| The magic age of 50?
Posted: 1/20/2008 7:20:15 AM | aaaawww Thanks ak transplant!! lol
I just turned 50 on the 16th of this month - I LOVE IT! half a century and still goin strong. Wooohoooo!! (oh .. yes I am still willing to receive cake!! lol mmmm cherry cheese cake please! lol)
OT - To each their own. I've seen profiles that state "No one over 40" or some other number. Whatever. We're all entitled to our preferences, whether or not others will agree is irrelevant. I know that if I see a preference that puts me outside of that persons 'criteria' I just move on to someone who might be interested. I've never understood why people get hung up on other peoples preferences rather than placing that time and energy on someone with whom 'they' might be compatible.
JMHO

Posted: 7/16/2008 6:49:37 AM | "why do guys of 23 want a women of 50 ?"
I was beginning to think it was a part of a frat challenge
but after talking to some of these "children" they are sick and tired of the greedy little girls they meet : Too clingy and they want to the guy to spend all their time and money on them. And they are too picky! Now can you imagine???
I pat these children on their heads and steer them back into the kiddie pool. By telling them this . What would YOUR mother think if you and I got serious and you bought me home?
I would love to meet a man my age but so far ... the one that claim they are my age look and act like my father's age group | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 5:15:10 PM | | age is an attitude more then anything even though you cant stop the clock from moving forward...as Clint Eastwood said, you have to spend more time in the gym to just stay the same.....buddy get some grecian formula and tell them you are 49 and see if that works for you and work out every day lol | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 6:14:44 PM | Awww the joys and the magic of age at 50 !
Well I'll be 50 in January and if being in my 50's is half
as fun as I've had in the prime of my 40's I'll be happy.
Age is just a number and it's all in how you look at yourself.
I think I look great for 49 and don't show my age and well
no surgery of any kind yet and not that much gray LOL!
It's like this you just keep getting better with age.
Happy 50 th to those that are turning Fifty!
 I think it will be fun to see what comes up over that
steep hill and it will be fun to see what I can do and can't do
in my 50's but have to say age does not bother me.
LOL There is always a boy toy I can get haha j/k winks
Truly I'm looking forward to turning 50!
Yours,Brenny | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 6:30:16 PM | Well all I have to say is that if that woman can still skydive, ride a motorcycle, pilot a hot air balloon, fly a helocopter, play 18 holes 4 times a week, SCUBA dive every chance she gets, and still have time to run TWO companies, She might be able to keep up with me. But what do I know I'm 60 and by her standards stodgy I guess. But just for the record, at 60 I can still swim a mile in an acceptable time. I weigh 192lbs. I weight train, and find women my age unable to keep up with me. They always say, "you have so much energy, I get tired just watching you".
So the next time some 'old broad" tells you your to old, tell her to p_ss off just for me. | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 7:26:42 PM | I really don't understand telling someone that they are too old.. I think it rude if she is going to the trouble to say anything... why not just say you aren't her type... because actually other then not wanting to rob the cradle myself, I've decided age isn't the magic recipe ingredient for a successful relationship...
I think it's a "funny" age actually as you do feel really young inside, but you wake up and yes, you may still look great but the subtle sands of time does show on your face... for a woman it can be devastating especially if she's gotten on with her looks as a younger woman... and before you guys beat up on her for her shallowness realize this, it's the men who have put her on that pedestal .... | |

why would a woman who posts a profile on an Internet dating site who says she is 50 or older tell a man who is 55 that he's "too old for her"?
Because she's as narrow-minded as the men who will only date women who are significantly younger than they are.
I look for are people who are interesting & lively that I resonate with. I don't fret about their age. | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 10:46:57 PM | | If you have the right attitude, any age is a magical age. I turned 62 last week and I love it. I loved being 40, 50 and 60, and I expect to feel the same way when I hit 70. (I'm not taking any bets on 80). I'm very lucky in that my late wife and I didn't start having kids until I was 38 and she was 33; with two of them (17 & 19) still living at home and the oldest (23) visiting a lot, I'm exposed to new music, new ideas, and lots of fun and laughter. I'm also lucky to have been able to retire early and have the option to do more or less what I want with my time (including doing nothing when I feel like it). I've set my age range here as 51-62 or 63 for three reasons: despite what I said I don't really think I'd have much in common with someone younger than 50, and 55 is probably more realistic; I seem to find women closer to my age more attractive than younger women; and I don't really expect to be inundated with emails from anyone under 50, probably because of the perception that anyone over 50 (not to mention over 60) is past it in more ways than one. | |

Sooooooooooo , I had to look at your profile......
BTW, is that why you have 55 on your profile and you are 60? So those old broads leave you alone?? | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 5:55:53 AM | Here's my two cents:
The same applies for women. If you tell a guy you're over 50 they don't want to know you. There is a stigma to age that is outdated and needs to be revised. 50 truly is the new 40. If I tell a guy I'm 45, they love me, tell them I'm 50 and they run for the hills.
Many people think newer (or younger) is better. I think the opposite. Youth and inexperience is no match for experience and maturity. However there are many people who are over 50 who just act old and I think those are the people that turn the opposite sex off. I personally know a man in his 70's who looks great, has tons of energy, is very active and I'd date him any day over a boring 40 year old.

OMG! This is what I have to look forward to? Turning the big 5.0 next week! Damn!
While I am not looking forward to it, I don't care if men don't make contact due to my age. It is what it is and I is what I is. He no likey, he no have to looky! | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 9:05:02 AM | | I really dont care what age someone is, I just hate when someone deceives me with it. You can really like someone but then one of the cornerstones of the relationship is built on falsehood and makes you doubt everything else. Posting old pictures and being vague about your age is just IMO stupid and if you find someone is to fickle to want to date you cause you are over 50 isnt it their loss. | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 9:43:52 AM | | Methinks the ladies who you mention missed the point by a mile. they met or have heard of old stodgy dudes and assume (we all know what that does right) that we are all that way. since i hit the half century mark i feel like, in my head anyway, i am getting younger in a lot of ways. i laugh more, enjoy things more and just seem to be more content. stodgy? nah. sure there are some and i'm sure the counterpoint is strong with some ladies (and gents) but this old parrothead aint buying were all that way. if hitting fifty was so much fun i wonder what 60 will be like? | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 9:53:34 AM | | I will be 54 next month and feel more alive than I have at an age. Age is only a number it's the man that is important. I have found though when I get an email saying "liked your profile would you mind if we chatted" vs. HI babe/hon/chick I really like your tits wanna talk dirty to me? Maybe this is why we prefer a more mature man? You think? All ages are magical and everyone has a preference. Great topic! | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 10:10:28 AM | I put that I would like to meet men the same age but have changed since joining a dating site because:
You get various sorts of 50 yr olds, there are those that have given up, hair uncut - clothes from by gone days - when you ask how often they go to the gym they laugh, ask them about healthy eating and they tell you about their last burger dripping with fat onto the chips and laugh.
Then you get the ones who date a woman a day, exercise every morning and afternoon, eat only micro-biotic food, drink the glass of red wine a day to keep the ticker going, drive a sports car on lease, have their hair styled rather than cut, & go for facials, they fly the world in their lunch hour, absail the walls of the office to avoid the lift, they ride a motor bike while jet skiing the oceans, geesh, earn more money than I pay in council tax (that is meant to be a joke) but have as much personality as a wet fish on the ice slab.
I think you have to go for someone who has the same values as you, the same wage earning as your the same life style as you and forget the numbers.
Trouble is it is hard finding someone who does not want to get home from work and put the TV on while you cook them food, urghhhhhhh, not going to happen.
Life is for living and getting out of the home, why change a single life for a boring as hell single life in the kitchen or going out alone, cos he fell asleep on the sofa again!!!!!

Posted: 7/17/2008 4:37:22 PM | I'll be 55 in a day, or two, and would LOVE to date a man 50 or over who wasn't "stodgy, grouchy, grumpy, and mad at the world..."
So far, I haven't found him, so I am going to "bite the bullet" and go out with the next happy, relaxed 45 year old that asks me out! | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 5:49:05 PM | | Unfortunately most men that show age quickly do look, act, dress, and have that old voice. Unless you have been a sheltered stay at home woman your entire life you have updated everything about yourself. Men are not as quick to do this. I am finding myself, after always likeing the older man, wanting those my age or five years younger and this is just to have the energy level and all else close to mine. The older men seem to really age even in attitude and more set in there ways. I have grown children I raised alone and I a so use to adjusting to new things, new ways and always update my hair, my glasses (which most men never do), clothes and in general my entire attitude but only within a range. If you are 50 and try to dress and act like 30 you come off as an idiot. Keep in simple but always update yourself. | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 10:28:46 AM | I think you have two stereotypes of 50 year old men here. The stodgy old guys and the midlife crisis type who are trying to be 20. Either most of us don't fit in either category or I may be one of I kind. I am not sure which. Yep. I drive a sports car. The Miata I drive now looks a lot like the MG I drove in my 30s and the Triumph Spitfire I drove in my 20s. I like sports cars. I restore them, work on them and race them and I will probably still be doing that when I am 70. I'm not a millionaire. I do most of it on a budget. My latest roadster has air conditioning and electric windows, but as an old guy, I like those luxuries. Yep. I ride a Sea Doo too. I like to Jet Ski. I rode motorcycles in my 20s and 30s and would like to have another someday. I like anything with a motor in it. On the other hand, I have never had a 'facial' and I'm not really even sure where I could get one. I get my hair cut at Supercuts for $10.99. I go the gym when I have time and haven't had anything with high fructose corn syrup in it for years. I don't date different woman every day. In fact I haven't really had a date in years and I wouldn't mind finding somebody my own age, or any age who was at my energy level, but they are hard to find. I am pretty much monagamous.
I don't see myself ever being an old guy who drives a Buick, plays Golf and votes Republican, no matter how old I get. I rescue stray dogs. I take Multimedia Classes and Auto Shop Classes at the local Community College and talk to the 20 year olds about the latest Japanese Anime showing on Adult Swim. I am probably the only man in Texas who doesn't watch Sports on TV. I don't know what other guys my age do and I really don't care. I am an individual, not a stereotype. I think most of us are. | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 3:53:58 PM | | I agree 100%. I've met a handful of men who were obviously much older than their photos plus they weren't involved in half the activities they listed on their profiles. The funny thing is, they were still quite good looking, but the deceit was a deal breaker. | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 4:14:39 PM | | I turned 59 in July and I feel better than I did 10 years ago. I enjoy alot more activites and workout every day. But, same problem, not too many women in their 50s are looking for someone almost 60. Of course gravity efects us all, but hell, I'm glad that my health is good and I feel "young at heart" | |
