Meeting women my own age/interests

[missjean]

I hear you, I have the same problems meeting other women close to my age and interests. It doesn't help being shy in person, though that might sound odd coming from me. It is hard for me to break out of my routine and get out there to meet new people. What has been interesting to me is recently I've been meeting younger women (30s) with similar interests with whom I seem to be making better friendship connections than women closer to my age. These women have children and are not single, but their interests are closer to mine than most of the 50ish year old women I know.

This issue is something that has been on my mind lately, and it is good to see that I am not the only one who is having this problem. I've even thought about starting a Meet Up group for active woman over 45, but I just don't have the time.

I haven't paid much attention to my friends' ages relative to mine in a long time. I have only a handful of friends who are also in their early 40s. The rest of my friends are in their 50s and 60s. And my husband is in his early 30s. Age matters less to me that compatibility.
