now I have enough work to fill my former timeslots for bad sex.
It's been so long I'm not sure I know what "good" sex is or "bad" sex! I think I need some refresher training, some OJT, so to speak. But then, that would be "just wanting sex" and the dreaded "quickie," though as others have said, it seems like lots of us are getting quickies.
Oh, to be so lucky. | |

Posted: 1/12/2008 9:53:24 AM | I only date men OVER 50, on the theory they MAY have finished most of their midlife crisis. Men in their 40s are so confused and in so much denial.
Men who have had a major health crisis already - heart attack, prostate cancer, etc. - tend to be a lot nicer. JMO. | |

Posted: 1/12/2008 10:58:13 AM | Ahhhhh its great to see that no matter where I am in the world, there are the same problems with singles. No one wants to date me here and the only reason I can think of is that I am of the old old age of 53. I would be willing to date any age so long as they are interested in me as a person and can keep up with me . So long as they also had a curious mind age is a number  | |

Posted: 1/12/2008 11:29:47 AM | Ya'll wouldn't believe the amount of people who put a younger age on these sites in order to come up more often in searches.
The only reason I know is because I've been on and off the sites and see the same photos, same ages as years ago. They don't age.
I'm talking years because I was primary care-giver for my parents for many years and my 'relationships' took back seat. Only now, after parents passing away, do I feel free enough to actively 'date' again.
Soooo point is... I've entertained myself via the computer and came across POF back some time ago. But, it's not just POF... other sites I've scanned (didn't join due to no forums) and I swear... same faces... same ages as many moons ago. | |

Posted: 1/12/2008 8:53:57 PM | Give it a few months and I’ll be in the 50 age group, and it scares the crap outta me, I think dating a younger woman takes away some of the fear of old age
(I guess in some cases it can be same if you’re a woman looking for a younger man) | |

Posted: 1/13/2008 9:13:29 AM | | I will be 53 soon, I still prefer to meet someone older and wiser? I also find that the younger guy just wants to hit the sack and put another notch on his belt, so I try and weed those guys out. It is hard though, being out of circulation for 7 years. But hopefully 2008 will bring new adventures and possiblely the right one.... | |

Perhaps subconciously you're looking for a quick life insurance settlement?
It's been so long I'm not sure I know what "good" sex is or "bad" sex!
Bad sex is when you've avoided sex with your wife for five weeks, you know she's annoyed and confused but you're fairly sure you can't sustain an erection without a little abusive language or attitude and you're positive that she'll prefer a position which requires too much bending and concentration so even if an erection can be maintained, orgasm will be a distant, unattainable goal and there's suddenly a ton of work to do at the office again this weekend.

That's not my issue.
It's my experience that they're just crazier and kinkier! | |

I've been on and off the sites and see the same photos, same ages as years ago. They don't age.
There is someone I know on this site who has two profiles, in one he says that he is 53, in the other 58. I dated him in 2006 and he was 58 then (at least that is what he told me). I wonder how old he will be next year? | |

Posted: 1/13/2008 8:48:43 PM | At the age of 27, I married a 55 y/o man. If he was still alive, I'd STILL be married to him and he'd be 77, now. If I liked men over 50, back then, why wouldn't I like them now? Truth be told, I haven't been with a man UNDER 50, in over ten years - there's a lot to be said for maturity and experience.
Now, fellas - want to spend some quality time, with a recently-turned-50 grandma? | |

Posted: 1/14/2008 2:43:07 PM | The fear of aging is so ingrained in our society. A few wrinkles and panic sets in. I must agree with most of the other posts that age is just a number. At 53, I still have children at home (teens, but still at home) and the energy that would make the Energizer bunny pale in comparison. The men I have had dated have been considerate, very much the gentlemen in that they know how to court a potential date, and need to take a nap in the mid day.
I prefer the younger men as they can keep up with me!! But the younger ones I have met are not well schooled in the art of courtship. Call me old fashioned  | |

Posted: 1/14/2008 5:02:00 PM | I don't mind being 51, but to be perfectly honest, I would have preferred to stay 44 forever:)
At 44, you're not quite at the mid-forty mark yet, so you can still relax.
You're still "young enough", yet you're "old enough" to know better.
You still have youth on your side, yet you're now considered "mature".
Your baby years are behind you, and you've got a lot of living under your belt.
You've gained some valuable "life lessons" and you're looking forward to many many more.
But at 51, I find that there are days when I'm starting to think that whatever life lessons I didn't "get" before, I'm no
longer interested in "getting" now...fuk it...there's only so much maturity and wisdom I can handle!
Sorry, but gimme the magic age of 44 any day :( ):
Then again, maybe I'm just having a bad day...who knows?

Posted: 1/14/2008 6:14:54 PM | | I'll probably get crucified for this but, for those who say he/she cannot keep up. What are you doing running Marathons or Triathalons? Give me an idea as too what I need to brush up on to get your interest? I'm not sure any more if most of these can't keep up statements are not just someone saying they want a long term relationship but really don't. It's just getting real hard too figure out what people want anymore. | |

My best year was 23, and I'm sorry to say it's been a downhill slide since then.
By the way, I was single at the time. Healthy, fit, active, no debts, enough money to have fun, and very few responsibilities other than showing up for work and paying my rent. | |

Posted: 1/19/2008 5:35:31 PM | I just turned 50 and I do not even know how to knit, can you believe that! well, I 'm too busy going to the gym, taking care of my seven year old son, working over nights as an RN, hoping to pursue a masters degree, and occasionally go out with friends ,I am often mistaken for someone in their thirties I personally like to date men younger because I tend to relate better to younger people, however close to my own age would be great if I could find someone who was youthful in not just looks ( and alot of that has to do with how you take care of yourself) but in outlook , with an openess to new things, such as music and style. It seems hard to find in men over 50 or close to that age but I will keep looking. | |

Posted: 1/19/2008 7:07:29 PM | for me, it's not an age thing at all...i've know men in their twenties who are too old spirited...too worried about making money or getting ahead ('old spirited' isn't the right word...maybe just 'old poops')......and i've known men in their late 50's and 60's who are quite young spirited...finally getting to a place where they can relax and enjoy life...
basing someone on age, in my opinion, is like basing someone on skin color...when i was teaching i had on my wall mlk's 'i have a dream' speech and think..."it's not the color of your skin (or the age of your body!!) but the content of your character"....
i mean, if someone is looking for what's on the outside, i really think they are missing what's on the inside....
...it was picasso, i think, who said "it takes a long time to learn to be young"...and for me personally, i agree. | |

Posted: 1/19/2008 7:26:45 PM | Year ago I turned around and almost bumped into a woman who was probably in her late 60s but her face was so unbelievably nice I stared at her from like two feet away until I realized I was staring. She didn't seem to mind though. It was one of those Hmmm moments.
Now I'm 53 but people say I don't look a day over 52 1/2.

Posted: 1/19/2008 7:32:39 PM | I'm just turning 50 and really happy to do it (means now I can retire with my medical). Guess it is sad that I'm excited about that.
Anyway, I think it really is up to the individual person. Some older guys have way more energy and smarts than younger guys. From my experience anyway. | |

Posted: 1/19/2008 8:23:12 PM | This is funny coming from a guy,
it's usually guys wanting younger women.
when the guy is older..
than young guys showing interest helps our deflated ego,
for what most older men have passed by..
Men over 50 are usually very nice to be with. | |

Posted: 1/20/2008 1:09:24 AM | I am 48 and therefore am very close to 50 and consider my age group as in the 50 mark. I tend to like men near my own age or older, as we have more things in common about life in general. I do not like to date men to young because they are usually not looking for an older woman for a long term relationship. If I was only looking for casual dating, then maybe I would consider it, but I'm not.
My problem usually is that the older men are used to their freedom, like it and only want casual dating, leading to casual sex. I have had many men my age tell me that they prefer younger women. So, the issue is not gender specific.
Men over 45 usually are at the same phase of life that I am in. The children are raised and moving on, job security, have experienced divorce, have the same maturity level in activities, music and are more forgiving of what age has done to our bodies. Older men "say" they are looking for a partner and want long term, but I am finding that they do not want that woman to be in their age group. They think younger is better and arm candy still is a turn on to make them look younger or more sexually viable. Some men say younger women can keep up with them on a physical level. Someday, he will not be able to keep with her!
I am going to stick to the hope a man close to my age will realize I have a lot to offer and can be tons of fun, vivacious and young at heart. My life has just begun! I may not be able to sprint the mile, hike a mountain, dance until 3 a.m., but I have a lot else to offer.
Age is a state of mind, but I think I'll pass on the much younger and stick to what I know. I say...whatever you want...just go for it! Just be careful what you ask for!.....lol | |
