thaks smjle for accepting u made a mistake...takes a REAL man (or woman) to do that....

as for the guy calling older women ugly...oh boy...is he planning on killing himself at a certain age...cuz he's getting older by the minute too

thanks for the enlightened men on here who see it is a choice...I wish i could find a man who suits me close to my age...i'm looking....hasn't happened yet....And yes, men have been doing ''younger'' for years and years....they like younger and hotter, makes them feel good about themselves...so if a woman chooses the same path...dont get all bent out of shape about it...to call them ugly and whores, and fat, and whatever u sling our way..just childish...and proves how really ugly u are on the inside...obviously if we are getting younger men to take us out and spend money and time on us, then we must be doing something right...yesterday i got an email from a much younger guy i dated three years ago, and in it he let me know what was going on in his life and then said he wished he lived close by still so we could date again...very sweet

plus with us older women we wont say Surprise..honey..you're going to be a daddy!


^^^
Priceless and very very true.

sunbird,

Like I said to Wizard,...I love you! (in a platonic..sister way)

This thread has opened my eyes to how some of the regular forum posters react/feel on issues. Some have been real unenlightened and others simply/logically 'get it' Choices/Preferences. Works both ways. Those who are blind to it, may as well get over it.

And, those men who think the OP is too muscular, etc. should take a look at their own self. If they are not muscular, or even in decent shape, women just might take em to be 'too soft/feminine looking'.

There is always a ying for every yang and vice versa.

Ninki, I would assume so, especially for women. She would be past menopause. There would be no purpose and she would have no desire to have sex. I suppose if her mate wanted to, she might be willing to, but it is not something she would enjoy. A nice long hug would be just as good.


Smjle, you are a 23 year old boy, so you really do not know what women of any age like or don't like. No purpose? WTF? Sex isn't all about making babies!!!

I am a 49 year old woman, and trust me I want a whole lot more from a man than a nice long hug. As far as no desire for sex. You have got to be kidding. Once a woman goes through menopause, most have more desire for sex as they no longer have the fear of pregnancy hanging over their heads.

The things children say!!!

well see I don't care what people think of me, if they don't like what they see then they don't have to look. I have enough guys knocking at my door I am not going to worry about the opinion of one, or even a ton of people that do not know me. At least I am confident enough to post a pic.

"Do you honestly believe that sex stops once people turn a certain age?"

Ninki, I would assume so, especially for women. She would be past menopause. There would be no purpose and she would have no desire to have sex. I suppose if her mate wanted to, she might be willing to, but it is not something she would enjoy. A nice long hug would be just as good.




I almost snorted coffee all over my keyboard when I read this!

What a way to start the day, with this sort of ignorant nonsense! How long have you been on POF - 2 minutes? I am far from the only post-menopausal woman on here, and I assure you, we aren't just here for the forums. Or if we are, it's because we have a man - or men - in our lives.

Why on earth do you think we wouldn't enjoy sex after the possibility of procration has passed? That fact alone can make sex more free and fun - no worries about pregnancy. Personally, I became multi-orgasamic after menopause - and not from "a nice hug."

^^^ too too funny shore66! Gave me a giggle too!

I guess he thinks that men are the same after andropause? Tell that to Hugh Hefner!
Or maybe he views men differently? Double standards as usual.

well he IS only 23 but sheesh.

Hunny, you are seriously miseducated!! Older people are into sex until they die! Trust me, it doesnt stop at 40 or 50 or 60 lol. My parents are almost 60 and Im sure they still have a desire lol...

I know you are 23 (although you look way older, no offense-could you be lying about your age?) but seriously, you need to read something lol. Hell aren't there women out there having kids at 60? I saw one on GLOBAL news, 62 I think it was...

I will give allowances for the youth and inexperience of some of this thread's posters.

Here are some sex facts:

1.) Scientists says there is no reproductive need for the clitoris. It is purely for pleasure. A woman is a sexual creature until the day she dies, just like a man is.

2.) A man's sexual prime begins in his teens and begins to wane in his 20's. A woman's sexual prime begins in her 30's and continues on until she experiences menopause.

3.) It's true that some women experience lower sex drives after menopause, but not all. Further, men go through andropause...as mentioned by squirrly 1. This result is that many men experience a lower sex drive, just like post menopausal women do. Sex drive is tied to testosterone production, a hormone that both men and women produce.

4.) Just because sexual prime comes and goes, does not mean that the sex drive evaporates. In fact, many mature couples (ie, mid 50's - mid 70's) say that the sex is much more meaningful and pleasurable than when they were younger.

About aging and attractiveness...it is a fact that some age more gracefully than others. I have seen many men and women in their 40's and up that look 10 to 20 years younger than their years...and in many cases, look more attractive than many of those in their 30's. I've also seen men and women in their 40's and up who look a lot older. It's just a fact of life that we all get older.

A lot of very fine points made mostly by the women. some men are just ignorant and think their way is the right one. to bad. Now I am never going to say that I am a prize. I definately have my bad body shape (round is a shape) but I have not gotten this way through bad living, drinking, laziness, or any other bad habits that lead to a mans destruction. I have gotten the shape I am in through hard work in bakeries for 18 years, and an enormous amount of stress and depression. To understand a persons depression one needs to talk to them and find out why they feel the way they do. Now I am not going to sit here and ask for your sympathy because I do not need it. My depression, My problem, not yours. I do not let it interfear with how I act towards anyone, but you know that everyone says "oh snap, don't date him, he will just bring you down and hurt your life severly" Ladies. I know that all of you want exactly what you want, and that is just fine, But let me ask you, Are you still single? how long have you been single? and finally, What kind of man are you looking for? Superficiality goes all kind of ways but until you stop and think about the choices that you keep making in life and what kind of man you keep ending up with, maybe it is time to re-evaluate your preferences???

Wow, Who_The_Fox and many others, I agree that many more men let themselves go as they mature. It also strikes me strange that even though they have let themselves go they expect a real beauty with no flaws and usually want someone much younger. I'M gulp, 62, and it gets worse as they get older. I have met two men in my age group that I thought looked great. They had decent hair cuts, were very clean and dressed in decent clothes but all the rest were generally slobs. I don't get it. Even some of the pics on here of men in my age group turn you off. I am attracted to younger men but there is not many of those guys looking for an old lady. Then there are the 65 year old children with hot cars. usually a convertable, gold chain big ring and they have let themselves become hugmongus, dress like Charlie Brown then look down on most of the women their own age. Oh and how about those men who are in love with themselves and all their pics are without shirts trying their best to look 30. The skin, unfortunately, still gives in as we age. One of the men I met bought, won't say the brand, but he bought his after shave at the grocery store. Honestly, I did not get over that.

To be fair though I have seen some women on these sites that look worse than I do when I do my yard work. They should be ashamed. They have outdated clothes, old lady hairdos, and look like they must live on a Little Debbie delivery truck. I am not perfect but I try and I am proud to be a woman. I want to be proud of the man I am with as well.

Oh I forgot the most important thing I was going to say smjle you are soooooooooo wrong. Come on over and get an education. After 40 sex gets better, and better and better. Too bad some men drink or do drugs or take steroids till their winkies do not work after or even up to 40 but those that can still do and they are fantastic (as long as their bellies don't get in the way). Sex is the best after 60 can't wait for 70 and 80. You are too funny and you need to read a book One wonderful thing a woman should never lose is her sexuality, if she does she is crazy and she could do something about it if she just would.

Its sooo funny that this thread will be one that never dies....which in a way is good...it lets everyone know that women in the upper years of their lives enjoy the same things as their younger counterparts....and again have the choice to enjoy those things with whom they want, not who they (ughhh i hate this>>) would have to "settle" for....
I am in total agreement with those that made comments about some of the older men that are wayyyyy outta shape expecting some expecting some 20 yr old to dance to their tune..better bring out the $$ for that. Acting like that, you make all of us look like neandrathals..sad
I for one do NOT distinguish between ages...we all age, but we never have to grow old

On a final note ladies..just remember LOL..there are a few of us that will definatly keep our looks and our boyish figures well beyond our 50s..I plan to be one of those and with my luck..ill still be here looking for a fishy roflmao

Thanks; maybe later, but now I think I would be terrified.

Your profile [I can not be changed...] indicates you are rather set in your ways. I believe most older people are. Nevertheless, at church socials and other group settings older people get along wonderful. I think 'set in my way' only kicks in if you are in a long-term relationship. Therefore, it seems to me that older singles should forget about marriage and live-in relationships and just be friends and do whatever. Maybe someone will explain to me why older folks with grown children would need anything more than friends with benefits.

Before anyone rocks on him for this one...thats a good post with a very valid question
well done..something Ive never thought before..

I think a lot also may want companionship, someone to be there to hold them...to share their times with....just like all of us..to be in love. Goes way beyond sex.

This is an interesting thread, cases can be made on both sides of the fence, just remember, the weeds also grow on both sides.

As far as dating someone more than ten years younger than myself, I personally wouldn't, for one simple reason, life experiences. If someones intent is to just hang out with someone considerably younger than them, maybe, but long term relationships, I wouldn't risk it.

Now as far as the looks aspect, EVERYONE gets old. I wouldn't be so shallow as to think that a women in her 40's is going to look like a girl in her 20's, all things being equal. Now I'm not saying all women over 40 can't look pretty hot, but I'm seeing them with their clothes on, and a women that knows how to wear them the right way, can conceal a lot.

The comment about clothes on a guy holds a lot of truth also, I'm 45 years old, but I don't have to dress like my father, LOL! I regularly get proofed, and I think it has a lot to do with your attire, and the establishments you are going into. At any rate, just my .02$ for what is worth.

WoW!! I like that attitude!! I love older women, because they know how to treat there man. They don't beat around the bush. Usually a older woman knows what she wants and she goes get it.

A younger woman is always looking for a better looking man or someone that is hot! But treats her like trash.

I respect your comment & we need more women on here that are not affraid to be Blunt!!


Later,
Robert

OK this goes out to the avenging heroes out there. Dont defend someone or a gender in general from a comment its a falsehood for one and you are only doing it to garner favor. Remain neutral there is the trick. someone says something stupid be strong enough to let it float on by like any twig in a river would. You comment on what they say it becomes a dam against the forum continuing on it's flow. As to my earlier comment. it was more towards any generalizations made that, at any point in time. you all need to be nice, finish it up and then put it to bed.

Once in a blue moon I come across an elderly woman who is not fat. Genetics obviously. Because most females over 40 do look like the OP described males to look like. Rarely have I seen old men appearing as the OP described. And when I do, they still look like men only not buffed. Like Peter Griffin have stated: Lois, fat men don't get fat only women get fat. As for the few thin old females, their skin is very thin, wrinkly and they have the appearance of needing blood. Like the life has been sucked out of them as a spider sucks the life out of it's prey. Menopausal women scare me. They are bitter and angry that no man loves them and angry at the younger females. Others pretend to be in their twenties and some act as if they are twenty, making the twenty year olds, laugh at them. Sad to see this. What's also sad is that at 30, a woman is in her freshman year of menopause. At 35, she's in her sophomore year. At 40, in her junior year. At 45, she's in her senior year of menopause and in her 50's, graduating from menopause and well beyond appearing like a male, with an appearing mustache. A rude reminder that, with age, everything does get bigger, hairier and closer to the ground.

there is no set and percribed age for when women go through this stage in thier lives. Maybe you were just trying to be cute. And let me give you a nightmare you can take home are you contemplating your own, to use your words,freshman year into man-my estrogen is going up-pause here and cry? the physiological and chemical changes we all go through is a forming science one should never make a hard and fast factual comment on human physiology.The variables involved are too numerous to make a rational or cognitive statement about the subject. Sophomoric observation filters should be offered here. note to moderator. And just friendly advice careful with the quotes that one doesnt hold water. I apologize for this digress I usually wont tilt at someone but i have. Be objective and dont take offense people they didnt mean to hurt your feelings so you would have to strike back.

Thanks Manumit. You played so nicely into the OP's hands. She started this thread to show how some men make stereotypical statements which are based in their need to pursue younger women. Remember, young man, one day you will be in your 40's or 50's and most women in their 20's & 30's will look at you the same way.
