When i see loner i think someone who thinks for themselves. I see women online on dating sites who cannot even be alone on their profile. They seem to believe they are more attractive surrounded by people. It's a marketing thing. I know one who brings the kitchen sink on dates.

In my opinion people who cannot be alone are afraid to face themselves and run away to all sorts of groups to hide. I would love to meet an individual who can think for themselves

There must be dating for eldetly OP if dating is your goal. I have seen elderly on dating sites. I know you don't want online dating but there must be other ways. A magazine for the elderly often have lonely heart adverts. There is one in Ireland called ireland's own which had such ads
