I agree with c_deacon that the physical state of a potential partner has a lot to do with acceptance as a romantic interest. Women fall in love with men because of their minds, hearts, and personalities. At least I do. Looks and everything else are secondary. | |

When it comes to love, men are the same. Initial attraction, however, has not got much to do with love. | |

If you meet and get to know someone on line, or get to know them because you encounter them regularly in RL, the initial attraction is not an issue. If I meet someone in real life, but am not particularly attracted to his physical presence, as I get to know him, I may fall in love with the man, then he becomes attractive. The same type of thing can happen meeting someone online. I have met men on line, a couple of times, who, by their pictures, were not very attractive, but who I liked very, very much when getting to know them, to the point that the looks just were not an issue. Unfortunately, both are very far away from me. | |

Posted: 4/29/2009 11:50:07 AM | It is hard to believe my experiences are thought to be so unusual. The same sort of thing happens quite frequently, not only to me personally, but to a few other men I know. Women appear to be drawn to men who are funny, appreciate their company and are genuinely interested in them. That is why I find it so productive to get out into the world to meet new women in person. The internet has been almost, but not entirely, a total bust for me.
Speaking of busts, those of both of the two younger women were 100% natural, not surgical implants. They were competing with one another for my attention with cleavage displays and in other ways, just as women compete with one another for men at bars and clubs. So what is unusual about that? Needless to say, I had no interest in investigating the anatomy of the older woman who was asexual to me although I enjoyed a couple of nice conversations with her. | |

Posted: 4/29/2009 12:49:14 PM | Regretfully, I won't be able to participate in the training/certification program fellas. The life savers I possess would be best suited for a kiddie pool, as they would be useless in a true life and death situation. If one were to depend upon these flotation devices as their only means of avoiding drowning, they would soon find themselves in Davey Jones Locker! The sharks would love it though! You buoys would be fishfood for sure!
Gaddflye....while I may show interest in a man I find appealing, I have not and will not compete for anyone's attention. They're either interested back or not. *Looks down* and most definitely have not ever competed in a cleavage war, lol.
OT....at the grocery store today, had 2 men be a bit flirtatious with me. One appeared to be pushing 60, and the other 30ish. I don't even hardly ever see 40 something men out and about, they all hiding? | |

Well, they are typically at the office struggling to improve their career prospects in order to be able to pay child support and maintenance, along with mortgages on both the house they lost in the divorce and the new one they had to buy so they and the kids have a place to sleep when they come to visit every second weekend..... | |

Posted: 4/29/2009 2:15:56 PM | Rearguard2, don't paint us all with the same brush, I was a first time home owner AFTER the divorce, and no, I didn't get a red cent, there was nothing to settle. If I had stayed with him, we'd all be living on the street. Nor did the ex go out and get a place to have the kids spend the night, he never wanted them to spend the night.
Sure I realize this is the case with SOME 40 something year old men, just as it's the reverse with SOME of us women. I'm certainly not going to judge every man based on the ex hubby, that would be silly. | |

Posted: 4/29/2009 3:05:57 PM | I have been divorced for 6yrs and I'm now 50yrs old. I wouldn't date anything but women in there 40s. There the best!!!
There more realistic about life. They now what thy want. They have learned life's lessons. And I think they have a much better understanding of men.
Why would I ever want to date some young girl. I could just see it. Being woke up some night and being asked (so what cha thinking) Uh!! Don't need that shit...
And women in there forty's just seem to have a passion for life. | |

Posted: 4/29/2009 3:30:25 PM | Irish, While the research positions have been taken..I am sure we can find you a spot as an approved on site inspector, who could provide re-certification exams as well as spot checks for compliance reviews ( suprise inspections) onboard cruise vessels.
Well Miss buckeye, I think in your case perhaps flotation wouldn't especially be an issue as your fitness would certianly overcome any self-percieved floatation shortcomings. I am sure the quality of your rescue technique would indeed be quite useful well outside of the kiddie pool. There is always the occasional hot tub rescue to be performed 
"OT....at the grocery store today, had 2 men be a bit flirtatious with me. One appeared to be pushing 60, and the other 30ish. I don't even hardly ever see 40 something men out and about, they all hiding? "
I wasn't hiding .. You couldnt see me I was in a 8' deep ditch today since one of our laborers called in sick and I had non one else to cover for him. Let me ask you this ..was this 30ish looking guy about 5'7" with brown hair and wearing glasses? If so he may have to see if that store is hiring..lol. | |

Posted: 4/29/2009 7:20:34 PM | | Hmmmm...suprise inspections....as long as no one screams rape..I'm all for it!!! And I feel that multiple re-cert "exams" are vital to the research of said "life saving" endevors!!! | |

Aww Mae you must have missed the line about exeptions being made.. and I think your exceptional.
...Thank-you *smiles*

...Oh sure, I have probably put on one or two pounds over the years....ok, ok maybe a little closer to 10 lbs  but seriously, I really do try to maintain a healthy lifestyle and remain relatively active....it only makes sense that I would want that in a partner as well.

Posted: 4/29/2009 8:15:27 PM | Oy! No bugsbro, I was keeping in spirit with the latest posts. The fact is that I'm not the biggest gal around, and that includes flotation devices.
Hell, now everyone is going to start on the fruit thing, lol. BTW, no one had ever referred to my chesticles as melons, lol. I'd tip over if they were melon sized.
OT....hmmmm, I'll have to come back to it, I'm wanting a fruit salad right now. | |

Posted: 4/29/2009 8:16:49 PM | You see Irish I thought you might find that a much more appealing than basic research.. I figured you for a hands on in the field kind of guy..lol.
Oh and Mr. Levi will be getting you your badge for identification purposes. | |

Posted: 4/30/2009 2:52:22 PM | Sorry I wont be starting on the fruit thing I am still working on my proposal for my research grant fo rflotation devices.. You know how much paperwork there is for one of those things??
OT .. What was the topic again?? | |

Posted: 4/30/2009 3:40:36 PM | Mr. Not,
The topic as I remember is: whether or not men in their 40's are attracted to the mellons of women in their 40's....and I believe that the research we will be performing will be valuable not only in the saving of lives...but, in addition, bringing back the sexes, in an age appropriate manner...helping women who's breasts are 40ish....feel more attractive...and men in their 40's see said breasts for what they are...life saving apparati...and hopefully women seeing the amorous looks in said 40 something mens eyes will then realise...that 40 something men ain't so bad either... | |

Posted: 5/1/2009 6:34:03 AM | | I'm your age, and I agree. Sometimes the younger ones are looking for someone with money or sexual experience. Sometimes the older ones are lonely. Sometimes men in their 40s seem to be into work, sports and fitness, or are in denial about getting older and need a young hottie for their ego. Or are spending weekends being dads, which is good. I don't know, but we might just have to increase our age range preferences! | |

Posted: 5/1/2009 1:34:13 PM | thank-you for the reminder Mr Irish..lol. And very well said indeed.
"Ha! Ok bugsbro, I was thinking bb was referring to something else. It's all notdesper8, levi, and 2irish's fault that my mind went there....tsk, tsk, tsk boys! "
Aww Miss Buckeye as I recall .. Oh nevermind .. go ahead I will accept the blame. Even in my 40's I still have my broad shoulders ( or are they melons now I dont know anymore) to bear the weight of it all.
Back OT. Some of us men in our forties still greatly admire the opposite sex in the same age range. But we still have eyes that admire all ages of women, but this guy will only be involved in a any relationship with those in my own age group. | |

Posted: 5/2/2009 6:11:47 PM |  The problem with ladies over 40 is that they want a tall, great lookin men and ignore the short and ugly ones...  All the good men have been burn so badly so many time that we just arfe out of the maket!!  | |
|

Posted: 5/2/2009 6:36:06 PM | | The men aged 40-60 seem to all want a tall, great looking younger woman. It is a wonder to me that anyone ever meets and has a relationship, as we who are shorter and/or not typically gorgeous seem to be ignored except for the men who are much younger who think that older women are desperate for casual sex. | |
