| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 7/22/2006 7:54:23 AM | LMFAO. I had a planned vacation with someone. And yes, I did go. Was it a date? Not after I met him. It was discussed prior ~ that if there was no chemistry, we would spend our time on vacation as friends. The moment I met him, I knew....NOT AN OPTION. So, we spent our vacation as friends. No physical contact. NONE. I spent 7 days (intended for 10) with a man that was soooooooo NOT my type that I left Hawaii nearly 4 days early. If you constitute that as a date, fine....I had a 3 minute 'date' in the Vegas airport. Anything after that, my status returned to "Not dating." And at this particular point in time, even if I had one 3 minute date, I'm very much back in the NOT dating mode.
So ~ let me phrase this so Kerry can understand. I had a planned date. In a 3 minute period, he became non-datable FOR ME. So, I've been on a very short first date in the past two years. I'm happily back in the I DON'T DATE mode. Kerry you are right again. As always.
Feel better, Honey????
What do you constitute NOT DATING??? Maybe you think a meeting is a date? I have NO clue, but to me, dating means I have made plans to spend time with someone on a non-platonic preface. Even my trip to Hawaii was designated "to get to know one another." Otherwise, I would have turned him down ~~ for the 100th time. He had been "convincing" me for months. And, in the end, I was right all along ~ NOT FOR ME. Just curious. | |

| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 7/22/2006 9:09:43 AM | People !!!! The thread is about lying. I try only to read and chuckle. I read one person is proud of his / her age. Great !! Another one lies because he wants a child. Give me a break. At 51 you should be a grand parent. If VGE is or dating or not is a little silly. I was taught it's a ladies prerogative to change her mind. Not that she's lying she changed her mind. How can she be lying when she said it in a public thread? Upon the first meeting she changed her mind. No chemistry means no dating. I don't blame her. I think being honest we've all been there. Remember I've been lied to about age. The first meeting wasn't good!! You go VGE!!  | |

:) I know what Judge Judy would say: "What IDIOT plans an expensive vacation with somone they've never met. Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining."

Having the time of my life, Cupcake. Even Ripley wouldn't believe some of the tales in this thread, and that appeals to my sense of wrongness. :)

So. Using that logic, all the dastardly guys you're claiming are lying about their age are, like you, just merely revising history. They're not lying about their age, they've just decided to change their dates of birth.
Pot, meet Kettle.

I have to lie in order to have a chance of having children, I tell the truth after they have read about me and find out what a great guy I am. If I had 51 up front they wouldn't even open my profile. I think it's possible that the problem is not that you want to start a family at the age of 51 ... it could be that after you do that ... and eventually it doesn't work out, then you may want to come back on here and find a lady your own age. Personally, I just don't know that many ladies who would want to take on a 4-year old child anymore at the age of say ... ... 56? Not even every other weekend!
I'm also thinking that a lady who would still want a "family" might be looking for a somewhat younger gentleman because that might guarantee her that the father of her children would not be in his late 60's to early 70's when the children are just graduating high school and still have college ahead of them.
Okay, I funded my own education ... but many of the children of today are not "into" that. How does a man propose to do such a thing in his "later" years? Possibly on a fixed retirement income? I suppose that's okay if your last name is Rockefeller ... but if it isn't .......... ? Okay ... not on topic, but just throwing those thoughts out there!
OT: The bottom line is that you are lying ... most people, not just women ... just don't want a partner who will lie to get what they want. There really is no excuse for it ... and if you have to lie to get what you want, I believe that takes some self-examination. A look at reality would be a good place to start.

Just for clarification. The trip cost me nothing. And the trip was billed to his client in Hawaii. So, it didn't cost him either. It did cost his client in excess of $8,000. But that was not my doing. Hate to disappoint you ~ but I would have not spent one dime to go meet him. Nor would I have been comfortable knowing he was spending that much money on me. It was a business trip for him, and he is from Hawaii ~ so I had an opportunity to go see Maui, and Waikiki. I'm sorry you find that impossible to believe. My last long term boyfriend flew me to Alaska for our first meeting, it however, went amazing. So, this was nothing new in my world. I've been allll over the US with friends via the net. Some I dated, many I did not. It's what my life is about ~ I'm sorry if that is hard for you to understand.

Kerry, you just have a spur up your $%$.....I'm sorry someone rained on your parade, it wasn't me. I have never said anyone was dastardly, just that they probably aren't for me. My history is this: I was married, now I'm not. I've nursed a severely broken heart for over two years and I thought going to Hawaii might help jump start my interest in the world again. All it did was made me miss my spouse. I didn't lie ~ I posted my intentions right here (as you kindly pointed out) and when that didn't pan out ~ I landed right back where I was. Furthermore, if it would have worked out ~~~~ I'd still NOT be dating, because I'd be in a relationship. So WTH difference does it make to you?? You aren't going to achieve anything by making me out to be a liar. I adjusted my post to you above and stated: You are right, I had a 3 minute date. Your right. Your right. Your right. (Funny thing, while I was in Hawaii, my profile said: Dating. Ut oh....guess you missed that!!! So, my profile is and still stands accurate. When I do meet someone (if I don't already know him...tee hee) I'll quickly change my profile status to: I do not date or meet anyone in person because I have someone wonderful in my life. So, keep your eyes on my profile ~~  | |

| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 7/22/2006 1:03:00 PM | | Geezzzz!!! A bunch of liars and hypocrites on here! I'm very proud of the fact that I am 50! AND, I take even more consolation in the fact that I'm a VERY proud Caucasian!! | |

Funny how some of the same women who change their age at will chastise men for doing the same thing. There are at least two gals here who are my age but post 59 on their profile. They say that once you get over that big six-zero mark few will pay attention to you anymore. So, they’ll be perpetually 59, I guess.
Actually, they suggested that, instead of turning 65, I also become 59 again. I didn’t wish to do that. But, I did want to jerk their chains a little. So, instead of subtracting five years from my age, I added ten to it on my profile. That caused some very interesting (and pleasant) things to happen, too. . . . .
One of my psychobabble friends commented that I probably did that, at least in part unconsciously, to quietly laugh at some of the women around here who are so up tight about (and fear) ageing. I suppose there might be some truth there. But, even if there was not, I’ll admit to it anyway cause I like that idea.

Some of us “old geezers” don’t count sheep. Rather, we’ll count our lady’s appendages, taking a moment to caress each appendage (and associated body area) enough that it is satisfied it is well appreciated before moving on to the next.
Oh sure, this method sometimes takes longer to bring on sleep than simply counting sheep because there are often intervening activities involved. It can be expected, however, to foster a peaceful and contented sleep for both bed-partners.

| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 7/22/2006 2:42:08 PM | ^^^^^^^^LOL.
I will admit, there was a brief period of time when my profile said 45. It was my own little funny haha ~ brought on from another thread. And I wasn't the only one ~~ there were about 6 of us that all posted 45. After about a week, the novelty wore off and I became 42 again. I thought about doing the ole' dyslexia trick ~ 24. Hey ... seems logical when I've been told "OH, my profile says 45????? I'm 54, but I do have dyslexia." But, who am I kidding??? I didn't look 24 when I was 24. So, I'll just stay 42 until next April.  | |

| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 7/22/2006 6:03:44 PM | | Okie, what is your obsession with the orginator of this thread? I'm just curious, is it because an attractive 42 year old woman says she doesn't want to date men over 45 (her perogative) and that leaves you out, or is it because you don't have anything better to do than watch Judge Judy? So many of the men in this thread seem intent on defending the indefensible- which is lying about their age in order to attract/date younger women. But you seem intent on the character assassination of the women who started it, why is that? It comes across as rather pathetic actually... | |

| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 7/22/2006 7:15:09 PM | | now hear this i have tried this i look younger than my age. so i tried it it didnt work well iam healthy and active.i did it becouse 60 year old woman were emailing me its ok for a woman to have a younger guy. but i like riding rollercoasters,and they cant ride them, none that i have met. even the younger ones i met cant either. whats with all these medical problems every bodys back hurts. get over it! you only have one life to live.i stand and jam on my guitar with friends for 6 to7 hours. oh by the way every body on all the sites are lires in one way or the other. you cant always get what you want. so lower your standards! | |
|
| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 7/22/2006 7:21:29 PM | | I put a younger age in my bio because most guys don't search for a woman over 50. But I do say in the bio that my real age is 51. I don't want to be passed up without at least giving me a look. | |
|
| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 7/22/2006 7:29:57 PM | so lower your standards!
I don't think anyone need 'lower their standards', but instead, make them more realistic.
As for age, I'll be 45 in a couple of months and I do receive many, "You're really 44?" sort of questions. I'm proud of my age.
Well, wait...uhmm..ask me that in a couple of months time ;)
OT: I have no problem with men reaching 50 or 50 plus. | |
|
| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 7/22/2006 8:42:31 PM | | ^^^^^^^This has been exactly my point ~ there are plenty of women, younger than 50 who have no issue with age. To each their own. I maintain there are perferences enough to work for all people. | |
