The person you are interested in is already retired ... you are not. Posted: 11/22/2009 3:18:43 PM
I don't date retired men. I have my own business, love it and like to work. A retired man is in a different head space and life stage. I don't plan to retire- my work is my passion. If a man retired, it suggests that his work wasn't his passion. I want somebody who can relate to what i do, who wants to hear about my work. And I want to hear about his. Having him tell me about his golf game or his hobbies would only bore me. If we both love business, we'd have much more to talk about and more in common.

This is becoming soooo boring. You're all in a pissing match and nobody cares. I read your first lines and I move on. Stick with the OP's point. Nobody really cares about your endless posts about how you're more enlightened than the rest.

Belle Lass: Agreed. Online is not the place to be- which is why I just participate in forums and look for training buddies. My last bf was the Dad of my son's friend. The one before was a friend of my late husband's. Life and serendipity just happen. I met one man online with whom I'm still friends many years later. Timing wasn't right but he is a gem. But that was an exception and he has never been online again.

Belle Lass. I agree with you and have met many men from here who are cheap and resentful. They resent even the cost of a coffee. Part of the reason I date next to nobody on here anymore. There are many angry men- including the one who responded to my post. He illustrates exactly my point. I have a good income which I generate through my own business. Have a fully paid for beautiful house, a child in private school and a good life. All funded on my own. I have a right to want to meet a man at my level. And if those men who don't cut it resent that, so be it. My right- worked hard for what I have and the reason I'm single, is I don't choose to spend my time with men who don't suit me. Until then, I'm busy, have lots of friends, can do what I want, when and I want. If a fantastic man can enhance my life, fantastic. If not, it's pretty good already. I've rebuilt my life, piece by piece, after my husband's death. I've worked hard to build a successful business. I've earned the right to be particular. And if men don' t like that, why would I care? I am what I am. And I like who I am.

Splendere: Completely agree with you and this has been my experience as well. Men who get hung up on money, on who pays for what, are angry and resentful. It comes out in all areas of their lives. I usually date men of means since I do well financially. They enjoy a similar lifestyle, do not resent paying or sharing, and the money thing is just never an issue. If feel treated in a special and generous way. It is all very relaxing. there is no tension around bills or who does what and definitely no score keeping. Most men earn more than I do although I do very well. I like to buy them things and I do at my income level. They are just grateful with the thought and would never, ever judge me on the basis of whether I had equalled out his contribution. I have no interest in men who have the attitude that now that women are liberated they can pay their own way. These are men with latent resentment for the way things are and for women's independence. They usually have a huge chip on their shoulders. Who needs that. Life is short, and we all have the right to choose. I don't engage in the debate or try to justify. I just pass these men by. Too many others to choose from.

Ask women upfront if they're goldigger- wow. That's a great strategy for a second date. And a harmonious future relationship. That's a very aggressive, hostile, angry question.

Confused & upset - Why do men do this? Posted: 11/3/2009 8:04:45 AM
OP. I spent an afternoon with a man, had a lovely time, had lunch etc. Emailed him a thank you. he mentioned a second date but I didn't pursue it in my email. I thought he was nice, we had a pleasant time together, but I couldn't care less if he called or not. Just two people, hanging out, having fun. Didn't mean he was my dream man, nor I was his dream woman. Guess we both enjoyed ourselves- but that was that. I'm okay with that. And I'm sure if I wanted to pursue a friendship or have coffee with him, I could. I think people all need to relax about all this stuff and not try psychoanalyzing so much. This is not the meaning of life- it's just about meeting people. You never really know what's going on in somebody's life- so you just have to expect very little.

Careers that Drain Your Energy Posted: 11/3/2009 7:59:22 AM
Jobs are draining when you are not in control of your life and your time. I love what I do and love spending time with my work. I can still have a relationship because I'm not interested in a relationship where I am tied to the hip of my partner. I'm happy if we can connect at 9pm after a long and productive day, share a glass of wine and chat for abit. There is more time on the weekend. I don't want a relationship where my partner wants me to sit down to dinner at 6pm every day. Too suffocating. And I don't want a partner who has a 9-5 job with an expectation that I should be there to occupy his time. so it all depends on what you want in a relationship and in a lifestyle. if a man needed me to give up my work, likely he wouldn't be the man for me. So OP, there is a huge middle ground between the two extremes you propose. That simplifies life too much.

Haven't read all the threads because I see it is, as always, descending into attacks on the OP. But, since he asked. It matters to me what a man does for a living and how much he makes. I have dated men who are blue collar or not at my financial level. Never works. The friends are different, the circles are different. So tired of men and the goldiggers comments. That is so 1950. It comes from insecure men. I have my own business, own my home, make good money and have a good lifestyle. I am not interested in a man who does not share that lifestyle. I have a good life, why should I settle for somebody who is either broke or going nowhere. It's all about choice and we all have the right to make that choice. I don't want to have to worry about money, constantly negotiate who pays what because the incomes are so unequal. I've worked hard to achieve my success- and continue to work hard. I want a man who has done the same. A successful man is always more attractive than one who isn't. And yes, I do judge one element of success by what you have done with your career. And I recognize that's not the only criteria- but it is a screening one for me.

Why do men with kids respond to my ad? Posted: 10/30/2009 9:00:19 PM
Because men don't read profiles and your No kids is at the end. Your profile is long- they wont' get to the bottom. So who cares? Just don't reply and move on. I state you need to be athletic and men who are extremely overweight write to me. I just delete. simple as that.

You want to say hello to ME???? You are wondering how I am??? The guy who couldn't be bothered to return phone calls cares about how I am?? Oh, you are concerned about me?? How ironic considering you are the one who made my life miserable. But of course, I forgot. You are a good guy and somehow always end up the victim. You met somebody... Oh good. You found your co-dependant match. Guess you can forget the self-help books and the group because you've got the lingo down. And when this one ends- number 5??? You can go back and learn to speak relationally as you call it. Oh yeah. Really don't bother coming over next time. I'm really over you. Sorry to disappoint you. You weren't worth mourning over for that long. (Yes, I'm still angry)

Lost track of what number we're at. Hilarious post!! Love it. Be sure to state how you like to groom your horses more than be with women because your horses appreciate you, are always happy to see you , and never complain that you're not 6' tall dark and handsome. And make sure we see at least 8 pics of your horses and 1 very grainy, goofy far away pic of you and your horse. And when all else fails, say you want to go back to Texas because the women in Toronto are all cold and unfriendly. Then quote other sites that confirm that. Then write to me and ask me if I'm interested in you- except I have to wade through 60 lines, single spaced, no paragraphs of complaints about the women here.

He is a cheater. Why would you want him after what he is doing to his girlfriend. Speaks to his character. He'll do it to you. You haven't moved on- you're hoping he will choose you. the question is- why do you want him? No contact is the only way.

Good for you to delete his number. I know you will take time to finally clear him from your system. And you'll cave- it's like anything you crave. You'll fall off the wagon- that's ok. As long as you recognize it and go back to square one. Hopefully, next time you'll catch yourself abit earlier so you don't text. You'll soon see he isn't as wonderful as you think he is. Maybe you already are seeing it. His reply to your missing him is to tell you he left the door open is to reduce you to nothing more than somebody there to take care of his needs. It's all about him. And not about you. Why do you want to go there? Good luck- as long as he keeps on doing these things, it'll make it easier for you to realize he's not the guy for you. And you'll miss him less and less.

Do you believe in being friends first? Posted: 10/19/2009 10:47:19 AM
I had a lovely friendship that became a relationship then he felt he couldn't commit and could we just be friends. That was the beginning of the end. We kept on going back and forth because of course we'd slip back into a relationship only to have to pull apart again. Now, I cannot be friends, there is alot of hurt on both sides and we are left with nothing. More honesty would have helped by him in being very clear that he wasn't ready. We should have remained friends and treasured that.

This guy is not ready and does not get it. The man I dated did the same thing. Never clued in to where he was going wrong. Wd act like nothing happened because he didn't want to acknowledge my feelings. Of course he'll call and text- why wouldn't he. You are providing support, comfort and all the things he wants- without him having to give anything back. My advice- tell him you no longer want to be on the fence. And when he feels ready for the next step, to call you. If you are still availalbe and interested, you'll see him. Be careful- you could hang on for ages simply to have him finally feel ready- with somebody else. Happens all the time. And all he'll say is sorry- never meant to hurt you. Right. But they don't go out of their way to protect you either. I know you want to believe it'll all work out- we all want to believe that. They count on that.. He can't string you along unless you are willing to accept less than what you deserve.

Kari: I don't even know what to say about that story. How do you even process such a horrible thing to do. I wonder what kind of relationship that child has with her mother now? And whether she has been messed up as an adult. She likely has trust issues- how could you not when the person who is literally your life abandons you like that. With no consideration for you or your helplessness. That is the most horrible thing I've heard in a long time. Selfish.

I know many talk about being told via text msg and how impersonal or cowardly that is. But I'm curious about other ways you've been dumped- and what the strangest excuse was. I'll start. I have to admit that when I was 16 I had a date with a guy I had only spoken with on phone. Friends introduced us. I was young and immature. He wore dark sunglasses to the movie. We were with others. I went to the bathroom and never came back. Never did that since- pretty immature. But what did I know? Was my first date ever.

Was it loosing your s/o or the habit that was upsetting Posted: 10/3/2009 8:53:10 AM
Not a nurse: Good suggestion. I have an opportunity in another city and am full of conflict about the idea of moving at this stage of life. On the other hand, I feel rooted to this house I shared with my late husband. Not because it's full of memories but because it's just here. And it has made realize I'm stuck in non-movement. I have made great strides but physically breaking with the past is a good thing. Get rid of the stuff, get new stuff and start anew. Scary- but cleansing too. Never would have pursued an oppty in another city but this just happened. Meant to be. And gets me far away from my own revolving door relationship which is an energy and emotion sucker. All will be good in the end.

In the case of my husband's death I missed everything- him, his laugh, our times together and our marriage. And I missed him on behalf of our 2yr old son. In relationships, I've learned that I hang on for too long as I end up with broken men whom I think are a work in progress and I look for what's in them deep down- while ignoring what's on the service. believing in the fantasy that they'll meet wonderful me and I will heal them. Now how dumb is that. I end up hurt and resentful because I'm with men who are emotionally unavailable and emotionally impaired. They can't give to me. We both hang on too long because of the fantasy and the comfort of having someone in your life. And then it deteriorates as reality sets in and the thing spirals downward. Have I learned?? I sure hope so but can't promise. Time to look at this to assess why I do this.

He's a married man- why would you want him??? And you cried because a cheating man treated you badly? Have you ever thought about how badly he is treating his wife by being with you? Get real. You have a huge load of responsibility here to knowingly get involved with a man who is ultimately out to destroy his wife and children.

I concur with those who say welcome to online dating. My advice for the future- take it really really slow. You never really know who you're dealing with here. Meet very few, talk on the phone, make sure stories are consistent and add up. And then see him for awhile. DO NOT sleep with him for awhile. Lots of weird stuff goes on here.

Sorry- but the failure rate for birth control pills is 0.3%. so you're one in a million? I'm usually sympathetic but not on this one. Birth control is your responsibility- not his. he obviously didn't feel the same way. So yes, get child support. And smarten up for the next time. You're not 18, you're a grown woman and if you have a 12 yr old, sounds like this isn't a new route for you because you were 18 with the first child. I'm 53 and there is no way I ever risked an unwanted pregnancy. Never happened- I made sure of that. You want kids- get married. Until then, get smarter.

MY EX SET ME UP Posted: 9/29/2009 8:46:33 AM
I know that here, Ontario, anybody can accuse anyone of anything, anytime. The cops take time to investigate. In the meantime, they go after you until they clear you. I had a friend who was charged with assault by the JP because the cops wdn't charge her- no evidence. She had to get a lawyer, pay money and of course, it was thrown out by judge. But not b/f all kinds of trouble. She also was accused by this same person to be abusing her kids. CPS had the kids down for interviews- she didn't lose them but they were old enough to speak for themselves. No, you shdn't worry about all women. You probably know that. But you must have done something to really, really upset her to bring out this vindictiveness in her. There is always a back story. I'm sorry this happened to you. I don't have any great advice. Just sympathy.

Everyone here is right. I didn't listen and went through pain over and over. I got the let's be friends thing too. But it never is just friends. So they dump you but get to have the good parts with no obligation- and keep you hanging around just in case. I ended up resenting my guy which wasn't really fair since I set myself up. But the resentment was good because it finally allowed me to get past the loving him feelings and putting up with crap to seeing a side of him that was using me. Maybe that's a necessary process. Who knows. Will never do that again

I'm not clear about the posting rules, and specifically about when someone is deleted for being insulting etc. It is clear in the rules that posters who begin to demean or comment on somebody's character are subject to deletion. Yet, I have seen the same posters over and over insulting, denigrating and being downright vile and nasty to posters, including to me. I have been shocked at the viciousness of it all- to the point that other posters comment on it. It is always the same posters and everyone knows who they are. So why is this allowed to continue? My thread was deleted- I'm not sure why. Perhaps it was going on too long but seemed to generate tons of comment. But this was a thread which got mean and I received a number of private emails from people afraid to post because they didn't want to get attacked. But they were very kind and supportive emails. Something wrong when people have to support you privately. So could you please clarify how all this works.

OP. Me too but he isn't with anybody. Part of the reason I know I should stop talking to him is if he meets someone- that would crush me. What is different is that I tell him my feelings and dont' try to pretend I'm ok with it all. I know I'm best when I don't see him. Him too- when we see each other we both lose resolve. But my man doesn't know what he wants, is recovering from his separation and isn't ready. And maybe will never be- and if he is, may not be with me. Even if your guy splits with this woman, there is little to no guarantee he'll come back. Usually when they say they love us, but not in love with us, it means it's not happening in that fluttering heart, make my knees weak way. And they want that. Doesn't mean they'll get it- but they'll keep looking until they give up. And that could be years. And they may not respect that we've been waiting. So take the advice I keep on getting. Make a clean break. It's tough because of the friends part. But what else to do? Is he going to invite you out with them? Because you're just friends. Now how much torture would that be? Do yourself a favour- cut the ties. You can't be free to meet anyone else as long as he is in teh background- and in your heart. I feel for you.

Calliwally: It;s people refusing to accept or read what OP said that is screwing up this thread. This happens very often and it's the same people doing it with their endless rants about the same old thing. I would like all these people to just stop- answer the bloody question and leave your agenda elsewhere. Not an issue of growing up- it's an issue of people getting the message and address the issues the various OPs are posing. People seem to not want to do that. I enjoy the forums but wading through all these personal agendas spoils it for everyone.

But I suppose you think there is some secret reason-likely attributed to my deep personality defects and dishonesty and lies etc that prevented me from doing so. Little girl- you got a long way to go and a lot to learn in life. You're too young to get it.

Dallas; You annoy me because I'm trying to follow this thread and you are seemingly obsessed about insisting this OP is cheating. You are making no worthwhile contribution except trying to show everyone how highly you think of yourself. If I were a guy reading this, I'd run for the hills with this holier than thou, perfect me judgement. Why don't you just stop and move to another thread. Id like to hear some opinions from those who actually paid attention to what OP said- and aren't consumed with conspiracy theories about hidden girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands, wives- it is truly bizarre.

Older fit men shunning older fit women and chasing 25 year olds??? What's with that? Posted: 8/23/2009 1:34:40 PM
Ismene: I agree that there are hateful men on here- I've encountered them. And I ignore them because their attitude is obvious. I'm just cautioning not to label things that way if they're not. Maybe the issue is the opposite= because I've been here less time I don't see things with those eyes. I can't be bothered with those type of people and i don't get nuts with them. I just see them for the people they are- angry, bitter, with an agenda- and I ignore their comments. That's all. I know there are misogynists- I didn't think this was. And the use it or lose it expression is not professional- but in every day parlance it's the same thing as the Mayo recommended. Maybe more base- but accurate.

SHE IS SINGLE. SO IS HE. Dallas, you and the others clearly have a reading disorder. You can't. yes I'm singling you out because you are becoming incredibly annoying but NOT READING.

ismene: Sapphire quoted this from the Mayo clinic. This is not a misogynist, sweeping generalization- it is a medical comment. What's up with the constant misogynist references? i didn't read any of the comments in that way. I think you're hyper-sensitive foryour own reasons.

So I guess what I thought was a joke is reality. They're not using it. I can't imagine being celibate for 10 yrs, let alone one year. How does someone let that happen? Sounds like an unfulfilling life. Would drive me to drink.

Hrlyguy- Too bad you are so far away- I'd go out with you! You have the right idea and you sound pretty grounded. What you write is so very realistic. Along with your kids' reactions- which i think wd be the reactions of most kids. along with embarrassment. When my mom died, my Dad wanted me to set him up with my friends. I just rolled my eyes and told him he was a dirty old man.
