| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 4/4/2006 4:51:21 AM | after reading this whole thread... too tired to do much more than cut and paste appropriate snips...
'The most private thing I'm willing to admit here is: "my word is gold" is only slightly tarnished by good intentions, security, self and group preservation lies to the authorities. i.e. "Flippin" is close enough- love that name! i NEVER give my true dob over the net- [using feb 29th;] am closer to 55 than 3.'
......not to mislead anyone other than identity thieves...
then there is also a couple of little messages some find particularly amusing....
===========1=============
OKC- [name deleted] / 18 / f / bisexual / [not mocking her country either;]" You should message me if: "you are not some horny old man. i do not like old men. if you are Over the age of 21 then please do not message me. i am. friendly."
i, [of course;], respected her wishes... it was the "old men... ...Over the age of 21" THAT cracked me up!
===========2=============
WORST QUESTION I'VE SEEN SO FAR- "Should sex with someone 16 years old be a jailable offense, if you're 25 or older?"
[...i can see why the author is "unknown" - a poster boy for 'Dateline pedophiles' and/or case by case abortion...;] GOT A BETTER "WORST" EXAMPLE? LET ME KNOW- I LIKE A GOOD LAUGH;?)
=========================
now these weren't from this site... but am sure we could come up with even funnier ones;] ...like my FYI & maturity sense from the same site... [then i'm going to nap;]----
" FYI- my last g/f was 25. purely a mutual sexual satisfaction relationship. set my uploaded pics to 35+, match search usually 27-99 i am not too ageist, are you:?)
"OLD" is 15 years older than ME! LOL [YOU should live as long;]
Maturity, IMHO- is generally an overall state of mind people acquire at differing times, not specific legislated ages. people mature in specific areas at different ages. then again, some never mature, regardless of what the law is;]
========================
'two ways to stay 'forever young'- die young and leave a good looking corpse OR never mature'
which begs the question of my 3rd grade epiphany... once i realized at such an early age many things 'adults' of that time and even now accept as facts, were logically wrong. so if i, a 3rd grader, had some of the base maturity that some adults never acquire... and i'm 55 now... how old am i really, Methuselah;?) LOL
=========================
oh yeah- i also couldn't help but chuckle that this thread theme of men lying about age was authored by a woman;] are you also republican;?) i've noticed they've gotten really good at covering their own weaknesses by attacking opponents perceived strengths. ROFLMAO
GOOD THREAD! =====peace and love===== [it's an old hippy thing;]

If that's too old for you, I don't want you & your prejudices around anyway.
I have a good life and great friends and do a lot of very active things. I don't take or need hardon enhancers, etc.
Ageism is YOUR problem, not mine.
And, I'll NEVER be too old to lick the jar. | |

| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 4/5/2006 12:01:48 PM | If I read one more post that says "I look 10 years younger" I'll gag. What's your point? That you want to attract someone that is that much younger? What if the person you are trying to connect with "looks" the age you "wish" you looked and is actually ten years younger than they look to you? That would make them 20 years younger than you. Is that ok? If the people enjoy each others company and feel warm and fuzzy looking into each other's eyes and one doesn't want to make babies when the other one can't, what difference should it make? Does that make sense?
Not to mention......that years don't necessarily make one less attractive. I know many men that are much more appealing and interesting to me now that they have filled out in their body and their mind. | |

| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 4/5/2006 2:26:36 PM | | hELLO,I have found out that men lie all the time, I meet them online, and have met some in person, about 5 or so, most are much older than the photo, I am in for a huge dissapointment, and I post a new photo of me and expect the same f them.

| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 4/5/2006 3:55:02 PM | Just a note from someone who LOVES those 50+ guys...
I'm 45, proud of it, and happy to tell anyone who asks! Folks frequently respond "No Way!" when they hear my age, and often tell me I look ten years younger. So 50+? If you've taken care of yourself, look good and feel confident, the age is just a number. Not only that, the higher the number, the more you've experienced, survived, and lived. Why be embarassed about that? | |
|
| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 4/5/2006 4:18:20 PM | I also love those guys over 50! I much prefer to be with a guy who is in my age bracket and who has had similar life experiences. -- A guy who can appreciate songs like "Mustang Sally". I wish these 49+ guys would get real - stop bothering the youngsters and starting looking in their own age groups for -- foxy, energetic, sexy, happy and secure women of substance...

My point is that your numeric age is irrelevant. More often than not, what you feel on the inside is what you see on the outside. If you take care of yourself and maintain a positive attitude, it shows. But miserable people who abuse their bodies just tend to look older. So you positive, active, happy 50+ guys, come on out of hiding; you're just plain hot! | |

There are so many posts, from women unfortunately, about not looking their age? And how amazed people are when they disclose it. and how much younger guys find them attractive? Give me a break. What fountain of youth are you drinking from? It is a rarity my female friends. Look to a guy closer in your age group, who you can relate to and makes you smile :)
Hey, if it's the truth, then they're only being honest...and yes, I include myself in that group as I'm 47 and always get told I don't look my age; always have been told that (and it used to really p*ss me off when I was younger); I used to get proofed to buy cigarettes when I was in my 30s, and the legal age here is 18; same thing with liquor. Most people *have* been very surprised when I tell them my age, which I find pretty funny as I'd like to know what a particular age looks like and who set the guidelines up, lol. But I've had younger and older men find me attractive, and I've had younger and older men *not* find me attractive; it's all personal preference. I also believe that most women today in their 40s and above look a lot better than women at that age used to years ago. Maybe it's diet, exercise, moisturizer, who knows what...but we're all aging a lot better (I'm talking about those of us who haven't gone under the knife to look better).
And, in my case at least, it's no fountain of youth; simply good genetics from both sides of the family. My last grandparent will be 97 next month and he doesn't look a day over 70. None of the people in my family get many wrinkles at all, none ever looked what one might consider "their age"; it's simply genetics.
As far as looking for men in my own age group, I look between 38-50 or thereabouts; it depends a lot more on who he is rather than how old he is. But I truly doubt someone 55+ would have much in common with me or would be able to keep up, though there are exceptions to every rule. | |

I here that all the time even had to show my drivers license to prove it on many of the occasions but its really funny when you've thrown out a younger guy from the bar and some one tells him you just got owned by a 50 year old guy. I bounce on the weekends sometimes | |

The end result being, if you can't converse on a level that you are comfortable with, all the sex in the world won't get you squat. Give me a guy over 50 anyday...if he is true to himself, he will shine in my eyes. Most of the forums on this site continue to make comments pertaining to age. When we were 16 we were always trying to make ourselves look older. We went through our twenties and thirties happy in our own existence. Then the dreaded 40's came along and we are trying to look younger. By the time we hit 50, we realize that at 50 or better, we have it all together and don't give a rat's a#s about age. Instead we are confident, socially acceptable, confortable in our own skin and know what we want. Be real about who you are, like yourself and enjoy men whatever the age. Life after all is about choices. | |

| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 4/8/2006 5:28:06 AM | Ah, the lust for youthfulness, it strikes us all at one point or another!
In another thread, we have the debate over whether or not men should dye their hair, and placed in context with ladies seeking to look the age of their daughters, and brought on topic here by suggestions that men are trying to date girls young enough to be their daughters!
I wonder if there's a connection? *cheeky grin* | |

| Men reaching age 50 + Posted: 4/8/2006 8:44:49 AM | Hi Prolibertate!
You are absolutely correct on the genetics thing; although my mothers side of the family is German/Irish, my father's side is Sicilian, and they've all aged great. Dad just turned 78 and he could easily be mistaken for 60; his sister just turned 81, and she also looks to be in her early sixties. Its the skin... the olive sicilian complexion tends to wrinkle less and maintain greater elasticity.
I also agree that we've all learned to take much better care of ourselves. People are more aware of the affects of smoking and alcohol; we're even more aware about the importance of drinking more water! And I was really lucky in my early twenties to have received some great advice from a dermatologist. When Accutane first came out, the manufacturers claimed that it would help regulate oil production for the rest of your life (later found not to be true...) I went on it to help control my greasy sicilian skin, but was afraid that without the oil, I would wrinkle like a prune. That's when my doc told me that it wasn't the oil that prevented wrinkles, but limited exposure to sun. I suspect that 20 years of sunscreen use hasn't hurt when it comes to looking young.
As for being proofed; a few years back, when I was in my late thirties, I was ID'ed going into a club. I was so flattered, I told the bouncer that he could also frisk me for concealed weapons if he liked...
Cheers! | |

Don't hold your breath ... my roommate is a 58 year old man and basically told me that the guys will go for the younger ladies until they discover they can no longer keep up with them sexually ... then they slowly begin to take note of the "older" ladies thinking that we don't want as much sex or just don't mind that they can't "perform" as well as they used to.
There’s some truth to that. A little, anyway. I would say that is experienced by about a third of the middle aged single guys. A few days ago a professional guy in his middle 50s admitted that he recently dated a gal in her 30s. He said that the whole evening he couldn’t help feeling that he should take her home to her mother because her personality wasn’t completed yet. LOL
For guys my age, life is easy because women outnumber the men by a lot and some of the men are too out of shape to be dating, anyway. However, many of the women my age are just delightful and that’s one reason I like to go to the gym every morning: The place is packed with “older” single women whipping themselves into shape because they know there are guys out there somewhere and they aim to get themselves one.
After I let that cat out of the bag, a couple out-of-shape 60 year old guys joined the gym to chase the healthy women. Those men were quickly embarrassed when women older and smaller than them were briskly doing four times as much for their workout, and they do that every day, almost. And then, after the workout, the women go do aerobics! At one point, I thought I might need to get the defibrillator out and ready, one guy was huffing and wheezing so badly.
If one of those healthy women ever took either of those out of shape guys home for an afternoon romp, I suspect 911 would be dialed within the first hour. . . . . . | |
