Posted: 8/27/2006 12:44:46 PM | Hi, EastSideEddie: Thank you so much for the nice compliment! I always get razy when someone tells me I look great for 59........
People either look good, or they don't......

The only way we get left behind is if we drag our feet. Keep well, keep interested and who knows who might find you interesting? | |

Posted: 8/28/2006 6:27:40 AM | I believe the key is being excited about life; people are attracted to people........who have that enthusiasm for life...
Drawn...like a moth to a flame!!
Rossal
Age has NOTHING to do with anything (well, unless you want to have kids, or something, LOL)...This is "our" time to shine!!!
So get out there and GLOW!! | |

More's the pity Iks. But it's much more fun than having the 'date' with someone who said he just wanted talk/email, and then you don't hear from him again. What do people who post talk/email really want? Or am I just naive? H | |

Posted: 9/11/2006 10:41:25 AM | (The reason I can't stand that eHarmony commercial is that I can't see myself wanting to kiss a wrinkled up old prune like that particular old woman is. )
Those are probably actors, but I love that commercial. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I love the way that man looked at the wrinkled up old prune. BTW, I think she looks pretty good. He looked pretty old too. I think it doesn't matter what the age, love is out there!

Now factor in peple who think that it's a good move to sell tehir house, pull their kids away from their other parent, take them 200 miles to a new school, all for what amounts to fresh sex. And then 6 months later they are stranded in a new city not knowing a soul and with no money to go back home, to no house since they sold it for Mr Wonderful
EastSideEddie;
and you are probably enjoying the hell out of her dilemma, and you may well be justified.But your comments absolutely give the lie to your statement about the divorce being "amicable".
I know some of your posts ARE humorous, in a bitter and cynical way, but many of them are also oozing anger. I truly wish for you that you come to grips with your pain.
That said, going back to the main focus of this post, yep, everyone out there is looking for a young, goodlooking, well-to-do person to have as a significant other...the deck is definitely stacked AGAINST anyone over 50 even.
However, one of the great joys in life is bucking a stacked deck, oversetting the appplecart,defying the statistics,messing with the heads of those who like to pee on other people's campfires, being a devils advocate sometimes and thorn in the side of the sour other times,and if you DON'T find someone who appreciates those qualities, just think of the fun you had /will have along the way!

Posted: 9/11/2006 11:37:56 AM | Who's dilemma is it that I am supposed to be enjoying? I didn't even know there was a specific "her" here. That was a generic comment based on the 3 or so dozen posts I have read here over the last two years from bitter women who left everything behind to run off with their new version of "The One" after 3 months of long distance chatting. And in 6 months were back on here posting about what a weasel the guy is, usually from the library because they sold everything to move.
And given that you know nothing about me or my past you would be best served to not pass judgement or psychoanalyze me. I haven't been happier in my entire life than I am now out from under the thumb of a controlling, condescending witch. That was 2 years ago, BTW.
If my choice to live in reality and not fantasize about some mythical utopian bliss that does not truly exist offends you, I suggest you exercise your option to ignore my posts.
Utopia does not exist. That's reality. | |

Your comment about the woman who ran off for "fresh sex" was so detailed that I assumed, perhaps unfairly, that you were referring to your ex. the
controlling, condescending witch whom you had an 'amicable' divorce from.
And I value your posts when they bring a warranted amount of cynicism to these forums. By and large, this site and it's forums have helped me to understand one thing, that the chances of marrying again, or even being in a quality LTR are probably about equal to that of a snowball rolling thru hell unscathed. It's made it possible for me to realize failing thus far to secure another husband or SO does NOT indicate that there is something horrifically wrong with ME personally. Rather , it's a matter of "those are the conditions that prevail". Most guys in the 40-65 age range are divorced, angry,bitter and afraid of getting "screwed over" again. You are absolutely right, that's reality. These forums have helped me come to terms with the fact that most men over 45 are to varying degrees, screwed up in the head by previous negative experiences, many of them to the point that they will never again be able to enjoy a healthy relationship. Rather than depressing me, that realization has set me free to enjoy dating and happily get on with my life. Oh,I still have an abstract faith that there are good men out there,relatively unscarred by previous bad experiences, and I may meet one sometime before I get too damn old to care. But, thanks largely to these forums being 5 yrs widowed and still single no longer feels ANYTHING like failure to me.

'amicable' divorce
Definition: we didn't fight over any property. All I wanted was out, preferably before had another psychotic episode and threw any more heavy objects at me when my back was turned.
The only thing we would have fought about is if she had tried to say my dog was hers and keep my dog for herself. Then you would have seen me on national news for what I would have done to her.
Other than that, I signed the papers, and got my freedom back.
Amicable divorce does not mean you remain best of pals. It means you do not fight over the divorce. If we were pals at all there wouldn't have been a divorce. | |

Posted: 9/11/2006 1:09:29 PM | Would a fair definition of "amicable divorce" be that the anger is set aside until AFTER the legalities are all dealt with?
Anyway, the thread is supposed to be whether or not 'over 60s' get "left behind". From what I've read, unless you run across a widow(er), someone who is single due to having been raised by wolves on a desert island, or the rare person who can take a calm and philosophical attitude towards past experiences, whether good bad or indifferent,yes the over 60s do get left behind. Look at it this way...it sounds like getting left behind is about comparable to missing your voyage on the Titanic. JMO

Posted: 9/11/2006 3:12:07 PM | I am not over 60, but i just might be able to give you guys some encouragement.
My Nana passed at 76. My Grandpa was distraught!!
After several years we persuaded him to join an over 60's club.
He was there less than a year when he came to my Dad (also gone) and asked if he could bring a lady on Xmas eve, a lady on Xmas day and a lady on boxing day for the approval of the family. We loved his lady on Xmas eve and he married her when he was already 86. She (Muriel) kept him going until 96 and she herself had 3 telegrams from the Queen.
Never say never and there is life after love!! | |

Posted: 9/12/2006 11:00:14 AM | ^^^^^ I agree with H48....you have to be willing to get out there and look for it.
It must be the "Hunter" gene in men that seems to never give up searching....and if you ever had been really in love...that feeling is worth finding again. | |

Posted: 9/13/2006 3:41:30 PM | I believe in the dream too, knight in shining armour etc. We all need dreams, if we dont', then what do we compare with.
It's hard meeting people sometimes, especially if you have been alone for a long time, kind of set in your ways etc. | |
