I'm 76, widowed and retired. My wife of 38 years died of cancer 5 years ago. I'm in excellent health, own my home, ride motorcycle, live in PNW.

Resolution Criteria

This market resolves YES if I establish a romantic partnership or committed companionship with a female partner at any point during 2026. Resolution is based on my own assessment of whether a meaningful romantic or companion relationship has been formed. The relationship must involve regular personal interaction and mutual commitment, not casual dating or one-time encounters.

Background

At 76 years old and widowed for 5 years following a 38-year marriage, I'm seeking companionship. My circumstances—excellent health, homeownership, active lifestyle (motorcycle riding), and Pacific Northwest location—may influence both my opportunities and approach to meeting potential partners.

Considerations

Finding a partner at this life stage involves different dynamics than earlier years. The pool of available partners in my age group, combined with the time required to develop meaningful connections, means outcomes depend significantly on both effort and circumstance. Online dating platforms, community activities, and social groups are common avenues for people in similar situations, though success rates vary considerably.
