| Do Men in their 40's Want a relationship, YES A RELATIONSHIP ? A real One !!! Posted: 7/13/2009 2:17:11 AM |
Fair enough, tone is a difficult thing to communicate with only text and it is often misinterpreted
mis interpreted way to easy in the forums so it seems.... maybe instead of trying to put a "tone" to it.. being the written word... maybe it should just be read as it is.. not attempting to read between the lines or add ones individual connotations to it.
maybe thats where some go wrong when putting so much empathasis onto "relation ships" adding their own connotations and not just accepting someone as they are while u are both getting to know each other and to see if there is a basis for anything to form into something more . It all takes time but I suppose with the world we live in.. everyone is in a rush and appear to want it all now. ( note: there is no tone included in the above transcript) | |

| Do Men in their 40's Want a relationship, YES A RELATIONSHIP ? A real One !!! Posted: 7/16/2009 5:36:11 AM | Failing to see the point of this thread anymore, how is complaining about men or his friend going to attract him to you?
You may want to check out a few of the women's profiles so you see how you appear to other members, and not just a few off the forums that catch your eye, actually do a bit of serious research!
Most women seem to have an "ideal" mate already in mind, the "Alpha male", yet they have failed to ask themselves what an alpha male would be doing here instead of with their own clique? Are they searching for faulty goods maybe? Furthermore, these very same women will complain nonstop about the evils of patriarch, yet who is their favourite "ideal" mate? A movie star, rock star or sports star, an "Alpha male" the epitome of the patriarch! It's hilarious to clearly see how wrapped around his fat finger the Alpha male has you.
OP, you might also want to consider a name change as the login "*PookieDoesPerth*" may be misconstrue to a complete stranger! | |

| Do Men in their 40's Want a relationship, YES A RELATIONSHIP ? A real One !!! Posted: 7/16/2009 9:52:21 PM | | Women are just more on the alert for the' patroniser ', the'ladies man' , the****of the walk bloke .. oh the list goes on . In short we can't be as easily fooled as once we were .We need sex , at last we don't have to pretend that somehow we are vestal virgins but NOT if we suspect we will pay too high a price . I think that once upon a time , women were grateful to have 'found' a man and did somehow fool themselves that there WAS such a thing as 'happily ever after ' . Now we know it ain't necessarily so . | |

Posted: 7/18/2009 12:32:22 AM | | lets face it most men over 40 just want a fling, it is a case of not ex it a case of next, it is like a notch on their belt or something, and i cant understand that, in twenty years time they are only going to wind up as very lonely old men, but by their immature behaviour they seem to have given all of us genuine men a bad name, and for that i apologise, we are not all doing the same thing. | |

I know we all have historical, traditional examples in our minds.... many are trying to escape those....
I'm sure my parents had a real relationship..... though I don't think that example would be the model I would hope to acheive now ....
isn't a real one the one you're in?... the one you start and work out along the way?
looking back... all my relationships were different in many ways.... every women had different ideals and norms... | |

After reading all the posts twice, the general consensus seems to be either, men in their forties, just want a shag, and/or just are not into having a relationship with someone. This is only an observation on comments posted here.
To provide an answer to the OP's original statement, as a basis for myself, I do indeed would like a relationship, and long term with a lady, yes even though I've hit the 40 mark. Whether this happens or not, I haven't the foggiest, only time will tell.
For me, if I was only after a shag, Id join other appropriate sites, or my listing on my profile would be different. Dating, finding someone to be involved with in your life for a long period of time, a relationship, call it what you will, is very much and highly a personal preference for me.
As stated earlier, we are all on here for different reasons (Talk, Forums, Hang out, Friendships, Long Term, etc) . So for those of us looking, our *search* for someone is limited to within those parameters of *our* choices.
This is narrowed down even further, by looking for someone that has similar values, beliefs, morals, aspirations, so yes *dating* does seem to be viewed as a lottery.
It may seem, at times like an insurmountable task, and yes Im sure, we have a few bad occasions, not so great dates and wonder if it is worth it at all. It is alot about the journey sometimes, rather than the destination.
Pookie, keep your chin up and keep looking. If it's not working for you, take a break, enjoy other pursuits and activities for a period and then come *back* to the dating, sometimes a break is what is required to refresh and recharge the batteries.
Do men in their 40s want a relationship ? They may be few, but Im sure there are...
