Why do men want to see revealing pics right away?
Posted:
11/22/2009 10:59:18 AM
I'm gonna guess the guys aren't into creative eye shadow either - and that pictures of you smiling might work better.
Then there's the body type thing. Athletic? Really? ok...Natasha, save me a seat on the couch, will you?

What to do
Posted:
11/20/2009 11:03:56 PM
But here's the problem or problems, shall I say, i'm currently divorcing and my soon to be Ex played on our team at one point, so she knows her. Second, she's my friends sister. Third she's moving in a couple of weeks, but only about 40 minutes away, and fourth, I'm 34 and she's only 25.
As I've said it once, I'll say it again...some men seek out drama. This is a train wreck waiting to happen.
Lately we've been talking a lot more, we went out to a bar the other and I caught her just staring at me, also, she saw my DL picture and she made a purring sound to her friend, so i'm taking it that she may be interested.
You were out
and she could have just been flirting meaninglessly. A DL pic is rarely flattering.
Is it too much of an age difference?
Possibly.
What should I do?
Get your shyt and get your act together.
I've been separated for over a year, and I have been dating.
Gee, I'm sure that t his is great for all parties, including women who see you as "single".
Good luck.

Why are we in such a hurry?
Posted:
11/20/2009 10:50:32 PM
I sometimes wonder if those in a "hurry" are those who should stay by themselves for a little while.
This is an understatement and I've found that there are some who should possibly stay by themselves for several years, if not forever.
I have gotten fairly astute about those who want "immediate gratification". If they aren't trying to throw me on the floor or the couch right away (cluelessness), I can feel them looking at their watch and tapping their foot wanting to move on. There is a difference between one who truly wants to get to know you and and one who wants to hit it and
. This is why I'm grateful for my network of friends and am able to enjoy my own company.

People, why against the rocking chair on the porch?
Posted:
11/19/2009 6:53:18 PM
No rocking chair on the porch, but have a lovely chaise on the patio for when I'm not running around or cleaning something. It is absolute heaven to be able to sit there to relax and read or knit, and listen to the birds, especially when the neighbors across the ditch aren't playing their radio at high decibels. Just remember that moderation is key...

Men over 45 who dye their hair
Posted:
11/19/2009 6:45:31 PM
^^Really?
Dyed hair on men isn't much different than on a woman, as long as you have someone who knows what they are doing and it looks good with your skin tone. The rule is lighter as you age.

Is This a Good Reason For a Husband to Leave?
Posted:
11/19/2009 6:41:03 PM
Where is this young man's father? And why isn't he expected to help out if help is really needed? It seems he should have more responsibility than the new husband.
Great question and point. It seems that many tend to marry without looking at the big picture and what could happen. Note to self: check into how independent the kids are before getting seriously involved. Not to be harsh OP, but that is a consideration when choosing a spouse. It seems that you possibly chose someone who may have assumed that since the kids were grown, that he could get away with being the kid.

Why don't men date single mothers...the answer

I can't blame you and this is probably why he is single. Perhaps he needs to find someone more "spontaneous", which is hard this day and age.

How is Having Unprotected Sex NOT Trying to Get Pregnant?
Posted:
11/10/2009 9:14:59 PM
You do have men who are too "macho" for condoms and women who will do absolutely anything to "please" and "keep" a man...any man...then you have those who are older who think that nothing can "happen" to them because they can no longer give birth but end up with an std from some smooth talker.

I think she's celebrating her new found freedom by using you for sex. She got out of a long term relationship, and wants to take things slow, but slept with you on the 1st. This is a contradiction if you ask me.

DUIs a deal-breaker?
Posted:
11/9/2009 12:50:59 PM
Would you get serious with a person who had two DUIs five years ago?
No. DUI's take up a lot of person's time with mandatory meeting, fines, etc. If someone is stupid enough to make the same mistake twice, I'd have to say no.
What if you thought he or she was great in every other way?
Maybe...but they'd have to be freakin' fabulous, especially if they have lost their driver's license as I'd probably have to drive. Been there, done that.
What if he or she hasn't been a drinker since that time and is a faithful A.A. member?
Only if they didn't force the 12 steps down my throat. Disclaimer: not all of them do, but I've met some who make you feel like a bad person for doing so. I'm a social drinker and they may be better suited for another faithful AA member.

What a man over 45 looks for in a relationship.
Posted:
11/6/2009 9:16:25 PM
A woman who doesn't mind cooking
I don't mind it, am rather good at it, but only when I want to.
A woman who does some housework
I clean my own house, and expect him to take care of his. However, if we cohabitate, I expect that there will be outside help. This is not a bad thing for it frees me up to be the upstairs maid.
A woman who is great in the sack
I'm not bad, especially when I have the downstairs maid issues covered and he picks up after himself.
A woman who holds down a decent job
I am steadily employed.
A woman who respects his free time
As I want mine respected.

Should we HELP others with their profiles here?
Posted:
11/6/2009 4:56:18 PM
I don't think that we should impose it upon those who don't want it or upon the clueless but...one of my friends on here addresses this issue in her profile and offers to help others. She tells them that bad spelling, and 2 word profiles are a turn off to others. A few have taken her up on her offer. Then...there were the few who wanted her to write testimonials for them.
She passed on that because she just didn't feel right saying glorious things about someone she doesn't know.

The key word is "girl". Try dating young women, not "girls" in the future, you may find them to be less psycho and dramatic. I know that it is only a piece of paper, but you may want to consider a restraining order against her and her deciples. Good luck.

Is marriage necessary for a healthy LTR?
Posted:
11/4/2009 10:52:14 AM
^^^Who says that one has to cohabit or get married in order to have a healthy LTR?
I know of a couple who were together for over 30 years who lived separately and happily and were committed to each other. Unfortunately, he passed away before they were going to tour the country in a motor home after both had retired.

Shaving or trimming your privates at our age?
Posted:
11/4/2009 10:26:24 AM
Also, some folks are so big they can't even reach their privates to appropriately wipe after using the bathroom ... how would they ever manage to shave "down there" appropriately?
Thanks for the visual.
Waxing isn't fun, but the secret is to find someone who knows what they are doing and can do it quickly and efficiently. This is not the time for long and slow....

Promiscuity ~~ Pros and Cons
Posted:
11/3/2009 7:42:02 PM
he came in with two broken thumbs...i had to cut his meat for him to eat it that night.
Did you ever find out why?
Ok I'll play:
You get "lucky" a lot or a little. I guess some people do, as there seems to be a "born again ho" movement among the over 40.
The cons: Some never get "lucky" with their lack of caring and respect for others, it can be empty and you will be alone in the end...not to mention the risk for std's that I'm sure have been mentioned 437 times in this thread.

Baby mama drama

If he is a responsible father to the children, then give the poor schmoe a chance. If he's one of those text-speaking, ghetto-talking morons that are out trying to repopulate the world, then by all means, pass on him.
And please, pretty please use good birth control (preferably tubal ligation after 3) and condoms to prevent std's. There are many "Lothario's" out there who are legends in their own mind and leave the support of their kids to the tax payers. As another poster said, that's a lot of kids to pay attention to. Good luck to you.

OP, You are 25 and although they qualify as adults, the guys your age are boys. Oh wait, some guys pushing 50 and 60 do the same thing. My bad.
The advice is if you don't like it, there is the option of saying and moving on.

Welcome to the world where many women have to deal with being called "babe", "baby", "honey," "sweetie", etc....You just need to set the boundaries that we do and let the individual(s) know that you don't like it. It's called "communication" and it can be done tactfully. Really....

Slutty/Sexy Halloween Costumes
Posted:
10/29/2009 12:50:35 PM
I was thinking of going as a one night stand. I get a cheap nightstand, cut a hole in it, glue a condom and box of wine to it and smudge my makeup. I won't even have to bathe that day.
Love it! I hope that you don't mind if I steal this sometime. I may even have to wear it to our local "meet market". Message 13, I went as white trash one year wearing a white trash bag, had my hair in curlers and "Billy Bob" teeth.
I think that people want to use Halloween as an excuse to do so, and I hate slutty costumes (and every day clothing) for children.

LET'S GET SCARY
Posted:
10/27/2009 10:53:23 AM
They don't teach Driver's Ed in school any more, so the younger drivers are the worst. They have no concept of stopping distance. Having been rear ended by a tailgater in rush hour traffic (in my new 3-week old car), I get very tense whenever someone is riding my bumper or comes up fast behind me at a stop light and stops at the last second. GRRRRRRR<,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I'm with you Boomer. Last Friday night, I went out dancing with friends. When I was (carefully) backing out of my parking space, my left rear bumper was hit by a white pick up truck that kept right on going as if nothing had happened. I have a feeling that this azzhole was drunk.
I got a large gash in my bumper and a the plastic broken off of the tail light. I was too stunned and the driver was too far away to get the plate number. I now have to deal with this with my next increment of "spare time", which won't be until December.
I'm ok and everything works, but everytime I look at the car I get p1ssed off.
I also work at a University and the students (many who drive luxury vehicles
) cannot drive to save their lives. They race through the parking lot, cut you off, text while driving, and don't use directionals.
