| Ladies...is rejection harder at our age?
Posted: 6/28/2007 8:07:13 AM | I've said it before and I'll say it again and they will delete it again..
But the truth is It does not matter how gorgeous an older woman is a man no matter his age thinks he still can score the young hot ones..And most NOT ALL on here are more interested in the young woman..
So that being said..
I have no picture up and have no plans to do it either..
Pictures NEVER tell the story. It is the personality and the gestures that make a person.I think Pictures actually distort the first impression, who looks like their pictures?? It's either too good, not good or simply does not look like you..
A drawing would be about as good.
So never feel rejected by having someone reject a picture..It is after they know you when they say they don't like you at all is when you have really been rejected!!
And even then SO WHAT..The good thing is that when we get older we have learned enough about life to know that the only opinion about ourselves that is needed is our own.. People can have other agenda's and reasons for saying and doing lots of things..
Love yourself and if you are satisfied with who you are.That is what will draw the 'right' person to you . | |

Posted: 6/28/2007 7:14:49 PM | Celh, I hate to admit it but I have to agree with you to a point. I've been looking on this and other dating sites and have noticed that most men put the oldest acceptable age for a woman at at least 5 years younger than them. I even saw one where the guy was about 50 and put 18 - 35 for the woman! What a dreamer! But hey, if it works for them, they should go for it! I would! lol
I don't agree with the not posting a picture though. People want to see and everyone's opinion is different. Some guys will look at my picture and think - no - and some guys , not very many obviously :(, will look at it and be interested enough to read further. I don't think I'm vain by any means but I don't even read the profiles of men who won't post a picture. | |

Posted: 7/2/2007 8:09:11 AM | I have had many similar "rejections" I emailed and talked on the phone .. sent a recent picture and even though the fella KNEW I rode a motorcycle when we met. Somehow after one hour beverage and talk we were totally incompatible and I was too "big" and motorcycles were too dangerous etc. etc. huh? I have dozens of these "interview" type meetings that led to nothing. One I actually got to several dates with and finally intimate...before he suddenly stopped calling and then EMAILS me to say he randomly met someone and is "in love" huh? EMAIL? how tacky. It's yuck at any age but it does start to feel hopeless sometimes when this happens over and over. Hang in there!!  | |

Posted: 7/2/2007 8:17:49 AM | | I believe its difficult as we get older, when younger we're busy with friends/partying, then having a family, we are very occupied. Then....... friends move, get married have children, our children become independant and where are we? We begin to wonder where life is going on this fast track and will we ever find what we're looking for, then to be rejected takes its little stab in the confidence level, until we pick ourselves up again and move on. | |

Posted: 7/2/2007 12:55:46 PM | Rejection sucks big time. But, none of these things online are real until they are real! Sometimes we get pretty excited thinking, this is the one, woohoo. And then poof, it's gone.
Maybe in some ways it's easier to deal with online because we haven't made that face to face connection and haven' exchanged those kisses.
It's just another fantasy up in smoke.

Posted: 7/2/2007 1:15:46 PM | Rejection, what is that?? This is the internet, you havent a clue what your really going to find once you meet in person, now do you. If a real life offer is never made you can never be rejected. Everyone isnt for everyone. I dont consider anything real until I actually meet the person, in person. Quit looking for immediate fixes, and true love will find you. I have met some fantastic men from internet dating, Im still here, because I havent met THE fantastic man. Enjoy the venue that the computer whizzes provided us and good luck.
P.S. as far as age, I would of NEVER contacted men 10 years ago, my husband would of killed me, roflmao, but I like me better every year, we have so much to offer that cant be found in the babies bouncin around us. TRU DAT! | |

Posted: 8/11/2007 10:04:40 PM | I agree rejection is never fun at any age, but realistically, the odds are worse now. When I think about that, the rejections don't seem so bad.
If you consider the numbers thing, it's a lot harder for older women to compete now There are so many women for every man, than there were when we were younger. The men have so many to choose from within our age group and then, of course, the younger gals who are looking for financial security with older guys are in the mix as well.
Not to sound negative, but it seems logical. Am I wrong on this? | |

Posted: 8/13/2007 7:39:16 AM | Rejection, always been there, always will be. To me, it is how you approach anything, you can let it bother you, or chalk it up and move on.
Life is about little disappointments, and also about being happy with who you are or who you are with.
For me, I don't sweat the small stuff.  | |

Posted: 8/13/2007 6:49:36 PM | | Damn if there are so many women too choose from, why is it my inbox is not overflowing? Or is it that we are all just too damn picky? | |

Posted: 8/13/2007 7:35:18 PM | | I think the bottom line is that neither men or women are looking for someone who will make them LESS financially secure in the future than they are today. Both men and women want at least an EQUAL partner on all fronts. There are simply an increasing number of reasons for rejection as we get older . The majority of those reasons relate to children (of any age) and finances. | |

Just too damn picky!
Everyone is looking for the gold mine. Except me. I'll settle for the shaft.
Wait that didn't sound right. Lol
By the way the phone number I posted above I stole from the Manitoba forum. Check it out you'll be sure to get a laugh. | |

Posted: 8/14/2007 9:20:22 AM | | A very close male friend once described his revelation about rejection: "It's God's way of looking out for me--that I won't be yet another male victim of a woman featured on Oxygen's channel's 'Snapped' series." | |

Posted: 8/14/2007 10:15:13 AM | Rejection is easier....but it is the concept of rejection that is tougher. See, we don't have 50 years ahead of us to screw up and find someone. We are hearing our clock tick. That is what makes us susceptible.
Damn it.

Posted: 8/14/2007 2:49:58 PM | I am with ^^^ .......... If it is tougher now it is because of the time limit.....
The older I get the less desirable I may become.............
still ........
Me? I dont sweat the small stuff either.......... | |

Posted: 8/14/2007 2:55:47 PM | | If a man isn't into me, I can understand and cope with that. It's when guys pretend to be interested but then don't call or return your calls. Why couldn't they just say "Not interested" to begin with? It's like they (some... not all) couldn't grow a spine if they had an effing donor. | |
