant manufacture chemistry.

    The supposedly oldest profession in the world is prostitution (the modern term is sex worker).

    Cheers, ill be exploring local social situations/hobby meets in spring.

    Regarding long distance...no, I want LOVE not a business deal. Chemistry and love can only be clear in person, and i wont invest time in something unless we both feel the same way. Don't get me wrong, I love foreign women much more than UK women, my ex was Serbian, before that I had intense things with an Australian, Iranian, German and Brazilian who lived in the UK. But we were together because we liked and fancied each other, no one needed citizenship (the wonderful pre brexit days).

    We get a ton of romance scammers on the apps in UK now.
