the best part of your life is ahead of you, dont you think? Posted: 6/21/2009 6:03:32 PM
Well, I certainly hope so. If I didn't think that way there wouldn't be much left to look forward to. Two thirds of my life is now over and God knows I've paid my dues enough for the right to realize and accomplish a few more dreams and goals and maybe, just maybe, find real, genuine, and lasting love again. But then again, perhaps not.

Hottest Movie Scenes Posted: 6/21/2009 4:00:08 PM
Not sure if anyone mentioned this one but how about the lovemaking scenes between Jamie Lee Curtis and James Keach in "Love Letters".

Decent guys: are they all either taken or gay? Posted: 6/14/2009 5:25:36 PM
Man, if I had a dollar every time a woman has told me what a great guy I am, I could retire. If I'm such a great guy, why have I been alone for so long? I wonder how many women really want a nice, decent guy? Women seem to go after men who represent more of a challenge and thrive on drama. Sounds to me as if you are consistently choosing the wrong men.

My heart is tired Posted: 5/17/2009 6:55:05 PM
I can certainly identify with the way you are feeling. I found myself back in the dating world about eight years ago and after many failed and short lived relationships, falling in love and getting my heart ripped out and stomped on, and shedding many tears and enduring many lonely nights, naturally it became harder and harder for me to get up the same enthusiasm for dating as I had in the early going. Finally I got to the stage where I just felt indifferent about the whole thing and resigned myself to the fact that perhaps having someone by my side just wasn't in the cards for me. I threw myself into work, hobbies, duties at home, and spent more time with my children and casual friends and my pain and loneliness have now dissipated somewhat. But you know, it seems as soon as I did that, more women were expressing interest in me. I never believed in the old adage, "love will find you once you stop looking for it" but it seems true.

Why is the word relationship scare men away? Posted: 5/6/2009 3:54:05 PM
Females run from the same thing. I lost count of how many times I've dated someone for awhile, great chemistry, everything going great, and then they break it off and run as soon as it starts getting serious. It's got to the point that I am afraid to date again much less fall in love.

Why Are Over 45 Men In Love With Motorcycles? Posted: 5/3/2009 11:08:22 AM
There are definitely female equivalents. Seems two out of every three profiles I've browsed here shows a picture of her and her bike. The other common thing I've found amongst most of them is that more and more women in my age group are into extreme sports such as white water rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, marathon bike riding, water skiing, quadding, weight lifting, gym, etc., etc. There's nothing wrong with that if you have the time but I certainly don't. And show me one woman on this planet who doesn't love to dance.

When You Aren't Attracted to Someone Who Seems Perfect For You Posted: 1/23/2009 10:00:29 PM
This is the difference in a friendship and a love interest. If one or both of you can't imagine yourself in bed with the other but everything else has fallen into place then there is no reason why you still can't hang out together and have some good times. It happens to me all the time, I have a lot of female friends yet I am always the friend, never the boyfriend. Guess I just don't have enough sex appeal, hmmmm, I think I'll shut up now, I'm suddenly depressed..

Is there anything more overrated when it comes to sex than Blow jobs? Posted: 1/16/2009 2:40:07 AM
Bj's are a part of most every woman's sexual repertoire so although most every woman will try, some know what they are doing and some don't. And I've known women who just don't like doing it, plain and simple. But kudos to those who at least give it their best effort. Like the rest of the guys here I've had some that are ho-hum and others that were world class. I think it's important to let your girl know what feels great and what doesn't and communicate that to her. She will learn from her man's reaction the proper technique. I've heard of guys that can't cum this way but thankfully I'm not one of them.

Settling Posted: 1/15/2009 2:32:26 AM
Personally, I feel settling means that you are going out with someone merely for the sake of companionship. It's always more fun to do things with someone else than by yourself. However, although you get along well as friends you know that there is not enough sparks flying between you for it to develop into a full scale relationship. When dating, I want to feel at least some romantic connection with my partner and explore/develop the possibility of a full fledged romance.

i cry alone Posted: 1/10/2009 10:04:26 PM
I cried just tonight after watching a sad love story. It reminded me of past loves lost. And I still often feel as if I will never find love again because it seems to be harder and harder to find it and even harder to keep it for long. I often cry from loneliness, most of my immediate family live far away and I rarely see them, I can count my close friends on one hand. I cry out of frustration. I am a gentle, easygoing person and most people misread me as being a wimp and will try without fail to use me and walk all over me.

men outnumber women on dating sites Fact? or Myth? Posted: 1/10/2009 9:37:47 PM
^^^^ I beg to differ but at least in my own experience the majority of women will not date anyone much older than themselves, in fact they prefer a man a little younger. I, on the other hand will date as much as 5 years older than myself. Now, put the shoe on the other foot and browse the female profiles on here. For example if you are 49 as I am, see how many 44 year olds are willing to date a man who is 49? Virtually none.

men outnumber women on dating sites Fact? or Myth? Posted: 1/4/2009 3:13:43 PM
My point was that about 90% of men are attracted to the same type of woman who represent only about 10% of the female population on these sites. And it goes the other way too, 90% of the women respond to 10% of the men because we all have an "ideal" set in our minds: traits, characteristics, and life circumstances of which few people can possibly meet entirely. As for myself, women have told me all of my life that I'm not hard to look at, yet I'm always the friend, never the boyfriend, and I almost never get an email here or on any other site.

Calling all 40-60Something Males? Posted: 1/4/2009 2:40:13 PM
I turn 50 next month. My rule of thumb for dating has always been from 10 years younger to 5 years older although that's not set in stone. I've known older ladies who look better than some who are much younger, and I've found I have little in common with women who are much younger, musical tastes for example, while I'm listening to say, the Eagles, she prefers 50 cent and yuk, I can't stand rap. Also I can't relate many of my life experiences to younger women because they haven't been through it yet.

do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 1/3/2009 10:51:43 PM
Yes, there are plenty of us out here. That's obvious judging from the 98 pages of postings on here, but anyway, here I go weighing in on this issue. At my age, it's almost impossible to find a woman who is childless, whether they are grown or still at home is not a major concern to me. However, if I were interested in someone a little younger and she had let's say, an 8 year old and a 5 year old, I would have to think long and hard about getting involved. I'm pushing 50 and I've had 3, my youngest just turned 18 so I have been there and done that. Hey, I mean two thirds of my life is over, I think I've earned a chance at freedom from young children to live my own life and achieve some of my own dreams and goals before I kick off without that added responsibility. Of course, it would be great to pursue those dreams with a partner but I have also found that most women would prefer a man whose kids are grown up and gone, my two youngest are still living at home with me. I think it's one of the reasons I get almost zero responses on this site. Having said all that, although I'm not looking for a brady bunch scenario, I would be open to the idea if I truly and deeply loved the lady.

I can't say for sure one way or the other but I think the problem lies in the fact that 90% of the men are attracted to 10% of the women....

oral sex and swallowing cum and why they wont do it Posted: 1/2/2009 9:20:36 PM
In my own experience, the vast majority of women I've been intimate with do not swallow. Therefore, it's always a surprise for me when they do. It doesn't bother me one way or the other.

Enjoying being single Posted: 12/31/2008 10:45:58 PM
I was with the same woman for 19 years and married for 17 of them. After that long a time, yes, I did feel a bit of anxiety about getting back into the dating world again. I was fully aware that times and attitudes had definitely changed so wasn't quite sure what to expect. For the most part, it's been a wild ride, but also sometimes a painful and hurtful experience. I got used to short term relationships, nothing ever lasting longer than a few months, and also got used to watching every woman I've ever cared about fall into another man's arms. So naturally, after awhile I found that it became harder and harder to drum up the same enthusiasm for dating as I did before. No, I haven't given up entirely, but I've been growing more indifferent to the idea of having a SO and have learned to be happy with myself and the things I enjoy doing. Yes, naturally it can be lonely at times, and I have been blessed (or cursed?) with a very high sex drive, but I don't want a relationship just for the sake of having one. I want the real thing, I've experienced intense love and passion in the past and it is my hope that one day I will find it again but perhaps I won't. Either way, I have become happy with myself and who I am. I am me and I'm no longer out to impress anyone or change who I am or how I think to gain anyone else's favor. Either people want to be around me or they don't. I am content just knowing that I am a terrific person. Do I prefer being single? Well, no, not really, but whatever my destiny is, I have learned to accept and live with it as a happy and well adjusted person.
