I'm a solo woman RVer in a station wagon.  There are lots of older citizens at your local Sr Ctr which often has lunches.  Another place our single seniors meet is for morning walks inside the mall.  And the casinos are great for overnight parking and they usually have senior days.
 
I have not met many men to date on the road. I don't know why. Even just at a restaurant or concert I am alone and hardly anyone strikes up a conversation with me.
Do they think I am "taken"?
Maybe I'm ugly?
I know I am getting older but I always thought I was somewhat pretty.
My husband died with no money.
Single mom, then in a long relationship where he was a lieing narcissist. I was taken advantage of so now guarded and need to really get to know the person before I can trust. Common I think in a world of takers...it's draining to keep your wits about you all the time with no one having your back

I was strong and able all my life but starting to feel week, lonely and lost and this weak person is not me.
I'm tired of doing everything by myself.
Hope its just a phase and I get my mojo and strength back.
 
^^^ I think many men are somewhat intimidated by independent, strong, self sufficient women. It seems to make some feel "they arent needed" in what they feel is their thing or role.

I think capable women are pretty awesome, but most women Ive met arent into the same general lifestyle as I have been (log cabins, mountains, self employed, very rural living etc). Oh well. Now, Im getting slightly more civilized, and realize theres women that like doing some of what I did years ago.
 
More solo women then men?  Where pray tell? I see a lot more men solo travellers. HoboJoe
 
Be clean, neat, sober, ready to laugh and smile and also hold a two way conversation. Be self supporting, not overly opinionated or at least don't push your opinions out on someones head at every opportunity. Have enough self confidence that you don't go around trying to "prove yourself" to everyone. Do thoughtful things for others.

If you are that kind of person you don't have to worry about finding friends, they will find you and they will stick around a lot longer.

Realize that you don't need to meet "the love of your life" to have a relationship that brings many happy days of great companionship.
