Posted: 12/22/2008 5:24:49 AM | Or maybe they could read a profile BEFORE clicking on a picture  , were into real relationships instead cyber ones and actually weren't afraid of going thru the business and effort of actually getting to know someone before clicking on the next best one down the line ..... a whole 2 emails later  .
Or stop using dating sites as pass times to fill up the space during commercials? Should I go on?
Lordy I need a week somewhere in the warm sun, with someone cozy and not repressed or lazy   | |

Posted: 12/22/2008 11:48:19 PM | Sounds like you are already looking for your rocking chair. I'm 64 and still looking, and finding, the samethings in life that made life worth living when I was 30. Life ONLY gets old and boring if you let it! And yes, SEX gets better as you age... just like a good wine. Not everyone over 60 needs or wants that little blue pill... unless you have a medical condition it isn't needed.
The people that have the biggest problems, are women... and that is due to menopause. The lack of production of horemones , and the carry over of the "taboo", that women shouldn't enjoy sex, has been the cause of a lot of relationships to go no further than a few dates.
It is a good feeling to wake up with your lover a sleep on your shoulder and NOT have the kids come into the bedroom wanting breakfast... lol... one of the perks of being over 60...lol. | |

Posted: 12/23/2008 4:50:10 AM | I've never heard such unmitigated blithering clap trap!!! Frankly you guys are totally clueless and have no idea what's going on with 'us' ....as if there can ever be a collective US. Women are different, WOMEN ARE DIFFERENT, one from the other!
How dare you assume one single thing about any of us.... obviously you don't read, listen or pay attention to anything that is written on this forum... by a woman. You hear what you want to hear, believe what you want to believe and ignore the rest. You want the world to be a cliche cause it's * e a s i e r * to not have to think or ask one of us or even inform yourselves with facts easily available yep, right in front of you.....but hey, keep those stereotypes rollin' ... but watch out, you may just fall into one yourself.  | |

Posted: 12/23/2008 7:42:15 AM | I wonder what would be the result if all of the forum posters managed to find themselves in the same Club Med or some such place at the same time. Would anybody survive the week? Would anybody get laid?
Hope you all have a great Xmas. | |

...Hmmm, I'm betting nobody gets laid. | |

Posted: 12/23/2008 8:19:11 AM | Getting laid is the easy part, plenty of that around ....it's all the rest that's problematic.
But then different strokes for different folks, guess it depends on your priorities.
Sometimes it's just easier to coast and wait for what you happen to trip over on the way to the post office ... ay Rear?

Posted: 12/23/2008 9:06:02 AM | this thread is somewhat disappointing since I'm recently single and a senior...not middle aged as per a lot of profiles...mostly of men,who still consider middle age up to their time of death...
I don't think men in this age bracket,and even in their fifties,really know what they want...most,even tho they won't admit it,really wanted their status quo not to change...unless it was uncomfortable..meaning that their comfort zone was not comfortable any more..men don't like hassles...they want everything to come easy and that's why so many have toys...they want to play,they want life to be easy,their life,anyway...most live in their past and want to recapture what they felt as twenty year olds,and who doesn't?..but letting them loose on a dating sight,really makes them much more so...all the tabloids which show much older film stars with younger,gorgeous women,goes to their heads...but they don't read what happens after the first few years of wedded bliss...
most won't admit that relationships with younger women don't work because they grow older than their women,faster....men worry a lot about their inadequacies...their sickness,growing old,growing poor,..money is a big one and being able to live comfortably...and sharing with someone else who maybe doesn't have financial security,no matter how good looking they are,worries them a lot...so,what do they want?...chemisty is the big one...they want someone to fall madly in love with them....but,don't we all?..and what if we can't find that spark anymore..??? what if we are beyond that "spark" due to health or life's experiences or just "age"...do we settle for less?...do we begin thinking about what we are willing to accept?...instead?...men want to be young...period...and so do I...it piddles me off when I can't see something,or do something physically,or make dumb mistakes,or my thinking gets muddled or I just don't care anymore....we want our "lust for life" back...we want someone who rekindles that joi de vivre...and we want someone else to do it for us...lol...but it ain't goin to happen that way...what men need to do is spend more time in hospitals and old age homes instead of dating sites and bars and hanging around younger guys...the fear of immortality makes them silly... | |

| What do men 60 plus want?
Posted: 12/23/2008 9:19:41 AM | Bingo....that's pretty much it in a coconut shell.
Or they don't worry about their inadequacies enough.....looking in the mirror and actually believing that they're seeing their 20 yr old self  ...... surprise.....but we see you.
I think just fine, but I don't want someone else to 'do it for me'.... but with me. Got no problem with joie de vivre . | |

You want to go to the recycle can. Be my guest. You are what you think you are.
If you think you dead you are dead if you think you are alive you are alive. If you think you are beautiful if you think you are ugly you are ugly. It is the inner feeling which form the individual personality.
I am 60 and have fat bank account to be able to retire any day. But walking up early morning, doing my routine work-out, taking a shower and putting my suit and tie on and going to work is a must for me and I am going keep doing doing it to the last day of my life.
Kernel sanders started Kentucky fired chicken when he was 58, and succeeded for building huge company, not because he was smarter than every body else but he had the right attitude. If you want to buy yourself a rucking chair and keep rocking that is you rights to do. | |

Rusty..
I don't believe there isn't a woman alive that has EVER been in the forums.. that hasn't felt this exact same way.. at one time or other.
I have read a few posts here that were sincere.. and loving. What's more.. I believe they were honest straight from the heart opinions.
Good thread! | |

ok,so what kinds of things do you think should be listed on here..I gather you mean on your profile?...this venue doesn't really lend it self to a list of what we have to offer..it's more laissez faire...but,if it did,what do you think we should list?...
I'm going to make mine..let me know if I'm on the right track...
aside from the obvious on my pics...which BTW,everyone should have,even you rearguard....here we go..
Intelligent(can save your little butt in times of trouble)
Financially secure(so you don't have to worry about me trying to get your money)
Retired(so I have lots of time to cater to you and be bored with you)
Artistic(so that when I really get bored with you ****ing I can go off and leave you to stew alone and do my own thing to forget how demanding you are)
Healthy and motivated(I have to work my farm which keeps me rather busy)
I grow my own veggies and buy organic meat so that I can cook healthy meals for us)
hope you're into sauerkraut and spinach,pistachios and homemade bread)
Only have to sleep four hours(so I can get up and stoke the fire and make coffee)
Attractive(I don't have a beer belly or truck drivers bloat)I'm strong,can carry a pail of water and lift a jerry can,still have hair and teeth,but if you overwork me too much or cause me to be stressed out,I might lose them)
no children(blessing,then you can count on being the recipient of my bank account when I die)
Educated(if a university degree means anything now a days) but at least I can spell,write and read)
Talented(Got my degree in music)so I can serenade you after supper...so you can go to sleep on your full stomach..how am I doing so far?.....should I post this on my profile?
et aussi,seulement pour toi,je peux parler et ecrire le francais...une vrai femme canadienne ,que pensez-vous?... | |

Huh?
I think some of you ladies are still chasing that bad boy that you were chasing when you were 18 to 30. You know the one; the one that treated you like crap if you managed to hook up with him; the one you dumped that nice guy, for; the one that dumped you for the next skirt and left you crying on your girlfriend’s shoulder about “Why does he behave like this?’, and you’re still wondering. If you weren’t still attracted to him, you wouldn’t be ****ing about his behavior.
McCartney got exactly what he deserved. The man’s an ego-maniac to think that a woman that age could love him instead of his money and power. That’s like my thinking that a 50 year old woman would be attracted to me.
Please note that I said “I think” and further modified that by “some of you”.; I didn’t paint all women with the same brush. Nice guys are still out there. (‘not saying I am one.)

Posted: 12/23/2008 8:12:46 PM | OK rustytraveler , I'll bite. Get your bricks ready. Yes, I realize that not all women are the same, neither are all men. And yes, I do read the forums along with profiles and information on other sites. Add to this my personal observations and a profile of the average white, 45-65 year old female raised in the US emerges. Granted that not all fit this model and most do not fit all the characteristics mentioned.
1. A large majority are at least 10% overweight. Many are overweight to where it affects their health or ability to participate in life.
2. Many subscribe to outdated societal mores and norms.
3. Many are insecure and require regular emotional support to feel worthwhile.
4. Many place their relationship with children and grandchildren above their social life or any SO.
5. Many lack self confidence which affects their ability to participate in society.
6. Many prefer a quiet night at home over the noise and drama of a night out on the town.
7. They will not casual date someone who they do not consider "long term" material.
8. There willingness to try and experience new things is limited.
9. Most are constrained by what others in society may think of them.
10. They are better cooks and home makers than dancers and lovers.
Not to judge these characteristics, but IMHO, these are the normal characteristics one can expect from this group of females; either that meets your expectations or not. | |

I'm pretty sure a lot of the same can be said for the men oldkid. Matter-of-fact.. I think a good 85% of the men that can't stop asking.. or begging.. for sex from the women in POF.. are just plain insecure.
A much more talk the talk.. and NOT walk the walk as much as they'd like us to believe. JMO | |

Posted: 12/24/2008 1:23:25 AM | Well oldkid, redarcangel pretty much said it for me .
1. The same for men, or so scrawny and stringy you could tip 'em over with a finger.
2. Ditto for men stereotyping women.
3. Many men want us to shut up and just cook and clean.
4. There we may differ in that we realize the importance of our input and take responsibility for it as opposed to
most men who bale and don't give a rats patootie and go do what they like to do instead.
5. And who programmed them that way? Most men want dumb, compliant women who say "Yes Dear".
6. Hey I like a night on the town once in awhile, but not weekly.. did plenty of that as a kid..I'm over it.
But I like travel, museums, events, dinner out or in with friends.
7. It's boring as that is not what 'I' want....and usually they're just looking for a lay anyway.
8. Looking at the world through the mirror of your life there. I know lots of smart, active adventurous women.
9. Not most women I know, maybe those in your town... doesn't mean that's the norm.
10. Maybe if you didn't expect those 3 squares a day and a clean house, she wouldn't be too tired to party.
Hey what I'm seeing is the reflection of YOUR situation, in your area, with your wife and life. It is your choice to stay there and frankly delusional to want the world to accommodate to your preferences. Don't generalize that this is the way it is everywhere with everybody...just ain't so.
Where your theory loses validity is that most people really don't get their cake and eat it too... most people adjust to what's workable for them. If that means divorce, then do it.. if you can't stand where you are, move...if you want to dance and drink and be around young women...what can I say, do it honorably and don't infect the marriage with such selfishness..... and stop whining if people don't approve, you know damn well that's the way small town society works. If you don't like it..... go somewhere else. | |

Outre que ton attitude par rapport aux hommes, t'es parfaite!
But, as with the other responses, lots of views on what men are supposed to be like, no actual details of what women have to offer men in a relationship.
Sigh. A basic component of all marketing efforts is identifying those elements of the product that make it appealing to the customers.
Ooops! Of course I know that the ladies are in no way attempting to market themselves....... | |

Posted: 12/24/2008 6:45:14 AM | [" I was looking for a woman who could be my best friend, a great companion and more. I wanted someone who knew a few things different than I do, yet has some of the same interests and agrees on at least some of what we feel are the important points in life. Sure, that’s a very tall order and one I wasn’t sure would ever be filled. "]
I think that Dbndon stated it so well that it needed to be brought forward in this thread. I'd be interested to know if other men over 60 feel the same. | |
