Posted: 5/26/2007 7:53:57 PM | A warm hello to everyone from winterpeg manisnowba   ok I am 50 and this saddens me...why are we still doing the gender battles? I catch myself also I'll admit it. What started as a thread to praise turns into something else. But why ....well many years leave many scars I would think. I believe the gender battles were discovered by ad agencies that perpetuate it because they are on the verge of gainings billions of dollars from the male side of the species just like they have from the female side for years. Ok maybe too much into the conspiracy theory there. I also have one about the divide and concure to distract from real issues, but another time. I praise an older man that can see all of the first post about a woman and its ok. Bless his soul.  Truely if you think about it any gender opinions we have are all biased. The only gender statement that I want to give credibility to is that of a bisexual man or woman that have had long term live-in relationships with both genders. The rest of us wether you be hetrosexual or gay really do not know. Anyway I am here for the ego strokes for older gals and the first goes to the first that spoils the mood. | |

Every time I catch up on what's been written in this Forum, I can't help wanting to praise Aged-Well, again and again for his on-going, wonderful, heartfelt view of us "older" (or mature) ladies. My dear man, with soooo many favorites on your list, I'm sure you're aware how we feel about you. As you can see, there are also many wise posts from MANY fantastic older women, too.
I just peeked at his profile....quite a collection there..... he could open a fish market with the numbers of fishes hanging from his line haha.

A dear friend of mine has well over a 100 favs, they keep adding him to their favs list.
I asked how he keeps up to all these people, he said he hired a secretary, lol, joking!
I wasn't paying attention and all of a sudden I had all these people add me to their favs list and I had no idea who they were, no mail from them, I was just added on for later I guess. Never thought to check until it was mentioned to me.
To praise older women, when I was a lot younger, older women tended to give very good advice, were secure in who they were and always seemed to have so much fun. | |

After seeing some of the shitty comments I keep getting on here, it’s starting to reek
Ms mayflowers,
With your comments ma’am, on how many individuals that a person has on their favorites list, bleeds jealousy and insecurity on your part. It would be a waste of keystrokes to try and convince you why a person would keep me, or anyone else, saved in their file.
Focus on the conversation at hand. PRAISE OLDER LADIES.
If you would like to discuss the popularity of aged-well, start another forum. | |

Posted: 5/27/2007 7:18:08 PM | And to anyone else who decides to comment / question, who are all these ladies who keep adding me to their fav list, here is just one of 63 messages I received today commenting on my profile alone:
From ChelseaAbba
“Thank you..Your profile was a breath of fresh air..Your extreme candidness almost made me cry..I know it sounds like bull ………….. However thank you from the bottom of my heart for restoring my faith in men...”
I chose this one, because it happened to be the message I received while wasting my time here defending why there are so many on my “line”.
Gee…. maybe I should delete myself off her favorite list, make her cry more, and show her I’m really just an ***hole hiding behind kind words…………..NOT | |

Oh sorry, your absoultely right I kinda went off there, but it was done in jest...and it seems you didn't find it amusing. It is not in my nature to be hurful or cruel as most of the long term posters here will attest to. ....I am a little taken aback that you felt the need to use such strong hurtful words to describe me when I was only exhibiting a little a playful fun though....that was certainly surprising, coming from you......
Now back to topic in "PRAISE OF OLDER LADIES....yes there are quite a number of older praiseworthy ladies that have so much to offer, wisdom and maturity being at the top of the list... its unfortunate that they aren't getting the positive attention and respect that they have "rightfully earned"

Posted: 5/27/2007 8:32:13 PM | Ms maeflowers, kindly accept my humble apologies, if your intentions were in jest. I’m sure one could see through my words this is a topic I quite frequently have had to defend. I do ma’am have the utmost respect for “older ladies”, and with this, I joined this post.
For you information and personal praise to you, after the above, I did receive 6 direct messages from ladies who have a very high regard for you. Kudos
Once again please accept my apologies for the misunderstanding. I do seem to really suck at the on-line misunderstandings my bad
Enjoy your holiday | |

Posted: 5/28/2007 8:36:27 AM | I just have to jump into this forum....not only because I am a big fan of aged-well, (and I am darlin) but also because I am one of the over 40 group that has had many many younger men tell me how much they are attracted to older women. At first, I found it flattering that youngins wanted to play with an "old" woman, yet at the same time, figured it was only for the sex aspect, when in all actuality, they TRULY were tired of the games little girls play. Go figure!!! But to any of you who have talked to aged-well, if you don"t recognize his sincerity and wisdom, I feel sorry for you. I ran across his profile one day, and after reading it....fell in love with his mind...well, the body wasnt a deterrant either...LOL, and although I have a healthy sense of self-confidence, he made me feel "good" about the fact that I am not 20 anymore, and that it is ok to have imperfections. He is a rarity in this world that puts so much emphasis on "hard bodies" and perfection....what is perfection anyway??? I personally think life has just started for me...all the rest was just practice.
Sorry for just interrupting your forum, but I see aged-well, and I have to read....you never know what beautiful words are going to come out of him next....and I dont want to miss a single one of them....  | |

Posted: 5/28/2007 9:36:37 AM | justkatie................Your post concerning Aged-Well....says it all...I agree..........and, love him, too. (Like a mother, of course). (sigh).
Sometimes I just WISH that more men could figure out a way to REALLY understand women..at least while I'm still alive and kickin'.....
I can't even remember if I put him in My Favorites, but I'll look and see. I, too, don't want to miss a word this man has to say.
Hey Aged...bask in all this popularity...YOU EARNED IT...AND so did your MOM!
Fondly,
JUDY

Posted: 5/28/2007 11:27:41 AM | | Hey Knittin Kitten...I dont think it is so much a matter of men UNDERSTANDING women as much as it is ALL people learning to RESPECT one another...no matter what their gender, age, race, or any other differences that makes them who they are. Some of us, like well-aged, have simply been taught to be respectful of others, and not only knows how, but practices it in his everyday life. That is what this world needs. So yes, a great deal of credit goes to his Mom, but you have to give the man himself the credit due for actually reflecting his upbringing into his own way of life, and passing those same values and beliefs to his son. | |

Just a small response....he doesnt have to even put his line in the water...the fish just jump into his boat.....and he is very humble and modest and kind to everyone who contacts him....I have personally emailed with him, and he is the sweetest and least arrogant man I have ever talked with....but yet he has the looks to be a real jerk, and get away with it....yet he doesnt.....I know I picked him to be on my fav's list....and I am proud to be one of the many other women who recognize how wonderful a person he is. | |

Posted: 5/28/2007 6:55:29 PM | This is for my mom and all the love I have for her.
I am not sure whoever started this subject but from a mature woman I praise you for the very nice way it was phrased.
I am new to POF and from what I have seen is that there are a lot of shallow men out there who don't know what they are missing by not even give the mature woman a second look. She is not perfect but from learning things the hard way and moving on to make things better. She has the bumps, sags, wrinkles, etc. that all mature women have and she wears them with pride because they are life lessons learned. | |

Thank your Mom for me.
Well thank you kindly ma’am. I do thank her every day in my prayers, she passed last Aug (06) at age 80. Please, no need for “I’m sorry to hear”, quite frankly, I am proud, and very content to have had her for 44 years. Some aren’t as lucky. Hence why I cherish every moment with my 91-year-old dad.
Just one of many of the things I have recently learned:
“Hey dad, how in the hell did you and mom say together for 52 years?".......
"Well boy, I obviously loved her, but I really LIKED her”
This time around, I want to fall in love with someone because I like them so much, not the other way around.
So you see ladies, bottom line, ALL older folks deserve praise, ladies and men alike. Because anyone who has and continues to endure life, quite frankly has some piece of advice all of us can use, and inexperienced folks should pay close attention to.
I haven’t been back on this forum since I last shoved my keyboard clearly down my throat and out my ass, but to those who wrote the nice things, thanks kindly.
And to all of the other things on this concerning utmost respect for all ladies alike, thanks. Because it reminds me I am not alone, standing by my thoughts that ALL ladies of age not only deserve a man's respect but they have earned it. And for this young man, that makes ALL of them hot in my book.
Besides, an elderly lady is BY FAR, the best slow dancer in the world  | |

The Right Attitude
The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm 87 yrs. old. Can I give you a hug?"
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze.
"Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked.
She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids..."
"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.
After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.
We became instant friends. Every day for the next 3 months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her 3 x 5 cards on the floor.
Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know."
As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.
There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.
We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!
There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.
If you are 19 yrs. old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn 20 yrs. old. If I am 87 yrs. old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn 88.
Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.
The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."
She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose."
She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.
One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep
Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.
When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they'll really enjoy it!
These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.
REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give. | |

Posted: 6/21/2007 6:03:26 AM | Rose was a wonderful woman. Thank you for sharing the piece on her .
I am 61 years old, and I am full of life, love and never have a bored moment. I believe I have aged well because I don't worry about the years I have lived. I wake up each day with a smile on my face wondering what new adventure is headed my way. My newest one is getting on stage and singing (which I have recently done with a band and not Karioke). I am also learning to play keyboard. It has always been my philosophy that the key to staying young is to always keep learning something new.
I would love to find someone to be my best friend and lover. Call me a hopeful romantic, but I still believe that I will find someone who I would like more than I have ever liked anyone before in my life, and if I am lucky I would also fall in love with him, If not....oh well. I still have fun living my life and enjoy every minute of it. | |
