| What a man over 45 looks for in a relationship.
Posted: 6/1/2008 3:56:52 PM | This is my first time posting, and I thought that you guys might enjoy this:
WOMAN'S POEM
Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong.
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who'll call,not wait for weeks.
I pray he's gainfully employed,
When I spend his cash, won't be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! Send me a man who'll make love to my mind,
Knows what to answer to "how big is my behind?"
I pray that this man will love me to no end,
And always be my very best friend.
MAN'S POEM
I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac with huge boobs who owns a liquor store and a golf course. This doesn't rhyme and
I don't give a shit. | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 9:21:58 PM | | I look for a fun companion, a confidant, mutual support, mutual chemistry, excellent and frequent sex, not necessarily in that order. I detest hassles and want to enjoy my life. | |

Yes, animals can sense a person's quality right away. I wouldn't date a man that my dog disliked. The reason is, I had a dog that really disliked a person our friend brought over, watched him like a hawk. We later found out he was a thief. They sometimes sense that you aren't comfortable around them, but if they are aggressive toward one person and not others, there is a reason. | |

Also Paradoxas. Hilarious!
So skunk, let me clarify. I want to make sure I meet your standards:
Do I have to provide my own clippers to do your mom’s toes? No problem!
These kids … is it enough that I run along side the ice cream truck & buy treats for kids only within a 5-block radius of my house?
How do I know that she’s a waitress if she is in public? Is it okay to mistreat a server but not a waitress?
My dog peed on my foot yesterday (really!) & I didn’t get mad – I am that saint mentioned in post #2!!! Okay, so I was walking too fast and ignored that he needed to stop… sheesh
So, when we are comfortable with each other, are you looking for a woman who will finally tolerate your toxic gas-passing?
Respect: oops, guess I just blew that one. Or did you when you pulled the sheets over my head?
Mutual interest? Easy. .. ME!!! | |

Posted: 6/3/2008 1:13:39 PM | | Aleyrebel, yep, my dog adores people. He's an attention hog. But there have been a couple of people that caused him to cower or even growl & bark. I'm sure he's got nasty-person radar. | |

Posted: 6/3/2008 7:53:35 PM | If I knew what I was looking for in a partner, by my age I would've found it. I guess I'll never know because I've decided it's foolish to make a list and search for someone to conform to it.
Still, I do believe the best is yet to come.

Posted: 6/3/2008 8:27:45 PM | | I'm new at this internet socializing and somewhat intimated by it, but I have to say this particular thread has really been interesting and enlightening. Most of the people who have commented have been great and I have really enjoyed reading what other people look for in a relationship even the tongue in cheek stuff. The list Skunk originally listed contains a lot of what I would look for in a man, except for the decorating of their house or apartment. Some of us have no decorating sense and revel in it. | |

Posted: 6/4/2008 12:20:54 PM | Skunk never did specify what he looks for. He only listed the areas of interest that he examines. He never did say what he wants to find.
How she treats kids: He might actually be looking for a woman who cannot tolerate kids because he is not interested in munchkins -- how she treats animals because he needs a farm hand. Or maybe he is afraid of having another girlfriend with 17 cats.
Family: He might want to see her interacting with her family so that he can be sure that she is not too attached or maybe he needs more family connections.
As for the decorating ... that's a pickle. If she has a sparse, tidy way of decorating, no ornaments, everything in it's place and "those cooking utensils must never go into the drawer with the baking utensils" ... there could be all sorts of trouble when the two get cooking in the same kitchen (even just on sleep-overs).
Really, it isn't a bad list once you have reached a point where you think that you want to make this a LTR or even move in/ get married. Those are the types of things that can be terrible surprises if you take a giant step forward before looking -- you might step in something that sticks to your shoes.
But it is too analytical or intellectualized a list for just dating and getting through the shell. | |

Posted: 6/4/2008 1:48:19 PM | I utterly disagree with horse185 who says “Only one the only thing i insist on in a woman is she has a pulse” Maybe it is OK for him (in which case why is he alone?), but that’s not what majority of us are looking for. As for paradoxas’ comment Msg: 102 (and many more by the way) and the poem, it is clearly and indisputably a feministic assault. ASSAULT. And I am fighting back against the message, not the messenger. Which brings me to the following:
This is a simple comment on the article called “Thousands of men travel abroad in search for foreign brides” by Kenneth Agee in New Times newspaper (Phoenix, AZ area), page 114 for May 29-June 4, 2008.
I have nothing to do with this newspaper and do not advertise anyone or anything, but I am quoting the following (the grammar as printed):
“Foreign bride service has now become a main stream.”
The company owner is an American and he is not suicidal. Therefore, he does not state WHY so many American (and foreign) men don’t want to marry American women, most of which are Queens, Princesses and other such Goddesses extraordinaire. Except on POF, where some of the women assign themselves fish names for no reason that I can understand.
“The success of our Latin tours run about 75%, the Russian and Ukraine are slightly less. Compare this to local dating service which have less that 1% success.”
I don’t know whether these numbers are correct, but they are probably close enough to make the following statement: there is no way in **** that Plenty of Fish has 51% success rate while trapping people’s search by zip codes (except searches by keywords.) It says, “Plentyoffish generates over 300,000 relationships a year (another webpage says 500,000) making Plentyoffish.com the world's largest singles site and is the largest dating site measured by relationships created in the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom.” Just why would 51% of people from the allegedly biggest dating website in a world (such as millions of people) notify POF about their whereabouts? Who can possibly read that many emails? Why keyword search by most obvious topics gives out only 2-7 results in the whole USA? Why the weekly “matches” are virtually always the same and there is no way to click “Do not show again?” You cannot get rid of the same profiles and search worldwide because POF wants you to waste as much time as possible and would not allow to click multiple countries at once.
“According to a repot by US Immigration Department, foreign marriages have almost twice the success rate of domestic marriages! So you are taking a bigger risk getting married to someone in the US.”
I did not say it, I am just quoting.
Beside, I am not suicidal either and will not go into lengthy explanations as to why so many females have profiles beyond any civilized comments, not to mention outright lies (whether on this website or any other). But men’s attitude towards brides in pastures more greenish is very telling regardless of vicious hatred and merciless retaliation by arrogant feminists as a response to such quotes. By the way, I made a search on POF using the key word “relocation.” Guess how many results I’ve got in the whole USA? ZERO. How is that possible if so many people leaving the country in droves?

Posted: 6/4/2008 2:03:22 PM | As you are describing the USA male, I am probably not qualified to comment on the motives of the beast. However, the article you are quoting from discusses the phenomenon of men hunting down brides in foreign soil. I suppose since hunting for ivory and near-extinct non-humans is illegal, one must now settle for that other critter, the bride. She is not so illusive a beast and proves to be easy prey for the armchair hunter. He need only buy a few supplies: a plane ticket, passport and maybe a box of chocolates (??? I don't know -- in WWII it was nylons) .
I don't know how many people on POF are looking for a wife or a husband. But, of those who are looking, do they really want to eliminate the process? Do they want to do away with all of the wonderful firsts and the romance.
K, nuf said. Gotta put on a good coating of chap stick, get out there & do some serious frog-kissing. | |

Posted: 6/4/2008 2:23:48 PM | | I had a half-brother who divorced his wife of 25 years and ordered a "bride" from the Phillippines. She was young and he was in his 60s. He treated her like a slave and she took it. She would wait on him, hand and foot, and I came to the conclusion that perhaps is why some go overseas for a bride. Most of the women in North America wouldn't take all that crap! I know, some do, but once you get a foreign bride to the US it is also difficult for them to return to their home country.. JMO | |

Posted: 6/4/2008 3:38:03 PM | ^^^^^ Once you bring a foreign bride to the US, the reason a man sought her in the first place is defeated.
You are right, AW, that IS why SOME men go overseas. There is another proportion of men who seek women overseas NOT as a means to find a slave. | |

Posted: 6/4/2008 9:37:43 PM | Why is your 'cut-off point ' 45 ? What happens at age 45 ? Did I miss something?
I just want the same what I wanted all my life : that what I can not give myself,- that what is specifically feminine, with all the inconveniences that come with it.
You can't have another man in a woman's body, not usually. - And how boring !
Nobody said it would be easy. The really good ones sell fast, or never even come onto the market. But they are around. It's actually quite simple : treat them with respect and love and you will be greatly rewarded.
Another question: why does it seem nearly everybody is hostile, frustrated on this forum ? | |

Posted: 6/4/2008 10:26:04 PM | | Just on the surface of this it looks inaccurate: "foreign marriages have twice the success rate, etc." What do they do with the people who marry to get into the US? I know two women off the top of my head who married foreigners for a quick few grand, and two other women who got "taken" by foreign guys who convinced them they were sincerely marrying for love, then disappeared when they arrived in the US. And what are they calling success? When somebody doesn't speak your language well and you don't know theirs, they have all kinds of thoughts and feelings you can never share. Is that love? | |

You see women as inconvenient?
Nobody said it would be easy. The really good ones sell fast, or never even come onto the market. But they are around.
Ewww! that sounded like a sexist remark to me. Another male expounding the opinion that if a lady isn't snatched up almost immediately, she's somehow defective, seems to be the insinuation. Either that, or this poster views dating as a "meat market" or "used car lot".
Sorry undeterred but you sound like a man who is hostile and frustrated.
Just my opinion. | |
