What a man over 45 looks for in a relationship. Posted: 11/17/2009 7:28:50 AM
What are toilet robes? Do they have something to do with fly fishing? I think toilet robes are those little pieces of carpet that single women put on the lids of toilets that make them fall down whenever you are trying to pee. Thankfully they are very absorbent. Good job but you left a key part out of that little Man Secret: You tend to use one hand to keep the damn thing upright, while using the other hand to unzip and whip it out. Hence the term 'fly fishing', it's harder than it looks when you're just using one hand. Eventually I tend to give up and take advantage of the absorbency myself.

Of Fakes and Flakes... Posted: 11/17/2009 7:14:37 AM
I think you have to go to California to find hippies these days. Most everywhere else they are just the poor and unemployed now. I think the bulk of them migrated up to Eugene during the dot com bubble. I'm typing this from the People's Republic of Cambridge, and my Plymouth friend has it wrong. There are still a coupled of enclaves of aging hippies holding on, but the louder, more politically active crowd really are liberal, but not hippies. Ashville NC has them coming out their ears, which was a pleasant surprise. And Vermont of course, where they're hiding in the hills off the main roads. If there are any left in CA then it'll be in places in Northern Sonoma County around Sebastapol, also hiding from the main roads.

Delete my profile, nah.. stop posting on forums where people find it necessary to rip me to shreds for my opinions based on my experiences on here... you bet. !! Hmmm, just my opinion but I think you have that exactly backwards. Continue venting on the forums where you can't really hurt another accidently and ditch the dating profile. Good luck, whatever you choose, but only time will really help.

Have you ever fantasized about having sex with a transexual. Posted: 11/17/2009 6:18:21 AM
there is this hot ass filipino broad that works down at the iron horse and my posse told me she was a tranny. needless to say i was very drunk on this night from a mixture of heinekens and jager bombs. anyway one thing lead to another and we started talking. she had no masculine features whatsoever, and as i said before, was very easy on the eyes. so we end up back at my place and this broad is all over me. i remember thinking that this might be it... the day i become a 280 pound sissy with 19 inch biceps. turns out, she had a vag... a very tight, and real, one. we did it eight times that night and the following day i showed my Yup Lunchmeat, you proved it. And yet ... have you considered the possibility that an operation was involved? Just sayin'. I mean you were way off base with the Broncos, it's not as if you've never been wrong. There is still a chance you are, in fact, "a homo". Not that there's anything wrong with that, you 280 lb sissy.

Men my age are looking for barbie dolls. Plain and simple. God forbid you are a perfect match except for the extra 25 pounds you are carrying. Funny how I look through profiles of guys my age, and they are all looking for women 10 years younger?? ugh!! If I read one more "Looking for a good hearted woman" I will seriously toss my cookies. I think its time for this chubby little keeper to delete my profile and defer to chocolate instead of a companion. I agree, it is time for you to delete your profile. In fact, after getting your backstory, mainly from your earlier posts, it's clear that you are rushing back way too soon. You just lost your husband unexpectedly 8 months ago. WTF are you doing here at this point in time?!? You haven't fully processed the grief, anger is part of it and it's leaking through in your posts. You'll deny that of course, which is also part of the process. Take a year or two off, you're not doing yourself or any potential partners any favors coming to a site like this right now. I didn't lose my partner in quite the same way you did as 50 approached, but it was close enough to know where you are at right now. Go, Heal.

What do guys think DATING means?!! Posted: 11/16/2009 2:20:22 PM
Here in the States a first date is an introduction which may or may not lead to a second date. Period. Boinking generally doesn't commence for many weeks, on average. Frankly I'm not seeing what it is you bring to the table. Your skimpy interests consist of reading, writing, needlework, and pc games. But the pc is on it's last legs so we may be scratching that last one shortly. Also, you smoke, have two live at home kids, and you're unemployed. Oh, and you need to meet Mister Wonderful within 3 weeks. That right there is part of your problem. And to be sure it's YOUR problem. There's one constant in all your negative experiences - YOU. By all means rewrite that profile! Be sure to include some reasons for a good man to contact you, right now it's not obvious why one would want to. Sorry if this is coming off as harsh, but you're basically male bashing here so reap what you sow.

how come it's okay for women to be desperate and negative, but not okay for men? and for your information, I don't give a ****, I have every right to have a negative attitude and be desperate, mind your own business you piece of shit. It's never okay for anyone to be desperate and negative, regardless of their sex. Where did you get the idea that it was Dru? Ditto for the anger that once again is leaking out of your keyboard. All I can tell you is that it gets easier as you get older. You'll get more comfortable in your own skin, women get better at identifying and communicating their own needs. You just need to hold on. Try not to go on a rampage in the meantime, that won't make you feel any better either.

Oh yeah, she will definitely pay me back. She has a good job as a nurse as the Monfort hospital but she doesn't speak good French (this she mentioned when she was talking about borrowing money). God I'm an idiot for actually believing every lie she told me so far. So you loaned her $600, is that what you just said? If I read that right I'm calling bullshit right here, this story no longer adds up. I don't need a CCNA or RPG core routers or pretend that I'm a scientist or IP geolocators or need to speak French. Just the basic bullshit-0meter embedded in my head. You sir, are full of shit. Cowboy where's your freaking hammer? This is one piss poor troll.

Can't wait till you let us know how this turns out. Let's review: the OP doesn't trust her, he went to inordinate lengths to dig up some dirt, he doesn't think she's even going to show up, and he blathers on and on about a bunch of network hooey that he thinks is impressive, but that no sane person gives a rat's arse about. In short he's headed into the first meeting with a tremendous attitude. The poor woman for her part may be a liar. OP's not really saying much about what else has set his klaxon's a ringin'. Perhaps she claimed she was a DBA, but he found she couldn't put his hypothetical database into BNF form. That would certainly alarm the heck out of me! If she's on the up-and-up then she'll rightly be offended by the accusatory tone of Mr CCNA. The bottom line is I'll take that $20 bet and go double or nothing that this relationship is DOA. We don't have to wait, there's no suspense here. The only thing remotely curious is why he even wants to have this meeting.

take the gloves off! Posted: 11/9/2009 9:27:31 AM
So you want to be rated. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give you a 2. There are hints of a real person lurking beneath the surface, but you have to look awfully hard and have a very good imagination to see that. Most won't bother. Put some effort into your profile, it's a one-time task. And then put some more into reading those that come up in your search and then some more into constructing personal introductory emails. The way you're doing it, coasting on physical appearance, probably will not work.

Much like the OP, I too would have a hard time relating personally to someone who has poor or sloppy BASIC skills such as literacy. Right. But I suspect you differ from the Bard in that you never would have sent that first email. The OP never answered the obvious question (Filly asked) so the obvious answer is that Bard saw some pictures he liked and let Little Bard momentarily do the thinking.

I should have paid attention to red flags. And there's the heart of the matter. Why not? Has it been a while since you've had a date? Or just one thing about that guy that caught your attention that drowned out all the rest? At some point you have to take a chance, but you don't want to keep making the same mistake over and over, so that's something to dwell on.

Cheating On Your Hot Wife/GF -? Posted: 11/6/2009 11:25:19 AM
You listed a bunch of celebrities. They seem to always be on a set making a film, or on a tour. How can anyone maintain a relationship when most of the time they are apart? Worse, those career paths seem to prize superficial appearance over anything deeper. No surprise they rarely work out.

What can I do to get more responses? Posted: 11/6/2009 10:48:41 AM
Do what I do, do not email anyone and just wait for them to email you first. Works for me and saves a lot of time and energy. Actually this does work quite well. I do my dating on match and invested a fair amount of time in polishing my profile. (And if I do say so myself, I can rock a tee shirt almost as well as Pete! ;-) ) My best results have all come from when the women initiated the contact. OP, your profile is too generic, it looks like hundreds of others. Make it standout! No one can tell how to do that though. You're the only one armed with that information. Posting in these forums regularly might help too, I actually met someone that way and I don't even have a serious profile or photo up here.

I find this stuff fascinating.. from the post: My body is my temple and it is not an open stadium Now.. from the profile: I am a fkn horndog..... If I cannot imagine my ankes around your neck, it goes nowhere. Women.... Careful. That's not a woman, that's a Russian "Woman". If the two of you meet in the streets my money is on Sweaty. Meanwhile back on the topic, I don't need a connection, but it sure does make the boinking alot more fun if there is one.

I totally disagree, Allmygirl2009, in your head you know the post you're replying to. But the rest of us have no clue which of the 80+ previous posts has you in a dander. Eventually we could work it out, but that seems too much trouble. I could take your advice and run! , but that seems a poor way to deal with things.

Openness - Profile Review Posted: 11/3/2009 7:31:08 AM
I'm trying to find out how to express that I'm an adaptive person, in a way that wouldn't be to my disadvantage. Look at my first post. I read your first post. You should disregard that silly test, having a wide array of interests is in no way a liability. You didn't have any trouble expressing this in that first post, you could almost cut chunks of that out and insert it into your profile as is. So what's the problem again? It's the later post that I'm giving you a hard time about. You were clearly asking others to tell you what you are looking for. A separate issue, and clearly a ridiculous request. You're the only one who knows the answer to that. So skip the list of physical attributes or other concrete things. Re-read your own words in your first and build off of that. You don't need any help, you're doing fine on your own. Trust your own instincts!

separated but still living together... to believe or not Posted: 11/3/2009 6:44:12 AM
Im just throwing this out there, iv been chatting to a guy who seems nice, he is as the title says separated, going through a divorce but they are still living in the same house. In realistic terms he is still married and living with his wife, there would be no way I could go round and have a coffee at his or anything as the situation is awkward. Is this even worth pursuing? Is the guy even getting divorced? there is a picture up so hes not hiding his face but Im just a bit dubious. What would others do? OP, based on what you said he sounds like an honest open guy. I suspect you can trust that he is getting a divorce, but listen to your own instincts, they'll know best. That said, I'd recommend just keeping it on the back burner until he does at least move out of the house, it's not a good situation. Good luck!

So Charlie, between this thread and the one you started yesterday are you noticing the recurring theme yet? Your profile needs an overhaul. I'd be loathe to make specific suggestions because I sense you are indeed what you appear to be, a superficial gold digger. But others here will help you apply a disguise that might work if you post in the profile review forum.

Ditch the line about drama queens Dude. Guys are in no position to dictate who gets to contact them. You do need a couple of better pictures. And there's a big discrepancy in your profile. You say you don't drink, and then your first date idea involves several drinks. Which is it? Your spelling stinks here in the forum, but was fine within the confines of your profile. Not sure a late 20 year old guy who's only looking to party is going to be in big demand here, but start with the pics. Good luck!

Cheating and some helpful answers. Posted: 10/30/2009 5:43:16 AM
Okay, well to give my 2 cents on one of your questions then, I think ending a relationship before getting physical with someone else is the norm. I don't know you of course, but I was originally guessing that either your cheaters were all afraid of you, that you're intimidating in some way, or the opposite - that you're too nice and sensitive and they didn't want to hurt you. And perhaps one of those 2 is still a part of it, although it sounds like you've just been picking the wrong horse too often. Whatever it is, communication and honesty are the keys to fixing it so it doesn't happen moving forward. Good luck! And stop beating yourself up over ancient history!

Cheating and some helpful answers. Posted: 10/30/2009 5:08:14 AM
Well OP, you've been in 3 relationships where your partner cheated. (Possibly even 4, I couldn't quite tell the way you phrased things). I'm 50 and have never cheated and am as certain as I can be that my partners weren't cheating either. So 3-4 seems like an awfully high number. The first you can write off as the follies of youth. After that? There's a common denominator in your failed relationships - YOU. I think you need to start there if you're searching for answers on why this keeps happening.

More of an estimation going by what I hear from women I talk to here I tend to think they're exaggerating how bad it really is. Perhaps they just tend to remember the obnoxious more than the nice-but-no-thanks sorts? The responses from females in this very thread have been much more heavily weighted towards the positive than the OP's negative experiences. Most of my own interactions have been on match not POF, and while those Women all have had some bad ones, mostly they too have been good ones.

I read your profile, then came back to comment on it. What do I remember about it, mere seconds after leaving it? Boobs and bottles of beer. If that's you then fine, but don't complain when your peer group of 20-something year old Boys decide that Sex is a fair game early on. Even if you do ditch those 2 pictures you're still going to get some of that attention no matter what you put up, but perhaps not as often.

I was married during that time frame, and a few years on either side of it as well. Don't know what my dating range would have been, but I do know I would not have traded in the marriage experience in order to find out. But now that I'm 50, and no longer married, I have to say that I am liking my options very much. I'm sticking to within a couple years on either side of 50, and that is providing much more than I can handle!

My ex-wife was 5+ years younger than I am. (I'm now 50). The woman I'm seeing now is 1.5 years older. Never say never, but I think that covers the range I'm willing to see, assuming the current one eventually flames out.

Do you say it on your profile, before meeting, in person, when? SEX? Posted: 10/22/2009 10:00:31 AM
Guys, what is the best way that a woman can TRULY convince you that she is 100% serious. Nothing against you, but she wants to get to know you a little better before just jumping into something physical? When and how to say it? You sound like you do a poor job of screening your potential dates. To me it's pointless to rail about this and attempt to discourage bad behavior in your profile. The type of guy who brings up Sex immediately isn't going to be deterred - or even read - any of that. And the type of guy you're looking for doesn't want to read anything negative and may wonder why you felt the need to mention it. This is more about you and why you can't seem to identify the right guy. Try stretching out the email part of the process a little longer. Likewise for the phone calls. And then keep those first meetings short and in daylight. This is all just standard stuff. You might want to tone down your profile photos a bit. There's nothing badly overt in what's there now, but perhaps only one shot in the tight jeans. Lose the reclined pose too? Just suggestions. Good luck!
