| Making assumptions about girls over 30 Posted: 7/5/2009 12:08:57 PM | You're welcome SpottyJackson. And thank you for the compliment. My mom is in her 60's and often gets mistaken for someone in her 40's, w/ no plastic surgery. I guess in today's society if you look good after a certain age YOU must have had plastic surgery. OI! Talk about expectations after a certain age!  | |

| Making assumptions about girls over 30 Posted: 7/5/2009 12:24:19 PM | | I think its only natural that when people get into their 30s and beyond, they become more nurturing, and tend to want to "settle down." Most people nowadays are partied-out by the time they hit their 30s lol, and it seems like about the right time to start a family. I don't think you're weird for not wanting to. I'll be 33 next month and I've never been married. I have to hear it from my parents all the time when I call lol..."When are you ging to settle down with a nice young girl and give us some more grandkids?" I do plan on getting married and having kids, but I'm not going to jump at the chance if I don't think its going to work out. I can be as picky as I want damnit lol. | |

| Making assumptions about girls over 30 Posted: 7/5/2009 8:10:46 PM | Now, i must be honest here , i do not have a clue as what it being discussed here ? over 30 ?
but had to comment, to oblivion77's take on the subject, Priceless !!! very well said.. and you are so right in your view.
But, if we all spent a little more time to step back and REALLY READ what has been said, then go read it again, maybe just maybe !!! yes i know, not in this life time, that would be just too simple. Now age should not make a difference, young people, over 30, and older all do it.. and some will precieve what most times is not there. regardless of your age. | |

spottyjackson, don't take me the wrong way - I have a cousin (who has a very attractive wife) there in LA. I graduated from Coronado High School in San Diego, so I really do like southern California. I've got a 25th class reunion out there next year, so I can't wait to get back.
Still, it is probably better that I live in northern Indiana and not L.A., or else I'd be spamming your POF e-mail inbox.  | |

| Making assumptions about girls over 30 Posted: 7/5/2009 9:23:02 PM | I'm over 30, don't want kids, and I'm fine with it. I've met plenty of men and women who don't seem to have a problem with it.
Why would you worry about what anyone else thinks? If you're over 30, and happy with your life the way it is, then who cares about anyone else? That's the beauty of getting older. Not worrying so much about what others think anymore. | |

| Making assumptions about girls over 30 Posted: 7/6/2009 8:10:27 AM | No I don't have a NEED for a significant other - that's one of the points of this thread.
People in my life can't wrap their heads around the fact that, wanting to have a guy around to have fun with, is not the same thing as needing a SO. | |

Why bother being on a daing site.
Wait, wait, wait ... the OP did post (emphasis mine):
I'm still happy hanging out with my friends, dating casually and putting most of my energy into my job.
It's all good.  | |
