BAJA SINGLE LIFE
Curious how many singles are out there and how your singledom is any different in(or when visiting) Baja v. USA/CAN.
I am fortunate to have been befriended by some fun people since moving here. There are lots of unpretentious couples and singles, who enjoy cooking
and home entertaining. Also, the local women are far more humble and simple than most found in socal or my previous 3 decades in Denver.
One more difference exists. The dearth of gringas relieves my coupledom friends of their need to utter those 6 dangerous words for any single, "You
need to meet my friend".
So singles, how is your social life here?

my social life is fine. it's dating that's missing. in a small community, available compatable men are rare. on the other hand, as an attractive
single woman, at least I am noticed, which is far different than the US where I, and middle aged women like me, feel invisible...
reality\'s never been of much use out here...

OK, Caboron, I'm aware of what's going on in your avatar. But 63 to what? Inquiring minds want to know!

Well you've got me there ... I wasn't aware of anything going on in my Avitor ... perhaps there is a Jungian explaination. It is , however,
an old Mexican travel poster that I thought was really cool.
 In sixty-three days, at 0500 hours, I will be crossing the border at San
Yesidro to begin my new life in Baja California Sur.  CaboRon

I like the poster, too. 9 weeks? Nothing to it. 0500, eh? That helps my perspective in my quickie trip up to L.A. this week.
Jung? Some educated minds are on Nomad, thanks.

My life is simple now and enjoy the company of others but don't need anyone to be happy. At 63 I think my dating days are over as most guys go after
the younger set. I meet a lot of friends and have so much fun that I don't miss having a relationship at all.
We all want a peaceful world, filled with love and laughter, but we fill ourselves with anger and hate trying to fiqure out how to achive it.

Actually, my mistake about the avatar (as my wife pointed out, what I really had the question about was your "mood"). Anyway, love the avatar, and
buena suerte on the day you cross into Baja. I can tell you as a recent jubilado, you won't regret a second of it.

I really like those old posters but can't find them for sale less than an arm and a leg. Muy caro.

I was single for many years in Baja and it was a real challenge as there is LOTS of attention and guys showing up all the time..usually with beer or
seafood offerings.I also enjoyed the acitivities, sporting events, and awesome dances where there was never a shortage of dance partners. It's FUN
being single in baja but probably wont last long! Also lots of baja travellers to hang with. Now that divorce is on the increase there are some good
men available....I ended up with a gem.

Interesting discussion related to this on "living alone". I am the only one in my household, but, share it with any who enjoy food, beverage,
outdoors and unpretentious conversation. I reside as a single, but LIVE among many fun people and new friends.
I very much enjoy being "single" and the opportunities to meet new and interesting people, regardless of their relational status. THANKS BG, BB, BB5
and BA for sharing your homes with me and my friends.

Back in the early '90s, I was the Tijuana player!  My friends and I would drive
down the 215, get cleaned up at Kenny and Woody's appt. near SDSU, load into his old Ford LTD, go to Revoluccion, collect phone numbers, and we'd be
busy for weeks! 
But, after the divorce I went to San Felipe in April with Andrew/Gretchen and my friend Mike, and they were amazed at how the women were attracted to
me and I wasn't even trying. Gringas, Mexicanas, whatever. I'm just a down brother from the I.E., but I guess they knew what was up!  Seriously,
its all the same, I just don't take flirting too seriously if in the U.S. or in Mexico. Women are women wherever I seem to be. Sometimes I try to be
the mac, but I usually let them be the mac...

How does that song go??"
"Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble...."
Sorry, Ken...I just could not resist!
Mom always told me to be different - Now she says...Not THAT different

Mike, the days you are talking about were a hoot for sure. The Edan was the first place we stayed back then. The aerocal flight was a blast also,
they started pouring shots the second the wheels cleared the ground. The hot tub area was wide open, even if you were conservative as my wife and I
are, we were often invited to "share", we passed but it was nice to be asked. Too bad it was so badly mis-managed.

guy said he didnt see any nekkid people. You can check it out when you are here for WON, Mike. it is just down the road from Costa Azul, which BTW
is coming along very fast and might just be ready for you. Mayan resort opened last week...it is huge.

Single life for men not great in Mulege. Mostly there are married couples and waaaay too many single men. Very few attractive or available gringas or
latinas.
I have many wonderful friends here and our activities center around food. Yes, I do my share of cooking. I do go out to many of the great restaurants
here; Scotty's, Equipales, El Patron. I make occasional appearances at Jungla Jim's, but I have a hard time with the smoke and the acoustics there.
Jose Cuervo tends to get a little loud in there.
A good would be welcomed.....
Interviews begin in January. Please send your resumes.
