| I'm Not Attracted To Men My Age....
Posted: 9/16/2006 10:22:49 AM | ^^^LOL Oh---but THAT'S different! Men who seek that are perverts, in the throes of a mid-life crisis, can't relate to women their own age, want someone dumb and easily manipulated and so on and so on---have you NOT been reading these forums?
This OP has all sorts of problems with men---ALL men it would seem! So far she's never posted anything positive about them or spoken about one she actually had a decent, healthy relationship with! I'm guessing after a while and making so many poor choices the bitter parts just can't help coming out, can they??!?! | |

Posted: 9/16/2006 10:46:26 AM | I was about to say the same thing about the women! I find most women my age tend to let them selves go...too bad you're so far away! I still play hockey 4-5 times a week keep up with the 20 somethings and as a goalie that's not easy!  | |

Posted: 9/16/2006 10:56:53 AM | | Hallelujah and amen to that sister ... I feel the same way. Very few men my age are attractive to me. And the thing that bothers me the most, other than being grossly overweight or being bald, is their lack of concern about fashion. Not meaning to be the fashion police or anything, but geeeez ... socks and sandals??? Of course, I've also seen guys 10 years younger who look awful too. | |

Please READ READ READ READ READ READ
OP did NOT write that! It was written by a MAN! YES! that whole scenario had just as many pages of angry women all upset just as you are now. The OP copied it word for word except everytime he wrote woman, she changed it to man-- just as an experiment to see how most of you MEN would react when the same words were used against you. And YOU have NOT disappointed her or the many of us who hate seeing this bashing of younger vs older and older vs younger regardless of gender.
Frankly I am amazed that ppl don't read some of the responses especially the ones the OP and others have written here, over and over, that she had not written that text and that was NOT her opinion. BUT HIS!
Do you understand this now?

Posted: 9/16/2006 11:29:53 AM | | Ok...so the OP was trying to prove a point and thats not her views but how many other responses are in here where women think that way.....All I can say is men on here will know who to avoid because of such shallow thinking. | |

Posted: 9/16/2006 11:46:47 AM | | Why is it that 50 year old women find the need to express that they aren't attracted to men their age. Does it make you feel better and help you to forget that you are starting to sag and bulg everywhere too? I'm 45 and honestly say that I don't find you the least bit attractive either. | |

Posted: 9/16/2006 11:48:51 AM | But not you Enrico.
Black Knight, and the many like you who come across as being really great guys, that is why this whole thing is so sad. Just too many ppl too upset. I don't understand why folks have to bash inorder to justify their actions but they do all the time.
Mark my post as those that will follow will NOT have read this discussion and the thread will go on and on and on.
Edit: See it has already begun again. No one gets it. | |

Posted: 9/16/2006 12:03:03 PM | Foxy--I'm fishing in the same pond as you, and I have a different take on it. I've dated older men in Victoria (I'm 35) and I have also been very disappointed, but for different reasons. The ones I've dated are physically attractive enough--it's their character and personalities that are the problem.
In my experience, these guys are looking for younger women for the wrong reasons--they are primarily sexually-motivated, emotionally immature, are egocentric and are actually looking for someone submissive, less experienced or vulnerable to dominate, even though they try to hide their archaic belief systems at first. To top it off, if they have been alone too long, some turn to the drink.
I haven't dated guys my own age in the past, because I thought few of them were still to busy sewing their wild oats, so I tried older men. Needless to say, I am quite put off now and would not consider someone more than maximum 10 years older--and he has to tell the truth about it. (One lied and he was actually 15 years older than me. Funny thing is, I didn't really care about his age at the time, it was the LYING that was the problem for me.)
That said, I started dating older men after my divorce (eight years ago) under the presumption that they would be more mature. In fact, they were the opposite. Now, after eight years, maybe the guys in my own age range have matured some and have caught up. Question is--where the heck are you finding them in Victoria?!? Please do tell... | |

Posted: 9/16/2006 6:50:07 PM | Hi PrettyPicky,
You have an interesting view concerning the difficulty finding men with the qualities you seek (emotionally mature, physically attractive, etc.) who are looking for an equal partner. You've intimated that they're difficult to find, but when they do present themselves you don't take the time to get to know them. From your profile it actually seems that you try to use some of the features of this site to "filter" them. Taking a little more time to look into some of these guys may provide better results, or perhaps you have other criteria you're not putting forth... ;-)

Posted: 9/16/2006 7:09:21 PM | Who, I have to go with you on this one. I'm not attracted to men my age either. Or men of any age if I pause and think about it. Somehow I think I've subverted the thread perhaps.
Saturday Night Live had a skit with some 50 year old who continually showed up for dance auditions. Pretty funny but sarcasm oft has fine grains of truth. We all want some handle on immortality (albeit temporary) and often demonstrate it in the people we choose.
I want a really old (read really really old) woman with huge .....tracts of land and diverse holdings. I'm done with kids. | |

Posted: 9/16/2006 8:23:05 PM | Sorry adventeur, not going to work. Whether a man is in my age range or not, I do not want him contacting me if he is contacting people looking for intimate encounters, does drugs, is married or is looking for an online relationship only. I stand firm on that.
Yes, that means I might have to wait longer to find the right one, but I'm willing to do that. | |

Posted: 9/17/2006 8:43:48 AM | As usual, people try to make this men vs women thing agian. Or try to get back at the other gender because they feel wronged. Ok, the point is proved that a man actually wrote it. See just as many womens profiles state that as well. I see this happen from both sides, so why not be truthful and state it as such?
I agree people should try to take care of themselves, but my vanity is not so great that I must look much younger then my age and try to obsess over it. Old age takes over no matter what you do, and sooner or later you are going to look your age. Haveing a good attitude about it is so much more important. | |

Posted: 9/17/2006 10:33:08 AM | | I am sorry for coming across contentious in this thread or anyother thread. I have allowed other personal matters to influence my mood this week. These threads are here to help dissect and provide insight to others and not a place to vent. The reality of it all is the phrase "To each his/her own" If you are only attracted to younger people than that is your choice. It is not something that hurts anyone else. Everyone is different in their likes and dislikes. For me....I am 39 and feel good about myself....more so than any other time in my life....and I thought how childish it was for me to feed into this thread. I am more upset at myself for having that moment of insecurity. Because truly it is insecurity that causes us to take offense by the opinions of others. | |

Posted: 9/17/2006 2:29:00 PM | | Op....excellent thread and I have the same problem but a great deal of it stems from the fact most men my age don't find me attractive. I am contacted by younger men but rarely by a man my age. I will be reading the posts to find the answer to my dillema. | |

Posted: 9/17/2006 2:50:24 PM | | I'm not attracted to men my age just because... why? They usually have a bad history with women of their past, they have bad attitudes towards relationship, they seem possesive and they aren't as quick to jump into something fun like a run or a jump in the lake or a spur of the moment anything. They seem less happy than younger men and they are always second guessing me and they put too much pressure on the new relationship to "make it happen" too fast. I like the freedom of a younger man, his not in a rush type attitude. And I like the looks of a younger man. I like to keep fit and look young and I want the same in return. And it helps that I can have the interest of an younger man. It's easy, they just like me. Now I am just looking for the right one! | |

Posted: 9/17/2006 2:59:39 PM | Younger men want to have fun....the last 3 dates I had with men my own age
think watching TV is a fun date, has nothing to do with looks or if their not in perfect
shape has to do with....they must have forgot how to have fun. | |
|
| I'm Not Attracted To Men My Age.... *
Posted: 9/17/2006 3:39:42 PM | well sorry about your choice for dates... LOL... seems like the common factor in that was well -- YOU.
Anyway, I know 2 women that don't like men their own age either.. they like Older men... scary ain't it?
I think it's all about what you want... whether you want to sit on your butt at home or go out... older guys can be fun too! 
And don't be upset... I'm just picking on you. | |

Posted: 9/17/2006 4:01:40 PM | I like women that are comfortable in their own skin, unique, independent and respectful of independence in others. That usually means older. Age is irrelevent to me. As long we like each other's look and personality, I am up for a great soaring time with them and we will surf, scuba dive, water ski, deep sea fish or other exciting things that keeps us amped!
Peace | |
