| | Do men over 50 really want the same?Page 3 of 8 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) | @ capn "most" men over 50 I know are not pigs. If a small amount of them like younger women, that still doesn't make them pigs.
So your Dad and all his friends and all their friends are all pigs. You should get out more. I find this type of talk more prevalent in younger pig men but not most.
Yes you said most but that's still absurd.
Ever think of keeping your tongue inside of your mouth? | |

Gawd, ** some** of you men are RIDICULOUS.
Op is not here to fulfill YOUR fantasies. She's a mature adult who's 52 and she looks bloody fantastic.
STOP being so utterly superficial and unrealistic.
No we're honest. 52...'mature adult'...you don't get it.
Please, you are NOT a guy. My girlfriend is a year older and dresses classy. just because someone is 52 doesn't mean they should turn off the sex appeal. The grandkids might want 'mature'...I want hot. Older women can be extremely attractive and are not over the hill in looks.
As others have said. Get rid of the photos with the grandchildren, etc. It's fine to be a grandma but put forth a more upbeat image. Guys don't want a younger woman, they want vibrant woman. | |

Nope.
Another thing men (and this time women to) over 50 have is patronizing. In the sense that they've lived, as such they know the world. They KNOW. YOU don't. Because your just 30. Read here idiot. Hear that line often enough. "When you get my age..." as if they're freaking 92....
Your ONLY 50. This isnt the 60s anymore, when you were closer to being dead from smoking too much then being alive. 50 is NOTHING, so they should stop acting as if they know everything, and no one else knows nothing.
Unless its a generational thing? The Boomers STILL want to own the world.
Listen bub, I told you don't take offense, so don't. Judge me all you want (you will regardless), but I'm simply stating what I think to be the case. You got relevant arguments besides @all the guys I know arent pigs and the younger ones like you are@, go ahead and put them. I stand by what I said, men 50 and over do NOT for the most part want serious relationships, they want to live the lives they havent lived in 20 years.
And let's not talk about the younger generations. They only have sex on their minds, from watching too much tv. Us as parents REALLY suck for the most part. With all the new "ideas" and "techniques" for raising kids, some people forgot that your kid should be sleeping with anyone at 13, and its YOUR JOB to look over them... | |

Posted: 5/1/2012 7:29:05 AM | The I have lived you haven't stuff is BS. I mention on another tread that some in their 20 are a zillion times smarter than older people.
For you to say most men in their 50 don't want serious relationships is something you can stand by, but is inaccurate. But it is based on your experience, so since you spend all your time with your piggy daddy and all his. and all their piggy friends I'm sure you are an over 50's guys expert. They want the lives they haven't lived for 20 years. Must be nice to know all this.
Do you stand up to older men in the real world or just let them call you tongue boy?
You have daddy issues, I stand by that. | |

Let me just say I havent known a man I couldnt pop his teeth out.
I used my father and his friends as a clear example of retired firemen that I see regularly, truth me I know many more. I could tell you about the guys I know at work. I could tell you about the coffee store where I see 55 y old bub numerous times as the lil 20 y old clerk her phone number. She thanked me once for bailing her out, but I can't be a nice guy all the time. I could tell you about the sorry bunch of engineers at work, I could tell you about the President (well probably EX by now) of Sunlife Financial who had a steady stream of 18 y old (paid by Jean Chretien, ex PM of Canada, ooops did that come out loud and I'm not supposed to know that? Go figure....) that kept entering the Sunlife building while I worked there. I could tell you about cops in my area regularly "patrolling" and socialising way too much on Cegep de Maisonneuve private grounds.\
Do you want me to go on? LOL We'll sleep here.......
I hope I have time to continue this before the timer expires...LOL
Listen, its not a personnal attack or anything. Unless you have something concrete to convince me otherwise, I simply won't believe you. The divorce rate in the states, the main reason behind those divorces (if I trust a poll I saw in the paper, more than 60%, in Quebec at least, are due to a husband cheating on his wife for a younger woman. Didn't specify an age though). From what I have seen so far, a lot of older men just want to bang for their buck, if they're single at that time. If its following an expensive divorce, they probably just want to live a little and not want to jump into a relationship. If they're always been single, well...probably professionnal. But the majority of them (because fo the major gap differences in couples, as released by the gov of Canada yearly Census) tends to prove that older men cheat more on their wives, and hunt younger in a bigger percentage, that women their own age.
Again, I don't CARE if you believe me or provoque me. It's what I believe in. And NO, I won't pop your teeth in; I respect my elders, mouhahaha/ I just dont tell them their right all the time.
That might not be the case with YOU or the people YOU know, but your one guy in one city, just like I am. If our experiences differ its prob because the truth is somewhere in the middle, but...scary no?
Capn I know your post was somewhat tongue outside of cheek as most of yours are but maybe you should take your own advice and
It\s not a 'this is the truth post' its a 'this is what I believe post'. I didnt ask anyone to subscribe, I just state my opinion on it, and LO, everyone wants to tell me how wrong I am LOL. I do NOT care. It's still what I believe, I'm not trying to convince anyone. I stated this, and you subscribe to it or not.
But hey, up until now, you guys have been proving my point admirably....
Crap, 10 posts a day for too much banning LOL. Well, see you tommorrow guys....... | |

Some men in thier 30's are still living this life they lived in thier teens and early 20's and some men in thier 50's have been grown bored of the life they lived in thier 30's and are looking for something a little more meaningful.
I have to wonder just how many men in thier 50's you know besides your dad and his friend. One think is certain. All of us men over 50 were your age once and you have never been our age. Just because you are a new generation it does not mean everthing has changed in the last 20 yrs or so. If you haven't noticed we have also been living during the last 20 yrs as well. Until you have walked a few years in our shoes you do not know what it is like to be a man in your 50's but most of us men in our 50's can still remember what it was like to be a man in his 30's.
Maybe you assume that most men do not learn anything past the age of 30 and life experience counts for nothing. I suppose that does not bode well for your future... you could after all end up becoming your father.
Capn I know your post was somewhat tongue outside of cheek as most of yours are but maybe you should take your own advice and
stop acting as if they know everything, and no one else knows nothing
I could even borrow and expression women like to use when referring to thier age. Doing that some men in thier 50's could be thought of as men in thier 30's with 20 yrs experience. Capn are you a 18 yr old with 14 yrs experience?
As for your quote
Let me just say I havent known a man I couldnt pop his teeth out
You are kind of a skinny guy to make such a bold statement. I don't think even the mouthiest guy in professional boxing ( Floyd Mayweather ) would make such a statement to old has beens like Mike Tyson on Lennox Lewis if they met in the boxing ring or a dark alley - heck I would bet he might even give old George Foreman some respect. | |

Posted: 5/1/2012 8:57:33 AM | OP, I am wondering if you are referring to men you meet here or on other dating sites or men you meet in RL. It can make a difference. However, I am basing that on what I've read in the forums.
My personal experience was that most of my mail, when I had an active profile, was from men close to my own age. Of those, the ones I met in person, were decent men who were interested in meeting women their own age. The men I have met in RL were also near to my age. So, my experience is that there was not a problem meeting men in their 50's.
And you look great. I have a friend who is 47 and has a short, sassy hair cut. She looks great, has a good figure, a happy attitude and has no problem attracting men.
My last two wives were each approx 15 years my junior, the others my age. LOL

So you are the toughest guy around. Really cool on a forum.
You could go on all day about the umpteen examples that prove your point. I have not noticed that most men in thier 50's are pigs but I will agree with you that all the men your dad knows and all the firemen lol and all your examples are so funny. Please tell us more it's all based on your Daddy issues.
Whats with all the elders stuff? Who cares. this is about how naive you are. More Daddy issues?
I'm really into boxing and always was and don't ever remember popping any ones teeth in.
Could you give us a ball park as to how many people's teeth you have popped in?
"haven't known a man whose teeth I couldn't pop in." That's so funny and shows what a clown you are. | |

Posted: 5/1/2012 9:12:27 AM | Look at history.
Men have almost ALWAYS been matched up with women younger than they are. In fact there was a time when a man couldn't even think about marriage until he finished his journeyman phase of his training and had himself established in his trade (age 30 minimum). And then he was often married to a girl barely into puberty (15-16 years old sometimes).
This is actually biological. A woman can bear children reliably up to about 35. With severe risk up to 40 or 45. But a man can father children much much older than that.
Some men feel that they need to be older than their woman. Makes them feel more manly, more in control. Again, this is actually biological. It is in the way men are hardwired. So yeah, expect alot of men to be looking for a woman a few years, or even alot of years younger than they are.
that being said, my wife of 18 years is about a year older than I am. And the lady I am dating now is almost 2 years older than I am. So some men like em about the same age, even a little older. But even I would have trouble connecting with a woman more than 5 years older than me, maybe 10 years at the absolute most. Not saying it couldn't happen, just would not be easy. | |

That was a minutia of any society. Average age of first marriages for men and women in western societies has never been higher than today....close to 30. Most people, males and females, use to marry in their late teens or early 20's until recent times. | |

Posted: 5/1/2012 2:50:58 PM | For men selecting a mate is primarily based on physical attraction, not what you have in common. Age does not matter if they are attracted. You could be older and it wouldn't matter but generally youth translates to physical attraction. You are not having luck with some men because of this ... to prove it simply send messages to men you don't find attractive.. and you will see most will reply with interest since they find you attractive.
One thing you can control to attract men is longer hair. Down to the shoulder or at the very least the chin line. This is something you can control. This will attract a few more men.
Of course for long term happiness you need intellectual and personal compatibility and since you are a high school graduate some educated men will unfairly judge you as being intellectually incompatible quickly. Education does not determine intellect but it is a pretty good guideline. So if you messaging educated, successful men many will look to see what your level of education is. If they find you attractive they will get to know you to see if that is the case. If they are not attracted they will not bother. | |

Posted: 5/1/2012 3:23:18 PM | Well OP, since you are new to dating sites, let me share my view of the skinny on them.
There is just about every kind of man or woman on here. The smart, the stupid, the tall, the short, the heavy, the skinny, the religious, the irreligious, the happy, the angry, the sad, the joyful to name but a few.
The one thing they all have in common, as will you, is few approach dating the exact same way. Some are reasonable, some are deluded, and as such there is no unique answer to your question.
I myself date down 8, and up 6 years, not a hard and fast rule, more of a guideline. My experience has taught me, this works best for me. I have had first contacts from a 67 and 69 year old, I have also had contacts from a 29 and 2 35 year olds. Matter of fact, considering I have been here on and off for almost 4 years, dated more than 60 women. I can reasonably state, I have been contacted by almost every age from 29 to 70!
"I don't get it!"
Nor will you ever get it! Why do men over 50 want 30-40 year olds? Your guess is as good as mine, to relive their younger days, for sex, because they find them more attractive, because they want kids or worse MORE kids.
I could flip the script on you, and ask why 50 year old women want guys 1 year older than themselves but will go down 20 years "because people tell me how young I look", or sex, or they believe they are more active...whatever the reasons are.
We can delve into the number of women who complain every guy over 40 has ED. Or that many assert they are broke or homeless, or just plain crazy.
"we don't seem to connect"
Ahhh...there it is!
This is merely a shopping mall of sorts..you get to peek in the window and apply for a job as a potential dater of that particular vendor. Then unfortunately it is up to said vendor to assess you against what he prefers or is looking for. There is no limit to the number of lame excuses for not dating you, any more than there is for the same thing happening to men.
If you read the forums, I think you will see a vast number of smart, attractive, interesting men and women. You may note some of us have been here for several years. I doubt this is out of choice. If you consistently read their posts, you will see many of them as reasonable. Some have given up on dating from here and only post now.
"BUT"....every once and a while, we see someone have success. They meet that special someone, and either stay and post or leave and live. All you can do is control your own actions. Write a few people, date a few and see what happens. Please don't worry or concern yourself with those that frustrate you or fail to connect...it is a vast waste of your time and energy. Do some things IRL, enjoy the forums and most of all enjoy the dates..we only pass this way once ya know!
edit to add: oh and to give it to you from a guys perspective on what we sometimes get!
Welcome back rising mist...otterplay...willow whatever..check out that posting history. | |

Posted: 5/1/2012 4:15:15 PM | I have grown weary of the high school graduate crowd who damand sex within seconds of talking
So are men who are between the ages of 27 and 40 and over 6ft tall and not overweight more or less likely to do this than the people who do not meet the criteria you have listed on your profile?
I think all of us who graduated high school could be considered to be in the "high school graduate crowd". But I would imagine some men in thier late 20''s would feel a stronger connection to thier high school days than a man your age or older.
Willow your introductory paragraph in the about me section of your profile is one of the most negative I have read. . There may be a prize for that.
So how did all those men get your phone number anyway.
BTW you spelled pallid wrong and I think you really meant flaccid...
Pallid - 1. Having an abnormally pale or wan complexion: the pallid face of the invalid.
2. Lacking intensity of color or luminousness.
3. Lacking in radiance or vitality; dull
are you sure you have a masters degree unless this is your subtle way of looking for a man with a shiny dark penis. I do believe I knew the differnce between pallid and flaccid when I was in high school. | |

I'm new to dating sites and am starting to question whether men over 50 really want a women over 50 or do they have unrealistic expectations of finding a 30 - 40 year old?
I haven't read any of the replies yet. And I can only write/speak for myself. I prefer a woman over 50. We would have grown up in the same era with similar values and tastes in movies, music, and everything else in between. That and, with me being over 50 myself, I find women over 50 much sexier. In their attitude, the way they dress and (almost) everything else in between. But that's me. | |

| Do men over 50 really want the same?
Posted: 5/1/2012 7:36:23 PM | | At any stage in life, some men prefer women near their own age, while others do not. Personally, I like to be with women who are reasonably close to my own age, because we have life experiences in common; but I also want a woman who thinks, feels and acts youthful -- not trying to be younger than she actually is, but with the attitude that getting older does not have to mean getting OLD. A woman around my age (I'm 62) or even older who still harbors an "inner teenager from the 60s" is ideal for me; but if forced to choose between a woman near my age who has "gotten old" inside and a woman a few years younger who thinks, feels and acts "young". I will choose the younger woman every time. | |

This is actually biological. A woman can bear children reliably up to about 35. With severe risk up to 40 or 45. But a man can father children much much older than that. This is archaic thinking. In modern times, women do not need an older, financially secure man to look after them. They can look after themselves and do. As well, women in their 40's are now, due to modern science, having healthy babies, and people are living far longer than they used to, so will be around, and be healthy, to raise these children. Things are very different now than they were before. Assuming that mating is going to be the way it was in the past is using thinking that no longer applies. As well, statistics show that in the US and around the world, about 90% of couples who marry are within 5 years of age of each other. The statistics are there to prove that. Few women are marrying men 20 or 30 or even 10 or 15 years older. That is PROVEN by statistics in countries all over the world, including Asia and the Middle East. | |

And those in the 50 -60 year old range have let themselves go, way over weight not even close to height and weight proportional, and look like 100 miles of bad road. I do prefer to date someone my age give or take 2 or 3 years. I take care of my self psychically and mentally and would like to meet someone who does the same. | |

Posted: 5/4/2012 9:11:38 AM | | My dad talks to me a lot about the women he's interested in and he is 57 this year. I know that he looks for women in is age range, he says "yes, there is and age limit for me." So I guess there are men out there that don't just chase women 20 years their junior, just have to be patient! | |
