So, you’re single and over 50. What an exciting place to be! The partner of your dreams might be out there, just waiting to spend his or her golden years by your side! Here are some great tips from the Huffington Post for making yourself into a great catch.
- Update your hair and makeup. Going out? “Take five minutes in the morning to
put on some blush, mascara and lipstick,” HuffPo advises. “In addition, as the years go by, lightening your hair softens the contrast with your skin, especially if you were originally a dark brunette.” A stylish haircut will help your cause even more. - Wear clothes that look good and fit well. Don’t know what colors look good on you? Try asking for help at a high-end retail store or from a stylish friend. Dress in current styles.
- Be active. “To attract love, you should have a spring in your step and a desire to do things,” writes HuffPo. “If you just want to sit at home and watch TV, you might need to do that on your own. Most singles over 50 are a vibrant, active group who still want to do and see so much.”
- Lose the negative outlook. Nobody wants to spend much time with a Debbie Downer. “Both men and women prefer a partner who is optimistic and feels good about life. If you are feeling down about what life has to offer, don’t expect a partner to fill that void.”
