After 45 do you feel threatened by the opposite sex? Posted: 8/5/2006 8:30:25 PM
threat·ened (thret'nd) - adj. Likely to become endangered en·dan·ger (en-dan'j?r) - verb. Put in a dangerous, disadvantageous, or difficult position Yes! I feel threatened! At nearly 60 years old, I have weathered quite a few storms, and come out intact. Each time, as the dust settled, I discovered I was stronger, had a clearer sense of direction, and was better prepared for the future. There is one place in my life where I am at threatened....as a single man, who desires a companion, I am vulnerable to... 1) Not finding a mate at all...or not recognizing her when she appears 2) Choosing the wrong mate...or for the wrong reasons 3) Choosing the right mate, for the right reasons, but encountering insurmountable obstacles In another thread, the subject of fear was raised...and I stated that I had faced my fears when I encountered them....My biggest fear is that I fail to face the challenges. I intend to live forever....so far, so good!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SPEED DATING????? Posted: 8/4/2006 10:17:57 AM
I think I could learn more during a 6 minute slow dance,,, - you little you - you know just what to say to the ladies don't you Actually, that six minute dance can be very informative.... Eye Contact - Close up or avoid? Holding in arms - Does she 'fit'? Dancing style - Stiff or fluid? Close or near? Where is her left hand? Sense of humor -If we stumble...do we laugh or feel the need to appologize? Intimacy - Does it feel like we are the only ones on the floor or concious of the crowd? Timing - Do we wish the music had not ended? Adventuresome - How does she react if I spin or do something unexpected? The above are all non-verbal communications which I think would tell me loads more about a woman than any 6 minute, stopwatch conversation could.

All In How You Dress! Posted: 8/4/2006 8:50:14 AM
When I dress up to go out, and I'm feeling flirty and looking pretty good, I get lots of attention, but almost no follow through should I ever exchange numbers. But if I meet a man who meets me in my regular jeans and a t-shirt everyday persona, he seems to be more likely to be genuinely interested in me. I think I am very influenced at times, by the way a woman is dressed.... Big turnoffs, indicating out of environment...especially if I am in my comfort zone. I think 'most likely is not having a good time here.' * Under or Over dressed for the situation.... * Immodest or overly modest for the situation... * Sweatpants....regardless of where * Ill fitting * too heavily accessorized...or too neat... Turnons * Appropriate, proper fitting clothes * subtle * look like they belong on her.

Do you think Men & Women will ever Trust each other,enough to be friends? Posted: 8/4/2006 6:20:45 AM
I have wrestled with this question and come to the conclusion that I don't know the answer! The word, Trust...has many meanings.... # Firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing. # Custody; care. # Something committed into the care of another; charge. # One in which confidence is placed. # Reliance on something in the future; hope. There is a common thread here....trust is something that must be earned through repeated experience, and involves such things as honesty, integrity, personal limits, morals, & etc. Yes, I think men and women can trust each other, but only after they take the time to know each other. All of us have been hurt, and have built in defenses in place to keep it from happening again...and Trust is a key element to tearing down the barriers and exposing youself to being hurt again. A simple series of questions... Would I trust this person: to forsake all others? to do what is best for the children? to make the right decision if I was unable to do so for myself? to remember to feed the dog? to get the oil changed? to do what they said they would do? with my checkbook or credit cards? to tell me if I am being an a$$? to be completely honest about their feelings? to keep their promise? to tell me when I am wrong? to cover my back? The list is endless, and we each have our own experiences that would affect our own lists. Each question has its own level of importance but if the answer is yes to these types of questions, then we could I take off our armor and trust each other.

Where I live, speed dating is not an option....but if it were... For those looking for potential shackup pals, perhaps it would be a good screening process enabling you to go thru your visual checklist..maybe a good laugh about how how nervous we are......but I would not expect anything meaningful to come of it.

Square Dancing Posted: 8/3/2006 10:32:09 AM
I'll add a few more... Early - Most squaredances are held early in the evening, making it an activity you can participate in during the week without suffering at work the next day. Non-Alcoholic - Without exception, no alcohol is ever included in the refreshments. You can be assured that you will not be accosted by someone who has over-indulged. In-expensive - Square Dancing is one of the most inexpensive evenings of entertainment out there. Membership in a club can cost as little as $20 per year. When visiting other clubs, admission seldom exceeds $4 per couple. Free Food - Almost all clubs provide free refreshments at the dance. Destination - Vagabonds adapt easily to the Square Dance Life....there is a dance someplace every night of the week. Club members often band together to visit distant clubs to encourage them to reciprocate. Dress - Square Dance attire can be quite casual or fairly fancy, depending on individual preferences and budget. Most women love to get all dressed up with petticoates, etc. Men, for the most part wear jeans or slacks, with western style shirt, tie optional. Out of courtesy, gentlemen wear long sleeves, so that the ladies do not have to deal with sweaty arms. Magic of Music - Something happens to us all when the music starts...and this is an activity you can continue well into old age.

Square Dancing Posted: 8/2/2006 7:38:38 PM
actually, if you can walk comfortably, you can easily handle most sets. The more experienced and older dancers know to keep the square small, so they only have to take small steps to the rythm...yes, it is good exercise because of the walking...but don't back off because you think it might be too strenuous. Most clubs also have Round Dancing, which is called like a square dance, but is really more like ballroom dancing. Most of those are usually slower in pace, too! If you haven't done it since high school, then you would definately need to take lessons which are offered at nominal costs by most clubs. It is a great chance to meet people from the club, since they usually angel i.e. fill in the square to help beginners.... The other benifits of learning square dancing, are that you learn patience, how to listen, and how to laugh at yourself. Warning! ---> Do Not Partner with SO for Round Dance Lessons! <---WARNING

Adventures in dating after 50 Posted: 8/2/2006 5:15:24 PM
A few years ago, one of my coworkers came in to the office (very late) with a huge bandage on the top of his head. When we asked what happened, he said he woke up at the hospital... We called his wife....and she relayed the story.... The previous night, he was out howling (we are uncertain if a woman was involved, but it is very likely) ...came home staggering drunk. He coasted the car into the driveway...sneaking in. He did not know she was sitting on the front porch watching him and the torrential rain. Whe he got out of the car, he remembered the birthday present his secretary had bought for her...and went to the trunk to retrieve it. As he slammed the trunk down, he realized his raincoat was caught.....then realized the keys were in his coat pocket...inside the trunk. Ever resourceful, Joe remembered that he kept a spare key under the hood...struggled to get out of the raincoat..the opened the hood and retrieved the key. That was one of the old style Pontiacs..with the protruding hood...yep..you guessed it....there was Joe..out cold! She left him there until the ambulance came... Joe has since remarried, and lives happily in New Hampshire with his new bride and their children. She, incidently was the nurse who tended him at the hospital.

Casual Dating vs Exclusive dating ............... Posted: 8/2/2006 1:29:36 AM
Thanks, Wingrider.. I guess I should have included 'mature people' as a descriptor of the people meeting. To move from 'both very excited' to 'it just doesnt work' in 10 minutes gives me the idea that something more than chemistry was involved. Unless this 'good looking' dude said or did something that was so offensive that she could not stay in his presence for even the time to eat a nice steak, I would chaulk it up to immaturity on her part, and he should be glad she left.

Casual Dating vs Exclusive dating ............... Posted: 8/1/2006 11:25:08 AM
I tend to agree with Muskoka on this....arranging a 'meet' just sets you up for a 'first impressions only' decision...without taking in account nervousness, etc. I prefer to set a date...plan an afternoon or evening together, so you get over the fact that you just met, and really get to see how you interact. This is especially true when there are many miles between you. It is best to discuss expectations....which should be: * To meet a friend in person for the first time. * To have fun together, seeking common ground not previously discovered. * To be with them long enough to relax and enjoy their company. * To get to know them better, so that you can assess the likelyhood of a second date. There is nothing wrong with being honest and cutting the date short if it is THAT bad, but I think most adults can somehow manage to have a great time if that is their goal.

It's tough in the interviewing process when they ask you what your salary requirements are. I had that happen 2 weeks ago, I don't care to discuss salary unless an offer is on the table. However, if you are "backed" against the wall, be sure to give a $10K range to play with. If you set a figure of say $65K for example, you'll be stuck with that. If you say $65K-75K that leaves you $10K of negotiating room. To paraphrase that...."He who goes first, loses" In salary negotiation, never, ever give a number...if too High, you will never know why you were not hired...If too Low, you are leaving money on the table. If pressed for an answer, ask about the customary salary band for that position for those already within the company...

Casual Dating vs Exclusive dating ............... Posted: 7/31/2006 1:31:59 PM
I think that when I do finally meet "the one", both he and I will know it and then the problem will take care of itself. Remember back when we were kids and dating? Did we scrutinize casual/exclusive? I don't remember any of us thinking that way. So for me? I have not changed my dating style and it has worked well for me so far. No issues, no drama! Wonderfully put! Overanalyzing is a wonderful way to talk yourself out of something...If it is exclusive, it will happen without anyone saying it...In an honest relationship, both will know...

Lately, because of miles, I am afraid....very afraid.....not afraid of the miles ...but what if this really is my fish? OMG, the changes ahead! I made the decision to take the long swim...and worry about what happens after that when I need to! I wish you good luck too, HL... Having a blast.... Nap time

menopause at 54 Posted: 7/28/2006 12:23:28 PM
As i read this thread, I found it a bit amusing! Somehow, this thread has migrated from a discussion of "menopaus at 54" to "terms of endearment"! In the deep south, young boys are taught respect for woman...and to address adults (or people whose status or rank exceeded their own) as "Ma'am" when as in "Yes, Ma'am" or "Sir" as "Sir, No Sir!" In the same manner, we are brought up in an environment where such nicknames as "Dear", "Sweetheart", "Sweetie", "SugarPlum" etc. are commonly used between people who care for each other. There are many other ettiquette rules, but I will include only one more.... When addressed by a 'title' or 'nickname', you have the opportunity to suggest another method, simply by saying something such as: "Oh, please call me George." This simple act eliminates the hostility on both sides and fosters understanding. When such a request is made, the polite thing to say is something like "I'm glad you mentioned that...and I will do just that in the future". END OF CONFLICT! Any other reaction, such as implying "hormonal disruption" is simply immature and totally out of line............... unless, of course, you are hell-bent on become A$$hole of the year!

What are we afraid of? What really matters after 50? A different long distance question? I'm so scared? Are we looking for perfection on the Pond? No baggage, is there any such thing? How do you jump back into the sex pond? Settle/Casual dating? Just tell me where are the men who want an old-fashioned woman? Something's Gotta Give? Does anyone else see a trend? or am I the only one? I'm not sure if it is a trend or just a timing issue...People get ideas for thread titles based on what is going on in their minds at the moment. Since none of us are here 7/24, that would mean a wide diversity! As I look at the list above...I see, not a trend, but a compendium of serious questions...it means people are thinking about their lives and seeking advice. While I agree that POF is a pond...one of the most important aspects of the forums is that you get to learn how to fish! You can discuss things with your peers, who are in the same boat. Some threads will, by their very nature, stay very serious...others will be light in tone! I am always amazed, however, at how my perception of each individual's personality and point of view takes shape and fills in the holes in their profiles. I, for one, welcome the diversity....and I have learned some things about myself, too! Some of these threads require introspective thought...others, just a sense of humor. Pick out the ones you like, and have fun! Gotta run...I think I got a nibble! Now, if I can just set the hook....

I took a different tack.....rather than have the 'Talk', I chose to listen to their questions, and feed little chunks of information to them at a time when they wanted to listen. The amount of information passed on at any given time was based on their ability to understand it. When they are ready for more, they will ask... The key to this technique is to adopt a 'nothing is out of bounds' attitude to communications, and to be honest and direct at all times. Kids are smart...they know BS when they see it...you have to make sure that they don't get it from you! If you are not sure how to answer a question, or don't know the question, admit it...but make a committment to get back to them after you have thought things over...then DO it! When kids ask questions, it is because something in the world doesnt fit with what they already know...If they don't get an answer from you, they will ask elsewhere...and may be led astray.

some men are not likely to ask directions. I laughed as I read this... It's not that we don't ask directions... Some men are used to following a map through life and when on uncharted territory, they are outside our comfort zone! By all means...send them a map! Some men like to go down an untraveled path...and only need to be told the general direction they should head...they are not afraid of getting lost...getting there is half the fun! You should give them landmarks to look for so they don't get sidetracked. Some men are afraid to venture out...so they stay where they are. Sending maps and directions will never help.. As for me, I will cross that bridge when I get there...it's the trip home that I dread! OMG...I need to pack!

Predjudice against hiring the 'mature' person Posted: 7/27/2006 3:48:35 PM
At 59 years old, I found myself on the outside looking in after a corporate reshuffle. This happened just a couple of days ago, so I am not sure just how difficult it is going to be to find a job. As i network to identify opportunities, I am not sensing an 'age' barrier, as much as a 'salary' barrier. Many decisionmakers are very focused on the bottom line, and somehow think I might be too experienced (high priced) for them to afford. Yes, in the past, I have demanded more for my services, but today my needs and expectations are much lower. I anticipate that salary issues might prevent the offer, unless I stumble on a perfect match between my skill set and the employer's needs, and they have already discovered the benefit of seasoned talent. HL, you were in the business...am I far off base here?

Romance and Religion Posted: 7/26/2006 5:06:43 PM
OP, I'm a little confused here...the topic title is "Romance and Religion", but you make no mention of how religion is tied into it. In the Christian bible, there are lots of references to 'cleaving', etc. but I have never seen a reference to how long you should take...The Phrase "Go forth and multiply" appears in Genisis....here is a brief synopsis.... The Flood is over and the ark has landed. Noah lets all the animals out and says, "Go forth and multiply." A few months later, Noah decides to take a stroll and see how the animals are doing. Everywhere he looks he finds baby animals. Everyone is doing fine except for one pair of little snakes. "What's the problem?" askes Noah. "Cut down some trees and let us live there", say the snakes. Noah does as they say. Several weeks later, Noah checks on the snakes again. Lots of little snakes, everybody is happy. Noah asks, "Want to tell me how the trees helped?" "Certainly", say the snakes. "We're adders, so we need logs to multiply." Hold your ground, OP....there is no need to do anything you are not comfortable with!
