What's the temperature where you are?

The Stones are still on top of their game. It's hard to believe! Age didn't slow them down. How do you feel about being 70+? How is being 70 affecting your attitudes about dating and life? No wrong answers, just please share your thoughts.

It's a great day to relax and take it easy.

FYI, Route 400 runs all the way through Kansas, right past our house.

When I went to my 50th class reunion, I thought "some of these girls are still cute"! Later, I made reference to "cute girls" only to be criticized for calling them girls instead of ladies or women. Is it just that I've known them for so long? To me, they were cute girls then and they still are. But some women find that offensive, and some men might be upset to be called a cute boy. Is this a pride thing? An age thing? Is it how long you've known someone that makes the difference? What determines how you address someone? Are there really any rules for this? I'll call someone by their preference, but different people have different preferences for different reasons. Is there any universal term that won't offend anyone? I'm trying to learn something, so please be honest.

When I first joined DatingOverSeventy (DO70), there were approximately 30 members. As of right now, this group is up to 259 members, an over-800% increase. We would like to see this group get off the runway and fly.

We don't want to be just another dating discussion group like all the others. We want this group to be distinctly different by focusing on content that is geared primarily for people who are 70+. Not just dating discussion, but also real life with all its ups and downs. We're not trying to be bigger, but we surely want to be better than the others, and we're glad you're here.

But moderators alone can't make a group great. That takes interested members who are willing to get involved. Are you interested in this group picking up speed? How can you help us gain momentum? If you're interested then we're willing to roll up our sleeves and get to work, in order to make this group the best it can be. We'd love for you to be a part of it.

Please share your thoughts with us; good, bad, positive, negative, you name it, your thoughts matter. Honest and candid conversation is welcome here, so please give us some straight talk. We look forward to hearing from you.

Being 70 is not a requirement to be here. The moderator team is currently discussing what we believe is an appropriate minimum age moving forward. But don't worry, everyone who is already here will remain a part of this group.😊 We're also working on a list of rules that will be only enough to ensure things go smoothly. Please check back regularly for updates. Thank you for being here, and we hope to grow and have fun together!
