I am considering relocating to Ajijic. I visited earlier this month, just for a day (I was vacationing in GDL), the in-person vibe seemed good. However, one of my big concerns is that nearly everyone might be much older than me (I am a 50 year old man). I can enjoy conversation/interaction with people of all ages, but the idea that nearly everyone would be much older, that would not be good. I get there are many mid 60s and older, its a retirement area. Can you provide some insights as to how many non-Mexicans there are under age 55 (excluding short term tourists)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026591328777526500.post-31418558958419611152015-07-06T17:08:56.782-05:002015-07-06T17:08:56.782-05:00Thank you for writing to me.

All you have to do is go to a public place and you will run into single women. Have you gone to the American Legion? And the Lake Chapala Society? Or the singles club in Ajijic? Or even sat at any of the plazas??? Please don´t give up on women. We are too many and we need more single men here.

I live alone, and now I find myself lonesome. Might be my old age,64. I am in good health, do not smoke or drink. Also I do not run the streets. I cook, and keep a clean house. I would like to meet someone to go out to eat, or have coffee , or just stay home and watch a movie , hold hands and talk. no, I do not need the (pill). My problem is I am very shy, so it is very difficult to meet some one. I have almost decided that I will be alone the rest of my life. I believe in respecting a lady, and treating her as a person. Age is not important to me.

I am looking to move elsewhere but it seems it's a worldwide problem. Not necessarily on a "man hunt" but hey it would be nice to not feel "invisible" to men......just a flirt even would be nice. I love socialising, going out and listening to live bands and having a wine, or two!. It seems retirement options are better for couples than singles as some lovely places to retire in the countryside but not enough "life" for me. Maybe I am best to stay where I am.

We came here 30 years ago and agreed we'd probably only last for 5 or so, but we are still here.

I am a single woman living ne...Hey there, Patricia!<br />I am a single woman living near Portland, OR. Retiring early in three years, getting really tired of RAIN. I've been seriously toying with the idea of moving to Lake Chapala to see how I like it. While doing tons of research online, I ran across your site. For sure Chapala isn't the place to move to find a man, but for women over about 45, there probably isn't a place. Men, due to their "visual orientation" like fresh, smooth, young skin--and that's a fact we aren't going to get around. But, I haven't found any men anywhere my age to be prizes I want--so not a problem. If I move it's for the great weather and a new life that starts at retirement from over 20 years in law enforcement. Not living in the constant drizzle, under gray skies nine months of the year is very tempting. I'm an avid gardener and the thought of growing things year round is complelling too. Being able to walk my German Shepherd in a warm climate and hike or take walks that don't involve "bundling up" and wearing boots sounds wonderful:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026591328777526500.post-1566140197483825522012-11-18T21:40:29.578-06:002012-11-18T21:40:29.578-06:00Thank you for commenting.

It is ...Hi NorthBeachBum, Thanks for writing again. It is so hard to tell you how expensive it will be here for you because I don't know what you do in your life. If you don't go out to expensive bars or restaurants then your next major expense will be housing. You can get a place for three hundred dollars if you look carefully or go as high as you like. Food is inexpensive unless you are buying imported things in Super Lake. I spend about 800 dollars a month but I have a very cheap rental and don't go out often.... Hope this helps. I think just about anything you want or any life style you want is here.....pPatricia W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10846479098627217709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026591328777526500.post-57024023601315390292012-02-12T17:49:30.209-06:002012-02-12T17:49:30.209-06:00Thank you for your response.

Fortunately I had parents that taught me to choose my friends for the people that I perceive them to be first and all other considerations second. I would hope to be able to have a mix of friends both men and woman as I am not one prone to just wanting guy talk with fellow grumpy old men. I also like to dance and would enjoy involvement in some communal activities and charitable organizations. I would also hope that it is possible to make friends with the natives as I have a great fear of winding up in an expat community isolated from the native population and culture. In a previous life I could afford to travel and have been to various places in Mexico and always liked most of the Mexicans I encountered.<br /><br />Do you have a good grip on what it presently costs to live a modest life style in Lake Chapala as I will be pretty much dependent on Social Security and a small savings. I am a person with a simple lifestyle and am not a shopper or accumulator of stuff, more a rolling stone type. My biggest high would be the wonderful climate and a new adventure.<br /><br />Thanks again.NorthBeachBumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13173885154516918113noreply@blogger.com
