| Attraction in your 50's
Posted: 7/10/2007 3:54:36 PM | The Attraction in one's 50's-----50 was a new decade for me.....I HOPE that I can look @ 60 next year with the same Vibrance and Quest for Life that I have always had....
ALL of this depends on how we take care of ourselves.......that is the key, and just because I am 59 doesn't mean that I still don't expect the person that I get involved with to take care of himself and want to look his best, too........
My former was 13 years older than me and wayyyyyyyy more passionate than the men I had encountered prior to him........it's nothing to hear of men in the 70's enjoying active sex lives, PROVIDED, they took care of themselves.............
I am Still looking for my "Brown Eyed Handsome Man"......... | |

Posted: 7/11/2007 2:28:43 PM | | Aurora1, I dissagree with your statement"If a person lies about their age, they could lie about anything". I have a friend that trully looks 45 even younger, but she is 55. She states she is 50 yrs. on her profile. When she goes out on the first date she always tells them her true age first thing. Keep in mind she does not date younger men. Is this so wrong? | |

Posted: 7/11/2007 7:37:32 PM | I think there can be attraction in your 50's. At 50 I have experienced so much in life which makes me a kinder person. I take care of my looks, dress well, keep up on current events and a great conversationalist. I am much more comfortable sexually with a man and with my own sexuality. If a guy judges me only by my age....too bad. Why not look and meet the person before deciding they aren't for you because of a number. I have friends/family who are younger and are frumpy and boring as hell. Step outside of your box and add some variety to your life...you might be totally surprised.

I would see this as a negative if I met a woman who claimed to be 50 in her profile and turned out to be 55. This smacks of deception and game playing and does not seem right to me.
What is the point of not stating the truth right up front? | |

Posted: 7/17/2007 1:00:16 AM | | Your age is your age. We were all born on a specific date. Lying about your age in your profile is not a good way to start because it is, well, lying. Your weight can go up and down and be different, but not your age. You can look younger or feel younger than you are, but your age is your age and if you are willing to lie about that where exactly is the point where you will stop lying and how does one know it? | |

Posted: 7/17/2007 1:36:00 AM | Funny.
I used to list my age as 90, height as 7' + and with the same pictures would get all kinds of responses from women usually within about 15-20 years of my real age and who obviously knew I was being cute.
With my real age listed very few women with more than 5 years of my real age email me even though most of the pictures are the same ones. You don't think it could have been that height thing... do you?
Go figure.   | |

Posted: 7/18/2007 8:46:01 AM | Regarding the subject of this thread "Attraction in your 50's", I'm curious what it would take for a woman in her 50's to be attracted to a man. I read and hear lots of complaints from women about men being too short, too fat, "only interested in sex", hung up on their ex, in poor health, etc, etc.
I do understand that women in their 50's are looking for "chemistry" or attraction, but what makes a man attractive to you? Do you want someone handsome or "good looking" or is an "average" looking man OK. What personality traits and behaviors do you find attractive?
In short, I guess I'm asking women in their 50's the classic question of "What do women want?" | |

Posted: 7/18/2007 10:01:05 AM | golconda. Can't speak for what other women are looking for. I say on my profile what I'm looking for...
I dont' judge a man by his looks, teh size of his bank account or length of his fishing pole, but by the strength of his character. WHO he is carries far more weight with me than what he is.
I'm NOT ruling out men becuase they are short or tall, thin or beer belly, bald or nice hair or the color of their skin. I rule out men who arent interested in me (it's gotta be mutual) and rule out men who behave badly.
that said, yea, there's gotta be some chemistry, both ways... to look at each other and think, yeah, let's do this... | |

Posted: 7/18/2007 10:44:18 AM | As long as we breath there'll always be attraction.
But as we age I think we look for different things in people, I think we look deeper and notice less the window dressing around a person. We look for strength and character, a kind heart, a sense of humour and more. And I believe we value these things more than we did when we were younger.
Am I sounding old now? LOL | |

Posted: 7/18/2007 1:41:32 PM | I agree Rose. What I found attractive in a man when I was in my 20s is NOT what I want now in my 50s (56 here and damn proud of it). The days of fast cars, fast talk, tailored suites and a 6 figure income don't appeal to me. I've met and dated those types and quite honestly? They don't need a date!! They do quite well dating themselves lol. All kidding aside though, I'd like to think that as we get older we become less shallow in our expectations of the perfect mate. Give me a meat and potatoe man anytime. Face it folks, if we were meant to be 'comso models' we wouldn't be here. We're getting older. Our bodies shift. Memories require more post-it notes. I think aging should be a graceful yet adventurous time. Our kids are grown and on their own (in most cases), so nows our time to spread our wings, throw caution to the winds and just enjoy the people we've become. I earned each and every wrinkle and grey hair. I work hard to maintain those wonderful veins in my legs and I'll be darned if I let anyone make me feel less of a woman then I KNOW I am. I'm sure as heck no barbie doll but then again, I never did like plastic  | |

Posted: 7/18/2007 4:48:53 PM | In response to Golconda "In short, I guess I'm asking women in their 50's the classic question of "What do women want?"
I'm a YOUNG 62 and heck Golconda, I'd be happy to find a man who is breathing, can walk on his own, have some sort of income (even if it's Social Security), has good hygiene, and still has a mind to be able to carry on a sensible conversation. I'm not asking for much, am I? However, I would be open to finding someone younger than me.  | |

Gosh, if it were that simple none of us would be here because we'd all have found someone. The women I meet all seem to have a long list of requirements that men must meet before they'll even give them the time of day. And yes, I do know that men have a list of requirements too. I just seems that many women are seeking perfection in a man and aren't willing to consider a normal, average man. | |

Posted: 7/18/2007 8:53:29 PM | You've got me all wrong. I am willing to consider a normal, average man. I'm just beginning to wonder if he lives here in the Pacific northwest.
However, having a picture to see what the other person looks like is an advantage. After all, there has to be some physical attraction. I think that people over the age of 50 should look at their own body and say "yes, gravity has set in" and be happy to find someone who is compatible with them in other ways than "fit, slender". On the same note, nothing is more of a turn off to me than to see a picture of a man or woman half clothed. Let's face it, our bodies have aged along with the rest of us and wrinkles are not pretty. | |

Posted: 7/18/2007 9:30:48 PM | Well I've earned every wrinkle I wear and I wear them proudly.
As a 50s + woman I'm finding it hard to meet a man in my age group. (Ohh, don't be looking at my age limits I talk to many people and don't date women or 21 year olds.  ) I am not sure what the problem is but I would be happy to find someone close to my age that enjoys stepping out on the town once in a while. I do date younger men because I am confident in myself and I am able to keep up with them. | |

Posted: 7/19/2007 8:17:56 AM | I agree with "morefunwith2", if you were to met me out and about there would be
some natural attraction that would kindle a spark. Might be my smile, might be that I
made you laugh, that attraction should "over ride" any age limit. For sure that is a
fresh pic of me! I'm sinking my fishing line low... deep fishing... 
not just seeking that which is on the surface!  | |
