Gentlemen - this works ... Posted: 10/1/2009 1:13:05 PM
Eye contact is also a great way to tell if someone is really listening to you & hearing what you say.

lawvixen - You bet I am particular. Why waste his/her time, and yours, when you know just from reading the profile that you are not compatible? I couldn't agree more although you would have to be good at reading between the lines

Horses in pictures???? Posted: 9/26/2009 4:44:27 PM
Ulster born-It's like men with motorcycles, people with pets. I've seen some men with horses (though I'll admit the women outnumber the men with horse pictures!). It's "just" something the person is passionate about. Exactly I don't have my own horses but I do volunteer work with them & they definitely are my passion.

Wow - it's great to see the "new" input to this thread. What are your feelings about "rekindling" an old relationship - just curious.

is falsifying one's profile age no longer taboo? Posted: 9/2/2009 1:13:00 PM
My profile says I am 63 - I'm actually 64. When I was 59, I was terrified of the "big 60" coming up so I decided to set my date of birth back one year. Later when I came back to change it on here, I couldn't but anyone I met knew the truth

I am not a senior! Posted: 9/1/2009 4:26:50 PM
Unless this is true AS I AGE [author unknown] When I was in my younger days, I weighed a few pounds less. I needn't hold my tummy in to wear a belted dress. But now that I am older, I've set my body free; there's the comfort of elastic where once my waist would be. Inventor of those high-heeled shoes my feet have not forgiven I have to wear a size nine now, but I used to wear a seven. And how about those pantyhose they're sized by weight you see, so how come when I put them on, the crotch is at my knees? I need to wear these glasses as the prints were getting smaller; and it wasn't very long ago I know that I was taller. Though my hair has turned to silver and my skin no longer fits, but here on the inside, I'm still the same old me, but on the outside I'm not what I used to be. I'm better

The most important virtue over 60...for women and men. Posted: 8/13/2009 10:13:52 AM
Trust is a virtue along with respect, honesty, loyalty and humility. I also agree that a sense of humour is an absolute must.

... Every one has issues it is just a matter of finding the ones you can live with. Everyone comes with baggage but you don't have to unpack it with every one you meet. I agree that everyone has issues & I believe that if they present their issues honestly & put them up front for discussion early on, they will soon know whether or not they're ready to trust, let go & move on ... does that make sense to you OP?

How important is a sense of humor anyway? Posted: 7/13/2009 4:45:42 PM
I think that these days, a sense of humour is more important than ever & I find a man that has a good one [sense of humour ], very sexy. Well, HL...A minister, a priest and a rabbi walked into a bar..... A sense of humor is important. I don't want to be with someone who never smiles or laughs. Exactly, but you should always finish a joke for a lady: ..... where they would get together 2-3 times a week for drinks and to talk shop. On this particular afternoon, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it. 7 days later, they're all together to discuss the experience. Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches, and has various bandages, goes first. "Well," he says, "I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation." Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and both legs in casts, and an IV drip. In his best fire and brimstone oratory he claimed, " WELL brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quick DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus." They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IV's and monitors running in and out of him. He was in bad shape. The rabbi looks up and says, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start."

Positive influences Posted: 7/4/2009 12:56:16 PM
we all hear about positive or negative influences, either on here, or in our daily lives. Do you have something/someone that influences you in a positive way? What helps you stay positive, or how do you overcome the negative in your life? Love to have you share your experiences. Great thread - my love of horses and working with them; I can't even imagine my life without them!

Relationships or a relatedness? Posted: 6/16/2009 12:40:45 PM
What does a relationship mean to you in 2009? This question is open to all age groups. It means something very different from what it meant when I was searching for an LTR when I first joined this site - which seems like a lifetime ago now. But the one thing that hasn't changed is that you must have mutual trust in and respect for each other.

Dating much more pragmatic as we age Posted: 6/14/2009 1:13:32 PM
I also agree with those in the thread who have indicated that there desire to be fully paired up is less than in years gone by. At this point, most of us have built some kind of life for ourselves and often there isn't as big a desire to be coupled and make lots of changes. I've always been a pragmatic person & agree with BD's comment above; IMOnot dating is easier now

I STILL don't get this one. How can women pluck their eyebrows out with tweezers, one hair at a time, pluck, pluck, pluck, pull, tear, OUCH, and still be afraid of a spider that is smaller than their pinky toe? Step on it and move along. Eddie: I don't pluck my eyebrows & these spiders are very big & I don't want to kill it, just remove it from my sight - you know what's that's like

LOVING Posted: 9/13/2006 4:40:06 PM
Horselady, I think our perceptions of love and the way we love are formed by all the people who have touched us in our lives. I agree & it made me think of this poem: Perceptions of Love© by Linda Rose Mainella We're drawn to it, as human nature would be; We sometimes hide from it, in fear of its force; We seek it, study it, try to understand it with minds that cannot see; We try to tame it, yet at times unleash it to follow its course; We rejoice in it at the birth of a child, We linger in it, in the arms of someone dear ~ We revere it, in the songs of the wild, We mourn it, in the loss of someone near; We proclaim it hate, when angry and hurt ~ We know, though, it's the same thing, turned inside out; We think we feel it, when exposed to charming words from a flirt ~ We sullenly wish for it, when left alone in a pout; We may try to call it by other names ~ We want so badly to package it neatly; We finally know to let go of the games ~ We call it Love, and mean it deeply.

I haven't really thought of it in those terms. I've dated a few men from this site with the intention of finding the love of my life but it didn't work out. I'm not thinking marriage right now [don't know if I ever will]; I think in this internet dating world that would be like putting the cart before the horse JMO

how do you feel about getting old? Posted: 9/5/2006 4:35:41 PM
This is how I feel [in case I haven't said it before] - I know I'm getting old when ... You're older than your dentist. It takes you two tries to get up from the couch. A telephone rings on the TV and you think it's yours. 90% of your dreams are reruns. You no longer say "No thanks" to the lobster bib. The only "Stones" you're interested in these days are Kidney and Gall. For the first time you have to deal with nose hair. Corduroy is king. Your computer has more memory than you do. You bring lawn chairs to outdoor concerts. People warn you about shoveling snow. You schedule sex. You go from being a do-it-yourselfer to a hire-someone-elser. You don't have bad hair days, you have bad hair years. Finally, you can use words like "titillate," "shuttlecock" and "Uranus" without laughing. You start appreciating larger fonts.

Male Menopause .. it's OK Posted: 9/3/2006 3:43:29 PM
I can't believe this thread was resurrected after 2 months - update: The big difference between male and female menopause is that male menopause takes place over 10 to 20 years. Male menopause can be diagnosed with a blood test to check testosterone levels. Studies show testosterone replacement in men can enhance libido and sexual function. It can also improve bone density and muscle mass.
