Lol, good one... Then you would have a medical condition to explain why you spend so much time confused, dazed and wondering what's going on.....lol  | |

Posted: 1/14/2008 1:36:33 PM | if one must scare someone so they would settle then whats the use. All it is going to do is cause problems later on down the road. If you care for someone tell them, if you love someone tell them. No need to hide your feelings all it does is make it rougher in the long run. If you tell the one you care for then you will know for if it is not returned then it will end and no further problem (hopefully) . May be a little or slight feeling of hurt but if one gets back in there and pitches then it will be forgotten soon enough. I personally don't say I care or love no matter what level I am feeling unless I know it for sure in me and hopefully I never have to resort to the scare tactic. to be perfectly honest that tactic would never come from me.

Posted: 1/14/2008 9:37:59 PM | I think you are right on. I also look young for my age, and am in good physical shape, secure, happy, and all the good stuff in life, but my age has a red flag. I think sometimes it is that the older you are the faster you will break down and become a burden to them.
What men don't realize is that if you are in your 50's, and have always taken care of yourself, physically and emotionally, then there is a good chance you will continue to do so.
I am 52, and find men in my age group very sexy, well adjusted and have all the bells and whistles, but 90% of my hits are from men in there 30's, because they enjoy the company of a mature woman. Funny how this all works. | |

Posted: 1/14/2008 10:25:47 PM | Please put your motorhome back on your profile.
I just received a response from a woman on POF. She says that she saw the picture of my "camping trailer". Despite the fact that the picture was obviously of a MOTOR HOME, she goes on to state, "Not for me!" Not only did she not make a wrong asssumption, but was rude to boot. I'm 55 and she is 62! Can't you still knit while traveling in a motor home? Yes, I should have known better!
I am having RV envy at this moment having for the first time experienced camping in a fifth wheel this past summer as opposed to my poor beaten up tent trailer. I am pathetically jealous of you. | |

Posted: 1/14/2008 11:26:55 PM | | I am over 40 and it is as someone stated earlier,as if life is just beginning,and I am looking forward to seeing what God has in store for me.A few yrs back I started to pray and ask Father to let me see me the way he saw me and the change began.It has been so transforming inside and out that now I have 20 yr olds asking or shall i say flirting with me and for the life of me I can't figure that out.I am not going to be some perverted teacher,oops that has been done omgoodness.to op--the statement told to u by this man was in my opinion a bunch of bull probably aimed at tearing u down in ur physic to make u think all u could be good for was to get money from or an occasional lay either way sounds disgusting to me. | |

Posted: 1/15/2008 9:52:48 AM | I know this post have been here for some time now, (since 7/3/2007) but I feel I should chime in. This is based on what was originally said that the start of this thread.
BULLCRAP! If a woman looks attractive and she's attracted to me, I say great! I would not stop dating someone or be scared off because of her age. In fact! I would want a long term relationship with such a woman because she has had a life time of experiences too and understands things better than a younger woman.
Now, it could be that your "gentleman" is talking about young men under the age of 40! If that's the case, I'd agree with him. The whole sowing the wild oats routine still rages inside them and staying to enjoy the finer wines of life (women in their 40's and on) is most often not what they are wanting. | |

Oh Baby Baby! Tell me More! It isn't just his Motorhome,

Fifth Wheel, or Trailer, or Camper, that sets me awhirl! I am putty in the hands of a man with the ability to sleep off the ground. | |

Posted: 1/15/2008 11:41:46 AM | | I don't know if the OP is correct and its just the numbers but I DO know jdmetro is not correct. I have alot more than 2 sentences in my profile AND 2 current (1-2 month old) photos. I honestly listed my age of 47 and that I'm a few pounds overweight. (quite frankly most of the people on this site including the men are overweight and they call themselves average!) On Saturday night I had a 38 year old man I was talking with in a club say to me "you will know what I'm talkin about when you reach my age" and he evidently thought he was my elder. Yet, on this site if I email a man who is my age and approximate education level, I don't even get a polite response. I just wonder if I kept the same profile, the same or even more current pictures, and changed my stated age to 39 and my stated weight to average would the very same men actually respond to my emails just because of the numbers! | |

Posted: 1/19/2008 12:21:27 PM | | I don't about you but NEVER had that problem with getting younger women. My biggest problem with the younger women was relating to them, ie., my wife is 41 and I am 56. Example: I attended the Kennedy funeral in DC and yet she wasn't born. My wife says that relating is not the problem, but they don't try. We also have different music and movie interest, but we compromise and want to be with each other. | |

Posted: 1/19/2008 2:16:39 PM | All I can say is absolute rubbish.
I was recently in canada and met a girl who is 45 plus a bit and she was great. If I didn't have to return to Oz I could have seen myself pitching my tent for good. Your a pretty girl so the idea that someone my age wouldn't find you a catch is absurd. The thing I love about women your age is you know what you want in life which makes it easier for someone like me to get on with helping you find it. And, your not so hung up on yourself, like many 20-30 y/olds, that you dont give to the relationship in a meaningful way. The other thing is you know HOW to do it | |

Posted: 1/19/2008 4:18:45 PM | I am not sure, but I think that men my age are more interested in younger women. They are not wanting a woman that is near their age, I am not sure if it is because they are trying to retain their youth in that younger woman.
I myself prefer a man a few years older than me, but since I am 56, I can pretty much bet that that is not going to happen any day soon if what you say is indeed true. LOL | |

Posted: 1/19/2008 4:33:45 PM | First of all.......... re: msg. # 927
I'm 58 and just got remarried.
And, the purpose of your post was????
I'm 59 and if I'd just gotten remarried I would be focusing on my groom and I wouldn't be here bragging on a " dating site". Na, Na Na ,Na Na! Sounds kinda like you're rubbing our noses in it. Isn't that for " Success Stories"???
Now, in answer to the OP'S question:
Should women in my st/age of life face " reality" and accept that our chronological age matters more to most men our own age that our physical fitness and all of the other things that we feel we have to offer Mr. Right?
Short answer........YES. We should accept reality.
Men aren't interested in an older woman. | |

Posted: 1/21/2008 12:15:22 PM | I am a male in my late 50`s
I do not agree. I am interested in an older Lady.
Why would I waste my time trying to teach a younger lady ie in the 20`s how to be a compitant love maker, when I can find a Lady in her late 40`s or older that knows what we both want in a sensual relationship.
Why would you pass up a mature Lady for a young kitten.
Like they say a good wine get better with maturity. | |

Because the young kitten is still moist?
And still brainwashed to believe she likes sex.
The original cultural brainwashing seems to wear off in the forties / fifties.
I'm debating...
How could I test which one I like better...
i) the average date
ii) reading and posting jokes on PlentyOfFish
I think they're fairly close in value for me.
Not sure, though.
Sitting here is easy and I have almost guaranteed laughs.
The date requires effort, money and results are haphazard.
It could result in sex but sex which is often sucky and oftener followed by the "permanent relationship" conversation. I normally go out on weekends but the last couple of weeks I've dialed back and spent more time sleeping and reading. Is this the ominous onset of PlentyOfFish syndrome? | |

Posted: 1/21/2008 1:39:17 PM | Let's examine the demographic: twice married, divorced 14 years and talking to an attractive woman 10 years his junior.
Now let's look at the content of his message: he's blunt, a little cruel, negative, and very likely hostile.
How big is the sample of opinion? One jerk.
This conversation makes for a good post, but this guy's opinion is not worth taking seriously by any of us, especially a woman who appears to have way more going for herself than he does.
Cheers Stargazer. Now go find the right guy and don't give up.

Posted: 1/21/2008 1:55:09 PM | | Stargazer46 --- At the risk of just repeating what has apparently already been said a number of times here, chronological age is just a number. I will be 52 in about three weeks, and if I was in New York, or you were in Texas, I'd definitely be trying to ring your bell. I've been in relationships with women older than me, much younger than me, and some about my age, and I have found that it all came down to not only whether I found them physically attractive, but also whether there was any "common ground" that kept us together, as well as our personalities meshing. As I think about this topic, I have realized that a woman's age is probably one of the last things I consider when seeking someone with whom to spend my time. | |

This from someone who is 52 and has his age filters set on his profile at 34 to 54. lol So 18 years younger is cool...but women three years older than he is are blocked from contacting him.
Another good example of someone who doesn't walk the talk. | |

| Calling all 40-60Something Males?
Posted: 1/21/2008 2:15:22 PM | | Didn't realize I had "blocked" anybody. I'll be glad to change the filter. It was still an honest statement -- I really don't ask a woman's age if I find I am attracted to her. | |

Your alleged friend is wrong. Come on down to FL and I'll prove it.
I wander thru the woods at least once weekly. I follow animal trails, I eschew dirt roads, I follow wetland edges, I bike pirate trails, I believe in wandering rights as the europeans call it, I am 59 yo and I can do this all day long. I generally don't start heading for the car until nearly sundown. There's a bunch of us throughout the country, thousands of us. Don't listen to that wing-nut. Follow your nose, and you'll find me or my twin out there. Drink a toast to Ed Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, and turn your back on that dude you quoted. He's out of it!!

...It's not accurate, not even real latin. A nonsense phrase invented by some British officer during WW2. | |
