wondered if anyone had any experience of solos/ singles holidays
not club 18/30 but for the older traveller
my brother in law (57) has just booked a week in Tuscany with a firm called Just You holidays
5 men 25 women all between 40 & 80
a coach trip of Zimmer frames?
or will he get lucky?

Anyone else noticed a sudden upsurge in interest from the apps?
This last week I'm getting a lot more matches and a lot more interest. Not changed anything on the profile, haven't had any "swipe binges" for a while, and tbh not that bothered in pursuing anything currently. Also a lot of the ladies don't seem able to answer a question and then ask a question in return to help keep the conversation going. Or in the case of several ask basic questions that are already on my profile (What do you do for a job?)
Which just kills any motivation to bother even more!
But it's like all the single ladies (all the single ladies
) synchronised to get back on it.
I was perplexed until a married friend remarked that his wife had already bought his Christmas present. We decided the timing would explain it. They don't want to be that single girl at Christmas.
Also Facebook just notified me with a "Friend suggestion" that was the last girl I dated! Nah, you're alright!

Pretty sure an upsurge this time of year is a documented phenomenon.
Darker evenings, colder, worse weather.
The female of the species who have been spending their summer evenings in beer gardens and out for walks, are now looking for someone to curl up in front of the fire or Tv with.
A bit like spiders, but less predictable

I’ve been on a few (skiing though) with a group like this. I never know who is going, quantity, gender, age etc… it would be great if it was known beforehand, but there’s a reason why they don’t tell you that - you probably wouldn’t go otherwise…not club 18/30 but for the older traveller

I accept that it’s a skiing holiday, and not a “chasing skirt” holiday. There are usually more men than women on these trips. Skiing = “a mile of dick for every chick…” There is usually 1 woman who is “better” than the others. But on skiing holidays, all the women seem to be obsessed about the ski instructors.
Will your brother in law get lucky? If there is someone suitable, his standards aren’t too high, and he wants too – yes.

Oh how true. Got two suddenly texting me after many weeks of silence. Both were IRL dates not online. Played it cool by not texting back for a day and then texted saying only really interested in IRL since not a fan of constant texting. Lets see what happens!Darker evenings, colder, worse weather.

It reads your phonebook if you've got the mobile app.
Oh I know. And when we were seeing each other (briefly) it suggested her. (Though we never did add each other on FB) But I didn't think it would re-suggest 4 months later! I did wonder if, if it also suggested me to her. Or whether she'd been FB stalking and it suggested based off that.
I suppose I could delete her number from my phone, but it's not the end of the world or anything.

Yes, even I've been getting some likes on Tinder! All still 5 to 15 years older than me (I'm 40), and look older than their (declared) age though. If they seemed like they were just up for a casual poking then I might be tempted (out of desperation), but they all say they're looking for their soul mate etc. Or maybe they just lie and say that so they don't look like a slapper? I may not be good looking myself, but I do look younger than my age. I'd feel pretty self conscious out in public with these older 'ladies' - like I was out with my mother or something.Interestingly, I was talking to a female friend the other day (also 40), and she said all her matches on Tinder are with younger blokes - late 20's to mid 30's. Which leaves me thinking that maybe it's just that women on dating apps are all looking for younger men, perhaps sub consciously?
