All I know is that you couldn't pay me to be 18 again.
I would be 18 again in a freaking second. Then I would go out and meet people and not waste my best years in front of a computer (like i'm doing now) programming away my future. | |

| single and forty.... Posted: 9/16/2005 2:59:11 PM | Yea, it is harder for me. I am set in my ways and kinda stubborn when it comes to changing. I would make every effort to compromise but still set in my ways. I am also way to picky. I am not talking about looks, I am no Tom Cruise, just the type of person I am looking for. | |
|
| single and forty.... Posted: 9/22/2005 1:13:38 PM | | dmotz ,, a person has to be picky now a days anymore. And Im NOT tal;king about looks. Im talking about not wanting ddoiseases & being clean & esp[ecially being careful. I know why I havent had a b/f or sex in a LOOONGG while but I also know the other reason is I am very cllean & I doptn want any diseasesd or anything else from someone. | |

| single and forty.... Posted: 11/3/2005 11:48:51 PM | I don't believe that....my uncle who is just turning 60 just hooked up with another girlfriend. He's had something like 6 since my aunt died 4 years ago.
He's just looking for companionship, and they all seem to be pushing for more than he's ready for, but the point is, he's still finding.
He's a very handsome man, and he deserves to be happy as much as anyone else. So do we all for that matter.

| single and forty.... Posted: 11/4/2005 12:30:31 AM | i believe Doc in what he has to say,(and always have,he always has meaningful things to bring to the table,in these forums) and too you tiny as well. My point is,being in love a few times in my life before and walking away feeling down and hopless after the relationship ended.is that you just pick yourself up off the canvas,dust yourself off and keep on trying,Who knows if i'll ever marry again or have another meaningful relationship,it's out of my hands.I work alot and that seems to keep me busy.But would also like to meet a woman, sooner than later.So i can feel that i can have it all in my life.I'm not rich nor am i expecting to be,unless i win the lottery,lol.All i'm asking for in a woman,is that she is compassionate and sincere in her ways,and we just start out as friends and we'll see if something blossoms from there.Plenty of time,and i'm not worried.I know ther is a great woman waiting for me out there somwhere.These forums are a Godsend.Thank you all,and take care.NYkid. | |

The men my age or older (47) are looking for someone in their early 30s who can have more chidlren(sic) it seems.
That's part of it for me (now 40). However, there's another part that perhaps other men share: A period of time as a couple without the complication of children or the stress to produce them. Once 40 is crossed, time to have her kick out some children and be done with it before her biological clock's alarm expires - alot of pressure. Men don't have the same limitation imposed on themselves. | |

| single and forty.... Posted: 12/3/2005 6:50:11 PM | I have only been 40 since Sept. 05 and I wasn't sure what to expect. Any advice on this dating scene would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to be one of those older guys with lthe long hair and tight jeans hitting on those young girls in the night clubs. I have seen this and it's not pretty.  | |

I think many people are pretty nervous about starting a new long-term relationship when they are in their 40's. We know that the initial bloom and lust wears off over time. We are a little smarter, more cautious and less impulsive when it comes to commitment. Finances and kids also play a huge role in these decisions. So yeah.. I'd say that there is probably some truth to that statement. Lots of truth in that statement actually. I have just joined the age bracket (40) and no way would I be even 30 again. | |

| single and forty.... Posted: 10/16/2006 10:33:56 PM | I remember that quote from Sleepless in Seattle but I totally disagree with it since I find that there are more men out there wanting to settle down ASAP which actually scares the crap out of me just a little bit because I'm in no hurry, no rush, no mistakes. I was married once and should I decide to choose that path one more time, I'd like to think this time we get to grow old together I've been divorced for 10 or 11 years now and 9 of them I've been single and committed to my son, but now he's all grown up and its time for Mommy to start living and having a man in here life.

I think you should quit watching Sleepless in Seattle, if you're going to start taking dating advice from Hollywood... lol. That's where that movie quote is from, right?
Maybe switch to The Bridges of Madison County, or The Notebook, or that old Sally Field movie that I've forgotten the name of that also starred James Garner. Murphy's Romance? I'm unsure of the title right now. Tin Cup is another one, where love seems to manage to appear/reappear and endure into and past middle age.
Personally, I'd rather stick with The Three Stooges and The Marx Brothers... | |
