How far would you travel for a love affair?
Posted: 7/5/2009 10:33:16 PM
I would travel to the moonfor the right guy. I am just a romantic, plus I don't have many ties here.
I take that back, lol, I would travel no more than a 12 hour drive, so to be close enough to my grandkids and kids.

I wrote this poem a few years ago and was reading it. Watch out guys. LOL

Take Your Pick

Men, men everywhere
Take your pick, but do not stare
Some are tall, some are lean
Some look really good in jeans
Some are short, some are fat
Some look like they swallowed a rat
Some have brown eyes, some blue
Some look like they would make good stew
Put them in a pot, stir it twice
Add a little salt and maybe some spice
Cook them until they are medium-rare
Be really careful not to burn their hair
Cook them up and fish them out
They can’t stand the heat, what’s that about?
Drain the water and let them out
Giggle and laugh while they pout
Display them for the world to see
Don’t worry guys, this is only a fantasy

Death and the age of 50....
Posted: 7/3/2009 6:30:49 AM
People are living longer now that years ago. I work in an assisted living facility. We had a woman pass away a few months ago, just short of her 106 birthday. Right up until 2 months before her passing, she was very active, perfect health and her mind was excellent. She donated her brain to science. The facility I work in has 94 residents, many in their 90s and about 5 or 6 who are 100.

If you are thinking of people like Michael Jackson, lifestyle and drugs play a big part of that.

People with cancer are living a lot longer than they used to. I almost died in my 50s too, with a pulmonary embolism, but it wasn't time for me to go yet

Why not happiness
Posted: 6/30/2009 9:38:32 PM
I am of the firm belief that if you are not happy with yourself, how can you expect someone to be happy with you, somewhat on the same thinking, if you don't love yourself why would you expect another to do so.

46 is young, you got plenty of time!!

You can feel sorry for yourself being alone, although I believe it takes two to tango, so to speak. You can't go back, so why not go forward and be happy, regardless of the circumstances.

JMO of course.

Beating the heat at our age
Posted: 6/29/2009 8:49:57 PM

I have often wondered, if we lived somewhere that has summer all year round would people loose weight so they could wear heat appropriate clothing. Would they exercise more because they weren't hiding in the house from freezing temps?


Dunno, are there fat people in Hawaii, or Southern California or Florida, to name a few. A lot of people in seasonal climatesw, such as Maine are outside snowmobiling, or ice skating or skiing in the winter. Just a thought

Go to the beach and you will see all sizes, lol

OT, I wear what I'm comfortable, if they don't wanna look, then don't. I can always find fatter or thinner wherever I go,

Which date left you laughing
Posted: 6/27/2009 6:57:06 AM

OK I have never really dated and I did try it once I met a guy online from india and he was a DR. I thought he'd be normal and respectable We went to dinner then for drinks he stopped to check into his hotel and made the comment I was like a cow and asked if he could milk me, and by the end of the date he actually asked if i'd be interested in a little role play and calling him brother needless to say he never got a call back and my friends still moo at me. I was offended not knowing wheather to laugh or slap him but I do find the humor in it that was a definate dating disaster


Nice guy, insults you, then wants to jump your bones

It is funny now but I bet it wasn't at the time!

I hope you left him with two black eyes. BTW most men are not like that!

Is Age Your Mentor
Posted: 6/27/2009 6:45:27 AM

What would be your lesson to a younger student of the same sex for dating or relationship success ?


I have a young woman at work who is in a controlling, abusive marriage. They have been married about 5-6 years and have a 3-yr-old daughter. I have known this young lady for 7 years and she is like a daughter to me.

She talks to me about her situation, and she says her mother and father think like I do. I have been there, done that, and I didn't give up easy, so I know where she is coming from. Her husband doesn't work, is on prescription drugs (he was on illegal drugs before) takes her money, lives with his grandparents. He is mostly verbally abusive, and I told her it only gets worse. She doesn't listen! So all I can do is be there for her,

As far as success in relationships, I have learned the hard way, and don't you know by now, the younger generation knows it all? They have to live and learn same as we did.

Do you believe the older we get, depression sneaks in?
Posted: 6/21/2009 9:36:18 PM
I don't think age has much to do with it, but if you have more time on your hands and you see life passing you by, that could contribute to depression.

I was on anti-depression medication when married but got off them shortly after my divorce and haven't had a problem since.

I think we all have our down days. I know I do, but can always find something to be thankful for.

Which date left you laughing
Posted: 6/17/2009 9:36:12 PM
This one goes back a long ways. It was the 2nd date with my now ex. We went out to eat and believe it or not I was rather shy about eating in front of anyone. I am a slow eater and every time I looked up he seemed to be staring at me! That made me nervous so I put down my fork. He asked if I was done. I said yes, thinking we would leave. He reached over, took my plate and ate what was left!!!

Moral of this story. I married a pig....

menopause
Posted: 5/5/2009 9:38:56 PM

Ok,I understand that menopause could be a sensitive subject,and thats why I am asking.But AGE and Weight???


If you meet someone NOT on a dating site, I guess you could ask their age, but never ask a lady their weight, especially at first!!

You can always assume that they will tell you their exact age, and even online you never know..

First of all, menopause is not a disease, or an STD!

I never went thru it as I has a hysterectomy when I was 32 and was put on hormones, but I do remember a few "hot flashes"..

I don't think you will get far if your first sentence is asking a woman in their 50s if they are menopausal!! Live and learn!

Just not going there any more.
Posted: 4/26/2009 10:13:59 PM

So we do the FWB thing, take a lover and friend, making sure that those emotional boundaries aren`t crossed, keeping it neat, tidy, something that isn`t going to put our world into an emotional tail spin, or cause strife to others in our life. We don`t take the "risk" of having real emotions or relationships, and we can walk away quite easily, without a whole lot of drama.

So what happens when you meet someone that just grabs your emotions? When you really start to feel for someone, miss someone, want them in your life but there are many complications. Usually it is so easy to just walk away. Is it the adult and wise
thing to just stay away, and let those passionate feelings die rather than to deal with all the risk and issues?

What would you do at this age if you fell for someone hard, after you had pretty much promised yourself to keep it simple and stay unattached because of all the problems of the past with relationships?


This is the very reason I won't do the FWB thing, I know myself well enough to know that I would get emotionally involved. It is very hard, IMO, to set your feelings aside and just be friends once that sexual line has crossed. JMO.

Romance Through the Ages
Posted: 4/7/2009 6:06:02 PM

What was courtship and marriage like for our distant ancestors? Beginning with the ancient Greeks' recognition of the need to describe more than one kind of love, inventing the word "eros" to describe carnal love, and "agape" to mean a spiritual love.


I haven't been in the forums for awhile, but never thought I would get a "personal" questions.

Seeing I'm a distant ancestor, I can't remember!!

Why is Viagra considered Taboo?
Posted: 1/26/2009 11:36:55 PM

The only part that concerns me is the potential for "an erection that lasts 4 hours or more".

I have other things I need to do



I would have things to do AFTER the 4 hours too, like take a hot bath!

Why some get better with age, and others don't
Posted: 1/23/2009 11:53:10 AM
Everyone is different, with different backgrounds and upbringing.

As far as getting better... I wouldn't say better. As people age, perhaps life experiences have made an impact on their life, and they have grown up and learned from those experiences. Or they haven't learned, or had bad experiences growing up.

OP, maybe the reason for your parents happiness is they are happily married.

Define Love at this stage
Posted: 1/12/2009 7:15:30 PM
Love is the same at this stage as it ever was.

Age is no respector of love. What we once thought "love" was, probably was just lust anyhow, or for me it was.

Now that I'm older and have experienced true love, words cannot express it. It just is!

Is sex as important to you as it once was?

Sex for the sake of sex, not important IMO.. Intimacy is more important to me, which could or could not include the sexual act.

If you don't want to deal with children,then that should be brught out really quckly into the relationshship even before a first date

The worst thing anyone can do it go into it blind-sited and then learn it isn't meant to be. It shouldn't be just your comfort to consider, if the relationship doesn't work out, then the kids would be deserted from a mother figure. JMO

Is it OK to say that I still love my ex?
Posted: 1/10/2009 8:34:48 AM
I believe if you are going to talk about a spouse, it would be a good idea to bring up both good ad bad parts of the marriage. Sometimes if people only speak of the good you tend to forget the bad and you are divorced so there had to be some times.

Now if I prepared a good meal and he came over and was bragging about his ex-wife's cooking, I would probably show him the door and tell him to go there for dinner

Pesuading someone over 45 to do a background check on their SO
Posted: 12/29/2008 10:55:16 PM
OP, I will go a different route here, as we are talking about adults.

I would suggest to your friend the possibility that he may need to do a background check as he doesn't know the lady that well.

That is where I would leave it. He is not your son, or teenager, so therefore I believe if you do a background check, that is crossing the line as far as your friend's personal life is concerned. JMO

Criticism in a relationship
Posted: 12/8/2008 11:30:43 AM
I can't believe I read all these pages and seen people go round and round and can't help wondering why......


The topic is about whether one chooses to be in a "relationship" if it involves a lot of criticism? In the OP, the pov put forward is that if people choose to become involved with each other, it is not reasonable to "accept" that one should be subjected to criticism for habits, traits, viewpoints, etc.. that were known by the other, when he/she chose to be in a relationship with you.


I can see how this can happen, no matter what the age. In the beginning of any relationship, we tend to overlook a lot of traits because of that physical attraction. After being in a relationship for awhile, some tend to see the real person and the criticism begins! What was once "cute" become irritating.

Now, as far as remaining in a relationship where there is criticism, to each their own. As long as both are comfortable with it, who cares!

Men happy, women sad, over 48 ?
Posted: 11/19/2008 4:17:00 AM

While women are finding more and more competition in all facets of life. If married they are older and not looking like a Pretty Young Thing (no matter what they do). If unmarried they see all the singles dances and activities filled with women.


This is hard to figure out. Maybe it is because women look in the mirror more and men don't see their balding heads, pot bellies, and they are disillusional thinking they still look like they are in their 20s?

I'm way over 49 and I look damn good!

Posted: 11/17/2008 11:21:09 AM
IMO, it is normal to want that human touch.

An older lady told me once that we need 12 hugs per day! Now I don't know about that but human touch is very important.

Booker, I work with the elderly and they are truly a blessing. We even have some in their 80s who have b/f and g/f . It is amazing to watch them, come to the dining room in a walker and their eyes light up when they see their SO in the room.

You are never too old to want that human touch!

Posted: 11/14/2008 8:22:26 AM
OK, sounds like he may be the one playing games.

Sounds like he is:

1... Controlling and wants you to be more emotional

2... Senses that you are controlling your emotions and not letting him know how you really feel.

3... It could be that he is falling for you and is just confused as to how you feel.

My suggestion: Talk to him about it.

I haven't seen the film, and am still wondering what her plastic surgery has to do with it, unless she was getting paid from the married men!

Emotions definitely play a part in one's ability to love.

The problem on relying mainly on emotions, I would tend not to see things that I would with my eyes and mind. There has to be a balance IMO

As far as jumping from a fire, I'm sure my brain would tell me to jump, unless I am on the 50th floor

I've only been on this site for a few weeks, but I have looked at alot of profiles by women, and sex is not on any list anywhere that I can see. I know, I know, every man would read it as "open to immediate gratification", but it would only take one sentence to explain that some other things that need to happen first. If you read these profiles literally, and scour every "list" of what women want, not only is sex not on there, it reads as if every man who has sex on his mental list is an offender, or potential one, and will be reported, blocked, banished, etc. Unless there is some code word for sex that the ladies use that I don't know, I suggest that women be little more upfront, especially if it is a "requirement", high up or low down. lol


I read your profile and see no where on the interests where sex is "listed".. What's up with that? (pun intended)

However, I did not read the whole profile. It was too long!
