Something is amiss for the first time in my life when I have achieved almost everything I aspired to. I am aged 68, I have been retired for 13 years, and live a comfortable life, except that I don't have a companion; I am not getting any sex. And the pool is shrinking for an active, horny senior. So, I went online looking for love, companionship, or sex. I'm handsome, or I used to be. I'm smart. I dress well. I'm cool. Funny. Active. I still got game. But online candidates see my age and go, "Ca-ching!" They demand money. End of my love story, back to my search for love or companionship.
Of the more than a dozen candidates I connected with online, only one seemed sincerely interested in me. She was 21, mature beyond her years, but young enough to be my great-granddaughter, and still living at home with her parents! Should I have pursued her for her sincerity, or should we have remained lonely due to our age difference? And, if I engaged her, will she become my mate, or will she become just another catfish, like so many other online candidates?
