Middle Single Adult Wards

[Obolus]

Mattai, I never meant to offend. You'll notice that I put that word in quotation marks so as to indicate that I myself do not consider the word to be an accurate descriptor.

But in truth, there are many in our culture who do feel that way about Midsingles. There are many who regard us as if we're broken. Even amongst our own, for every dozen that remain active there are hundreds who no longer come to church. Isn't that an indication that some feel the descriptor is accurate? I believe so.

But it's the logistics of the system that are a little messed up, not the Midsingles. I agree totally that we all have our own timetables, and there are roles for all to fill.

Only ordinary wards and branches in the Uk. The UK has some funny attitudes to single members.

So over 45 what do we do? Head for a rest home? In my "regular" ward I am the only active single person. Don't feel like I fit in and more. I'd like to go to mid-singles but too old.

Sharpie...haha...depending on where you live there are all-age 31+ Single Adult Wards and/or activities for 40-something Singles or 40s Friendly SA activities. Feel free to join the LDS 40-something Singles of the World facebook group as a good start with links to such wards. LDS 40-something Singles of the World Facebook Group

Also what you are you doing to help your local singles scene? Maybe there are other 40-something Singles in your area who feel the same way, and would appreciate someone like you reaching out to them. Maybe you can start unofficial 40s Singles Restaurant Dinner Groups or Game Nights or other activities that are easy to plan and then go from there...
