I was married for 22 years, divorced and single longer than that, happily single! I married the man of my dreams 5 years ago and am now happily married. The point being, happiness is a choice. You get one life. LIVE it and enjoy whatever season your6in to the best of your ability! Get out and meet people, go to movies and restaurants alone and be friendly to others who might be alone. Go to church! There is nothing like a family of believers who care about you! Great show, Robin! Especially zince I listened to another video this morning with a single woman who complained for a full half hour about being single. Kudos to you for lots of great tips!👍
Hey Robyn, I plan to move down there and I have no issues doing things on my own. In fact I went to an Andrea Bocelli concert on Valentines Day by myself and got an amazing seat! I have always believed before you can embark on having a relationship with someone else you have to be comfortable with being by yourself and more importantly love yourself first! ❤ looking forward to your travel channel!
Hi Robyn. I normally never post comments on RUclips. However, your story really struck a chord with me. I am in my late 30’s and currently live in Illinois. So while I don’t have much in common with you, your advice on the single life transfers over to a lot of us single people out there (regardless of our differences). Thank you for posting this, and keep up the great work. I love your channel!
Robyn, it's called being independent. I'm nearly 70 years young and very active both athletically and socially (for my age, as they say) and I know several people that are single either from losing their partner (spouse) or through bad relationships and after getting over the loss, you need to pick yourself up and start living your own life. Is it easy, no, not at first. But you find yourself trying new adventures and meeting new people and realize that the sun really does come up every morning. I love your attitude and approach to living a single life and being creative with your newly found lifestyle. If I ever decide to move to The Villages, I'll be sure to look you up, to buy a house, of course. BTW, I played night golf once and after the second hole I decided to go back to the bar and continue my round there.
Thank you for this! I’m moving there in a few weeks and I’m very happy being single but looked forward to meeting great people that enrich our lives 🙏🏽💗
I took part early on in in the building of the villages as a site developer. I helped dig the ponds build the roads and did the dirt work under your homes and grass. I always thought it was a "old folks" place but as a local at first it wasnt my favorite thing but as ive gotten older (53 now) i can honestly say the villages has brought a ton of culture to our area as well as commerce. I dont live in the villages but have come to appreciate what the people of the villages bring to our community. Thanks for sharing your story
Hey Robyn, Thanks for talking about being single. I've been a widower for 2 years, gone through a lot, changed a lot, and I'm much better for it. You go girl - You sound healthy. You're a good example. Glad I watched.
OMG, a woman after my own heart. Been single for 10 years, traveling single for about 20 years, going out to nice restaurants by myself when it wasn't cool. I am planning on buying in TV in about a year, and what I am looking forward to is to do "stuff" with singles without the pressure of finding somebody. If it happens it happens, but I am not thirsty.
Great video. You are strong and smart! Better to be single and free than to be with someone full time who does not make you happy. Kudos out there to couples that have found the right person too. But if someone is "single" the Villages seems like the perfect place to live.
Hi Robyn. I am single and live in The Villages and I appreciate the information that you provided. I do feel like a third or fifth wheel sometimes, but not always. I have many couple friends that always make sure that I am included in events. I also have some single friends that are fun to be with. Thanks for all the information and your personal view. You have a great personality and seem to be fun to be around. Keep up the great content and you do have a great smile.
I work in cardiac medicine and most of my patients are at or past retirement age. I have had hundreds of conversations with patients, both male and female, that are single either due to divorce or death of a spouse. I have found that women, in general, prefer and can handle being single more than men. Men need a companion, for various reason, while women seem to thrive being alone. The reasons for both sides are multitude, but just in general women handle it better than men.
Hi Robyn I'm so glad I found your Channel. I am 71 and moved to the Villages last July. I am single and it's the first time since I have been 16 that I haven't had a boyfriend a husband a dog a boss or a child to raise. I am loving every minute of my Single Living. I go out when I feel like it and I don't go out when I don't feel like it. It's my choice. I still work but I do work that I absolutely love. I've met some people here but I have not made any really close friends yet. That doesn't bother me either. Thanks for your Insight.
A co-worker retired and moved to the villages. I speak to him from time to time. He said it was great for single men who didn't want to commit to another marriage. Too crowded for me, I will stay on my little farm until I die!
Love this video - Robyn says just what my millennial daughter says. No dating apps, sorry, if it happens, it will just happen. And that is exactly what has taken place just recently where she met a great guy at her church and now in a committed relationship. Robyn is a catch and no doubt will capture a good mans heart - and there are good men out there. If not, no big deal, she will be just fine.
Hi Robyn, your video has made it to Australia! I’ve just met a lot of Americans on a cruise here in Aus and really liked their vibe and energy. This got me looking at what is available that would mirror a cruise but on land. I’ve ended up at your video and would just like to thank you for providing a wonderful summary on how some (i’m similar to yourself) people actually love being single and thrive on being ‘themselves’. I found myself laughing and concurring to all of what you said (particularly the tickets to concerts/events and continuous efforts of friends to ‘play matchmaker’). Thanks again, you never know our paths may cross outside a Dunkin’ Donuts if we are ever in each others country lol. Chris 🇦🇺🦘
Hi Robyn - I want to thankyou for your honesty and sharing this on video. I am a happily married woman and you are a happily single woman and I'm sure this video will inspire many single persons. We are not in the Villages but spend our winters just outside so enjoy going into the Squares. I will keep my eyes out for you.
My parents moved to a golf course community in Palm Springs in their 50s. They are 80 now, and I am in my 50s. They did a lot of activities over the years, but I am sure there is a much larger breadth of opportunities in a community the size of The Villages. Also, as you pointed out, any activity that isn’t being served, if you have a little initiative you can surely find others that want to participate.
Single and looking to move to the villages within the year … I also feel like God will bring the man to me who I’m meant to be with . Thanks for this video 😊
Oh my gosh Robyn, I just watched this video and I agree with you 100%! I'm single and enjoy being single. I like traveling alone and have no problem sitting at a bar enjoying a delicious meal. And like you, if I want to strike up a conversation with someone, I'll do it. Being single and loving it gives me a great sense of empowerment. Ok, I may be sold on doing a Villages life style visit this summer. I want to see if I can manage through the heat and humidity. Thank you for sharing your wonderful view of life. Cheers! Ron
Robyn, I love how honest and straight forward you are in your video, I am probably going to move there eventually, I play drums and guitar and I have musician friends that live there all ready, I know I could thrive in that environment, I feel like you do I don't "need" anybody to enjoy my life, take care
Love this video. Thank you for sharing. More power to you. I'm single and love the freedom this brings. I come and go as I please and make my own decisions. I'm on my own time clock. I admire people who are in long term, happy relationships and good for them but that's not me. I have learned there's a lot to be said for getting though things alone. I'm a much stronger person for it. Again thanks for sharing.
Amen Been single for 4 yrs and plan to move to the villages in the next year. I think the same way .. if it happens fine if not that’s okay because I love my life how it is. Living my best life …
I always wondered about the Villages, I lived in Indian Rocks Beach and St Pete Beach FL. 5 years ago I moved back to Illinois, now I'm 64 very active, single. I was always told it was a great place. Thanks for the info. I enjoy being single, I my move back very soon.
Hi Robyn. I've been following your videos. We don't have many things in common, but I enjoy your personality, self confidence and enthusiasm. Thanks for sharing your perspectives.
Very cool video, great content. I looked at a few properties in The Villages, but found everything overpriced, and way to many rules and regulations for me. I'm just a rich single country boy that likes my peace and solitude. I found a nice 2bedroom/ 2bath on a fair size fishing lake for way under the price what they were wanting for a villa in The Villages. This property is 2.76 acres and there is no public access to this spring fed lake.......
Sounds like you are in a great place in your life. As a male, I would never post that I will be somewhere and soliciting people to meet up. Your term, “whack job” is highly accurate.
Thank you for acknowledging that not all singles are looking for a partner, some are happy enough as they are. But it is harder to be included without the partner, I find. I wondered whether that would be just as big an issue in the Villages as it is elsewhere.
I saw your RUclips program on Single In The Villages. I have gone through a lifestyle visit and just recently spent a month renting a home in The Villages. I am a widow of 12 years. I like company of men for events and women for events. Some of the things I like to go to are what men like but I also like to go to things that women like. Some things I like to go out with a specific woman. After being married successfully for 35 years I miss that companionship. I know now it’s different but that’s OK. When I go out with couples I feel like a third wheel. In the villages I tried to find events to go out for singles but I was told you had to own a house in The Villages and be a member. I understand their concern. But it does make it difficult for me. Someday I might sell my house in Columbus Ohio and move to the villages. So you see my dilemma. Do you have any suggestions? I have also met Ira Miller, Skip Smith, Jerry and Linda and Rust Nelson Ron Pass P.S. I also have fallen in love with Pickleball
Hey Robyn. Thanks for the upbeat overview of living single in the Villages. Just turned 70 myself and still as active and healthy as I was in my 20's, 30's and so on. How you described your enjoyment of living single parallels my view of life. I'm looking forward to my Village Tour the middle in Sept with the goal of moving their November or January the latest. Don't know if I will just rent a home and buy a house as some point in the future. But if I decide to, I will give you a call. Thanks again for taking the time to discuss this important topic. Be well.
Been divorced for years, like you, nobody to answer too or pick up after. Being single isn't a bad thing! I will say this though, you are a pretty lady with a nice personality!
Before my wife died of cancer, I always did my own laundry, shared cooking and house cleaning and home maintenance, lawn care, pool care ets. Being married is a commitment to each other and both should share life. My wife was not my keeper. We both shared whatit was needed to have a happy relation.
Hi Robyn! Love your channel and watch all the time. I am 65 and single and can so identify with all you are saying. I would have definitely went to bill competition with you! My first husband was a Brahma bull rider, always a great time!
Well Robyn, you are down there in the Villages, and talking about the TV, so I will not talk negative. I want you to tell us what and where you are! I have thousands of senior friends in Lowely Places (Garth Brooks) special, throughout the Country! !
Having the job is a big key to being happily single. Not a necessity, but I think it helps. I definitely enjoy solo traveling to the Caribbean. All you say makes sense. Enjoy life
Yes and no. There is such a large population of residents that are retired or near retirement age that move here for the activities and away from friends and family. How will they meet people being single and will they be lonely having moved away friends and family is a big concern for buyers.
@@Robyncavallaro I have lived in the Chicago area for 40+ years. I understand the fear in moving away from the familiar & comfortable. But Chicago winters were tolerable when I was 40, but now at 62 I really dislike them. Fingers crossed I will be retiring in December 2024 & relocating to the Sunbelt. My next visit to The Villages is next month. Fingers crossed for 70 degrees plus & sunshine each day. 😎
Hi Robyn. Thank you for the video. I'm a single gentleman in my late 60 who will be exploring The Villages in September with the idea of moving from the west coast. I was wondering about activities for singles and you provided a nice review. Thanks again. Steve
There are many singles groups and activities. As I mentioned in the video I do not participate in any singles groups. I find myself busy and have a mix of friends in my Pickleball community. There is something for everyone here
Thank you for this video. I would love to retire to TV but the majority of videos highlight couples. Still not sure it it's for me since I am very introverted. I think you are very brave to do things by yourself, I admire that.
I'm like you Robyn. Alone but not lonely. I have no problem going out to a movie, to dinner or on vacation by myself. I even went to a Jimmy Buffet concert by myself when the others in my group had to back out. I'll probably be looking for a nice place to retire in the next year or so and central Florida is the #1 spot on my list right now. By the way, I'd strike up a conversation if I saw you at a bar. 😁
I was totally going to move to the Villages, and took the “preview” offer to check things out. I was shocked at how old everyone was. I was expecting more 50’s and 60’s, but I felt so out of place because the vast majority were in their 70’s and 80s. Even the music in the restaurants and the free music at night was targeted towards that age. It was all doo-op from the 1950’s. And if you’re single and female looking for a relationship, forget it. It’s a female buffet out there, and all the old men have their pick. That’s why the STD rate is so high there. Not my cup of tea.
Great video and a subject matter we can all agree on. Suffice to say there is something here for everyone looking forward to life's next chapter, be it finding a great place to live, finding a great 60+ gently used partner or just taking it easy while you catch your breath. I'm in the process of doing all three and would recommend this video to anyone considering lifestyle changes, even looking for love. Be sure and share this video with others. Thanks Robyn.
Yeah I also am very happy single. I am told nearly daily I am such a positive attitude. I also have been married twice and want to live my best life now. I am hoping to move to the Villages in the next two years from Michigan.
I traveled single including riding a motorcycle all over the country coast to coast, and other solo travel too. I agree dating apps suck, you will find sombody if and when you want it to happen. Best of luck in your real estate career!
im 59 woman and i was single for nearly 30 yrs til i met my babe my soulmate in 2019 i was 56 and didnt think it would happen to me unexpectedly we were friends first he aske me out after 3 months we moved in together on 6 september been 3 yrs we,ve been together i feel so happy relaxed content ive never felt so happy in all my life hes 8 yrs older so we are bit of baby boomers i thank God he came into my life we are all different i suppose if u want to be single thats ok thats your choice but i got tired of doing the same groundhog thing everyday since meeting my babe im busy busy busy hes an auto electrician i help him out in his business fully trust each other we have disagreements not full blown arguements hes respectful to me an me to him i wish i would of met him yrs ago but in Gods time so ppls if u wanna be single be single if u want a soulmate pray God will send them man or woman he will answer your prayers God bless everyone and happy new yr hope everybody finds love like me world over amen xox
I stopped the video to say I so agree with you. I don’t do dating apps either. If it is meant to be it will. You just can’t sit in your house and say that. You have to be out there enjoying your life. I am subscribing because I like your vulnerability.
You are my hero! I too am perfectly happy being singe, BUT... i have never gotten comfortable doing things alone. I am going to check out your travel channel and hopefully learn from you!
I moved to the villages 6 years ago from West Florida. Single, 62 year old female. I lived.their 2 years and sold and moved. Too many people in my buisness and too wild for me.
Have you been to the Disney parks or Universal by yourself?? That's on my bucket list to do. Although I'm married my spouse doesn't like the parks anymore and I love rollercoasters so I totally don't mind going by myself.
First time coming across your channel. I agree that dating sites aren’t for everyone and don’t really put faith in them . I also ride a Harley and live in central Florida. Turned 60 in November. Like your content. 😊
First time seeing your channel. I’m single and okay with it, I enjoy going to local casinos and always meet interesting people. About 6 months ago I met another divorced single lady and we’ve been doing fun stuff. I feel funny doing dating sites & believe you will meet someone if it’s meant to be. During the summer I have ladies come over for pool time with music & cocktails and we have a great time. Thanks for sharing. So. Cal
My grandparents used to live in The Villages when they were retired. I think I'd like to do the same. I'm in my early 40's so hopefully I still have some more time left here!
Good job ur looking and Working . 2/12 I was in a Hawaiian hospital for a month . The PT lady in front of 5 others said u travel Solo I'll be happy to Go with U. Be Happy and make $$$ ..ALOHA
Actually, it's pretty easy to spot a glow in the dark golf ball. I once designed a golf ball with a homing device. I just couldn't get the PGA to accept the design as legal.
My best friend bought us tickets to see Bon Jovi FRONT ROW when they played in Alllentown, where I was living, it was amazing. She told me best money she ever spent watching me lose my mind then they started playing. LOL.
Thanks for the video it's really encouraging me not to worry about being single i will be moving down to west palm beach soon and really don't know where to join
I'm 47 divorced and living in New Port Richey FL. I'm a Army Veteran and I'm just chilling. I wake up in the morning, have my cup of coffee and feed the ducks at my lake. As a Retired Army Veteran.. I have nothing but time. If I run into any single Ladies on My Level.. aye, we'll see what happens. 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
@@adamchavez999 OH you think so well I just want to be friends I'm way too old for her to be interested in I've just retired and thinking about what I'm going to do.
I am 56 & peacefully single for 11 years. We share similar perspective on the subject. I watched this, just to listen to you talk & agree with you. May I most sincerely say you are gloriously radiant ? I never know what can be said these days. LOL 😂
Hello Robyn, I ride as well and also have my Mini Australian Sheppard that rides with me in a Dog Back Pack. I'm 50, looked at the Villages, and it's NOT for people in my age group from what I saw. .....You forgot to mention the upside-down pineapple ....lol
I'm turning 67 tomorrow and when I was a kid I grew up in Florida in the summers and since I've retired I've thought about moving there!. But I probably wouldnt be around much so I'm having a hard time paying high rent for something I'm not going to be around much!. I live on thirty acres and cant see any neighbors and I'm not into city life!.
You gotta be kinding me. Dating is out of the question. Men look for a date with women their age or older and then check out all the young girls on the dates. I can dance and drink in my home. I am very attractive widow and dated a few jerks. I had a gorgeous husband and we did it all. I don’t need a jerk.
I will be visiting The Villages for the 1st time next week. Can’t wait. A week in an Air BnB. I enjoy being SINGLE and know that I will meet THE ONE when she is on the SAME PATH as me! Playing pickle ball or at the gym or on the golf course! She will be there. In good time….

Very cool video, great content. I looked at a few properties in The Villages, but found everything overpriced, and way to many rules and regulations for me. I'm just a rich single country boy that likes my peace and solitude. I found a nice 2bedroom/ 2bath on a fair size fishing lake for way under the price what they were wanting for a villa in The Villages. This property is 2.76 acres and there is no public access to this spring fed lake.......
Nice, congratulations 🎉. Homes in The Villages are on the pricey side. Happy you found something you love
Sounds like you are in a great place in your life. As a male, I would never post that I will be somewhere and soliciting people to meet up. Your term, “whack job” is highly accurate.
True. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for acknowledging that not all singles are looking for a partner, some are happy enough as they are. But it is harder to be included without the partner, I find. I wondered whether that would be just as big an issue in the Villages as it is elsewhere.
I do not have a problem but there are many groups that seem to include only couples.
A straight headed woman who know what she wants and how to get! Love the attitude!! Hope to make the move down there in a few years.
I am 66, been living in Alaska for 31 years, I try to visit Orlando every couple of years, I love winter weather but I hate the urban traffic.
I saw your RUclips program on Single In The Villages. I have gone through a lifestyle visit and just recently spent a month renting a home in The Villages. I am a widow of 12 years. I like company of men for events and women for events. Some of the things I like to go to are what men like but I also like to go to things that women like. Some things I like to go out with a specific woman. After being married successfully for 35 years I miss that companionship. I know now it’s different but that’s OK.
When I go out with couples I feel like a third wheel. In the villages I tried to find events to go out for singles but I was told you had to own a house in The Villages and be a member. I understand their concern. But it does make it difficult for me.
Someday I might sell my house in Columbus Ohio and move to the villages.
So you see my dilemma. Do you have any suggestions?
I have also met Ira Miller, Skip Smith, Jerry and Linda and Rust Nelson
Ron Pass
P.S. I also have fallen in love with Pickleball
I sent you an email this morning.
So you can’t participate in all of the clubs and activities if you rent a house for a month? TIA
Hey Robyn. Thanks for the upbeat overview of living single in the Villages. Just turned 70 myself and still as active and healthy as I was in my 20's, 30's and so on. How you described your enjoyment of living single parallels my view of life. I'm looking forward to my Village Tour the middle in Sept with the goal of moving their November or January the latest. Don't know if I will just rent a home and buy a house as some point in the future. But if I decide to, I will give you a call. Thanks again for taking the time to discuss this important topic. Be well.
Thanks for watching. Let me know how I can help
Been divorced for years, like you, nobody to answer too or pick up after. Being single isn't a bad thing! I will say this though, you are a pretty lady with a nice personality!
Thank you :)
Before my wife died of cancer, I always did my own laundry, shared cooking and house cleaning and home maintenance, lawn care, pool care ets. Being married is a commitment to each other and both should share life. My wife was not my keeper. We both shared whatit was needed to have a happy relation.
Very informative I just turned 55 very much single have been considering the villages.. thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
You are the female version of me when it comes to being single. Nice to hear there are people of the opposite sex who feel the same as I do.
Hi Robyn! Love your channel and watch all the time. I am 65 and single and can so identify with all you are saying. I would have definitely went to bill competition with you! My first husband was a Brahma bull rider, always a great time!
Love your attitude!! Living your best life
Thanks. 😎😎
Well Robyn, you are down there in the Villages, and talking about the TV, so I will not talk negative. I want you to tell us what and where you are! I have thousands of senior friends in Lowely Places (Garth Brooks) special, throughout the Country!
!
Having the job is a big key to being happily single. Not a necessity, but I think it helps. I definitely enjoy solo traveling to the Caribbean. All you say makes sense. Enjoy life
Isn't being single / divorced / widowed basically the same in The Villages as any other town, USA?
Yes and no. There is such a large population of residents that are retired or near retirement age that move here for the activities and away from friends and family. How will they meet people being single and will they be lonely having moved away friends and family is a big concern for buyers.
@@Robyncavallaro I have lived in the Chicago area for 40+ years. I understand the fear in moving away from the familiar & comfortable. But Chicago winters were tolerable when I was 40, but now at 62 I really dislike them. Fingers crossed I will be retiring in December 2024 & relocating to the Sunbelt. My next visit to The Villages is next month. Fingers crossed for 70 degrees plus & sunshine each day. 😎
Hi Robyn. Thank you for the video. I'm a single gentleman in my late 60 who will be exploring The Villages in September with the idea of moving from the west coast. I was wondering about activities for singles and you provided a nice review. Thanks again.
Steve
There are many singles groups and activities. As I mentioned in the video I do not participate in any singles groups. I find myself busy and have a mix of friends in my Pickleball community. There is something for everyone here
Hi Steve
Funny I live in SoCal recently widowed and thinking also about The Villages. Small world!
Thank you for this video. I would love to retire to TV but the majority of videos highlight couples. Still not sure it it's for me since I am very introverted.
I think you are very brave to do things by yourself, I admire that.
Thank you
I'm like you Robyn. Alone but not lonely. I have no problem going out to a movie, to dinner or on vacation by myself. I even went to a Jimmy Buffet concert by myself when the others in my group had to back out. I'll probably be looking for a nice place to retire in the next year or so and central Florida is the #1 spot on my list right now. By the way, I'd strike up a conversation if I saw you at a bar. 😁
Thanks :)
Great video Robyn.
You answered many of the questions I had regarding singles opportunities.
Appreciate you sharing your experience.
Glad you found it helpful.
I was totally going to move to the Villages, and took the “preview” offer to check things out. I was shocked at how old everyone was. I was expecting more 50’s and 60’s, but I felt so out of place because the vast majority were in their 70’s and 80s. Even the music in the restaurants and the free music at night was targeted towards that age. It was all doo-op from the 1950’s. And if you’re single and female looking for a relationship, forget it. It’s a female buffet out there, and all the old men have their pick. That’s why the STD rate is so high there. Not my cup of tea.
This place is not for everyone. Highest STD rate in Florida last year was Jacksonsville. Guess people are being more careful now :)
@mikecollon100Swingers???😂😂😂
Great video and a subject matter we can all agree on. Suffice to say there is something here for everyone looking forward to life's next chapter, be it finding a great place to live, finding a great 60+ gently used partner or just taking it easy while you catch your breath. I'm in the process of doing all three and would recommend this video to anyone considering lifestyle changes, even looking for love. Be sure and share this video with others. Thanks Robyn.
Thanks for the kind comments and watching
I'm on the East Coast nothing to do over here I'm learning to be single by myself I love this content please keep posting I did subscribe
Thanks!!
Yeah I also am very happy single. I am told nearly daily I am such a positive attitude. I also have been married twice and want to live my best life now. I am hoping to move to the Villages in the next two years from Michigan.
Thanks for watching and embrace life
You are awesome! Single and 58 in WI. Hope to visit the Villages!!
Have fun!h
Love devils lake and the dells peace from Ohio sweetheart ❤
A very informative video. Being single, it helped a tremendous amount. I hope to meet you one day. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I traveled single including riding a motorcycle all over the country coast to coast, and other solo travel too. I agree dating apps suck, you will find sombody if and when you want it to happen. Best of luck in your real estate career!
Thank you!
Excellent video. I have the same philosophy as you, and will be enjoying my future life in the villages, the same way.😀
Awesome! Thanks for watching

@@Robyncavallaro thanks sweetie God bless
I stopped the video to say I so agree with you. I don’t do dating apps either. If it is meant to be it will. You just can’t sit in your house and say that. You have to be out there enjoying your life. I am subscribing because I like your vulnerability.
Thanks for sharing!!
great into in to singles lifestyle!!! thanks!! We need more confident and self loving woman like you!!
Thanks for watching and sharing
You are my hero! I too am perfectly happy being singe, BUT... i have never gotten comfortable doing things alone. I am going to check out your travel channel and hopefully learn from you!
Empower yourself to do it. I know you can 😎😎
Great video! Thanks for all the info & highlights! 😊
You are so welcome!
A classmate buddy of mine works in the villages . He moved there from out of state here . He's told me some stories about that place .
I would only believe 1/2 of what you hear 😎
I moved to the villages 6 years ago from West Florida. Single, 62 year old female. I lived.their 2 years and sold and moved. Too many people in my buisness and too wild for me.
It is not for everyone. Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion
Have you been to the Disney parks or Universal by yourself?? That's on my bucket list to do. Although I'm married my spouse doesn't like the parks anymore and I love rollercoasters so I totally don't mind going by myself.
I have not gone myself but that is the quickest way to get on a ride. Single seats riders move in line quickly!
@peace-a I go alone, love it
First time coming across your channel. I agree that dating sites aren’t for everyone and don’t really put faith in them . I also ride a Harley and live in central Florida. Turned 60 in November. Like your content. 😊
Thanks for watching.
First time seeing your channel. I’m single and okay with it, I enjoy going to local casinos and always meet interesting people. About 6 months ago I met another divorced single lady and we’ve been doing fun stuff. I feel funny doing dating sites & believe you will meet someone if it’s meant to be. During the summer I have ladies come over for pool time with music & cocktails and we have a great time. Thanks for sharing. So. Cal
Live and loving life. Good for you 💕😎
Amen Sister, I am right with you.
My grandparents used to live in The Villages when they were retired. I think I'd like to do the same. I'm in my early 40's so hopefully I still have some more time left here!
Thanks for watching!
What a great video. Your message is well received. It makes me feel young again.
Sweet😎
Thanks for sharing. I'm headed to The Villages in a few weeks to see my Mom.
Have fun!
Good job ur looking and Working . 2/12 I was in a Hawaiian hospital for a month . The PT lady in front of 5 others said u travel Solo I'll be happy to Go with U. Be Happy and make $$$ ..ALOHA
I lived in Hawaii for almost 5 years. Both of my children were born in there Mahalo
Actually, it's pretty easy to spot a glow in the dark golf ball. I once designed a golf ball with a homing device. I just couldn't get the PGA to accept the design as legal.
Nice. Did you know the balls will go dormant after they sit for a little bit. Sometimes we lost a few because the light stopped flashing.
buying a single concert ticket is great...I once was in Front Row of Eddie Money...concert was amazing.
My best friend bought us tickets to see Bon Jovi FRONT ROW when they played in Alllentown, where I was living, it was amazing. She told me best money she ever spent watching me lose my mind then they started playing. LOL.
@@Robyncavallaro Hi what kinda motorcycle do you own ?
@@ThePerfectSeason1972 Triumph America
Love your video! Never knew all the things u could do there . U sounds similar to me when I was single , I still don’t mind go out by my self .
Exactly!!
Thanks for the video it's really encouraging me not to worry about being single i will be moving down to west palm beach soon and really don't know where to join
Best of luck!
I'm 47 divorced and living in New Port Richey FL. I'm a Army Veteran and I'm just chilling. I wake up in the morning, have my cup of coffee and feed the ducks at my lake. As a Retired Army Veteran.. I have nothing but time. If I run into any single Ladies on My Level.. aye, we'll see what happens. 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
My question is how did two men let such a Beautiful woman get away seems like you have a great personality and sense of humor 🌹💐
Thank you. :)
That says volumes about a women in her 50s nothing but good for one thing feminism has created this type of women all over the country .
...you may still have a chance if you get out there James...she's smoking hot
James your comming off to thirsty and needy that's what you call a "SIMP"
@@adamchavez999 OH you think so well I just want to be friends I'm way too old for her to be interested in I've just retired and thinking about what I'm going to do.
I’m single long time and get you. Crazy this video popped up. Maybe the villages is in my future, if so your my go to Robyn
I am 56 & peacefully single for 11 years.
We share similar perspective on the subject.
I watched this, just to listen to you talk & agree with you.
May I most sincerely say you are gloriously radiant ?
I never know what can be said these days.
LOL 😂
Thank you for the compliment 😎
That's your pickup line?
@@GUITARTIME2024 LOL 😂 no line.
Just an observation.
Hello Robyn, I ride as well and also have my Mini Australian Sheppard that rides with me in a Dog Back Pack. I'm 50, looked at the Villages, and it's NOT for people in my age group from what I saw. .....You forgot to mention the upside-down pineapple ....lol
So....
There is a swinger group there?
Upside down pineapple.
I'm turning 67 tomorrow and when I was a kid I grew up in Florida in the summers and since I've retired I've thought about moving there!. But I probably wouldnt be around much so I'm having a hard time paying high rent for something I'm not going to be around much!. I live on thirty acres and cant see any neighbors and I'm not into city life!.
Happy Birthday! We all live very close to one another here in the villages
Awesome, thanx for sharing. Keep it coming 😊
😎😎
I live in Fort Myers and have a tiny condo, but do things on my own and still have fun too! Thanks for the empowerment 😊
You are welcome!
I’m 50 so I’ll see you in 5 years lol. Can’t wait to move there. Looks like so much fun. 😊😊
It is a blast
@@Robyncavallaro I’ll be there when I hit 55 then. Been wanting to for awhile. Hope there are plenty of activities.
You gotta be kinding me. Dating is out of the question. Men look for a date with women their age or older and then check out all the young girls on the dates. I can dance and drink in my home. I am very attractive widow and dated a few jerks. I had a gorgeous husband and we did it all. I don’t need a jerk.
I am so glad for this. It confirm there is no way I would live there. The parties all looked like bingo night ! Enjoy.
Thanks for watching
Bravo Robyn. One of your best videos yet. Thank you!
Thank you
Good for you, great advice about everything ❤
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for the message to women.
We need to empower each other. Thanks for watching
I just found you!
I'm wanting to come see the villages.
I'm 61 and ride a motorcycle!
How awesome would it be to ride with you sometime.
I will be visiting The Villages for the 1st time next week. Can’t wait. A week in an Air BnB. I enjoy being SINGLE and know that I will meet THE ONE when she is on the SAME PATH as me! Playing pickle ball or at the gym or on the golf course! She will be there. In good time….
If you are interested in looking at pre-owned homes let me know.
I’m thinking about The Villages. I will visit sometime in the next year. I’m retiring in 3 years.
Let me know how I can help
Been widowed since 2008 and can’t imagine being with anyone. My life is whatever I make it.
Thanks for watching. Enjoy
Well I live out in a Rural area and I wouldn't have it any other way. Nature is what I enjoy and I wouldn't date anyone but a country loving lady!
