Posted: 4/17/2006 7:17:49 AM | Well, Sorrall, aside from the horse training, professional fishing, successful sons and owning the home, we are kindred spirits. 
I have some jokes about the roping part, but they are for private mail... 
I may have stumbled across you back when I was young and came down there for spring break. And I mean literally "stumbled across". I used to drink a lot back then.... | |

Posted: 4/17/2006 7:36:49 AM | I agree with Eddie on this, that once you narrow down the potential profiles there are not that many to choose from. The biggest problem I have after that is getting reponses to my emails from men. I have my paramiters set for 40-55 and I can honestly say that when I send an email I rarely get a response. I don't think it is my looks, I can string more than 3 sentences together, I don't think I have baggage, so I think it must be my age. It seems to me that most guys in this age group are looking for younger women (at least where I live) and I just don't fit in that category. It appears from reading the forums that a lot of the ladies are also looking to date younger guys. If I wanted to date guys in their 20's or 30's I would have no problem finding dates but I don't date guys the same age as my kids.
I don't know what the answer is, for me it is to keep searching and keep the belief that the right person for me is out there someone where. As my Mum always says "What's for you never goes by you". | |

Posted: 4/17/2006 7:38:21 AM | Eddie are you on here again being a devil
How are you ? Hope you had a good holiday
You know what ? I love when people come on a site with a list of all their accomplishments
To prove that they made it. No one cares expect for YOU
You have been ALLOWED all these wonderful things by the grace of God
because in a minute it could all be gone
If you did not learn anything from Katrina, 911, and voting for Bush twice
You never will
What people really wanna know about you is....
Do you play fair and get along with others

Posted: 4/17/2006 11:22:08 AM | eastsideeddie. I feel so sorry (sniff,sniff) Put yourself in my shoes. I am 73 and the only matches I get are women in their 80's. I send messages to women in late 50's-60's and either I'm blocked or get no answer .. I'm new here and maybe I just don't know the rules yet but, why when I take my time to send a message , when I try to send, it gets blocked. Why can't it say I can't send before I go thru all the time to send ?  | |

Posted: 4/17/2006 11:30:21 AM | Well, it should say when you click "contact" at the bottom of a profile that you don't fit that user's criteria and not even let you type the message.
You get matches that are women in their 80s? What are they doing, typing from the urn? What are the listed activities, reminiscing? | |

Posted: 4/17/2006 2:34:39 PM | the Pickins arent slimmer (nor are we at our age)
the Pickers are smarter.
at 20 we saw, comitted, tolerated that which we shouldn't have; till we could no longer, and divorced and raised our kids seperately. (bows, thanks that judge in SF that gave me custody of my sons, fine young men now)
At 40, the horizon filled with mornings full of sunshine and beds in which we waken alone, we choose again on the wrong basis. The void has grown and it clouds our mature judgement like hormones clouded our immature judgement at 20. (age approximate, your age may vary)
Im here in Minnesota (land of the overweight) requesting only to communicate to anorexic artists with a libido rivaling wilt chamberlain that go to church and volenteer for community service. I can laugh at myself (sob sob). I am not laughing at you eastside
widen your search criteria, be willing to not only walk the walk, but fly the flight, and be willing to win. Thomas Edison said it takes a hundred failures to discover one perfect success. And if he didnt, he should have, the jerk.
I say: any endevor where the integrity and skill of the participant can effect the outcome of the result, requires that the participant acknowledge the possibility of failure. You cant win them all, meaning you have to bring your own bandaids.
Maintain your own integrity, never compromise on the core stuff, kiss her if you find her, till you have visions of not having visions cause you went blind in your old age and she still holds your hand. | |

How true your words are..it's funny when your young it's all about getting married, having a family and growing into your old age...then one day it all changes...
Life is that game of chance...spin the wheel of fortune...
Now your older and supposedly wiser  so we think the pickin's got slimmer...but the reality is we see things all so differently and don't want to be hurt or make the same mistakes..what ever the reasons are...it just seems no one wants to take the chance and just see what happens and go from there... | |

Posted: 4/17/2006 3:14:23 PM | | Mumble mumble #$%^&* The dynamics of forums on here. I was thinking about Mr. "Caps " version of "Women in the Mind of a Jilted Man" and how I was going to have him put out of his misery , when I saw my mentor... ....get blamed for it. Oh whew, she saw the error of her ways and oh my god didn't he look so innocent? Nice look on you Eddie; different, but nice . | |

Posted: 4/17/2006 3:14:32 PM | Cooldiamond:
Insulin resistance often responds to a controlled carbohydrate diet. Have you tried it? You don't have to be overweight....
And I must say that if I'd known that so many men on POF who seem to be interested in sex were looking for heavy women, I might not have gotten down to a normal weight. On the other hand, no, of course I would not have done so. I'm very happy being off meds for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I'm sure my insurance company is equally happy for me.
Besides which, I'm not interested in being a pillow for a night. My cat thinks I'm a pillow, and he's extremely annoying.
What the hey! is that dancing green banana all about? He's even more annoying than my cat. | |

Posted: 4/17/2006 3:17:09 PM | | Tarheel. You may be able to deal with him better if you think of him as a pickle or a jalapeno. Green bananas don't make sense even when they aren't dancing. | |

Posted: 4/17/2006 3:31:44 PM | | Thanks. I'll try thinking of him as a pickle. Don't think it's gonna make a lot of difference, though. I am emoticon phobic. | |

Posted: 4/18/2006 5:22:57 PM | "30-40? Are they all over here playing music?
Rod Stewart, Gowan, Average White Band."
No wonder the pickin's are slim. People seem to be time warped on their musical tastes. Am I the only one who has moved on to today's music? "How many profiles have love 50 or 60 or 70 music. And the love all kinds of music except RAP" (Raw American Poetry). Maybe the picking wouldn't be so slim, if people tried new things. What do you think ladies and gentleman?
Sure some Rap is garbage just like some Rock is garbage. Maybe if we listened to new things and ideas of today, we could breath new life not only into yourselves, but possible new relationships. (And no, I am not suggesting that we all go hang out with the younger generation.) While I am at it................who hangs out at our age? I gave up hanging out in my teens. I notice profile of my age listing "Hanging Out"?
What about checking out other cultures..........no, I am not suggesting marrying people from other cultures. I am suggesting (and I know that not all people can afford it, but we baby boomers should have enough money for some travel) that if we experienced other cultures, we would see things from their culture that would make us look at our culture with different eyes. I can't believe how many things I now experience where I ask myself why did I keep doing that just it seemed to be the norm.

Posted: 4/18/2006 6:41:32 PM | | OK.......so "it may get Cloudy, but If I Ever Lose This Heaven, will you help me Pick Up The Pieces?" are words to a rock (?) song that I have long since forgotten??????? | |

Posted: 4/18/2006 7:45:25 PM | | the pickins are slimmer, the men are sadder, it seems that the older men in my age range don't take good care of themselves and look alot older than they are. Then some will lead you on and don't come thru. I think it works both ways. At our age you get picky and then are told you don't have the right to be! | |
|
| Slimmer pickin's when you get older?
Posted: 4/18/2006 7:49:14 PM | I find that the only ones who try to tell me that I can't be picky are the ones who have been rejected a great deal.
The ones that haven't been rejected are picky too. | |

Posted: 4/18/2006 8:17:21 PM | | So true Moraima-Picky is NOT A BAD THING-Does a guy really want a woman who is not so picky ? Then they can say to themselves "I think she has been around"-what do you think ? | |
