Oh My! What is so shocking, darling? Maybe seeing Archie "uncut"?!

I do not want to date a 47-year-old man. Well, unless he was really hot. And tall. Sorry if I'm shallow for that. Too bad. You know how much you're missing out on. Or maybe you don't.

I'm so glad I have enough to live on so my kids don't pimp me out so they aren't stuck supporting me.

Well, so I don't have to go off and live off some sickly old person because I haven't saved for my own care. So my kids don't consider me a burden that they have to foist off on someone else to support me because they aren't interested in doing that for me. Since I doubt I speak the language of the country I'm living in, what else could I have been doing forever but living off others?

I always had a rule about dating - they couldn't be younger than my son. But he's getting old so that rule may have to go the way of the dodo bird My rule was always plus or minus 5 years of my age. The older I get the more I realize that eliminates a lot of great people. So my only rule now is that that they can't be old enough to be in my parents peer group or young enough to theoretically be my child. As for the OP, while I wouldn't be looking for a boyfriend for my MIL, I also don't think that Craigslist is the place to find anyone suitable. I mean if the OP is looking for a bootycall for her MIL it's a great place, a relationship? Less so.

Although I am also trying hard to save and not be dependent on my children or anyone else when I'm retired, if this is a swipe at Loony's mom it's a little unfair.
Depending on what country she's from and what era she lived in, it wasn't possible for women to have enough of an income or control over that income to be able to save for their own care. Heck, it's only been relatively recently that women in the US had broad enough career opportunities and control over their income, fertility and lives to be able to save for their own care. That day is still not here for women in many, many countries.

This may be true but that doesn't mean that loony shouldn't support her mother and not look to making her nurse old men in hopes that one of them will support her. Talk about a lack of familial respect.

Talk about a lack of familial respect. You are totally mean and unfair. How dare you scolding me without knowing what is going on in my life? My Mom stayed home after BFs passing and did a lot of house work and later she became bored. So she went looking after a woman who needs help. I though about her taking care of someone who doesn't speak her language and how she would be better taking care of someone she can maybe have relations with like her BF. I just want her to have life. You are so lucky you don't understand people problems like if you have none. You are being seriously nasty! For nothing.

I'm not the one looking for others to support my mother. She wants to work! I want her to have life as well. Can you shut up already? You are being ridiculous and nasty! And you NEVER know what is life holding for anyone. Being so mean can hunt you down. Stop.

Loony, I think the issue most people had wasn't so much hooking up your mom, as how you were doing it, by posting on dating-type websites. Innocent people meet very bad people that way; it's not safe.
Help her find a part-time job instead; one that involves working around people her own age. Or get her involved in an ethnic or cultural organization, so she meets other people who share her background. A good site to use is MeetUp, which lists clubs and group meeting activities in a city or town for people with a variety of interests. She can find something that interests her, and go to a safer, more public place to meet in a group setting, and get to know several people at once, then decide if it's the right thing for her to do.

NANCY! I said Mom is working taking care of a sick woman. She does not speak much of an English and I wanted her to meet Russian speaking man, so what if I chosen craiglist? I didn't think much about it because I am finding workers over there and it all right Just have to watch out and nothing so drastic about it. Zib just being nasty person and taking care of parents doesn't mean that you have to have money. If parent fell ill having money kids can hire help and forget about them. Because they have money and can afford it. No one knows what future holds. And no, my Mom won't go to the groups, she is just very much in her own world. And trying to help her to find a nice partner isn't pimping mom out. She is working and can be working while living with someone. No?

Craigslist choices have gotten people assaulted and killed. People lie on Craigslist because they can, because they want to and because they have very bad intentions. Your mother, especially because her English is limited, is the perfect target for a bad guy. And "groups" aren't always big in terms of numbers. That's the whole idea of a site like MeetUp. She can check out the group before she decides to go, and read about what it's like and who is in it and how many people are in it. Yes, she can work for one person while living with another. Provided she survives the first date, anyway. You're finding workers on Craigslist? For what? You mean for your store? How did that work out for you? And finding workers on Craigslist successfully means diddlybuttsquat compared to finding someone for your mother. There is no comparison.
