| What do men 60 plus want?
Posted: 3/29/2006 12:30:35 AM | It's time for we seniors to get a realistic attitude here. I joined this dating thing to find a companion for outings, talks, or maybe to sit under the stars with some of my home made wine, talk about and reflect on past experiences. Instead I'm reading men's unrealistic expectations of what they want out here. Hey people, we are in the recycling bin of humans. We are going through it looking for the least damaged yet usable for a few more years. Sixty plus is the toboggan ride down and off this planet. I'm reading,' looking for someone between the ages of twenty eight and sixty five'. Say what you mean. You'd like one more hard body romp before you can't do it anymore or the viagra kills you. Another guy wants a good listener. In other words we are to listen to you and only you. Another wants to spoil one of us. Hey, I can spoil myself if that's what I want. Some of us won't even make it to seventy and those of us who do will be looking for companionship. If sex happens, we'll be elated. Most everyone says they don't do drugs, and that only means that none of you are suffering from arthritis, heart problems, and the many other inflictions we suffer from being blessed with reaching this age. Long walks? Give me a break. Eat right, don't smoke, exercise, we are all going to die anyway. At this stage of life there is no such thing as a long term relationship. I wish there was some way to get everyone on this dating line into one hall. We could mingle, and reject those we don't want in one shot instead of having to go through each and every profile because profiles are saying nothing. It's time to stop, look, and enjoy those things that we've all been too damn busy to even know existed. Lots of hugs, kisses, romance, long walks........Lord, I'd like to slap some people.: | |

Posted: 3/29/2006 6:01:41 AM | Hmmm..having reached a point in life where I can now joke my age reflects my sexual preference, (which should give the OP the delight of saying 'I told you so..LOL!) I can offer the following comments for consideration..whether this reflects the thinking of other males my age, I have no idea.
I have been single since divorce for almost 30 years..15 years celibate,and have lived alone for 12 of them..which should indicate I am quite comfortable with my own company, think with the head between my ears, and have grown into a way of life that suits my erraticand pagan nature.
What I am NOT looking for in the companionship of the opposite gender, therefore is one who has outlived her mate bemoaning the fact she has given the 'best years of her life to him'..leaving me wonder if the worst is yet to come: one who is deeply involved in a religion and is looking forward to the time her maker releases her from earthly bondage: One who decides my way of life and living needs a firm hand on the collar and a complete shaking up. to be moulded into her idea of what constitutes a Man; one whose dressing table is crowded with more cosmetics than that of one of my teen granddaughters, and spends more at the hairdressers every month than I do for a month's groceries; or one who resembles an ad for the 'before' picture in a diet plan, bemoaning the fact her ex ran off with a younger woman..and finally in my case, where income is limited to just pension income, someone who didn't enjoy life when young enough to do so, is now into spending large dollops of money on travel, or trying to recapture lost youth, and doing things she should have done 30 yrs ago!
As for the comment about drugs and aging, I consider the question in the POF profile to refer to 'hard and illicit' use..although I think it a pointless question anyway, as those who do use any are hardly likely to admit it..Mary Jane maybe, as it seems to be an 'in or kewl' thing to own up to today, .. much the same for alcohol use..who is going to admit a dependancy on it?
Smoking is simpler..you either do or don't ; I do, but don't use either of the above..never saw what anyone got out of them, considering the costs.
As for the reference to age range..well I have a family that goes from 5 to 42..and I enjoy the differences in thinking and attitudes across the generations, along with the differing conversations, so I am quite open to company of any age, and conversations on practically any subject, and yes..the ytounger ones do delight in hearing about my past..heck I can help them out with their history projects in many cases..I've lived most of what they are currently studying!
As far as company of my own generation goes, fine as long as you keep off religion and the litany of medical ailments, colour of the latest pills you've been prescribed, or the doom and gloom subjects of the world going to hell in a handbasket..and if you find me doing all the talking..*grins*..for goodness sake have something interesting to discuss from your end, and not a bunch of beliefs repeated parrot fashion from some 'expert' in the field, along with a closed mind to any other possibilities
As for sex..yes..my biology stirs even after all this time, but what stirs it is few and far between, as the lady in question needs to have brains along with some strange physical attraction to go with it...a rare combination these days and usually in an age group that isn't in the least bit attracted to me.
Life's a ****..and I am avoiding them..LOL!
As for a long term relationship..*shrugs* who knows? My grand father married for the third time at 73,having out lived the previous two, and passed on at 96..and 23 years is probably longer than most marriages today..who can tell?
As for being on a toboggan ride off this planet...I did that in my 20's racing cars and bikes..now I am fighting every inch of the way to stay here, and the kids are having me cremated to ensure I don't try digging my way back out of the grave...

I hope that your rant is tongue in cheek, if not it is truly sad. I think that our attitude defines who we are and what we will accomplish in life. Yours tells me that you are ready to roll over and die.
While I am still under 50, my partner is 63. He looks and acts younger than most 40 year olds. He not only is still sexually active, we average 7-10 times a week. I always tell him that if I had met him when we was younger, he would have killed me. He has a great attitude about life and doesn't plan on giving up until he hits 100.
Ageing is a reality, but it is how we handle it that matters. Roll over and die? No way. I have two quotes taped to my fridge:
"Attitude is the difference between an ordeal and an adventure."
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, drink in one hand - chocolate in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO - What a Ride!" | |

Wow! What an attitude. . . . Hope you have a little chocolate to take some of that bitterness away. Seems to me that you’re attitude precludes many of the best things life has to offer. Perhaps you might want to try some of those “long walks” for a while. They help clear the mind as well as strengthen the body.
Too many unfounded generalizations there to reply to here. So, let me just tell you about a few examples disproving your attitude:
I have three woman-friends who are slightly older than I am. All three were single for quite a few years and rather content with their lives the way they were, living alone. They would come to meet the rest of us a couple times a week for drinks, lunch, dinner or whatnot, but that was the major extent of their social life, other than woman’s groups.
Last year, the three got married again. How’d that happen at 65 years old? Two of them were at the gym with me this morning, the other had grandkids today and will be there tomorrow. All three are very happy with their new living arrangements. Well loved, too, I suspect by looking at them. The three husbands seem to be nice guys and are lately starting to become good friends with each other and the rest of our group.
Would I do that? Sure. I just don’t like the “dating around” part some think is prologue to a long term relationship. So, I’m a little slower about it. Also, I do not care for most of the things (golf, card games, etc.) many of the people my age like to do. Rather, I’m a lot more active than that. Well, truth be told, either I’m very active or sitting in front of one of my computers writing. There doesn’t seem to be much in-between nowadays.
As for maintaining your health . . . well, that’s your job in life. No one can do it for you. All we can do is pass you a pill or two for an ailment when you do not do your job correctly. You can disparage the walking and exercise if you wish, but that’s at your own peril. Even my 94 year old mother goes to the gym five days a week. She may not do a lot while there, but she tries, anyway.
I have a very realistic attitude. I plan to be using this body for another 40 years, or so. Therefore, it’s important to keep it in relatively good shape so I can enjoy those years.

I think these older guys are trying their best... they grew up in that time where you tell the woman what you think she wants to hear and let the chips fall where they may.
OOOh, yeah, the younger guys still do that...
No matter what the age, they still just want ... Oooh, yeah, me toooo. | |

I have found on theses so called dateing sites, that most ladies dont know a good man when they see one. I think they are looking for younger men to play with, or someone justto pat there bills. I am very dissapointed in the way some veiw a real relationship. | |

Posted: 3/31/2006 1:57:22 PM | Over 60, why not over 50 or over 70 ?
All the men who are here surely want the company of a woman, the women that of a man. The key is what intensity of company ?
Every man probably wants something different. BUT the best is a mature woman, in good health, good shape, who knows what pleases a man, is not clingy, does not rant about macho concepts, enjoys her sex just as much as a nice glass of wine or a good dinner. Now if the man does not know how to please a woman, as the majority are, then she just has to move on and find another. (Be careful, "please" does not equate to sexual ability)
There are such women around. I know some.
Personally I found that most women are not particularly good at making love, they are either passive or so shy that they have to be caoxed or coached along. The new make-believe grey cougars generation who want some kind of uplifting experience in bed are always a disappointment. All this makes for puerile behaviours all around
Ladies, I know that there are also a lot of undesirable men, they are the ones always after you ! | |
