Now that you're older, do you feel different about relationships?
Posted: 4/7/2012 7:07:37 PM
At 20 I thought there might be one great guy. At 37 I took a second shot at one great guy. Now at 50 I know there is no one great guy so I am open to dating more than one person and seeing where it goes and not in a rush to ever find just one great guy again. I am also, barring someone doing something cruel, ever going to really let someone go again. I may find a relationship doesn't meet my "every need" but that's okay. Friend tracks are okay. My family of birth .... I've lost many to death and some to disdain and I am building a new family from friends.

Love, in all it's forms, is important to me these days. You could say I've changed a lot and become much more laid back.

If a person initiates contact with you on POF, do you expect for them to have read your profile?
Posted: 4/7/2012 7:02:58 PM
I wish men would read first but I suspect most respond to the pictures. Since my interests are not mainstream they would save themselves grief and trouble by reading first. ;^)

Panic at 40, the middle age crisis.
Posted: 9/8/2008 3:35:05 PM
I think there is an arrogance to the way most people respond to posts on this site. What's the point?

I'm a woman and a nurse and basically most people I've had contact with, over time, have had their "crises"... not just the mid-life one many refer to. Some of these crises could be averted by paying more attention to what is going on in married life. There are distractions and folks get tired from working to keep up with whoever the mythical Jones types are nowadays.

Every so often someone decides they don't have enough money/love/sex/admiration or whatever. People are so prone in the richer communities of the world to want want want. Believe me.....having access to a computer to read these posts.... is a luxury most people in the world don't have.

I left a marriage over that sort of thing so I know its not fun.

Still, we are left with the detritus and it makes sense to think about what you can learn from the situation. It doesn't mean slamming the door on the future ability of someone to get close to you.

It's not a man thing. It's not a woman thing. It's a human being thing.

Lighten up people.

Twin Flame or soulmate
Posted: 8/17/2008 7:01:25 AM
That was an amazing post. I participated in Imaga therapy as a prequel to divorcing my second husband. Reminds me of something I learned there. Lots of information about "unfinished" business.

Thanks for sharing!

How do you turn it off
Posted: 7/23/2008 5:12:48 PM
It's not easy to turn off and it sure as heck doesn't have anything to do with being co-dependent. Hate it when labels are slapped on things.

Give yourself the gift of time. Get out with friends a little, go back to a hobby you enjoy, give some of your stuff away if it constantly reminds you of her. You could bury yourself in work but that can get as obnoxious as drinking too much. All things, as much as possible, in moderation.

I had certain music that I listened to after my divorces and that music had a healing quality to it, for me.

Try to feel your feelings but try not to wallow in them.

Why do you think men don't cry?
Posted: 10/28/2007 8:34:33 PM
Men cry. But some also become real introspective or lose themselves in an activity to bury feelings. My long gone ex would rather get angry and punch a wall than cry although when our cat Pepe died I saw a side of him I didn't get to see often.

Crying isn't a weakness its a humanness. But the culture than many are raised in views it as a weakness.

Advice about contacting a Lost Love.. Found- on Here!
Posted: 10/28/2007 8:02:16 PM
Why not just block him from contact before you act on the urge to say something? He is probably not going to have anything to say you really want to hear, you know?

Sometimes people up and leave or change and we just never know why. And that has to do.

SHOULD HUGE FINANCIAL DEBT BE A DEAL BREAKER?
Posted: 10/22/2007 11:14:01 PM
It depends on where that financial debt comes from.

If it is from educational expenses then it really shouldn't be a big deal.

If it comes from spending beyond one's means for the big toys and to keep up with the mythical Jones' family then its another thing.

Living within your means doesn't have to preclude date night or eating out once in a while or going on trips. Everything has to be budgeted. And combining two incomes into one can be real helpful especially when you consider that living in the same house means way less expense than maintaining two households.

married men

I blocked "intimate encounters" for a reason on my profile but then hear back from a man I've been chatting with that he is married and only looking for a fling.

Takes all kinds but I'm a bit irritated with the wasting. Hope he gets a rash, ya know?

Ummm..I hope that this is the right place to ask this???
Posted: 10/20/2007 11:00:53 AM
Aroundness? I hadn't thought of it that way.

I've lived on my own for around two years. Just me and then just me and two cats.

Once in a while a neighbor says hi but mostly I see no one here. It is a comforting thought, though, that there are people around in case something comes up. Once in a while I will hear a shower running or a cabinet door close and I feel less alone. Mind you, it's not a lonely thing and it does have its one aggravation.

Imagine coming home and smelling a wonderful meal in the hallways. Yummy! As I savor it I open up my door and two cats stare at me. I don't cook much anynmore so its a tease. Next smell is cat food, lol. Usually the fridge isn't stocked that well just cause it's not.

I see nothing wrong with being friendly with the neighbors if it seems to go that way. Can't think of everyone as a stalker.

Baggage
Posted: 10/20/2007 10:41:32 AM
Ick! I hate that word.

What I would think it means is "history." Given that I am forty-five I have history. I've been married twice and divorced twice, I have grown children, I have surgical scars, I've lost all my grandparents, parents and stepparents, I've gone to college and become a nurse (has a mindset all its own), memories good and bad, pets, what remains of a dysfunctional family of origin and certain stuff.

None of that is going to go away. It just means I've done some living.

If you want someone without all this marvelous proof of having lived a bit go stand by the carousel at the airport. You will find one whose bag was diverted.

Chances are, though, it will make its way back.

Same as in relationships.

how long have you kept online friends?
Posted: 10/20/2007 10:35:59 AM
I started chatting on the net in late 1997 and made some wonderful friends. To this day I keep in close contact with 3 of them and I know what 7 more are up to. We are adding each other to our MSpace pages.

You have to sift through a lot of people to find a handful of friends that are worth keeping but I'm glad I did and that I have begun to do it again.

Nope, the entire concept is rather silly. Conciousness doesn't exist without a brain.


Many brains don't appear to have consciousness, lol. Consciousness may invade a brain when it is open to receiving it. The soul is absolute consciousness.

So what are you going to be for Halloween?? lol
Posted: 10/14/2007 1:51:03 PM
I am honoring Samhain by attending an Ancestral Ball on the weekend before Oct 31. I will be dressed as a witch. I am a Pagan with Heathen leanings.

I used to live in a house in a neighborhood with lots of trick or treaters. I loved decorating with spider webs and headstones and that sort of thing.

I had a friend at the time and her daughter celebrated with other children at a party in which kids dressed up like Moses or Abraham or whomever they wanted to. It was a Bible party. They didn't turn off the lights while at home because they weren't at home. The children got the fun of dressing up. Sounded like a win-win to me.

I honor all paths that lead to God. There are an abundance.

How do I get someone bipolar to seek treatment?
Posted: 10/11/2007 8:03:25 PM
If you do some research on bipolar disorder the most telling part of the illness or diagnosis is that at least 40% lack the insight to actually know they have a problem.

That is... the up times are credited to just feeling really up and energetic. How can you argue with someone who cleans the house from top to bottom or works a lot more hours, assuming they are employed?

The down times... they have no energy or drive to get help.

Not a lot you can do. If it's someone you care about it's waaayyy harder than someone you don't.

Dead Aminals on Profiles...
Posted: 10/10/2007 4:29:38 PM
You are preaching to the converted as far as the usefulness of death in the scheme of things. I am a healer and it is implicit in the contract to be born that we all must die. That death might be relatively painless and suffering not implicit would be the best. How many people did I watch in that vague place hover between life and death and the only thing that made it real was the pain of being turned over or cleaned up or not being prescribed even meds, in this day and age, to be comfortable.

I am not thankful for death unless someone is suffering. And I am not going to express thanks to those people who get a kick out of spilling blood for sport. I guess people could shoot at tin cans or targets but they just don't make for the same trophy shot, do they?

I don't have to worry about going into a slaughterhouse. As a child the one I was driven past was pretty much open air. They were lined up and you could see it, hear it, smell it.

I will never be with a hunter again. As I said in my first post I am a healer. Spilling blood for sport does not make sense to me.

Dead Aminals on Profiles...
Posted: 10/7/2007 9:38:19 AM
My hunter ex brought home deer every season and hunted rabbits and squirrels too. He did quite well at fishing and spearing frogs but with an utmost disregard to others. He hung up the deer in the garage to drain into the kiddie pool. He cleaned fish on top of my washer and dryer. No class at all.

I have no problem with those who hunt to feed their family. That's survival! But unless you are an expert butcher you don't save much money. If you eat the fish you catch good for you! I live near Lake Michigan which has great perch fishing and the yearly run of the smelt. But... if you read the warnings... don't eat too much of the fish.

Hunting as a sport is not acceptable to me. For that sort of thing you could hunt with a camera and walk away with a trophy picture of the animal you are stalking. They look so much more regal without a man's hands holding up the remains by the antlers or hind legs.

I grew up in the tri-state area where WV, OH and KY converge and heard the cows screaming in the slaughterhouse several times a week as a passenger in the car. It was unnerving.

I find myself eating less and less meat, especially of the red variety.

We may have teeth that can rip meat apart but not every human is a carnivore.

I love this thread idea!

Having lived for a long time in a land far away with a hunter/fisherman I tend to pass on profiles of those who are thrusting a fish at the camera. Same for the guy holding up his dead deer by the antlers.

Just not my thing. I am in the healing professions.

Cleaniness and housework
Posted: 10/3/2007 6:37:08 PM
You know, dust doesn't bother me too much but I have an inner voice that tells me to pick up stuff and put it away. Don't care for thing piling up or being in chaos.

I like to think when I run the dishwasher or lay out my clothes each night that I am being nice to the me who I will be tomorrow, when I might be able to pry open only one eye on my way to getting ready for my day.

Right after I had my appendix surgery I had a two woman cleaning crew come in and do the stuff that hurt me to do but when its just one woman with a couple of cats not that much gets out of control.

It's not like I cook much. Heck I even make my bed 'most' of the time.

Met a nice guy who has bad teeth...
Posted: 10/1/2007 4:50:48 PM
I've been on dates with two different men who had bad teeth. I don't care if they are crooked or crowded. What I did notice is that one had four black teeth in the front that looked like they had no blood supply (they were dying) and the other had black roots on all front teeth and his breath was terrible.

Both of them tried to kiss me but years of being a nurse has made me a bit on the germ-a-phobic side. Rotten teeth cultivate bacteria and its really dangerous to the person living with the teeth as that bacteria is known to often go for the lining of the heart and cause a condition called endocarditis.

If your teeth are rotting out of your head have them pulled and get the infection out of your mouth. Otherwise your health is likely to suffer.

Only time I have turned my head or clamped my lips together violently during a date is when either of these guys have tried to kiss me. I just can't do it.

It would have made it a bit more helpful if either had mentioned a concrete plan to get the problems worked on but it was just not on either one's mind.

I had RSVP'd for this party and had found I would have to split my time between gatherings as something came up with my pagan group for the same night. Guess I will just focus my efforts there. I actually found the most awesome witch shoes at Spencer's yesterday.

I really wish that people would realize how much hard work goes into planning events and parties whether its for POF or not. I enjoyed the last two I went to and having been a GS Leader for five years know all the planning that goes into something that looks effortless. That is a credit to the host/hostess of the party. All the behind the scenes work is just that, a lot of work!

Anyways, maybe another time. I don't know why these things get called names like sausage fest. So what if more guys than gals or vice versa. The place has other people coming and going all the time, being a bar.

The menu was pretty even at the last venue but I didn't find any of the weenies asking me for a dance. Too picky if you ask me.

A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL?
Posted: 9/27/2007 6:51:41 PM
Here's what I think.... lol

If you are stressed out and in a relationship why isn't calling that person up to come over and snuggle you a way of de-stressing? Even if its a true sleep and cuddle date? Might get a nice foot rub or massage out of it.

I take my breaks but if you don't you are burning yourself out and not much good to anyone after enough of that. Take your damn breaks. And so what if you put, "call my honey" on your calendar? Make her your special little pink or blue post it note.

Reminds me of all the time I spent as a passenger when a man got lost and wouldn't stop for directions....

I worked for fifteen years without even getting bathroom breaks as a ortho nurse. Eventually you make time to pee cuz you don't want to burst your bladder or wet yourself. Your body reminds you.

Even so, I would insist on getting my breaks (in a closet if necessary) because the other folks who didn't weren't thinking clear without them.

There is always time for stuff. If you really want it.

pffft!

I'm not a guy but I work in an environment that sometimes takes up a lotta time. I make sure not to forget things by taking breaks and putting things on my calendar so they will pop up and remind me to do things.

So, if you aren't stepping away from your tasks during the day, just to get a breather, try that. And I bet you will find you have a moment to send a text message or a hi how are you message or something.

I am not a phone person either but at work I have to be. Regardless, for the right man I could be his phone person.

Met someone from here twice and after that he got real strange on the IM on yahoo. I agree with using common sense but even a date or two or three may not get you a guarantee of safety.

I make sure to save the pictures of who I talk to and let others know what I am doing. Will be easier to catch him later if he does something real stupid.

I have not given up on meeting people although only time will tell if POF is a good venue for that. I have no desire to be a loner although my life is like that sometimes. As it took some time to get used to living on my own and feeling comfortable doing my own thing it might take some time to get used to having someone in my life again. I think it would be awesome to take that special someone to drumming and to read books together and plan for all kinds of fun.

I'm ready, ya know?

Had had a couple of dates in the last month with a nice enough guy and he was hounding me on yahoo for a while, even if I didn't have my IM up. I have asked him why he doesn't ask me to go out on those normal every day life activities, like grocery shopping, and he swears he doesn't want to go too fast. LOL

I have the time, and inclination, to invite the right person to participate in my life. I have plenty of activities to choose from every week. But, the last thing I truly want, is someone who is taking the sloooooooooow boat. How can you get to know someone if he is too busy living his busy life.

I don't know why some guys say they are available when they are simply not. I suppose there are women who do this too.

Meanwhile, I keep meeting new folks. I even met a gal on here to hang out with!

Would You Disown Members of Your Family??
Posted: 9/20/2007 8:05:13 PM
I absolutely know that we choose the families we are born into, before we are born into them. Hell if I know why because there is a high level of dysfunction. The only thing that has made the dysfunction lessen is the death of family members and that's tough to acknowledge.

If the three ring circus wants me to perform they have learned it doesn't work that way. I made my way in this world without a lot of help. When I needed help it came with too high a price tag.

I live an hour and a half from most family now and you would think I moved to another continent. Anyone goes to see the other.... guess what, it's me! lol

I talk to my sis every day and my brother at least once or twice a week. When it starts leading to high drama I do things like I did tonight - went to the hair salon and did something nice for me. New stripes!! yeah!!

We chose these families to learn something. Every incarnation is another opportunity to learn something and to make choices and to live the consequences for the big picture. You are growing your soul.

Posted: 9/20/2007 7:40:14 PM
Some of what you read is absolute baloney. But in many cases people put their best foot forward. If you are in the market for a certain salary range in the man you want then guess you should keep looking til you find it. Btw, that really isn't love.

I gauge profiles based on what people say about themselves and it would be nice to be able to believe everything I read but it's not always true. That is why I do my best to meet someone after a few chats at the most to see if it has potential.

I don't ask what kind of car he's driving or what kind of money he makes. I do notice how he presents himself. And he doesn't have to be fancy just clean, hopefully not wearing torn or stained clothing. I have a fetish for clean, respectful and kind - not rich or expensive.

free spirits
Posted: 9/20/2007 7:30:10 PM
A free spirit does not follow the trends in clothing or fads and often takes a different path mentally or spiritually. Instead of being a part of the puddle they are an individual raindrop.

Being a free spirit doesn't mean you are a flake although some perhaps are. I think it means you can be very down to earth and dare not to talk about the politics or celebs or be driven by the acquisition of stuff.

Its easy to flow down the path with the rest of the raindrops instead of landing in a flower petal and inhaling.

I'm sure that sounded flaky.

Is it better to be alone Or settle for someone that is not Your type.

I read about six pages of this forum post and had to say that the word "perfect" came up almost as many times as "alone."

I've been alone in and out of a relationship so I can understand what that feels like. I am living alone by choice because my last relationship was with someone focused on himself to the point that he couldn't understand where I was coming from on most levels.

To have continued to spend time talking with him and wish for him to want the same things I wanted would have been self-defeating and ridiculous.

I just wonder how many times you have been attracted to a movie based on a trailer or a book based on the review and when you got into it you found out it sucked. I think people make the mistake of not delving a little deeper into the personality, habits and such of people who are at least interesting. My "type" has changed over the years and through the experience of knowing and being near or with other people.

I find myself interested in men of honor, courage, truth and integrity. And who will respect our differences. Will I find him in a certain package? Don't know.

I am trying to use this site as an adjunct to finding someone special. But I have come to the conclusion that the best chances of finding "him" are by getting out and doing things and assuming he might wander in when I least expect him. If I don't get out then if he wanders in, I will have to have him arrested lol.
