New Feature for Women.

*post note...lol...I agree...men should be allowed the same feature. There are as many psycho and/or potentially dangerous women (if not more) than men. Women may be dangerous or problematic in different ways but men deserve the warning as much as women.

New Feature for Women.

I think it is a very, very good idea. For example...to all the women who read this...and no I am not going to mention names....there is a young man on here who has contacted both myself and my daughter. To me he gave a fake name, to her his real one. It turns out my daughter knows him from school. He has been 'accused' of rape and he has been decidedly psychotic in his behavior towards my daughter. Thank God she is a smart girl and told me about his behavior. I will be adding him to my list of do not date and so will she. Sadly I don't have many women on my list to warn. Those I do however are very close and good friends. I trust them as they trust me.

There is an interesting book called...The Ethical Slut. It is based on Polyamory as opposed to Polygamy.

Why are older women not into younger guys???
Posted:
12/26/2006 11:47:43 PM
First off...I looove that banana! lol. He is laughing at us all.
Now, my 2 cents worth on this subject. I am an older woman. I have had a 25 yr old lover. He is amazing. I have been asked on a regular basis, by younger men on here to meet for a moment, a date, a whatever...and I have said yes. Not always. I will not go younger than 25. I hope. Seriously I have all the will power of a wet noodle. (that is not an invitation!). Anyways, my reasons/explanations....first I have had a rule (okay I broke but lets not quible), my rule has been;
'I will not be with anyone who was not a sparkle in their mommas eye the day I graduated highschool'. Now this included in chat/cyber as well.
My newest rule...
'If you are the right age to date my daughter....it just isn't going to work with me'. competeing with an 18 yr old is just wrong.
Now, having said that, I will tell you, there are alot of guys under 25 who are very mature for their age. For any age really. Here is the thing tho, my list of...things...
-As mature as you are, the world still views May-men/December-women as 'uncomfortable' or immoral. You might have the cojones to stare the opposition down but most older women have had strap their cojones on more times than they want to...we pick our battles now.
-No woman likes to hear..."oh is that your son?". (even if my response was a ballsy, hell no honey he's the man I have sex with)
-What if we fall in love? The chances that you will want to move on, find a wife and have children...highly probable, why raise the odds of a heartache.
-Life experience. Sadly there is no substitute for life experience. It tends to crop up at uncomfortable places.
-Generation gap....you cut your first tooth on a computer, I didn't see my first computer until grade 12. It had a black screen with orange writing. We were born in the age of ponchos and bell bottoms. You were born in the age of muffin tops and whale tales.
-My last one...as an overweight, older woman with an extremely high sex drive, and a pretty sturdy ego, I still have no wish to get all horny over one more guy who has to close his eyes or look away when he touches me...because in his mind he wants to be with a girl who has the body of someone his age but the imagination of someone my age. And while that scenario can happen with older guys too...the reality is that the odds are in the favor of it not happening with older men.
All that said and done...my advice to older women...you should give it a go
if the connection is really zinging...screw the world, the opinions and the fear of heartache. The best lover and the best connection I have ever had is/was with a man 16 yrs younger than me.
To the young man in question, the young men....don't give up. Take no for an answer but don't give up on the rest of the older women.

Seasonal Reflections
Posted:
12/26/2006 3:58:28 AM
I am new to POF and so far this has been a very, very, rewarding experience. When I say rewarding I do mean it in several ways. I have been approached by several men, of a variety of backgrounds, future hopes, present dreams and fears.
The reason I mention this is because I found myself reflecting on why we are here. I have been having a wonderful time but then I am also at the point in my life where I am seeking out new things. I have a great deal in common with so many others in here.
How many of us are just getting into dating again? Or rather, getting back into being social. Whether it's coffee, dinner or breakfast. Whether it is strictly chat or email. So many of us are in the beginning excitement of new adventures. I have been single for 2 years and yet I am just now letting myself relax! I have met a few very brave men who in different ways are not wasting as much time as I did. I am proud to see that so many are trusting their instincts to slow down or back off if they don't feel in control of the direction things are going. Some need to stay in the parameters of POF, some branch immediately into e-mail, from e-mail to e-mauling and then...chat...msn or yahoo. That big step...the face to face encounter, boy thats the tough one. So many things to worry about, public place meetings, condoms (ALL THE TIME FOLKS...even if you did just get the good result test back from your Dr!), conversational lulls, awkward silences, embarrassing faux pas, chemistry, (and yes I know that was not in the best possible order! lol).
Some people have just experienced their first Christmas/Kwanzaa/Hannukah/Yule/Winter Veil... alone. I remember how hard that was. Even if it was something you wanted...it is still hard. I admire everyone who has had the courage to step outside their safe area and taken a chance. My advice would be, trust your intuition, if doesn't feel right, maybe it is too soon. If you feel alone, scared, lost...talk to your new friends about it. No matter what though, keep moving forwards. The people I have met here have given me many types of friendship, I have had intellectual discussions, intellegant conversation, stimulating soliloquies, brief quips and even sullen introductions. Everyone one of these has helped me get through a difficult Christmas.
So basically this forum/commentary....is to say "I am proud to know you" as well as 'Thank You". I would wish everyone a wonderful season! A toast to new friendships, lovers and acquaintances!
