What we’re about
Welcome to The Golden Girls club. This group might be for you if you are a women 50 plus, single, divorced or going through one, widowed or otherwise finding yourself on your own, not ready for Shady Pines yet, and looking to connect with similar women. Maybe you’re done raising your children (and your husband) and they’ve now left home. If you are in need of more friends to get out and do things with on a regular basis and that wasteland of misfits otherwise known as the dating scene isn’t doing it for you anymore, we’ve got you!
I started this group after going through a divorce and finding that I had no desire to date any more or even be around men. Maybe that will change for me in the future but for now I’m enjoying my independence and freedom way too much. On days that were particularly rough The Golden Girls reruns was my go to comfort show. During that time I sought out the company, support and wisdom of women for their naturally intuitive and nurturing energy to help me through a challenging time. And while I have a couple of very dear friends I felt a need to connect with a larger circle of women in my age group to enjoy a richer social life. I am no social butterfly—I’m actually more of an introvert and a bit of a loner—but I feel there’s a need for women in this age group to connect with for support and laughter and as a result the Golden Girls club has been established.
This group is designed to be inclusive and non judgmental; trans and gay women are welcome. All religions, ethnicities, social and economic backgrounds welcome. Support, authenticity, emotional maturity and laughter are the key values of this group. This is not a Golden Girls fan club but rather a group inspired by the philosophy of the close friendships on the show. You don’t need to be single, women with partners are welcome too. And it’s not a requirement but it helps if you like cheesecake. I hope you will join us.
