Smoking.....Occasionally??? Posted: 12/5/2008 6:36:51 AM
Thanks for the warm welcome. The whole smoking thing makes me irritable...maybe I need another cigarette. Again, thank you!

Phishy... I would watch your fish breath. Does pfish breath count or only ashtray breath? Sorry not an offensive person here and avoid most forums...but Get Real! The world isn't made up of perfect people. Did I say that?

I don't think lungs emit an odor in your mouth, but not a scientist. As far as the mouth, yes but depending on cleanliness habits, you don't need to smell like an ashtray. That would gross me out too and I smoke! Brushing and chewing gum eliminate mouth odor be it garlic or smoke. Smoking ouside eliminates it clinging to clothes. I am not "The Smell Detective" but no one ever smells smoke on me and I work in upscale shops. I am not defending smoking but am tired of being picked on. Yes it's bad for you, overeating is bad for you, so is drinking too much and not getting enough exercise.

Smoking.....Occasionally??? Posted: 12/4/2008 1:01:43 PM
Occasionally can mean different things to different people. I smoke but don't consider it a "deal breaker" if you don't - just kidding! Is smoking enough of a reason to keep you from finding true love? Does it lessen your opinion of a person? Does make them weak or ignorant? You see I grew up in a generation when originally smoking was pretty cool because we didn't know it was "really" bad for you. All the Movie Stars smoked in movies, even Doctors, in hospitals, courtrooms, offices - amazing isn't it. We smoked in the lobby in theaters, in restaurants, and bars were full of smoke. We have gone full circle regarding smoking, but people are still the same good people who got sucked into a bad habit. I know I will be quitting soon, and have the medicine ready when I decide "It's my time!" Meanwhile I will enjoy my "occasional" cigarette several times a day!

Why do YOU still make the effort. Posted: 7/28/2008 1:05:43 PM
You get out of life what you put into it. If you don't try you will never know what you might have missed. I believe in love, and so am here to try try try again. Don't be discouraged - that's a negative force. Trish

When someone points out that you're old.. Posted: 6/11/2008 3:06:05 PM
Tell them you didn't know that and ask if they needed to tell you that because you didn't know or because they hadn't grown up yet. My Mother is 99. She always says, Don't Get Old. I tell her it's the better alternative.

How many of you are grandparents are raising their grandchildren? Posted: 4/29/2008 3:06:25 PM
I am also rasing my Grandson with my son who is a single Dad. He took on the responsiblity because the Mom ran off and would not allow DCF to help her. My Grandson is 11 now and a gift to us all. My Son finally found a great gal with 2 kids of her own and they are putting their little family together. My Grandson has been with me since he was 16 months. Our whole family has loved and taken care of him. When he finishes this year of school he will move in with Daddy and new GF full time, but he knows he always has a room here. It will be difficult, since I have been Mom but I am not ready to handle another teenager. He will only be 40 minutes away and I am sure will be here on weekends. I am proud of my Son for being such a good Dad at such a young age (18). Thanks for all the Kudos here but you know I am truly the one who is lucky. Trisha

Average guys are great. It's the young, handsome one I don't want. Open to most anyone who is honest and has good intentions. Money is important, but only inasmuch as you have enough to pay your bills. Romantic Love is worth more than the best looks or the most money. I think there has to be chemistry tho, maybe that's what you didn't have with the women you dated. I wish everyone lots of luck in finding "the one" for them, and believe there is someone special for everyone. An optimist - yeah! Trisha

Thanks Pink, I don't plan on quitting and think this is a great site so maybe I'll participate more and try to attend one of the meets here. My son had dates several girls from here, but the younger crowd I believe many be more adventurous. I am more than willing to take a chance. Trisha

Probably because I have only had one date from this site and other sites have pretty much let to the same results. I have talked to a few men on the phone, but nothing further developed. Also, they did not live in my area. Trisha

Yes I was wondering about the brie also bellalynda. Nice that you have met some people here. I am on the West Coast of Florida too, but more central than South. I believe there are some that meet here but never in a location that's close to me and I am not much for going out at night alone. Thanks for your input! Trisha

I am finding out there is a lot of talk and flirting but is anyone serious about really finding that someone they want to spend the rest of their life with? I have been a member for quite some time, but never get dates or actually meet anyone. Are guys afraid or what? Or is this just a game we play to keep entertained while we spend our evenings alone? Would love input on this subject.

Yes, it is discouraging, I think the men are afraid sometimes. I know I am willing to go out and meet a man. Rejection is scary but ..nothing ventured, nothing gained. I will continue to fish here!! Trisha

Is red hot romance possible after 50? Posted: 10/24/2007 3:33:43 PM
Yes I think it is and I am over 60. I know I can feel the chemistry sometimes but haven't found the "one". Energy levels are different, so are priorities, but I think we feel the same as we did as 20 and 30 year olds. So we just gotta work a little harder to keep the flame burning, but well worth it in my opinion. You haven't found the right girl yet! Trisha

Get a grip of the reality of your age Posted: 9/3/2007 8:50:17 AM
I'm all for removing the numbers from our brain. My age is inconsequential - it's how I feel and think that matters. I have always looked at life with a youthful outlook and never criticized the younger crowd. There is always going to be change and it's fine with me. Age is in your head and your heart!!

why cant we all look at the inner beauty instead of whats on the outside?? Posted: 5/4/2007 7:27:05 PM
The only way to find the inner beauty is to get to know a person..and I find that I am guilty of looking at the external too, for the initial chemistry. I think chemistry can certainly develop when inner minds meet and click. I think dating sites can be painful for some. I try to look at what a person wrote and find a connection there and leave the photos for later. I think also, that many people are afraid to meet even though they have the desire to do so. It's hard to juggle work with other things these days. Many of us are just "Stayin' Alive" as the song goes. ( an old one!) Hope to see more people mingle just for the sake of exploring each other 's minds. Good luck and may Love find you all! Trisha

Dating over 50 Posted: 4/1/2007 10:25:34 AM
Hey not a guy here but wow you said some truths there for sure! The Babyboomers in nursing homes is hysterical. Well written and very entertaining. Ya think a nose ring is attractive on an 85 year old? I can relate to the over 50 dating - even tho I just hit over 60! It's very difficult sorting through the criteria these days, the baggage, non-smokers only, like busty women, BBW, no photos need respond, the Harley riders, from long hair to bald shaved (which I find attractive). And yes, the allergic to cats!!! Yes, the baggage does exist - if we have lived at all! Thanks for sorting through the maze here and making me chuckle! Trisha

smokers Posted: 3/31/2007 11:29:37 AM
Sounds like she didn't read. Maybe she went back and looked and saw that you smoked and decided to make it a quick dinner, rather than break the date. I know, I know, it's a pain to deal with the discimination (I used that term very very loosly). Smoking has become so socially inacceptable and that's fine but it's also sad to throw away what could be a good relationship over it. My Dad smoked for years and my Mom didn't mind. Their marriage lasted 49 years! I smoke but am very fastidious about how I smell. I have walked by people before that smelled like ash trays - but they don't wash or smoke way way too much! If you keep it outside and away from non-smokers aren't we carrying this too far! Ok I opened a can of worms here..........so here goes! LOL

One third of older women date younger men Posted: 3/30/2007 12:31:38 PM
This is an interesting post for me. I get more flirts from younger men than older. What is considered a younger man - 5 years to me doesn't make much difference. I think it's how you relate and what your interests are. I certainly don't want to date a man closer to my son's age than to mine. However, I think women are aging better these days, don't you?

Hey this is the best part of my life! I am free to to what I want - work is a given but I love what I do. I am 61 now and even host a chat room. I do all the things I am smart enough to do now. I am not afraid to try new things. It's all about how you live, not how old you are. Todays women are much more confident and have a lot more savy. Sisters, keep the faith!!! Trisha

Losing a loved one to death Posted: 3/23/2007 2:47:43 PM
I too lost my husband after a 38 year marriage. It was never perfect, nothing every is...but I can't be sad now and I celebrate with my children that he was a good Dad and husband. It has been two years and I am totally ready to move on with my life. It takes a while but I have discovered how strong I am and have even found a totally new career. You will find the strength somewhere and when you do, you will be empowered by it. I am sure I will never compare another man to what I have had in the past. I am starting over and with a great deal of optimism! Love is stronger than any other emotion..even grief. Hugs dear and be strong!!! Trisha

I don't look at profiles of men without shirts. I like a mans' body but it shows to me that they lack something and something is missing for me, if they post that kind of photo. oooo lots of negative response here I feel it. no offense guys!

Many Scammers Posted: 3/18/2007 3:12:53 PM
Yes, Unfortunately there are many scammers on these sites. Many photos are taken from an Hawaiian Models Web Site. I almost got caught up in one and found a group called Romancescams.com. There was a lot of info available and the photos from the web sites they use. I very often see them and know right away it's a scammer. It is very unfortunate but all you can do is learn how to spot them. Usually the grammer is poor but not always. In the case of a woman, they are usually some sort of Engineer who travels. Mostly they have at least one child to caputure a woman's sympathy right away. The plan moves from Iming you to that person being in Africa or some place like that and needing money that they can't redily get, or they want to mail goods to you which you pay for (as a loan). I would waste no time on that person and immediately cut off all contact. They know too many ways to get sympanthy and can string you along very skillfully. Good luck in your search..there are lots of ligit profiles out there. Trisha

Scammers here on PoF Posted: 8/9/2006 1:26:53 PM
Yes, I have talked to scammers but not here. They are on every site I have been on however. They steal photos from modeling websites, one is focushawaii.com I have seen pictures on a couple of other sites that are models from this agency. There photos are available to see at the site. Usually they end up asking for something. Money or to ship stuff to you. Their English is poor and they claim undying love after one or two e-mails. They want to instantly IM you. A lot of them are in Nigeria. I have run into two and knew from the first e-mail. They are disgusting criminals so brush up on what to look for and lets get rid of as many as we can! Trisha
