| Should over 50 people be less selective?
Posted: 11/23/2007 6:23:47 PM | i personally wont settle for second best not fair on you or the other person
and I'm so sorry all you ladies will now have to settle for being alone because the best one (me) has been taken. In fact there's been a re-categorizing of 2nd place so that there are now thousands of divisions in the 2nd place category.
and by having chosen the best lady, all you men that wouldn't settle for # 2 are now just chasing your tails.
all your chances of finding # 1 have been dashed.
with any luck, one of us could get run over by a bus and the whole # 1 thing will be re-evaluated. | |

Posted: 11/23/2007 9:21:33 PM | My experience is that there is a big difference between 50 and 60. Yes, we all start out getting visually turned on but as we age, we need to adjust our expectations by relying more on love, affection, and actually doing things not just being turned on by how someone "looks"..........If we don't make that adjustment, we will stay alone and disappointed because we all age...........
I know men in their 70's and 80's who look at the women they just married who are their ages and they love and hold hands and kiss passionately and when they look at their ladies, they see them as beautiful. | |

There is a woman at work who is recently divorced (two weeks) from her one year marriage. She is engaged to be married again next week. Exasperated, I told my co-worker "Wow I can't even meet anyone I want to spend more than a few months with and she is getting married, again!" She thoughtfully replied "Yes, but you are a little more selective." She said it like it was a good thing? | |

Posted: 12/4/2007 2:59:27 PM | Definately LESS selective!!!!!!!
Less selective on perfect bodies
Less selective regarding the hair on the head
Less selective about perfect skin
More selective on caring
More selective on matching qualities
More selective on spiritual compatability
Yep - there is plenty to be less selective about when you are over 50! | |

Posted: 12/4/2007 8:50:47 PM | | You said a mouthful! There are certain things that should never be compomised, but then there are some things that I can't believe they really matter to anyone. Some people will be so insistant on a person's looks being 100% (when their own looks are only 80%). When you are over 50, where in the world do you find 100% looks unless there have been face lifts, body tucks, etc. etc. If you can't face reality by 50, you deserve to be alone. | |

I've trawled posting of mid aged women who have dumped aboyfirned of six mnths, becasue he turned up on a date wearing an out of fashion plaited belt.
That shallow woman should have been far far less selcetive. But she wsan't fifty something. She was thirty something. | |

Given the choice I'll take the lobster any day, not settling for less. yummmmm.
But... that's the whole point.
You're not given the choice.
For the life of me, I can't understand why you'd go hungry if chicken salad is on the table today but the lobster ship hasn't come in yet. | |

Posted: 12/5/2007 4:05:38 PM | Funny thing. I just discovered I've pretty much been settling my whole life. I've always picked the 'best' available to me when I was 'ready' ~~ but never really turned down a "good enough for government work" prospect in order to wait for Mr. Perfect. . . . And then, after the fact, worked like h3ll to fix up the missing parts, shim, shave, negotiate to 'make do,' etc. And it was never good enough. Last time, when I finally felt I'd gotten it right, one of us died.
Now I'm in something where the doors are straight, the hinges fit, the knobs work, the latch clicks ~~ and I can say: no relationship to settling. Perfectly easy and easily perfect. And just amazing. Glad I waited, this time.

Some of us just don't like chicken salad. Our taste buds may not be as good anymore but with corrective lenses we are able to see the difference between chicken salad and lobster before we put it in our mouths.
When I was a child and living at home I had to eat what was put on my plate, I had no choice. When I was married I didn't have to eat what was on my plate but I never knew what might show up on it. Since I have been on my own I decide what is put on my plate. There are times when I decide I just want to "eat out"!!! | |

Posted: 12/6/2007 7:08:51 AM | Settle for less because I'm over 50???
Are you kidding?
This is my time to be more selective as I refuse to be with just anyone in my golden years. | |

Posted: 12/6/2007 3:38:01 PM | I think the main focus should always be on being yourself. If the true you is selective, then why settle if someone isn't what you're looking for? You should know yourself well enough to know that being alone is preferable to being in a relationship you don't want.
The right one will come along. Busy your days with things that you love doing and one day, boom, they'll be there. | |

Apparently starvation is preferrable to "polluting the sexual union" for The One.
Often the young perfectionists on software projects are like this.
It's a recipe for failure. | |
