What are the chances of finding love after 60?

There’s a recent study conducted by the University of Bath in the U.K. that discovered that the odds of finding love after 60 are slimmer than the sharpest knife: 1 in 562. Luckily, it seems that these stats apply only if you leave meeting your soulmate to fate.

If you decide to act proactively and take the needed steps to meet new people, you might improve your odds of finding love after 60. As it turns out, researchers would point to 18 factors, including age, physical attractiveness, and location.

As science explained, you might boost your chances of finding love in your 60s if you try new things, such as meeting people through online dating websites or connecting with colleagues and their group of friends. In other words, socializing and making an effort to connect with other people might increase your chances of finding love after 60.

You might want to consider signing up for dance classes in your neighborhood, joining your local gym, and volunteering in your community. There are plenty of community gatherings that could bring you closer to someone you like, such as bingo nights, hiking trips, and even city celebrations.

All these are wonderful opportunities to meet new people, make a couple of friends, and find the love you desire at 60.
