Posted: 8/14/2009 1:18:43 PM | I'm looking at Msg 54 and am stunned at the level of anal retentiveness some here exhibit.
Was it just me, or did others scroll back to Msg. 54 and breath a sigh
of relief when you realized it wasn't something you said?
I agree with the poster that said something like I forget but anyways it
was better to have a woman that acted like a girl rather than a girl that
acted like a woman...or maybe that was on another thread...I have no
clue.
I'd rather meet someone on their forties that thinks they're still in their 20's than someone who thinks they're already in their 60's.....
I decided to look for it after all...jeepers...I wasn't even close.

If you'll read my OP in its entirety and my subsequent comments, you'll see how many are taking one of several points completely out of context and running with it.
as i said to someone else on another thread earlier this week...
you don't get to dictate how others interpret or respond to your threads.
YOU implied that women over 45 SHOULD act a certain way.
at this age, most of us have earned the way to act the way we want.
and, yes, you would still be a "random stranger" even if i agreed with what you were saying. that applies to everyone that i don't correspond with off-forum or have met IRL. | |

That is obvious. It's just interesting to see how one comment about having pictures taken in bars has everyone frothing. I'm merely stating a trend I've observed with many (by no means all) women my age, and wondered if anyone else had noticed it too. And contrary to my many protestations otherwise (even in my OP), most of the posters to this thread think I'm some sort of a killjoy.
I've re-read my OP, and I will admit the title is (slightly) purposefully provocative, it is for the purposes of hyperbole only. The body of the OP has no such imperatives, only indicatives and opinion.
People can interpret the thread how they chose, but their choices are somewhat telling. | |

OP- Attack the argument not the person? You really don't have an argument- just an opinion based on your own projections and judgements of some women's profiles.
Touché. It would have been more correct for me to say, "attack the observation, not the observer." | |

Posted: 8/14/2009 3:06:41 PM | | I still like flirting, looking sexy and feeling like a woman. Yeah for all these women on here that still feel like I do. Just because I am older doesn't mean I am ready to hang it up. I like my men sexy, fun and living life to the fullest....I would rather spend a weekend back packing and floating than sitting at home waiting for something exciting to happen...like my neighbor getting new siding. So live, love and and let other's be who they are going to be.....while your sitting on the couch congratulating yourself for much maturity and level headiness I will be out dancing under the stars, skinny dipping, eating burnt marshmallows and loving..... | |

Posted: 8/14/2009 4:18:49 PM | | To the OP, what about the men in the 45+ age group who have pics in which they are participating in motocross or skateboarding? I admit that I find that a bit immature, but it also shows they are adventurous and (probably) not a couch potato. So these pictures are not entirely a negative... | |

Posted: 8/14/2009 5:48:39 PM | #106, I never said nor meant to imply the pictures in and of themselves were negative. I still know how to have a good time and also appreciate those who do, regardless of what others might write about me.
I'm all for adventure and fun, which hopefully we can enjoy at any age.
I think I'm gonna stop trying to 'splain myself and just let people throw rocks at me. I can take it.

Posted: 8/14/2009 6:01:06 PM | | I am much less concerned about what people are doing in the pictures they have posted than I am about those who refuse to post ANY pictures at all. There is no way of knowing that anything they say about themselves in their profile or the forums has a hope of being on the up and up. | |

Posted: 8/14/2009 6:13:35 PM | Hi sheepdog, my post was just an attempt to point out that men sometimes do the same thing re pics of them doing "younger" activities. In no way was I meaning it as a mudslinging jab!!

I guess it depends. If someone's profile clearly states he or she is here only for the forums, what difference does it make if the person has a picture up?
Or, perhaps the person's line of work is such that it would be a bad idea to post a picture. | |

Posted: 8/15/2009 9:10:23 AM | | strollinbella, no offense was taken at your message. You made a valid point. It's just I have this obsessive need to explain myself, which I really need to get under control (mostly joking). | |
