| Re: question to the men in the audience Posted: 9/22/2004 11:12:17 AM | I know I've only been here for a short while, but I did'nt just fall off the sidewalk. There seems to be a lot of this stuff (age) going on around here, as well as many other dating sites. So here goes. I would wager that most men are intimidated by most women, period. Age notwithstanding. Madelaina: Remember, most men that are younger than you, grew up in the wake of ERA, and in the process, gave up some of their manhood. I know you know the song "where have all the cowboys gone...."? Well, the cowboys have gotten off the horse. So where does that leave us? In a society filled with f---ed up male psyche. Afraid to open doors, give flowers, talk, have sex, and just generally act human. Again, age has nothing to do with it. When I was younger (emphasis here) I chased older women. I mean come on. Young guy, older woman has been a part of human nature since Portia dragged men into Cleopatras bed chamber. How to fix it? I have no idea. I guess ya'll need to do some male ego stroking. | |

| question to the men in the audience Posted: 9/26/2004 5:38:47 AM | | Maybe it's because they fear being judged inadequate considering the woman's experience. Not just sex I mean, but dating in general, perhaps the guy is woried that he'll always be compared to some past flame constantly and He doesn't want to live in the shadow of a memory. | |

| question to the men in the audience Posted: 9/26/2004 6:27:57 AM | | I get a little shy around a woman if she is beautiful and I like her but dont know her. Getting shot down can be a real let down. Intelligence is a must for me. I dont know, I dont know, over and over drives me nuts. But if I am dating a beautiful intelligent woman. It would be like uh yeah I will talk to you guys later ok lol. | |

| question to the men in the audience Posted: 9/26/2004 7:48:38 AM | | Age has nothing to do, believe me, we men are attracted to a woman first by looks, but can you blame us? At first, looks is the only tangible thing we have, as people tend to let others know only what they want them to know… attractive always intimidate a little, because some of us think we have to be perfect to have a slim chance; and intelligent… intelligent… why spend time talking about unreal things, right? | |

| Re: question to the men in the audience Posted: 9/29/2004 7:13:57 AM | twoshot, your experience is all too familiar. I would go into a club or bar and see this gorgeous female sitting there, alone or with her friends, and all the men staring and drooling. And the comments about how they would like to get in her pants. But not one of them would approach her. She would look around and all eyes would dissappear from her. Then out of nowhere this guy would approach her. Nothing great about him, but she would light up and before the night was out they would leave together. Most others sitting there wondering what this guy had they didn't. I'll tell you. The courage to approach her and take a chance of rejection. Ever hear the sayng, "nothing ventured, nothing gained".
Luckily for me I smartened up, long ago. Sure I got rejected by those who were looking for Mr. Universe but I turned into the guy that was the one I used to envy and wondered what he had I didn't. I'm now 50 and still not afraid to be rejected, on occasion. Whether they are older or younger, I find, makes no difference. If she is in a place, without a male companion, she must be looking for someone to have a good time with. Unless you see a sign posted on her that specifies the types she wants to connect with then, why not you? You should know if you have a personality, sence of humor and something interesting to talk to her about she could be interested in you also. Women have been programed not to be the aggressor. Thats changing now but is still the general rule.
I'm, by no means, strikingly handsome, Gods gift to women or endowed like a stud horse, but I do have a good personality, stay nicley groomed and try to stay fit. I feel confident in the fact that I'm just as good as anyone else out there. When I got over being shy and thinking I wouldn't measure up, I found, and still do, that those beautiful, intelligent women are not untouchable. When I can still, at 50, attract the attentions of a gorgeous 30 year old as well as someone my age or older than I guess the women aren't looking for just looks, wealth and supreme intelligence.
Ladies, whats your imput on this? | |

| question to the men in the audience Posted: 9/29/2004 2:48:30 PM | I'm not. Thats a turn on. A woman that knot only is comfortable with her body and mind, but knows what she wants too! Why is that intimidating? If anything that woman has more to offer.... | |
