I don't need a lecture on the ways of the all mighty forums. I have been in the dating forums over two years. I have seen all types..........the know it alls, the if you don' t think like me you are not s**t people, the I will just agree to make friends people, and so on and so on.
I would guess during the past two years on the forum you might have seen a post or two on not settling. Kind of a popular topic. Sort of the same responses the topic normally brings. Yup. Not much I can add I guess. Time to check out another post. | |

Posted: 11/20/2008 5:07:04 PM | I actually think my standards have gotten higher w/ age!!
There are definately things I won't deal with now that I dealt with in my younger years.
and I got a kick out of the poster that said the sex offers were there from 16 - 35 and then end....
this was based on what?
Definately not the over 35 yr old women here.....have u looked at some of these chicks.....there are some of the hottest 40some yr olds at this place!
Offers of sex aren't the problem..... | |

BigDaddyJinx, perception in the forums is a real b***h. Just because YOU felt like my "knickers" are in a knot does not mean they are. I have very right just like yourself to ask a question and listen to the replies. I am not quit sure if you are always slamming people or preaching or if that is just my perception. Either way its okay. We don't have to agree, but I still have the right to ask the questions I choose to.

There are all kinds and that makes the forums interesting.
Kirota -- only preachers, preach. Only slammers, slam. Those with blinders on have distorted perception.
I will say thanks for validating my points perfectly though.  | |

Posted: 11/20/2008 5:27:56 PM | | Hopefully with age comes widom. When I was twenty I was only attracted to tall dark, handsom with a full head of wavy black hair and arms that could lift a V. W. I even dated a few. The man I fell in love with was quite the oppoite. Im not saying that I may not take a good long look at Mr. Goodbody but I know what is much more important. Did I settle? NO WAY! I had a man that treated me better than any one before. As we age looks change ...usually not for the better, but for the most part, character improves. A pretty package may get your attention but its whats inside thats important. Now the first thing I look for is a man with RESPECT ..............for me. for the people he meets in daily life and very importantly for himself. | |

Posted: 11/20/2008 5:53:26 PM | If you don't think you have to lower your standards (Or adjust them as someone put it), then you must not be talking about physical standards. I don't see any reason why someone should have to settle for a person that isn't beautiful on the inside, but as time goes on, you've got to be realistic with yourself when it comes to other areas. I know for a fact that I am never going to date women with the physical beauty of the women I dated when I was younger (and had more hair on my head and less on my back.  ) However, I do still have reasonable standards that I am happy with... and able to meet.
Maintaining reasonable standards is what a lot of people are unable to do. You'd be surprised how many 60 year old women have propositioned me for intimate encounters... It's ridiculous. I'm attracted to young people, too, but I don't presume the reverse is true and make an ass of myself. Paying a compliment is something entirely different. | |

I guess some women assume that if you're a guy you'll f uck anything with a hole ?
I think the older you get the more you realize how overrated outer beauty is while not settling for bullshite and games that some women continue to play into their older years. Seriously, playing games like " hard to get " and trying not to look "desperate" by showing interest ? Grow up and quit wasting precious TIME. | |

Posted: 11/20/2008 6:53:02 PM | | I don't believe that I have ever 'lowered my standards' for anyone!! I have always had an image in mind, of the person who would be at my side and I achieved that! My likes and dislikes may have changed over the years and I have also tried not to be judgemental in my selections! To some that may seem like vacillating - but I have come out the other side - happy and content! | |

Posted: 11/20/2008 6:55:35 PM | I live like I always have, no concessions here for age.
Wait....scratch that I live better now , cause I'm in much better shape financially and I finally have all my shyt together emotionally and otherwise.
My forties just ROCK.
Settle, be damned  | |

 This poster said almost everything that I was going to say. I'm not saying that I am the hottest thing in town, but I do get offers from young men...I don't take them up because I prefer men over boys, but my point is that one is no longer "washed up" after 35, especially women. Standards have gotten higher, and many of us are content with being alone as opposed to "settling".  | |

Posted: 11/20/2008 11:12:58 PM | I myself would much rather be alone than be with someone that I just settled for.
And thus the whole world of men is forever thankfully saved from having to have anything to do with yet another insufferable, odious female person which few if any could care less about to begin with.
I've gotten more selective with age - in my youth I wasn't selective enough
Yes, women do have a tendency to do things exactly backwards. Which is yet another good reason for guys to only bother with the young hotties. Not only are they young and hot, but they're so much more "adventurous" (aka "easier") to boot.
It also has the advantage of leaving the supercilious who are more than half way to hagdom to revel in their aloneness.

Well according to this poster i am more than half way to hagdom and looking forward to revelling in aloneness...haha that's a bit of a joke considering the amount of emails i got when i was single and my profile was visible .. . Funny he's the same age as me but doesn't appear to think he's deteriorating. Karma's a b1tch mr colonel, just don't come running to us more tolerant "older" ladies when you cant get it up anymore | |

Yep...so get your kicks while you can, because you'll get traded up quickly as a year or two passes. Thanks tho, you leave us the younger, hotter men. Everyone wins! It's nice to see no downside to all of this...from my perspective, anyway.

Men will end up alone too....or pay a high price for companionship. What's the male word for hag? Sucks that women are fine with being alone, I guess. Men? Not so much I gather...or they wouldn't comment on any of this, since it doesn't concern them anyway (or so they keep saying). | |

Posted: 11/21/2008 4:58:25 AM | No way I ever lower my standards..Those are what I am looking for, what I want in a women..
Mainly my "standards ", based on how the women should relate to my young daughter, so, how can I lower that?
End up alone? Well, if that's what's in my future, then let it be?
Would anyone rather be married/in relationship with someone he/she doesn't really like? | |

Posted: 11/21/2008 5:17:34 AM | If women are fine being alone then why are they still out looking for us men when they get older and why do they sound so bitter and complain about not being able to find one of us males? Actually I always thought a person's standards got higher not lower with age. I know several 40 something year old ladies that are looking for millionaires.. By the way these 40 something year old ladies that I know are very attractive, why they can't find one is beyond me. But of course I am always around when they need some "attention" or some" help." Your standards should go up when you get older, not down.  | |

Posted: 11/21/2008 5:46:30 AM | It really depends on what your standards were when you were young-maybe they were always unrealistic, and as you aged you began to see that? Or perhaps they were only realistic while you were younger?
My standards never had anything to do with looks, age or money. I wont bend on them either. My standards are about walking the walk, not talking the talk. Being responsible for your actions and accepting consequences. My standards are the difference between men and little boys. In fact, I think I have become more picky as I age, because I have been exposed to more things now, that I know I dont like, nor ever will. I wont settle on the treatment of others, leading by good example, being honest, or having integrity.
If your 'standards' are superficial, yeah, as you age, you may have to lower them...unless you change your target group to those of younger people. | |

I have to disagree with you deerdog1. As we get older there are more women than men left. Go into any nursing home the majority are women, because of war and illness men don't last as long.
So by the time you reach the age of 65 pickings are slim to none. You gotta learn to love yourself and be happy with yourself. That's life
It is an Honor to have you disagree with me ..technically you are right ..there are more women than men when we get older ..but I would hope you just want one ...the bag limit is one and with all the people in this world ..any of us should be able to bag just one ..no matter how old we are | |

This coming from a man that thinks his only talent comes from his penis.......lmao. It really doesn't matter if you could careless about me or not, the fact that you don't makes me feel better knowing I have just pulled one more weed from the garden. | |

Posted: 11/21/2008 8:00:59 AM | Msg 44 (dare I bother addressing a post from you at all...ok I'll do it for those who think like you do)...women who complain they can't find men, women who look for certain men, and women who don't care if they stay single are DIFFERENT GROUPS OF WOMEN.
Just wanted to clarify that misconception, again. | |
