You are a very articulate writer rubyslippers! bravo! I really enjoyed your story about your grandmother and the other lady you visited with. Keeping that sparkle of curiosity in your eyes... yes.. you are right, that is the key to it. I always notice a person's eyes too. Some eyes are full of life and fun and mischief, others are closed off, guarded and dull and it does make them look disconnected and old, lost in another world. So i'm very glad you shared with us, thanks. I know you are one who will always keep that gleam in her eyes and good for you. .. a fellow sparkler .. annie :0)

Yes! indianbob my thoughts exactly .. old is a state of mind. Nothing can hold a person down. Nothing can keep them from doing anything they please but themselves! Old is in the eye of the beholder. Youth is a sense of joy about life and living it. Youth is seeing the young version of your lover every time you look at them, even if they are now 100! Youth is remembering what makes you happy and keeping that joy. If you never feel old you will never be old! Love your spirit bob!

Men with beards and moustaches - is it sexy? Posted: 3/17/2009 6:23:40 PM
Yes all types of facial hair in any manner is sexy to me. I love moustaches, goatees, beards that are trimmed. All add that little bit of flair and interest.

Would we have better relationships if looks REALLY didn't matter? Posted: 2/25/2009 7:57:33 PM
GreenTeaGuy - you say you look at a woman's picture and she does nothing for you but you need to see the woman in person and see if she does anything for you. You can't possibly tell from one picture with one expression. I have looked at a guy's profile picture and then he post five more of them and i go WOW look at him there!!! So in the same way, judging just by the picture alone is missing out on the various smiles and expressions that you might reallllly like in person. If their personality is so great then the beauty from the inside out could be possible too. A man can have energy and personality and in his picture he can look like a plain jane or john ... lolol .. as the case may be but when you actually interact with him he blows you out of the water with his humor and his look at life from his perspective. Soooooo i have never judged on looks alone. Chemistry can be won in person! Have you talked to any of these women on the phone? A voice can tell you a lot too. If you can have a great conversation on the phone, chances are you can have a great conversation in person too. I think you are not giving the women a chance. You are giving up too soon. I' m pretty open minded. Hope i have opened your mind a little too. good luck! A woman! lolololol .. peace... annie.. p.s. love your antioxidants... lololol ...

Fear of relationship when having fun with someone you like Posted: 2/25/2009 7:47:16 PM
Surfgyrl - Just set him straight. Tell him in no uncertain terms that you have AbSolutely NO intention of falling in love with him.. You will be strictly friends with benefits only. That ought to cure him of his silly paranoia. Oh and by the way, if you do fall in love with him . .don't tell him, make him say it to you first .. hahaahahahaaa psyche him out!!!!!! Ok now that you two are all relaxed again you can have fun and enjoy each other's friendship! What do you think? Am i dear abby or what ? LOL peace..... annie xox

Is love hard work? Posted: 2/25/2009 7:37:29 PM
I agree with you chameleonf. It should be joy, romance, magic, compatibility. Almost (?) effortless. You want to be with your partner and enjoy their company, you agree to disagree and rarely really argue in a big way. You have the same moral values and way of thinking about life in the important parts. You can be extremely different culturally but if you have the same basic fundamental values about love, family, friends, God, it all works and your differences keep you interesting to each other. Good subject... peace.. annie

LOL phrannymoo - oh and by the way if they are actually fortunate enough to get you out on a date, they should be sure to completely dominate the conversation, then when you have something to say, they should have this slightly annoyed look on their face, like they can't wait for you to shut up so they can begin talking again ... whew!!! did i say that all in one breath!!!

Does accepting an expensive dinner from a man obligates a woman to have sex with him? Posted: 4/12/2008 9:02:22 PM
Gee blackvelvet - it becomes more and more important to pay for your own dinner and your own half of whatever entertainment you're doing that evening with a guy, just so there won't be any moral misconceptions. It is a shock to me i must say that a guy would expect that from a woman. What happened to old fashioned guys who wanted to take a woman out and show her a good time on a date and not have the utter nerve to expect that he would be entitled to her precious gifts for money!!!!!! After all, if she is not a practicing prostitute, then where does he get off trying to treat her like one? Amazing, the lack of respect some men have for women. You seem as shocked as i do about it. Good for you!

The religious relationship dealbreaker Posted: 4/12/2008 8:46:30 PM
So Mikethewriter - did this woman want you to join the Catholic religion in order to keep the relationship going? If she wished for you to do something against your will and you were not willing to, then it seems like it is a deal breaker. I just posted a comment to another person on this thread and this question is something that is different for everyone. So it seems that all the deal breaking items should be discussed in the friendship phase, before you get into the relationship phase, so you can decide if you're going to have a relationship phase. People seem to have very intense emotions about this subject so i think it does make a good topic for conversation, as well as expressing your moral values. I guess you will be putting more thought into this now that it has happened to you when you meet women after this last one.

The religious relationship dealbreaker Posted: 4/12/2008 8:36:25 PM
jhawkgirl - ok you are open minded and liberal which seems to me to be a situation where you are tolerant and respectful of other's religions. Why would they turn and walk away from you? Something is missing here, please tell me what. I believe in God. I believe in being saved. I could never date an atheist. I don't understand them and would not want to associate with them because God is important to me and sooner or later my faith would become an issue that would come between us. As far as organized religion is concerned, i don't follow an organized religion either but i consider myself christian and feel like i have deep spirituality. If anyone could date me or be my friend based on this paragraph alone, then we could get along ok. I guess depending on the intensity of one's connection to their religious belief is what makes it a deal breaker or not. It seems it would be on a case by case basis with every two individuals involved. Interesting to me what people have to say on this subject.

I think a lot of it has to do with your will to live. When you think about it, enthusiasm for living, no matter what your ups and downs may be, could very well be the key. You have to have perserverence, strength, strong faith. I think it's deeper than diving into the vat of olive oil, although i don't discount its properties and qualities and there is probably a lot of truth to its advantages. Olives remind me of Italians and their enjoyment of life and living. Annie raises her glass of olive oil in a toast.. here's a little to go with it. Anyone wanna take me ??? I'll bring the olive oil and lemons :)

Right scotterpop - nothing morally reprehensible. Without your character and your morals who are you anyway. Anyone worth knowing? Money certainly cannot buy those things. Our riches and wealth are not of this earth anyway, not the ones that matter. Look into your soul for your answers and pray for wisdom.

Like Brownie i am about 2 hours from Myrtle Beach. I live near Fayetteville NC. While i was browsing through this forum i saw a suggestion about going to a comedy club. I wondered if anyone has been to Cagneys Comedy club in Fayetteville. If you have i would like to hear about it. Was it fun? Would it make a good POF get together? I'll stay tuned for more :)

Beautifully said. Exactly the way i feel. It is easier to accept another person when you are not under that person's nose 24/7. They can go home and have their faults as you can and have yours. We both breathe a sigh of relief. I think we are a new generation of self confident women who are alone but not lonely.

Yes remain monogamous (could you?) keep my place and go back and forth. Yes. You each have some amount of privacy, some amount of solitude when you need it, maybe even some mystery? and how could that ever hurt your relationship. There could be sleepovers and that longing to see the other person. Sounds pretty good to me. What do you think?

Should over 50 people be less selective? Posted: 11/10/2007 12:28:31 PM
No i don't think that just because we are over 50 we should be less selective. The men who may be for us may be ten years younger or ten years older than us. Age is not such a tremendous factor. Maturity is. Knowing what you want from life. Your values and morals are very important to who you are and should never be compromised. The little things are what you compromise on not the big things that are really important to you. Besides this POF fun thing, i believe that when we are ready and sincerely pray to God for "him" and it is in God's time, that "he" will cross our path. So POF is just a little stepping stone. A way to share with others like you and make some friends along the way. Just remember that no matter if you are ten or 100 that you are just as valuable a person and all you need to be is realistic. The 50s year old guys looking for 20 year something women are not looking for the relationship that can really be experienced and cherished. Those who have experience and value friendship have more to offer. Average guys, or those who appear average can be the most beautiful thing on earth once you get to know their heart and soul. So the old don't judge a book by it's cover or one photo on POF is surely true. So that's my 2 cents and i hope you found it worth listening to. xox from me :)

Thank you kicnbac :) I only added the friend stuff because the lady said she really enjoyed their conversations, so i wasn't sure if she wanted to keep him as a friend. It is hard to find someone at times you can really have great conversations with. So it is all up to his level of maturity now, his response. Please let us know.. thanks :)

Just tell him you really appreciate him as a friend and would like to keep in touch with him that way.. to make it even more plain you could add platonic friend. I think it is better to be honest and say plainly what you mean so that you both know where you stand. People need to accept it when the other person is not physically attracted to them, it is just a simple fact. We should all be mature enough adults by now to realize we may meet just friends and not always lovers. It is not an insult against us personally, it is just a preference the other person has. What is the harm in that. We all have personal preferences. Who we would chose as a lover and who we would choose as a friend. No problem. If he can't accept you as just a friend, then he is not worth having as a friend, let alone more than that :) Hope this helps... peace .. out :)...

if a guy turned up for a date in a costume, what would you do? Posted: 7/31/2007 5:36:23 PM
if u called me before the date and said "hey, i like costumes, i'll meet u at starbucks as a red power ranger," i would think it was hilarious and meet you there. If u didn't tell me u were gonna do that .. how would i really know it was u? Or do u send me a picture of real u and then pull ur power rangers mask off when i get there? hmmmmm... may sound like a stupid question but since we're in the bizarre realm anyway, wutthehel, i thought i'd ask it anyway. Hmmmmm the idea of dating being routine and boring, cynical for one who looks to be a 20 somethin. When you meet the right person and the conversation is genuinely interesting then you have a good time. That is what it really comes down to. If you find the person is fun to be with and you like their personality and can laugh with them as well as talk to them about anything, it is not the date that matters, it's being with that person, no matter what you do. Simple? I think so :) Mmmmm k that's my say peace out

relationships with unmatching intellectual levels Posted: 7/3/2007 8:42:47 PM
Perfectly said tallkat. Common sense and a great sense of humor as well as depth and like lots of people have said similar core values. It's what its all about. I was with a man who was not my intellectual equal and it did get frustrating after a while. Did not enjoy trying to explain things and feel like they were still not understood. So that chapter comes to its natural end. A new one begins. To a virgo like myself, i find a saggitarrian holds the most interesting conversations with me. I know a lot of people don't care about astrology but i have learned from it and although i don't do anything involved other than reading about the signs it is enough for me to know who i have met over time and life experience to realize that certain people are better for me to stay far away from like geminis and aries. So intelligence definitely counts. A sense of humor where the person enjoys you and gets you, so you feel like you click. Not so much the level of the education but the ability to communicate and the depth to want to explore. I also very much appreciated the feelings of the writer who said she was analytical. I feel that way too, like i am that way. I like to have conversations like that, where we can analyze an idea or situation and give our views. That is a form of exploring to me. I am enjoying these forums every time i take the time to jump into them and find all the interesting people on this site. Thanks Thealeana for starting this thread. You are an intelligent and valuable woman and asset to this site. Bravo :)
