They like doing what they want to, when they want to.
That can be said for anyone over 50,male or female,recently divorced or for a long time.We are people that have allready been through a lifetime of love,work,raising family,burying relatives,paying off debt and living through the changes of a world that advances so fast its hard to keep up with.
Time doesnt stand still,it seems that your children were just born 5 years ago and they are allready off to college.
We all love the freedom that we all have earned,its just alot more difficult to share those freedoms with anyone at our age.
Change is much easier at 20 than at 50.
Expierience in life teaches our need for freedom.
Soooo....it is hard to date when you are over 50,you have to accept someone for who they have grown to be knowing that you cannot change them into what you want them to be. | |

Posted: 1/20/2006 11:53:55 AM | | I believe we haven't much control of meeting "the one". It is so rare and unlikely to begin with that searching too hard will leave anyone frustrated. Just sit tight and relax. Oh and be careful for what you wish for, you may get it! | |

Posted: 2/1/2006 4:18:31 AM | | The way I see it,when you see a profile of a woman that says their job,friends come first and that they are looking for someone ten years younger than they are,they probably wont date much.when a woman wants someone younger than they are they arent interested in being in love only lusting for love.just because there is snow on the roof dont mean there is no fire in the furnace.is that what our society has turned to?how long we can make love,how long we can edure?what happened to the time when the person you loved didnt have anything to do with sex???? to me its not what is between their legs but what is between their eyes and heart that matters. | |

And what makes you think that a woman looking for someone younger isn't interested in love, but only sex? I notice your profile looks for women up to 10 years younger - and no older than you - but somehow that's ok? | |

Posted: 2/1/2006 6:55:57 PM | | I beieive men and woman have little difference in any catagory. It is all an individual thing. Ive been divorced since 1988 and have not found a man I could say "I do" to and/or visa versa. I work to take care of myself, never have enough time for the things I want to do, (Most all of them do not require another person.) and find that I am still alone but only lonely when I want the the touch of a man, sex, and wanting to know he cares about me and I can trust him. Doing what I want is important to me as I know it is with men. The trick is finding someone that his/her "important" is compatible with yours. But dont try to harden your self to protect from heart ache. You are a caring person that puts hope and honesty into your dates and this is a spark of life that should not be extinguished. Maybe the "wrong men" are not seeing the words "LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP" or maybe they take advantage of it knowing that a woman wanting to live happily ever after with a man has a special glow, a warmer enbrace, and a beauty of innocence. Okay guys I mean visa versa for you too. Life goes on, hearts mend....it just a **** waiting for the pain to go away. | |

Posted: 2/2/2006 10:21:45 AM | Well there is one other kinda man over 50 trying to find true happiness. I have traveled most of my adult life, mostly work based and when I retired I took on a semi job as a sailboat captain, traveling again...Sometimes the circle closes and you realize your not in it....These days, get this...I bought a motorbus and I am traveling around the US in it....How in the world do I meet a woman in this age bracket, that wants to make a go of it? Do I give up the travel? If so where do I stop traveling? The questions in life keep coming, and I strive to seek the answers, but we all know it is the journey that makes the difference. Enjoy life, smile and remember, life is great!!!!!!!!

you take her with you, or better yet you convince her you are a world traveller and her guidance is necessary to keep you on the straight and narrow...
all joking aside....don't change anything...one day when you least expect it, she will fall in your lap.......then try driving that motorbus all over the US | |

Posted: 2/5/2006 8:27:35 AM | I agree with you about the newly single men and perhaps it is somehat true for the ones divorced over 10 years. Not in all cases though. I would like a woman to get close and am not afraid of that as long as they do not become clingy, perhaps they feel they are being left behind and somehow they feel that the man is not as committed as they think he should be because of this. It can go the other way too. Sometimes men feel they have to jump through hoops to please the woman because her married existence has come to an end and this experience has left her hurt and cautious. She starts comparison with her past and the present man and if he is found wanting then he must do more or be considered distant.
Unfair and not necessarily planned that way but the subconcious looks at things without us realizing it. Also being over 50 does not mean dead. Chemistry is still important. | |

Posted: 2/7/2006 10:13:29 PM | Reading over the posts of this thread tnshylady and noticed some comments you've made.
I am just so tired of men not being who they really are or saying what they really feel from the start .
I dont know if your making reference to men you meet here on line but will go on with my thoughts...lol I find that many women build a fantasy around the person they might have related to on line and when they meet, they might say , "he isnt' who I thought he was" or may even go on to say he was BSing about who he really was.
My question would be .... Are men really not being who they are or what you built them up to be? I might think that what you experience them to be is in part a fantasy fitting your expectations. IF your not hearing what they feel from the start...then maybe you need to ask more questions so your not so disapponted.....lol. | |

Posted: 2/13/2006 8:08:01 PM | You have left one group of people out of your question. The widowed men who did not have a say in the matter. Those guys who were happly married to their spouses and loose them for whatever reason. Now there left alone after man years of being happly married. And for them it's history and not baggage. You think you got it bad. Try being happly married for 35 years and loosing the person who was your high school sweatheart had your two children and was my hero. And two of her grandchildren with never remember her. Then you try to find someone else to live out the rest of your life with. Huh!!! I think I would have been better off being married and finding someone to fool around with. And that's way it is.  | |
