If you worked up the motivation to date after fifty this book will surely discourage you. I found it to be out of touch and the advice to be misogynistic e.g. lose weight, consider plastic surgery. All in all I'd save the money and buy a book written with respect for the reader.

5 out of 5 stars Great information.......2004-08-27

Here's a great book for our generation (over 50). The print is large enough to read and I didn't have to wade through a lot of information that didn't apply. The authors have included a wealth of medical information - needed for those of us whose bodies aren't young, agile and consistently performing at peak. Most of all, I appreciated the focus on the soul of sex as well as the body issues. Great job and well worth reading!

Book Description

Finding romance at a later stage in life can be incredibly elusive. When a single woman over fifty, who bring many years of experience in living with her, ventures out to seek a companion for pleasurable years ahead, she faces a changed and unfamiliar social world. In fact, as there are fewer available unattached men to be found as she ages, it becomes more and more difficult knowing how and where to meet them.

As much as we hate to admit it, most women of our generation were brought up to see ourselves through the eyes of the man with whom we were connected. How do we see ourselves now? How solid is our confidence, our courage, our self-image, our self-esteem? And, dating again? Memories of those experiences faded with poodle skirts and bobby socks. Not that memories will help. It is a very new, single world with varied and different expectations - not only on our part but also on the part of the men we meet. Beginning to date again and knowing how to behave is, oftentimes, fearful, bewildering, and challenging.

FIND THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE AFTER FIFTY! focuses on the importance of renewing self-confidence while it resolves those issues important to dating and mating at this stage in our lives: how to improve on attitude and adaptability; where to meet men graciously; how to go about dating with dignity; whether sex is as important now as it was in the past; how to overcome feelings of rejection, and more. Offering true life stories, guidelines, tests, and self-help quizzes, this book will motivate, educate, and encourage a totally new and positive attitude about dating. Bottom line conclusion -- do not seek the life in the dating scene; use the dating scene to find the love of your life.

What does it take, then, to find a companion, a pal, a lover, a mate at this stage in your life? It takes acknowledging that dating is different from years past. It takes summoning courage and taking risks. It takes the right timing. It takes being adaptable. It takes being realistic, being creative, and educating yourself. It takes looking good. It takes avoiding married men! And, at the very least, it takes knowing the best places to meet men.

What a task, you might say? Not really. It's easier than you think.

Join Alice Solomon and FIND THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE AFTER FIFTY! to learn how you can bring love, romance, and companionship into your life once more.

3 out of 5 stars Interesting, Good Tips,.......2007-06-14

Alice Solomon bills herself as a Gorgeous Grandma. While not every boomer wants to consider herself a gorgeous grandma, the spirit behind the idea is great. This spirit evokes fun and adventure and is evident in the pages of this book. The book is actually a collection of essays about different aspects of dating after 50 -- everything from Internet dating to face cream, assertiveness and the peril of married men. It also has a number of good suggestions as to where to meet men, including activities to take up.

I've found in my coaching practice that many women who are dating haven't done the inner work that they need to do first. This book will help you prepare for dating in many ways, so it's worth the read. The only negatives I find about it are that it does seem a little disjointed because of the essay style and it feels like she's talking to women who are older than my age (mid-50s if you must know!).

If you have forgotten how to flirt and just starting out on the dating scene after 50, this is the book for you.

5 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK IS FOR WOMEN OF ANY AGE.......2004-05-07

(Deb Jones, Online Reviewer)
Don't let the title of the book fool you: FIND THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE AFTER 50! This book is for women of any age, and for men as well, if they'd like some insight into the female mind and heart. For the younger set, the whole idea of the book may seem silly...but life does NOT end at thirty...and women and men in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth decades of their lives have emotional and sexual needs as do their younger counterparts. Alice Solomon has written a very sensible and insightful book about a long-ignored sector of the dating population. In this book written to and for "Gorgeous Grandmas," Solomon addresses issues such as how dating and relationships differ at this life stage than in younger years. Skin care is discussed as well as the importance of good grooming, and makeup for the mid-life woman. Realistic and varied places are presented for consideration of meeting new people, as well as prompts to remain open-minded and non-judgmental when doing so. Because people who are meeting one another at this point in their lives are not looking to marry in order to raise a family, it is pointed out that readers should reflect on what lifestyle changes they are willing to make...and those that they are not. There are multiple self-help quizzes to aid the reader in her quest to make the most of this portion of her dating life. Alice Solomon writes from personal experience, as well as that of her friends and readers and listeners to both her formerly syndicated newspaper column and as a former radio show co-host The book is written in a clear and flowing style, easy-to-read and unpretentious. Reading FINDING THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE AFTER 50! is like having great conversation with a good friend.

5 out of 5 stars A no-nonsense survey of what makes dating after 50 different.......2004-03-07

Find The Love Of Your Life After 50! by Alice Solomon is an invaluable and thoroughly "user friendly" self-help guide to the singles scene for women over fifty. From the advantages of computer dating; to a no-nonsense survey of what makes dating after 50 different; to the type of man one is most compatible with; to where to meet single men who would have an interest in older women, and so much more, Find The Love Of Your Life After 50! is an excellent primer embodying both the romantic and the practical.

Book Description

Many people enjoy the best sex of their lives after 50! More passionate, more thrilling and more satisfying sex. The kind they only dreamed of before.
Sure, aging brings physical and psychological changes, but the misconceptions and inappropriate attitudes developed over the years about the natural aging process may cause more damage to a couple's sex life than anything physical.
So, while one needs to take certain steps to compensate for changes the body is undergoing, more important are the attitude adjustments that must be undergone to compensate for these physical changes.
Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer, world-famous sex therapist, guides the reader through the physical and emotional challenges of sex after 50, revving up the romance, passion and excitement as only Dr. Ruth knows how!

Hey I read this book for a class I was doing. I just happened to be doing research on this subject. This is a nice add on to a show I saw. My First Time in NYC. Together they complement each other very nicely. Enjoy!

Suddenly single in my 50's.....I went back to reading Cosmopoliton magazine thinking older men were like younger men in the sex department. Wrong.....this book help set things straight and understand the changes with sex as we grow older.

3 out of 5 stars Sex After 50? or 60?.......2006-06-24


I generally enjoyed the read. I thought that it would be better as a "Guide to Better Sex after 60," because today's 50-year-old is yesterday's 40-year-old. Dr. Ruth may be a little out of touch with the baby boomer generation--sexually. It's a little bit geriatric. Even the font was larger, which made it easier to read, was very perceptive, but who me?
Consider using it as an encyclopedia of information, everything included, but clearly not everything is pertinent to everyone. It has an amazing table of contents. Read it once and highlight sections and issues that you think are important to you. Give it to your spouse, partner or significant other to read and have them do the same, but highlight issues with different color highlighters, compare notes and see how your relationship has evolved. If you end up with a rainbow of colors, then you should go to counseling fast!
Dr. Ruth's honesty, sense of humor and folksy personality come through clearly with this easy to read and understand "therapy guide." Exercising naked with your mate and leaving the bathroom door open when you're using it? Women would not find that terribly mood enhancing--in my book. As the "caverject" caught my eye as something no man would find too appealing--even if only to be used if Viagra fails to do the trick. So, trust that we had some differences of opinions. Zero in on the honesty and being truthful, authentic, and most everything else should be fun! If you have not brought your lover to the promise land in 20, 30 or 40 years this may help, but there are no guarantees!

5 out of 5 stars A focus on how passion can be retained through the years.......2006-01-06

What happens to sexual drive after the age of 50? There may be changes, but it doesn't dry up, so read Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer's Dr. Ruth's Sex After 50: Revving Up The Romance, Passion & Excitement! to find out what physical and psychological changes actually lend to sex after 50. Sex therapist Westheimer discusses romance and passion as well as these changes, providing a focus on how passion can be retained through the years.

4 out of 5 stars Straight information in a positive vibe.......2005-07-14

Look at the cover of this book -- and while I know they tell you not to do this, you'll get a pretty good sense of what's inside. The people on the cover are not in their 40s, they're closer to 70 and they still project their joie de vivre and the ease and happiness of their physical intimacy. They obviously know how to enjoy life and each other. You look at the picture and you say, "Hey, I want that." For anybody over 50 who is frustrated by teaser magazine articles that promise to explain all and then fail to deliver any actual information, this book is a compact treasure trove of reassurance. As we extend our useful lives into 8 and 9 decades, surely it's time to demystify the secrets of keeping our sex organs as happily engaged as our hearts and minds.

    Dating seems scary, especially if you haven't dated in a long time, but it can be manageable and even fun if you remember to go at your own pace and stay in your comfort zone.

    5 out of 5 stars Good information, easy read, encouraging.......2007-07-24

    I wish I had read this book first, because it offers so much practical advice for our age group. Especially good is the review of different personal profiles with good tips for writing your own. Every step of building a relationship is addressed with straight forward suggestions to think about, from getting ready to breaking up.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for the older adults seeking love.......2007-01-18

    I simply do not understand the two previous reviews. This book is a gem for its sensible advice, its humor, its destruction of the negative myths surrounding later life love. It's full of good do's and don'ts and as far as suggesting that one keep a notebook of one's online activity, it's a great idea. I have seen friends get overwhelmed with the responses online and they needed help remembering and sorting out who sent what and what that person was like.

    Excellent advice about first dates, too---even giving scripts for ending the date if it is obvious that there is no match.

    Dr. Romm offers the valuable double perspective of someone who has been dating online herself and of a professional who is not only a psychiatrist but also sees clients who are wrestling with these issues.

    I am giving this book to some friends who are afraid to try to find a match online. They will be in good hands.

    4 out of 5 stars The dating is in the details.......2005-07-23

    You're a smart, accomplished, mature adult with a lot to offer. You're professionally competent and confident. But does the idea of launching a romantic voyage of discovery just feel too overwhelming, confusing and potentially embarrassing? If so, read this book for an even-handed exploration of the modern possibilities for meeting new partners and friends. It's hard for sophisticated adults to subject themselves to the uncertainties of looking for love and Ms Romm uses matter-of-fact examples and her own experience to lower the anxiety threshold and explore the options, step-by-step. Most current dating books focus on the internet as the most efficient way to connect with appropriate new partners and this one does, too. The author details her own experiences and provides lots of practical advice from how to word your descriptions, to where and how to meet, topics to steer clear of, red flags, guidelines and positive reinforcement. And she even gives you some help with how to kindly phrase and deliver a graceful exit speech too, which let's face it you're going to have to manage at some point unless you marry the first person you meet.

    5 out of 5 stars A whole new set of rules for dating.......2005-04-06

    Midlife romance isn't the same as first-time dating: if you haven't dated for a long time and are older, there's a whole new set of rules for dating, from advertising for a date and changing attitude to handling expectations on all sides. Dr. Sharon Romm covers all these attitude concerns in Dating After 50: Negotiating The Minefields Of Mid-Life Romance, packed with tips on the safest, most efficient way to find dates - and how to go on them successfully. Older adults will find practical tips range from handling second families and former spouses to money and retirement concerns.

    2 out of 5 stars I sure do wish this was a better book!.......2004-12-09

    Since many of my clients are indeed over 50, I had high hopes for Sharon Romm's *Dating After 50: Negotiating the Minefields of Midlife Romance* Unfortunately, I was disappointed. Despite the author's professional background (psychiatry) and personal dating experience (an active date search with 751 responses before meeting her now-boyfriend), I found her suggestions tedious, simplistic, and depressing. Her orientation towards the reader's search is so cautious and wary that I even felt a little frightened. Maybe that's where the *minefields* of the title came from. Granted, mate searching at any age has it's difficulties, but finding a Sweetheart doesn't have to be as hard as the author alludes. Believe it or not, she ends the book with a chapter entitled *Breaking Up*! While certainly when and how to break off a romantic relationship are important skills, to end a book on dating with a how-to for break-ups is a horrid message. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this book.

    Book Description

    This surprising volume contains straight talk from real women from ages 50 to 95, revealing for the first time the secrets of what they want (and don't want) regarding sex-and how they get it.

    Health educator Leah Kliger and sex therapist Deborah Nedelman traveled across the country talking with women from all walks of life to find out:

    - What really happens to women's sexual desire after 50
    - How older women keepthe lust alive
    - Where desire goes when it ebbs
    - How older women overcome their body image struggle
    - How couples can remain physically intimate even in the face of illness or injury
    - What older women want their friends, their doctors, their lovers, and even their kids to know about their sexuality

    For the first time, women over 50 reveal their true thoughts, desires, fears, and questions about sex and sexual self-esteem. Lively, reassuring, and illuminating, this book is a compassionate roadmap for women who are faced with the mysteries of aging and sexuality.

    5 out of 5 stars A good read............2007-07-13

    This was a very good read for the type of book that it is...there are many women out there who would enjoy it...it is very informative and true to form...not all about sex but rather about women after 50 in general...it is good to know what other women yhink about the second half of their lives....thank you.

    5 out of 5 stars A must read for men.......2006-04-05

    Men who want to develop or maintain a loving relationship with women over 50 will find this book essential reading. A major strength of the book are the quotations from women who were either interviewed or who participated in group discussions. The quotations have the same poignancy as those in the play, "The Vagina Monologues." Like the play, this book has some feminist perspectives that are annoying but they do not detract from the helpfulness of the book overall. The book also has some great jokes!

    Chapter 3 has one of the great jokes but overall it is a downer. The rest of the book is quite up beat so I recommend skipping Chapter 3 until you have read some of the other chapters. Men should not skip Chapter 6 on lesbian relationships since it contains very wise quotations that apply equally to heterosexual relationships.

    Of the 400 diverse women who responded to the authors' non-random survey, 57% said they were either passionate or satisfied with their partner as a lover. Only 10% said they were either uninterested or resentful toward their partner. 22% said they currently did not have a partner and 11% did not answer the question. That is very encouraging news. The book provides lots of useful suggestions on how men can help their lovers stay in the passionate or satisfied category.

    5 out of 5 stars Delightful!.......2006-04-01

    I found this book to be well written, informative, and delightful to read. The stories and comments from so many diverse women made this book one for all women to incorporate into their home library and share with friends.

    5 out of 5 stars Down to earth.......2006-03-27

    Still Sexy opens the doors to the range of possiblities for sex and aging. It's a down-to-earth book, easy to read, useful and well researched.

    5 out of 5 stars finally good information.......2006-03-24

    This book has changed so many of the assumptions I grew up with. I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Plus this is a "fun read" all the while telling the real truth from real women's stories and lives. I think the authors have shown how much they care about the lives of women everywhere by doing the actual research to write this great book. Thanks from all of us!!!

    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic gag gift.......2002-02-13

    When reading the cover and back you really think you are getting something sexy to read. The back says all you need to know and revolutionary findings. Open it and it is blank pages. I laughed so hard. Great gift.

    4 out of 5 stars It's a yolk, son.......2000-01-21

    To avoid any confusion, you must understand this is a "joke" book. I didn't realize this when I bought it. It is perfect a gag gift for someone's fiftieth birthday party, along with those black balloons!

    5 out of 5 stars You won't put it down until you've read it all!.......1999-09-25

    This book is amazing. I recommend it as a gift for all your friends and family at their 50th birthday. Or if you've already missed that, buy it anyway. Even the slowest of readers will finish this book in record time.

    Product Description

    Lyricists say that there is someone special for everyone – a “soulmate.” The dream of every single woman is to find that special friend, companion, lover, and lifetime partner who we define as our soulmate. The one that we are destined to meet, but seem to illusively miss. Dating, which seemed so natural when we were young, seems to become increasingly complex as we grow older. A variety of issues enter the equation as to how and where to meet a new love; how to know if he is the one. Issues of safety, family and financial considerations cloud the desire to meet this new love. Love After 50 - A Woman’s Guide to Starting Over explores this thing we call the mating game, what went wrong with our high school dreams, the need to have someone new in our lives, the dating myths, where to look for someone new, the proactive approach of personal ads, where and how to place ads, how to respond to ads, the growing acceptance of the Internet, how to use it to your advantage, the 21st Century man and what to expect, dating issues, and how to beat the odds in starting over.

    5 out of 5 stars There Is Hope and Happiness.......2005-05-09

    In this outstanding work author Marion Eggleton lays bare the many hidden concerns with finding a meaningful relationship after the age of 50. Many by this age are alone due to death or divorce and face the prospects of years of loneliness because of misconceptions of allowing oneself to be open to a new relationship.
    In this work, our author discusses openly the many fears and challenges that tend to prevent people from moving forward and enjoying the latter part of their lives with someone new.
    Such questions are addresses as, "Love," "Why Do I Need Someone New?" "Dating Myths," and so much more. He challenges you to examine your own motives that are hindering you from meeting someone new and you will find pages of practical advice to help you overcome these fears.

    You will also find pages of websites that offer safe ways to meet new people and listings of magazines that allow you to search for the person who may be just right for you. A little apprehensive? Don't worry, these fears are addressed as well. There is even a website listed that provides a background search for you to use that would definitely make you feel more secure concerning that new person you just might be interested in.

    All in all this is a real encouraging book for men and women over the age of 50, who long to continue enjoying life to the fullest and would like someone to share that with. Recommended.
