OVER 50 And Alone....again.
Posted: 8/17/2007 6:39:42 PM
Well... I'm 59, but I certainly don't look as I have taken care of myself physically over the years, and all the ones that are contacting me are 65 to 70, when in all actuality, I'm looking for someone quite younger than me. I have strict critera for my last one... but still the obese contact me. I am still very active, and I don't need any Viagara..., and I can outlast most young bucks!! But I believe most of the younger chicks aren't really looking for love..... say. I'm not here for a long time... I'm just here for a good time!! Hell, if I truly loved someone, it wouldn't matter if they had no money, no home, no vehicle., but willingly threw their body and soul into making a relationship work, providing the chemistry was there. But most of the young ones today, for some uncalled reason always bring age into the picture, and throw up their shield, and ask you to move on. And since they probably make more money than you.. more so.
True, they have that right, but they also may toss away the man who was older, and wiser, and may later find that it was infact he, that destiny sent for her. Make your choices wisely!!

Well, jaycee, being overweight myself and losing weight as well, I don't bother with guys who have what you state on your profile. The way I look at it is, if a guy is that hung up on looks and doesn't want to get to know me as a person while I'm overweight, then he won't be worth my time when I regain my fighting weight again. I don't want the faint-hearted and shallow-souled in my life either.

I can see if they think someone who is overweight won't be able to do something like rock climbing or running marathons - understand that completely. But to just rule out a person because of their weight - well, it will be your loss.

Someday, one of the 'obese' women who have contacted you will probably pass you on the street and you won't recognize her because she is no longer 'obese', but you can bet she'll recognize you. Wanna bet what she does when figures that out?

Have a happy search - this was not a bashing post, just sharing my feelings and opinions on a subject you elected to post publicly.

Cheers!

Well...I read jaycee's profile..and guess I'm too old to even talk to him. go figure.lol But, I'm with the other ladies on this one.. Most men around here either live in the casinos, think they are above everyone else , or they just look like they haven't bathed or anything for a month....so, I would rather stay home than deal with anyone like these around where I'm at...

being over 50 and alone.... for me is exhillerating!!! If and when i allow a man to get involved with me, it will probably be for the rest of my life. In the mean time, i enjoy calling my own shots on everything i do, and that is what i call FREEDOM!!!!

Dusty, you always come around just at the right time and say something fantastic to make women feel so much better...

Yes I am 51 and I have chosen to be alone for along time due to not finding the right one.....oops sorry Dusty, but dang you are so far away, muuuaaahh!!!.

I am not gonna settle for less, like I have in the past and besides I have a great time being my age, single...Next month gonna take a trip by myself and have a nice relaxing weekend with the massage, the peace and quiteness of no hustle bustle of the city life.

For me when I see the photos and the guy is standing there with a beer in his hand I don't even look at the profile because that's not what I want. Also when they use foul language forget it. Not impressive to me. I would rather stay alone than to put up with that .
I have even gone on some of the so called Christian dating sites and seen the same men that were on here and other sites so I wonder are there any decent men left in this world? I would think if one is looking for a relationship they would be presenting themselves in a manner of respect for themselves and the other person. Or, am I so far over the hill that the bad boy image is what most women want these days ?

Almost 50 & understand exactly what your saying...been there!

I can't see moving to date either. Small towns have percs but slim pickens when it comes to dating. One may never know wo is actually married or divorced!

After a certain passage of time, you just give up looking. Oh maybe you tell yourself you are still "available" but in reality you aren't spending any time in the chase anymore.

As one gets older, it seems like fewer and fewer people are potentially interested. You would be surprised how many women's profiles (who are in their 50's) state they want a guy younger then themselves.

And if you aren't loaded, forget it.

Someone please help me locate the author of this apropros quote, upon the realization that he couldn't get it up anymore: "I have been released from the bondage of a most harsh and demanding master!"

I didn't realize that guys in their 50's are still obsessed with sex.
I thought I found a great guy who enjoyed it as I did but did not make it his life's goal...it turned out that he had no goals at all....there's gotta be a balance for heaven sake.

point made! me..I meet the girl, we get to know each other. If the girl starts talking about her ex or marriage, I let her talk. I play no head games, women love to laugh, and that what I provide them. A glass of wine does not hurt for both of us.
I make the women's men jealous because I make the woman laugh. Sometimes just a touch or carress on the shoulder is enough to make the woman relax. Most women have never been touched, not intimately, but just a nice touch or hug, is all it takes.
I love to hug a woman, with nothing intended.

You are soooooo right about men over 50 ... they love their freedom and don't seem to want or need a woman full-time, just when they want and for how long they want. And, if we refuse them, they just move on to a woman who won't turn them down. And, we are in our prime and would like more from a man. We women cannot win at any age!

I'm glad to say that I'M NOT ONE OF THOSE WOMEN! Why in the world would I want to date a gentleman who is significantly younger than me, who, more than likely, will be seeking and searching (still) to figure out if he needs a mid-life crisis to prove his manhood.

NO THANKS! I've raised my children - 1 son, 1 daughter - and the only children I want to take part in raising again are my grandchildren!

I'm not saying all younger men (and I'm talking significantly younger, not in the same decade or shortly behind mine) will be that way - but, why would I want to waste my time figuring who out is and who isn't that way at my age!

NOPE! Cheers! Happy searching!

Knightless....

I'm not like "most" men.... True, I have my bar set high.. but so do a lot of women.

I'm not a drinker, and you won't find me in a casino, and if you read my profile... then you "see" me as I am. Someone out there is looking for exactly that.... and that is who I seek. I won't settle for less... Thank you

I'm over 50, soon to be 51. Having your own freedom is nice, but be alone is worse. I don't want that the rest of my life. I want to share my life with somebody. I may be over 50 but I am still young. And I want to fall in love and grow old with her. and do my very best to make her happy.

Two types? Oh Hon, it's soooo convenient to pigeon hole an entire gender and run about having attitude color perceptions. Yeah, other people really respond well to that -- not.

Yep. There's only two types of people. Them's as breathe and them's as don't.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it (cause I dropped it in the pancake syrup).
