Are the 60s the new 30s?
60s are a new 30s. Do you believe it?
In my head, I am still in my 30s but my body is not 30ish anymore…
I thought it was only women who lost confidence as they got older. But it seems to be the same for men.
When I talk to male members in their late 50s and 60s, I hear them say that they are too old. I tell them that’s not true, then they say “Misao, you’re kind.”
I’m not saying this to encourage them. I am in my sixties too and I just don’t want to accept that I am too old.
But if I were single and had no idea how to meet new people, I would feel “I’m too old.”
People in their 60s, have life experiences, jobs, children, health, properties, lots of assets to live happily but without a partner who can they share their happiness, joy, experience, time and adventure with, the 60s might be just old age.
What if you have a Japanese partner celebrating your 60th birthday?
Two weeks ago, one of our formar OzMatch Japanese female members contacted me and asked for help.
She met her Australian partner at the OzMatch speed dating event and they started dating.
After three and half months, they made a commitment to each other and completed their journey with OzMatch.
Hitomi is in Japan and can’t be with Garry on his birthday, so she wanted to do something special for him and that was why she asked for help.
I organised an online birthday room and contacted a few male members who have met Garry at the Gyoza party. Unfortunately not many members could make it but we got two former OzMatch members, Tom and Ayaka, to join Garry’s 60th surprise birthday party.
It was last night, September 15th.
We all prepared the virtual background for his birthday, except Hiromi.
She prepared the perfect background with real materials and she showed up wearing her KIMONO. What a surprise !! What a beautiful Japanese woman!!
Garry seemed to be lost for words.
Then we played the video which Hiromi made. It was only a one and half minute video but contained many memories of them and showed her love. Ayaka and I were moved to tears by it.
Hiromi also organised the birthday cake for him. What was very cute was that instead of Garry, her grandson blew out the candles.
I was very happy to be a part of their celebration with my husband and OzMatch former members, Tom and Ayaka.
Does it matter if your partner is in Japan?
Often Australian male members say “ I’ve never been in a long distance relationship before, so I don’t know if it will work.”
Does it matter if you have long distance relationship experiences or not?
Garry didn’t, neither did Hiromi. But look at the photo. Don’t they look happy?
On the night of Garry’s surprise virtual birthday party, I received a message from Garry.
“Hello Misao san and Sean san. Thank you for joining me and Hiromi tonight. I was so surprised and appreciated your effort and your decorations celebrating my birthday. Meeting Hiromi is the best thing that ever happened to me. Thank you for OzMatch and for bringing Hiromi into my life. Kindest regards. Garry“
and a message from Hiromi.
“Dear Misao san, Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule for us and for sending us the video. I wanted Garry to feel that he had not only found his future wife, but he had also found a friend in Brisbane. We’ve had a really warm and wonderful time after you all left. I am grateful for you and OzMatch.“
I shared his message with Hiromi this morning. She was so moved by his message that she cried.
His birthday will never be alone. He has Hiromi in his life and she will make his birthday happier and happier.
The 50s and 60s are the perfect ages to meet Japanese women!
Through the matchmaking experiences, especially last night, seeing a happy senior couple, I would like to say the 50s and 60s are absolutely the new 30s and they are too young to give up on love and relationships.
In international marriages and long distance relationships people need patience and receptiveness. I think mature men who have both patience and receptiveness are perfect to meet Japanese women.
But do not wait until your 60s to find love and a partner. You can start finding love and a partner anytime if that is what you want.
If you don’t know how to find your partner, especially a Japanese partner, then we are here.
OzMatch is an Australian and Japanese matchmaking agency and all our female members are Japanese. We will guide you and support you to find your ideal match.
