Over 50s in Tehran.
Making new friends in your fifties, sixties and beyond — retirement, empty nest, new city, new start.
How this lifestyle works
Finding over 50s friends in Tehran.
Later-life friendship often starts after a move, a divorce, retirement or kids leaving home. The fix is the same as at any age: a weekly room with a purpose — walking group, choir, class, volunteer shift, cards night.
Age-specific clubs can feel easier; mixed-age hobby groups work too if the culture respects everyone. Avoid spaces that treat over-50s as fragile or invisible.
