Boomer Social Networking Philosophy

2007-10-12T00:16:00.000-04:00

For men looking to network, there are 100's of websites that target the baby boomer generation, and each provides unique content, although there are not many male only international social networks. The founders of the Silver Fox Society want visitors to know that's why we're here and that's what makes us different. Here's our philosophy.

Our number one goal is expert member to member quality information that is exclusive and free to download. People go online for information. Mature men have a wealth of information.

I once heard of an ebook on "How to Raise Chickens" and after you paid and downloaded the PDF the only expert advice was buy chickens, put the chickens in a cage, and feed the chickens. The story was second hand and likely exaggerated to make a point, but horror stories are not new to the Internet.

People do not want to be scammed! Men want quality information, and it's appreciated more when it's free. They have valuable information to share and we provide an outlet for them to feel useful beyond retirement, so we encourage members to provide quality how-to and do-it-yourself advice. Visit or join our forum to learn more.

How-To Videos With Advice for Mature Men

2007-10-02T08:35:00.000-04:00

We're considering adding some how-to and do-it-yourself videos for mature men to our Silver Fox Society website. These would be loaded to YouTube and linked on our site like this How to Build A Boat video below:

Have you ever considered building a boat? It’s probably a lot easier and less expensive than you thought. You could build a small kayak from a set of free boat plans you can download from the Internet. This boat could be built for about $50 in materials all available from a lumber yard or warehouse home improvement store in a couple of weekends. This is the perfect father-son or grandfather-grandson project that you’ll both remember for a lifetime.

Silver Fox Society Website Kickoff

2007-09-26T21:32:00.000-04:00

We are pleased to announce the kickoff of the newly launched website for the Silver Fox Society, an international network of mature men who enjoy leisure time activities and helping others. There are no age specific requirements except that you must be a male and have at least some gray hair or no hair. Here's our introduction card shown larger than actual size:

The Society includes an online community plus worldwide local clubs organized around certain themes of mutual interest to the members. The organizers of these clubs are given the title Alpha Silver Fox. The Silver Fox Society supports the local clubs with online resources including many free downloadable PDF reports offering advice on topics of interest to mature men. The PDF ebooks and reports are quality original content written by members for members.

Topics include retirement issues, finance, health, eating and drinking, travel, hobbies, recreation, and relationships. There is also an internet discussion forum for members and seniors to exchange ideas on topics of concern to men at or near retirement age.

We encourage inter-club activities across town and across the world. The organization promotes international fellowship among like minded people and our hope is that one day you could literally go anywhere in the world and have friends you haven’t met anxious to meet you in person.

The Silver Fox Society is also built around helping others through charity and assisting neighbors in need. It is up to the local clubs to decide activities whether it means random acts of kindness for local individuals, or drives to support international charities. Clubs can focus on leisure, charity, or both and the local club rules are kept informal.
