False I.D. to Proove We're Younger??
Posted: 10/10/2009 11:56:28 AM
John7873, is the 28 year old"girlfriend" the Russian chick you never met in person?
Where is Tina from? Phillipines?
I don't want to bang 25 year olds.
I never had anyone steal me from someone else. That is an abduction...
Maybe there is another dating universe I know nothing about.

False I.D. to Proove We're Younger??

Riverkilt, you do look your age - just like I look mine. Creating a fake ID that takes away 20 years will make people wonder just what a difficult life you must have led to have caused you to age so rapidly - that sure doesn't bode well for future aging. Be honest and try looking for ladies your age who will appreciate a senior man. By the way, I have yet to ask for, or be interested in looking at a guys ID! Now if I were a bartender or selling cigarettes, then I would ask (but I would not need to ask you.) Let's grow up mentally here!

Hi, I have tweeked my profile in the past and now would like to have some opinions on the good and bad of my efforts. My big emphasis is to be honest and realistic, no frills for the sake of getting attention.

Development of a profile is never easy, so having this forum available is a nice feature.

Thanks in advance for all comments.

Imopressive / Memorable Technology

I've been in the tech field for a long time, and over the years, there is always some new, cool thing that I like. Lately, I am thrilled with a new, thin-client access device. The size of a couple of decks of cards, I attach it to the back of a monitor, plug in keyboard, monitor and mouse to the access device, plug access device into a computer (along with 4 - 8 other access devices with their own keyboards, mice and monitors) and voila --- nine computer users, ONE computer. Pretty cool stuff, 1 watt of power consumption per unit. Not shabby at all.

dating or seeing more then one...the rules
Posted: 6/22/2009 4:04:43 PM
You articulated the quandary of old-fashion dating in the new world. In my opinion you did nothing wrong. It is a difficult conversation to have that honestly states that you are dating, and there could be a possibility of other ladies in the picture, until there is a mutual agreement for exclusivity.

I joined a dating group that was online/matchmaker format. The owner’s clear demand – date, date, date. See multiple people, enjoy finding the fun of meeting people, and waiting…waiting for the person that fires up your spirit and you theirs. Only then do you consider exclusivity. Her opinion, we want so badly to meet our love/partner/soul mate, that we meet someone and quickly couple up in hopes of making that partnership happen.

So, you seem to have a good heart and good intentions. Dating is tricky…..but I really believe you did good. Best of luck. That lucky lady is surely out there.

why a meal on the first date?
Posted: 6/20/2009 5:41:27 AM
I really prefer a first "date" from an Internet source to be a simple coffee/drink situation. I think it allows people to make the absolutely "NOT FOR ME" observation in a comfortable, low-key, short-term environment. From that point, if a "NOT FOR ME" does not occur, a date often is the next step to be arranged for the near future. At this, the date, dinner and a more substantial conversation can take place. That second meeting, the real date, is the opportunity to get to find out about the person who has the potential for something more.

Before the days of Internet dating, this simple, first step meeting was probably not ever appropriate, but the reality is that we are meeting people we have never met before. We know about the false or over-stated profiles, ancient pictures and simply an obvious mis-match that is apparent until a person-to-person meeting.

Now, with that said, I have had fun, first dates, some days after the initial meeting, that did not include a meal -- miniature golf and ice-cream, a local fair.... so food is not always the end-all. Just keep that first meeting a venue intended to be short and simple.

That's my choice.

She seems independent, but around her dogs she is the low woman on the totem pole.

Deep down you probably know the answer to your post:

It is about training, not about pure-bred vs. mixed-breed.
Feeding styles vary person to person. Cooking for dogs is done by many people who are not comfortable with mass-produced food that contains meat from "downer cows". And, as for bringing dogs to a dog-park, it is a great way to keep dogs exercised and socialized. The bigger issue is if these behaviors intrude on a potential human relationship. The bed-thing is an area where single people, men and women, allow their dogs to sleep with them, and then, how does the dog understand why they are being kicked out when a relationship is in the picture. Personally, I prefer that my dogs sleep in crates, but I know many "normal" people who like the dogs to sleep on their beds.

How do you think you can "be alpha male?" . Not likely to happen - she needs to be the person in control. Alpha is not sex specific, but pack specific, and your female friend needs to establish that. Issues like feeding and park time have nothing to do with alpha status. Protection is also not an indicator. Aggressive or protective behaviors are not necessary, a dog that is willing to bark in the middle of the night is good enough. Friendliness to strangers is preferred (IMHO). In the end, it is about controls developed through training.

What do women over 50 find desirable and undesirable in a man's profile?
Posted: 6/10/2009 7:46:44 PM
I like to see:
Photo
Career and education
Good spelling, grammar and punctuation
Interests

As other posts have said:
No sexual comments
Write about the upbeat things, not the bad, after all, most of us are looking for a fresh start with big hopes.
Seeking someone 20 years younger than you makes me feel like I don't have a chance of interesting you with my naturally aging self. I skip those guys.
I skip profiles with usernames I find off-setting: for example luv69; badboy; lonelystill. I am looking for the stable, adult male.
Keep clothes on in photos.

The above items are my preferences, and others may like different things. After all, we are all unique, and what I seek in a profile will be different from someone else.
