Most of them are running scared and trying to get over their last marriage.:eek: Sorry....couldn't resist.
I hope you find the man God has for you. It'll be worth the wait.

Most men over 50 have been married or divorced or already have had their children.

Sorry if most women don't like it, but men generally past 50 have no interest in hooking up. They been there, done that, got the t-shirt. All they want now is some peace and quiet.

I have to disagree with you. I'm a leader for a singles ministry and our singles are mainly 45 and up. We have plenty of men looking for relationships and get married. Most have been divorced, few never have been married.

Not all guys shy away from having a second family. I got remarried again again in my forties, and had 2 children, one when I was fifty. But I love raising kids, even age my age. They are a blessing. Though I can understand why everyone may not want to raise children at this point in life.
It helps that I am very fit. I can't imagine doing this if I had the declining energy of many folks my age. It can be exhausting enough even though I'm in fairly good shape.
As with everything else in a Christians life, the key is to rely on God and pray through challenges and to also utilize the joy of the Holy spirit that God has gifted us all with.

This question is not meant to offend anyone, Is it any single blackmen over 50 left?
countrycharm, you should list your own age so the men over 50 know what generation you're from.

You're right, see the thing is at age 50, men and women lose all feeling. At that point We're all just basically sitting around God's waiting room. Sigh, I better make the best of my last four years. You're 31, so enjoy the next two decades.

Actually, there is one reason single men over 50 might still want to get married... :rolleyes:

Suddenly I get the feeling there are now two reasons I'm not old enough to be in this thread. One is because I'm not over 50. The other is the three posts right above mine.

I agree about the kids thing.... I am 33 and no desire to have anymore kids. If I were to re-marry (this is purely for example, most know I never will re-marry) and she had kids, they would have to be out of diapers at the least. I did my time. So, by the time I am 50, no way!!!

I just joined and found this thread interesting, particularly the overwhelming assumptions and compartmentalization of men over 50 and what we want or desire.

Just FYI, I am one of those over 50 men whose never married and don't have any children, and looked upon like a leper as if there's something wrong with me as opposed to acknowledging societal social-ills (even in the church) of it's aversion to Interracial marriages.

Oh and BTW, I've had a desire to be married ever since I was in my 20's and would love to find a good woman to marry. Just sayin.

Widowers. Plenty of divorced men, but may not be what you want. I have a widower friend that is very fit and active. He is ready to date and find someone. He said he do s not want to step into a step-father for toddlers, but have some me one to share life with. Shop multiple churches. Luck & Blessings

Because not every man over 50 is you?
And who said anything about starting a family? I don't see that anywhere in the OP.
Can you really speak for all men and dictate to women what all men want?
Sounds to me like you need to learn to start speaking ONLY for Yourself and stop speaking for all men, or even all men over 50.
And stop making presumptions about what other peoples intentions are. Seeking marriage doesn't always mean having children either. Some people just want to find a person to love and live with.
Sounds to me like you have some issues.
Ouch..........where is the love in that reply?
Ten character thing again :(
