London coffee meets - anyone else interested in hosting them? Posted: 11/20/2009 12:01:59 PM
^^^Well Mr. F, if you are just so very down on what others have hosted in the past, why do you not suggest something more "upbeat" and to the liking of others? I would say "your" but it isn't all about you now is it? It is about the rest of us "losers" as you fondly refer to us . As well, if you are so busy, why do I keep finding you here insulting others? Hell, why does POF even let you get away with it year upon year? Least the folks who have hosted previously did so when others won't step up or choose to insult them as you have just done. I know you host the beach day in the summer and that is great but please do not knock others down for hosting other events. And never mind your slamming me back, cuz it will get filed under "G" with all of the other insults you have chosen to send my way. This chit of yours is truly getting old and you need to let it go. GFTS and Karat? Kudos for keeping everyone in the loop!

People, why against the rocking chair on the porch? Posted: 11/19/2009 4:48:35 PM
My dearest Miss Breath! Please do count me in on "sittin on the porch"! Why just last weekend I did that with a handsome fellow. The warm sun on our faces, cool drinks, wonderful conversation. Hell, who wouldn't want to take time to enjoy the good company of another! So yes, my friend, please do count me in as a porch sitter!

^^^Well pardon me for saying so Miss Startle? But even the most skilled women will find one of these men a challenge? Hell, I thought the main objective was to find just one and only one, not multiples? Just paint me stupid!

YOUR attitude about things will IMPACT very heavily on their performance Now just who was the wise woman that wrote this? lol....Ya summed that one up quite nicely girlie! OP, I would perhaps have said something to the effect, that, "ahem, I myself am probably a little rusty but am really looking forward to taking the relationship to the next level". Sounds like your fellow is the same as the rest of us, no matter what his age is. Nervous about the "first time". All this stuff I have been reading of late with respect to older men is nothing more than generalizing at its finest. I can certainly guarantee it is not the norm! lol....Don't be so tongue tied and nervous with your fellow. Relax, enjoy and gee, let nature take its course!

What a man over 45 looks for in a relationship. Posted: 11/17/2009 7:23:33 AM
Dear Mr. Funtimes? If I were you, I would not let the forums discourage me. This is after all, a very diverse medium. You point out that there are many reasons for men to date younger wimmins? Let me tell you that I have heard from a great deal of men my age and younger who date younger and they have their own issues to tolerate. Such as immaturity, gold diggers, theatrics.....Overall, what I am saying is no matter what age you date, there are issues. The key to it all, is finding someone who fits your lifestyle. Whether that is older or younger, who really cares right?

What a man over 45 looks for in a relationship. Posted: 11/17/2009 6:40:36 AM
Im naturally angry at what life has thrown my way. My husband was the best thing that ever happened to me. We lived a fairy tale the last 8 years that nobody I know has been fortunate enough to experience. Now I find myself almost 50 and totally alone. WTF? ^^Sweetie? While I am divorced and not widowed, I too have felt the above statement you just made. No matter how one cares to slice it, we need TIME to heal from life's events. I don't believe anyone is asking you to close up shop, just take care of YOU for a while until your heart mends. If you end up getting involved with someone too soon, it will only bring you grief on top of what you already are dealing with. Sorry, I don't mean to sound like some wanna be Dr. Phil, just speaking from experience is all. A man over 45? What does he look for? Same thing as we are all looking for...someone to love and share the balance of our lives with.

Nose & Ear Hair Posted: 11/15/2009 9:12:53 AM
I have to agree with Miss Breathe here. I thought the same thing she did when I read this post. To not befriend someone with earhair? Nosehair? Good Lord. Think I have seen/read it all now. So if the other person had a wonderful personality and was otherwise likeable, you would turn him/her down? Even for just a friend? Wow....shakes head

Dating someone who you`re sexually compatible but nothing more? Posted: 11/6/2009 4:39:11 AM
SCD? Basically, least the way I see it is.....If you have nothing in common other than sex, then there isn't anything more than an F buddy. This isn't even a FWB as you don't appear to have a friendship going. Don't you think to keep seeing someone, that at some point, you will wish for more than sex? What about just being friends, enjoying each other's company outside of the rumpous room? When not having sex, I think you should have common ground to have great chats? Some giggles?

OP? Is this the lady that you are ahem "dating" that is so loud your neighbours are complaining? Sorry, couldn't help myself! As MsMicki said, the gal is nothing more than a F buddy. Not much of a relationship can come from that. When the sex settles down, what do you have left? Good sex is pretty easy to obtain, a good relationship not so much!

And just maybe, maybe....some of us are not used to being treated in such a manner? Some of us have yet to experience one who actually invests an avid interest. Not controlling by any means, and I think I can relate very much to the OP'S thoughts. If we let this person in, he/she changes our lifestyles. Can we adjust? Can we gamble on losing our hearts? Can we just make the attempt again? We are all on here seeking "the one". When perhaps we think he/she has actually appeared, then we find ways of putting up road blocks. To protect our hearts, our independance. We are afraid. It is one helluva big leap. And 3 dates or not? If you are in regular contact with each other in between the dates, long phone chats where you talk about anything and everything and the time simply flies by, there is enough there to give you a direction as to where things are going. I had a lovely chat with a woman this evening Phoebe cough, wherein many things came to light. Miss Serentity darlin? He sounds like a wonderful caring man. He will understand if you tell him to move a little slower. Just that you need some adjustment time for you is all! Hope it all works out for you darlin!

This thread and the replies in it have been absolutely "hillarious"! Thanks for starting something that didn't end up being a bitter diatribe OP! OT: Sapph, who knew conditioner was a beneficial aid in shaving? I will tell my friend...snicker One time, while some gals from the office were ahem, chatting, one lady stated she thought something was wrong with her, as she appeared to see a reduction of hair in the netherlands. Apparently, this is a common occurrence in older folks? Like late 60's and over? Anyone care to comment?

Have to bring this thread back up again, as Miss Silly Goose has another question for you all! lol I was told that you needed to use the lil pie pumpkins if you were going to use them for pie filling. Is this true? Why can't I use some of the bigger ones that I already have? Is there a taste difference?

OP? You friend simply needs to decide to either work on her marriage or get out of it. This looking for affairs while being married will come to no good end. Life after 50 and single is not the end of the world. It actually was quite the opposite for me. But if she thinks for one minute that conference affairs are her answer she is gravely mistaken. Either she decides to work with her hubby at keeping the marriage or take the hit and get out of it. Seems like this gal wants to cover all her bases to avoid hurt or being single. Doesn't work that way. Least from where I sit.

Ahh but Mister Pitt? Who really knows? A man just may like the gentle voice of a mature woman reading Shakespeare at bedtime! OT: I don't really spend much time thinking about what a man looks for after 45. Truly I don't. I am me, I am who I have been for the last 51 years. I am not going to change anytime soon! This man will either love me for me or not...pretty simple if you ask me?

Need new Recipes for this Fall/Winter....... Posted: 10/28/2009 7:18:23 AM
My ex used to make something he called "chinese spaghetti". Take a pound of ground beef and fry it up with onions and celery. Use whatever spices you like...salt, pepper, garlic powder. Cook up a batch of spaghetti. Add the two together and then mix in soya sauce. My kids absolutely loved this stuff! And it is so easy to make.

Are Your Filters Set Too High? Posted: 10/22/2009 9:11:08 AM
Apparently, sometimes our filters are not high enough. I firmly believe we need an "idiot" filter! A fellow here had a not bad profile, sparse but ok except for his moniker which included the word "cum" in it. He told me he wondered why us wimmin's shied away from him since he is a very open and honest man. I tried to explain the moniker might have been a deterent for some. He promptly mailed back, telling me he used that to hide from his ex here, and that how nice it must be for me to be so "godlike". How did I live in my godlike skin? Said he would rather be intimate with a "homeless frog", than with me! I have never met a homeless frog, they are not on my company's list of charitable organizations....hmmm....something new perhaps?

I am paraphrasing /making fun of a ranting e-mail...... I am doomed........because I am over the 50 mark.... Funny you posted this Luiza. My 20 year old Son and I were at the dentist today. I told him that it would be a great place to meet young ladies. They were all cute and in great shape, as young gals of 21 are. His reply? "You have to be kidding Mom! They wouldn't look at the likes of me cuz they all want a sugar Daddy"! So for those fellows who wish to fool themselves into thinking they have found real love when they are 60 + and are dating a gal in their 20's? I say have at it ya fool! And no for the record, not bashing men here, just ones who wear them there big huge blinders! OT: If dating in your age range is setting the bar too high, then by all means, please do count me in!

What's in season? Posted: 10/14/2009 6:24:12 PM
Canning does seem to be a lost art Miss Sila! But again, as with anything, one has to like doing it I suppose. All I hear from most folks is that they don't have the time! This summer as I said earlier, I have done the pickled beets, dill pickles and just last nite finished up the apple butter done in the slow cooker. (see thread listed here). I would like to check out the apple orchard this weekend and make up some apple pie filling. Now that when done, can be put in freezer bags and frozen as opposed to canned. All one has to do is make up a pie shell! How easy for fresh tasting goodness in the middle of winter! Zucchini is also about now which can be grated and frozen. It can make a great bread or muffin! So many things to do in the summer/fall with what is a plenty! Oh, a helpful hint? Wash your cucumbers on the gentle cycle of your washing machine. Cleans them well and quickly!

OMG! All those peeled apples and all that cooking time. I ended up with 8 little jars of this stuff! This is definately a recipe that takes a lot of time in the preparation/cooking. The teen units were another issue while I was doing it. Couldn't keep them out of the stuff! Then they were disappointed that I canned it up! lol....Overall though? Would definately say it was worth it. Thanks OP!

Resources men and women bring to relationships Posted: 10/12/2009 1:49:02 PM
I am never going to buy into the premise that women do not seek out and enjoy sex just as much as men. I also don't agree that this is the most important resource that a woman brings to the relationship. Normally, I have found myself disagreeing with most of what you post, however, you are spot on in this one!

The opinions that are you reading on this forum (on most topics), are not at all typical for the rest of the population. And God for that! It would appear that when opinions clash, it is simply ok to resort to name calling. It is no wonder I am reluctant to post in these forums anymore.

OP, I am not all together sure that it was the issue of liberal vs. conservative that bothered your friend. I think it was more like the fact that politics seemed to be the only topic of conversation that her date wanted to chat about. Gals like to get to know a man, like a man to show interest by wanting/showing her he wants to get to know her. How can you do that if all you speak about is politics?

Heck, Miss Phoebe! Death need not occur for responsibility to children here in Ontario. As an example? Should I partner up with a man who has dependant children? Then we split up? Legally I can be made to pay child support over and above the support that child already receives! I have seen it done! That simply blows my mind quite honestly!The justice system here in Ontario sucks and that is putting it mildly!

Revilors, that was too cute! lol..but you are correct, tis just like back in grade school where you send a friend out to search out your "object of desire" so to speak! OP, I would do as Rev suggested and approach it. You seem like an intelligent man and I think you can figure out how to tactfully broach the subject. Nothing ventured, nothing gained right? And one telling tale of her interest? She calls you for your opinion on things. We have g/fs for that my friend.
