Posted: 3/19/2008 6:25:55 PM | Let me see ...Security, the 15 kids at home, need money, debt, tired of Dating. Wants more in life(your wallet)..The free ride...
Ok Over 40 and all I can say is I'm very independent, good job, own home and PAID FOR..All I can want and more and certainly not looking for someone to support..Not looking for marriage or a free ride ...Neither am I looking to share this with just anyone...Now That I've got this far I'm not about to lose it to just anyone.. I want someone equally independent, good job etc so we can both enjoy life now to the max..without marriage. Being a woman all I can say is If I was a man I would be dammed if he had what I had and got married then taken for at least half of everything 1 yr later.......ADDICTED..........Stay single and enjoy it.. | |

Posted: 3/19/2008 7:46:23 PM | OP: I hope you will realize that some women had a previous marriage that was wonderful and they had an equal partnership. And, that is what they want again.They don't however,want to settle for a man who will not share the cooking, laundry and other household chores, at this stage in their lives. They also don't think they should settle for a man, who is looking for a woman, only to have sex with.They don't want a man who is looking for a purse or a little woman, who waits obediently for his commands and/or demands.
Most women are looking for a man who wants the " real deal", the whole enchilada, 'til death do us part" kind of relationship (with or without the certificate). If more men would step up to the plate and allow their integrity, honesty and sincerity to shine, their chances of finding their perfect match is possible.
Congratulations again Lola for finding the perfect guy for you. You needn't get a body guard on my account. I don't go after another woman's man. And, I'm sure a lot of the women on here are like me, in that regard.
In the meantime, as long as I see the " battle of the sexes" ad nauseum, here on the forums and in the real world, I'm not only, NOT DESPARATE to get married, I'm not interested either. Why would I be?
Tapping my fingers lightly on my desk top waiting with baited breath for ONE man to answer GrandmaBooBoo's question......hmmmmm? Any man? Step right up. Don't be shy. | |

LOL! how about "weekend" rates John? Do you offer frequent flyer discounts? LOL! No, really.....your rates are not unreasonable at all. MUCH, much cheaper that owning a husband!  That's only $545 for 3 hours of something I can enjoy TOO....right about the same as it cost me to keep the ex supplied with health insurance after the divorce.
I was going to say that they're advertising $99 flights to Las Vegas on bookingbuddy.com, but OMG...I remembered they have things there called "wedding chapels"...so scratch that idea! LOL!
DrFred: we've seen your pathetic plea for women over 40 to prove they're undamaged by flocking to you needy guys....but we aren't buying. You could take about 20 yrs worth of lessons from a guy like John whos confidence is based on his own intelligence and integrity....and NOT how many desperate, clingy welfare moms he can attract! Women over 40 (most of us) have learned the difference between our needs...and our wants. (Desperation is linked to neediness) I'm sure you aren't able to distinguish the difference, but men like John are not intimidated by women, because their sense of worth comes from within themselves....NOT through how many women are desperate to marry them. THESE are the men that "undamaged" women adore.....men who know how to have fun, and be fun; who aren't so full of insecurities that they whine about everything a woman says, does, thinks, or feels. | |

And, if I may add to this. There's a difference between emotionally healthy needs and emotionally unhealthy needs. It's the emotionally unhealthy needs that are linked to desparation.
Dear John:
love your sense of humour. but most especially your healthy sense of self. And your rates are within my budget! To cut down on travel expenses could you drive?, take the Rainbow Bridge into Canada and head due east on the 402 about an hour and a half?
Signed:
An adoring " undamaged" woman ( with healthy needs) who's not desparate...... | |

Hmmmm, I can see the wheels turning now....John's thinking..... wow, 3some? LOL! | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 7:03:04 AM | | Phoebe I would take the tunnel not the bridge and I would have to stop in Windsor to see some relatives on the way. Plus I would stop in Chatham to visit my place of birth. I have to find time to spend in London, relatives there too. Oh and while I'm at it I should go to Missisauga and visit more relatives.......geez I may as well visit that hot Moonchild chick from this site during my travels. I'll have to take a few days for this adventure. | |

GrandmaBooBoo I have no desire to have a 3some. The thought of diappointing 2 women at the same time doesn't appeal to me. | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 7:17:41 AM | | Perhaps you were a good catch and they couldn't wait to tether you. Seriously, the women I've dated older never talked about marriage. It was the younger ones that were more interested in that. So I'd write it off as coincidence between those two women. I do think nowadays women wait later until having a family and getting married. If it were a first marriage I'd think that might have something to do with it. But if they are divorced with kids would think the wants may be different. | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 7:53:26 AM | I don't know one woman over the age of 40 that is desperate to get married (I'm sure there is; I just don't know one) and quite a few married women over 40 that are desperate to get single.
I can tell you that I know single men over the age of 40 that are desperately searching for a wife....and many that are searching for a nympho on death row (preferably one that owns a golf course) lol.
Judging from the single/divorced over 40 crowd that I know, it seems that after a break-up/divorce it is generally the man who is prone to getting married fairly soon or having a live-in relationship (not necessarily the nymph on death row).
I also see a growing number of men over the age of 40 becoming single parents after a separation/divorce. Most seem to cope quite well while others are lost and desperately searching to find a wife/mother to take over their household.
Now in all fairness, I will add that I also know men over the age of 40 who are in no way desperate to get married. | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 7:58:08 AM | Woohoo...I am "quivering" in anticipation of John's arrival! What to wear, what to wear??? No worries my Phoebe, we kin share darlin!
OT: The last few notes perhaps have been gibberish, but I think proves a point. Just accept each other as we are. No finger pointing, labelling as bitter. We waste ever so much time doing this, how on earth can we date and even marry if we so decide??? | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 12:40:44 PM | | Been there ( twice! ) and never EVER again! I'm perfectly happy having my independence now. I'm not even looking for a guy to live with again! You'll probably find it's the women ( and men ) who've had disastrous endings to a marriage who aren't in any rush to go there again, despite their age! | |
