Introduction

Studies have shown that staying single can also put your health at risk. Researchers from the University of Chicago and Duke University have found that the longer a man spends in divorced or widower state:

* The higher his likelihood of developing heart or lung disease or cancer

* The greater his risk of high blood pressures, diabetes, and stroke

*The more difficulties he will have with mobility, such as walking or climbing stairs

This particular study only involved men, but we’re willing to be that women run those same risks as well. It makes sense then to get back out in the social scene and date – for your health!

If you're over 50 and you'd like to date, put your fears aside. There are so many safe ways to meet others who are in a similar situation. No longer do those over 50 have to rely on friends or family or neighbors to provide them with dating opportunities.
