What I would really love to find is someone just to do things with, travel with, etc. I'm told there are women like that out there and to be honest, I sort of think that some of those who don't date and are as independent as I am would fit the bill but they would rather just be by themselves - perhaps as jaded as I've become?
I don't think you are too far off here.......just having a companion to do things with is not a bad idea. Coupled with the high D rates of 2nd and 3rd MR's I think it makes sense. My mom has a friend who left her H for a younger model and her Ex never got re-married, still lives in the same house with his girlfriend of many years. So I know first hand it can definitely happened.
At minimum you are happy in your own skin and with yourself which is huge!
I have heard mixed reviews with the on-line dating scene. Quite frankly I would be a little scared to put myself out there but I know some how I would have to get comfortable with it.

Then I look at friends and while I can name several who are happily married, many are not.
I haven't taken a poll but I now look at people who are married differently and feel that I can tell someone who is happy vs not happy. Maybe it is my BD instincts!
