Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Two great stories in this Newsletter. You
Ladies
continue to inspire all of us!
A LOVE STORY:
Richard,
I've been following your newsletters for months.
My first intent was to send a profile and video and to
get into the running with all the other ladies and
attempt to vie for your attention. After some
introspect, though, I realized that I was actually
very happy where I am, nestled near family and close
friends. I asked myself, "what if I were chosen by
Richard and become involved with him?" My answer
said that I am happiest being near the most
important people in my life- family. So, you helped
me to realize what really matters. Thank you.
Still, there was something missing. I had dated one
fellow for about eight months, yet we were nothing
more than just friends. After three failed marriages,
it seemed that I was destined just to be happy with
what I have- family, friends, work and hobbies. I
kept reading your newsletters, and in January
thought, "why not try a two month membership to
Perfectmatch? What do I have to lose?"
I had been very reluctant to use any online dating
services. After completing the profile and signing up,
the first glance at other profiles was exciting- were
there really over 425 single men over 50 in my area?
Then I got discouraged, because very few would
write back to me. I'm not sure why people sign up,
then don't respond.
Just before the end of the two month trial, I met
Michael. We began writing, then talked on the phone
multiple times, then finally met for breakfast. After
the second week, and a long motorcycle ride, we
were both hooked and are now enjoying the romance
of being in love- who would have thought it could
happen so fast! Family and friends are still important
in my life, and always will be. Yet, it is that very
special bonding, and sharing of life's day to day
activities, past experiences, hopes and dreams, and
especially the warmth of human touch that was so
missing. We both think we have something special in
the works, yet plan to enjoy the relationship for
awhile before considering marriage.
Thank you for sharing your dream with thousands
and really making a difference in so many lives. May
your health continue to improve, and may your
journey continue until, you, too find that perfect
match!

Richard here:
Receiving this e-mail gave me goosebumps. Long time
readers of this Newsletter know of our association
with Perfectmatch.com and I wanted to bring all of
the new readers up to date. We looked long and hard
at many dating services, and I believe Perfectmatch
is the best one for our group. In the world of full
disclosure, I do receive a small commission from
Perfectmatch when someone uses their services, but
anything I earn is all plowed back into the expense of
running seniorbachelor.com. Thus by participating,
you also are helping me to continue to spread the
good word about Romance and Adventure for all of
us.
If you have not taken the free compatibility Profile, I
highly encourage you to do so by clicking here. It
takes less than 15 minutes, and you will
immediately receive your profile back from
Perfectmatch. I tried it and it fit me to a "T." If you
like your profile, why not give yourself a chance for 2
or 3 months?? The compatibility Profile is free and if
you sign up for the service, the cost is very
reasonable.
Now, let's be realistic. With any dating service, or
friends fixing you up, or the like, the odds are that
you will not find your soul mate-at least not right
away. However at least you are trying!!!!!!! We have
had some wonderful success stories with
Perfectmatch. And, yes, many people did not find
their soul mate. But at least they tried, and that's
what I am encouraging you to do. Give yourself a
chance to find your Perfectmatch!!
ALASKA CRUISES
The Zaandam, sailing from August 11-18, is sold out
and on a waiting list basis only. The Westerdam,
sailing from August 20-27, is 95% sold out, and we
have 1-2 weeks to make guaranteed reservations. If
you would like to see what many people believe is
one of the Wonders Of The World, Alaska, in 5 Star
luxury, with a terrific group of like-minded people,
please e-mail me at richard@seniorbachelor.com. I
can help you find a cabin mate if you would like, and
this way you avoid the single supplemental charge.
But please hurry, as time is of the essence. You only
live once!!!
As with our previous "Meet the Senior Bachelor
Events", parties and the first part of the Journey,
Umberto will be there to take photographs
throughout the cruises. (Click here to see photos from the past
events.) Joe will post them to the website and
in the newsletters written from the open seas!
You may have been on cruises before- but there will
be nothing like the Senior Bachelor Cruise! We will be
the hit of the sailing. Remember- there will be 1,700
other passengers on board and they will see the FUN
we are having together. They all have male friends,
co-workers, brothers who they can introduce to you.
Remember the "Crazy Hat Party?" (Click here for
photos.) Now, imagine that much FUN times
seven days.
(Yes. Those are fake teeth!) Best regards! Richard Roe Senior Bachelor

Dr Phil's Test: Here you go. Try this!
Below is Dr Phil's test. (Dr. Phil scored 55; he did this
test on Oprah - she got a 38.) Some folks pay a lot
of money to find this stuff out!
Read on, this is very interesting!
Don't be overly sensitive! The following is pretty
accurate and it only takes 2 minutes. Take this test
for yourself and send it to your friends.
Answers are for who you are now...... not who you
were in the past. Have pen or pencil and paper
ready. This is a real test given by the Human
Relations Dept. at many of the major corporations

POINTS:
1. (a) 2 (b) 4 (c) 6
Now add up the total number of points.
OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they
should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-
centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others
may admire you, wishing they could be more like you,
but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too
deeply involved with you.
51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting,
highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not
always the right ones. They see you as bold and
adventuresome, someone who will try anything once;
someone who takes chances and enjoys an
adventure. They enjoy being in your company
because of the excitement you radiate.
41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively,
charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting;
someone who's constantly in the center of attention,
but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their
head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and
understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up
and help them out.
31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible,
cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who
makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone
who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and
who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who
really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake
your trust In your friends, but equally that it takes
you a long time to get over if that trust is ever
broken.
21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as
painstaking and fussy. They see you as very
cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady
plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did
something impulsively or on the spur of the moment,
expecting you to examine everything carefully from
every angle and then, usually decide against it. They
think this reaction is caused partly by your careful
nature.
UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy,
nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking
after, who always wants someone else to make the
decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with
anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who
always sees problems that don't exist. Some people
think you're boring. Only those who know you well
know that you aren't.
How did it turn out for you? Send me an email at
richard@seniorbachelor.com with your results.
From Mary C. Tulsa, Oklahoma Hello Richard, This is a story about a marriage of innocence, courage and hope. Hopefully after reading this story the reader would be delightfully satisfied both in mind and spirit. It is a story about the Tulsa Dream Center tutoring class of children. "From Ashes to Beauty," is the transformation that these little children have taken because they have grown up in the ghetto, many of them to parents who have believed the lies of the ghetto songs who's lyrics teach about being born to poverty, raised by the ghetto mentality, and dying in the clutches of poverty, never escaping. In spite of this environment these little children have chosen to believe that they can rise above what they have been handed down by life and become contributing links to a happy future not just for themselves, but for people they share this life with. Tutoring begins a 6:00 in the evening when most children's parents are providing hot meals and home work assistance. These children are being raised by single parents who are either at work at this time or not educated enough to help them. We provide a meal and tutoring. Sometimes it's just a matter of reading a story to the 5 year olds. If they come for just the meal we provide reading or math activities that are adjusted to their age and learning level. The computers you see in the picture were donated by regular people. We have programmed them with a program called Auto Skills that does all the teaching for us. For the children who are too young or not computer literate, I teach phonics. I cannot begin to tell you how satisfying it is to work with these volunteers and children. The beauty of it all is to see them grow up and have their forgotten dreams come true . Many of them return after graduation to help the other children that society has left behind.
The children are the heroes in this story because they are over-comers. I think the key is they don't think that life owes them anything, they come in the rain, the cold, the sun, and on dark days to receive the love and hope that some of the real people of this world have provided for them. They work hard and their gentle eyes and smiles portray the peace and gratitude and courage of warriors who have defeated the enemy of poverty.

Complimentary hot cocoa and split pea soup served on deck mid-mornings. Menus designed to feature fresh Alaskan specialties such as king crab legs and grilled salmon. A Park Service Ranger on board to provide fascinating commentary on Glacier Bay National Park (wait until you see this!!!!).
