Asking-a-guy, about Dating over 45, & holiday expectations
Posted: 11/23/2009 1:48:19 PM

After reading your profile, I am flabbergasted that you are so completely irrational. Get a life, (you haven't had a relationship in years) - I suppose too much time trying to live up to your parents "intellect" with all of their degrees and imagined expectations for you.
It seems like you are responding to him this way from your friends and family "approval"of him. I wonder if you had met him completely away from friends & family and had no connections to them if you would have "fallen" in "love" like this ???





^^^^ after reading YOUR profile, I am flabbergasted that you would offer
this theraputic advice.

Really?

How to tell a woman to start paying for part of the date
Posted: 11/23/2009 1:45:59 PM
I only read the original OP...not everything that came after it.
But I would say you should dump her.
You obviously don't like her if you're referring to her
as this chic. The fact she's not paying for anything is just
a sidebar and apparently you're not enough of a jock to
just talk to her about it.
It's either a match made in heaven or hell...your choice.

I just thought of something else I noticed in one of the posts.
Do guys seriously think women go out with guys they don't
fancy just for a free meal? Really? I'm sorry...can't think of
any food I like that much that would be worth that little.

What a man over 45 looks for in a relationship.

Can anyone advise on this?
Posted: 11/23/2009 1:37:23 PM
If someone is really into you and you have sex
on the first date or the second date or even the third
date you'll have a fourth date.

Why do people think that always holding out on sex
is either the reason for someone liking you or not liking
you?
If someone is really into you...it doesn't matter when you
have sex.
He obviously wasn't that into you or he met someone else...
or he was looking for someone else.

Not sure why this is so complicated for some people to
comprehend.

Women question a man over 50 and not been married?
Posted: 11/23/2009 1:16:32 PM

So why would a never married guy be interested in a DIVORCED woman? she already PROVEN she can't maintain the realtionship she vowed to hold above all else. While trite, marriage is a word written on paper, committment is in the head, heart, and character of a person. Perhaps, he may believe "marriage" encompasses much more than a ceremony, honeymoon and divorce.


I can't believe that someone actually wrote this and seriously believes it to be
true.
I guess you've not heard of husbands who cheat, or husbands who run off,
or husbands that beat their wives...or several other reasons WOMEN might
be divorced that had nothing to to with proving that she can maintain a
relationship.
This works with women also...but since you directed this towards women...
I'm only speaking to that.
Conversely, why would any woman want to marry a man who has never
been married and is therefor unable to prove that he is capable of maintaining
a relationship?

What a bunch of ignorant nimcompoopery.

Not all marriages are good and not all divorces are bad.

Asking-a-guy, about Dating over 45, & holiday expectations
Posted: 11/23/2009 12:52:06 PM
I agree with rosebuds. It's easy to get carried away when you meet
someone and you instantly connect. After you have a little apart or
down time you have a chance to rethink things and sometimes things
are a little clearer or you remind yourself you really did get carried away.
I can see where you'd be disappointed (you thought you had plans and you
were really looking forward to them) but I wouldn't jump to any conclusions
either.

See how things go...maybe your choices will be clearer after the holidays.

Just know there is no time limit or time frame on meeting someone,
feeling they are right, wanting a relationship or even falling in love.

Good luck...I wish you the best and hope things work out for both of you.

A perfect example of differences and misunderstandings in posting.
"guys" don't kiss the frogs to find their prince.
In the story women do that.
But see...maybe where you come from its different.

I think I've watched too many movies.
I think I'm pretty okei here at 50, but
I really was expecting cars that could

it was fattening but wasn't, and I was sure
we would have sent all the men to the moon
by now.

Oh, its to soon to have sex... yah, blah, blah, blaw
Posted: 11/20/2009 8:57:46 AM
If I've learned anything on this site...I've learned that
sex early into a relationship is bad bad bad.
While I don't agree with how the OP presented his topic
and I think he was a bit harsh in his delivery...I think he
had some valid points and for the most part I agree with
them.
I think sex has always been a bargaining tool when it comes
to relationships....some people are just more subtle about it.

Sorry if that last post was directed to me.
I guess I didn't see anywhere that you posted
you had told him you weren't in fact younger.
I merely suggested you say that outright.
It just seems pretty simple to me. He thinks
you think that he's older than you and I'm
thinking since you posted this thread suggesting you
have zero experience with older men that you think
that as well.
I guess the biggest misconception about communication
is that it has in fact taken place.

I'm not in a hurry.
Heck...I've got what 13 years
left? I'm going to take things
really slow and when I find someone
I'm going to go even slower.
And one day I'll wake up and
realize I'm freaking 70 and I'll
be glad I waited so long.

PS...if I never hear "instant gratification" in any
way shape or form ever again...it will be

Posted: 11/17/2009 8:40:12 AM
I understand what Igor was trying to say.
I'm surprised frankly to find out that someone 5 or 6 years older than myself would be
someone I should consider as an older man. I think small gaps like that are actually quite
larger when you are younger. I would consider someone 10-15-20 years older than me
to be an older man.
This guy is only early 50's...he actually quite young all things considered. I'm pretty
sure that we all do things differently sexually than we did when we were in our 20's.
Maybe since he thinks that you're a younger woman, he feels like he won't be able to
please you in a way that a "younger" man can.
Why not just assure him that you're seriously together in the same generation...that
he's not an "older" guy...that he's really right around your age?
Then wouldn't everything else just occur naturally?

Who the hell would look into my "history" and what would it tell you? The woman in question, I met at ANOTHER dating site!


If you click on "history" under any posters name here...you can see their last 25 posts
made on the forums.
I clicked on yours and noticed you came in on a Monday and blasted off a few vitriolic
criticisms (no I don't need to look it up) in the forums which lead me to believe you must
have had a sucky galore weekend.
So I wished you a better week.

It's all very nice to pose so lovely and tantalizing...but it's attitude and manners
that get noticed for the most part here.

Just saying.

Baffled, Hurt and I Did Give Too Much of Myself Too Early...
Posted: 11/12/2009 8:14:04 AM

I think it's possible when you're looking for someone
and you meet someone that you like, you get carried
away in the moment and the moment lasts as long as
as you can see them. Then you step away and the realization
of what happened hits you and you think maybe you
moved too fast and you realize that the attraction was
the attention and the affection that you've missed.
She's making you go away.
She'll keep doing this until one day she realizes another
10 years has passed and she'll wonder what the heck
happened.
I'm just guessing really. But I don't think you should
contact her, nor do I think you should respond to her.
The harshness with which she asks for space and asks you
to chill and the taking back of emotions that were freely
given suggests she's having second thoughts about you.
I'm sorry you were hurt.
You didn't give too much...you made the leap of faith
and she didn't catch you...it's pretty much that simple.


I rest my case.

Starting a family aged 50+
Posted: 11/5/2009 12:35:50 PM

So young parents are peppier, but may be too occupied to BE good parents. . . . Perhaps they should rethink their priorities? Are they *really* good for their children? They're impatient, know very little about the needs of other human beings, and are very arrogant about what they *think* they know. Maybe there should be a law that NO ONE should have children before the age of 35. . . .


I usually enjoy your posts, but this one was rather disappointing.
The question was starting a family at aged 50+...and the pros and cons.
Surely you are not suggesting that people who choose to start families
at a younger age are somehow less qualified? I've been around long
enough to know that not everyone that reaches the age of 50 manages
to do so with all the qualities you feel the younger people lack.

When to have a family is a personal decision. It's not right or wrong
or black and white.

But of course that is just my opinion.

I think if I told someone I loved that I had something

was "are you seeing someone else?", I'd take the clue.
I was never one for taking hints...but sometimes when
they thwap you over the head with one...you need to
take it.

Sorry but it's true.

how to slow the pace to make it real
Posted: 11/5/2009 8:13:37 AM
Well as for me...I'd love to find a man that would throw
caution to the wind and fall in like with me
as soon as he met me. I usually know upon meeting someone
whether or not I like them. If someone was making plans to
spend the rest of his life with me and I didn't like him that much,
I'd be pretty annoyed.
If however, I liked everything else about him, I honestly think I'd
go with it.
I don't seriously believe you tell someone you really like to slow
things down...I think you only do that when you're not so sure yourself.

But of course that's just my opinion.
I personally run from guys that say "I'm taking things slow", " I'm not in
a hurry" , "I'm not going to settle."
I'm 57. While I'm not likely to trip the next guy that walks by me and
demand a relationship, I'm also not likely to pass by someone that I
really like because his schedule is a little more frenzied.

But to each their own of course.

Our 15 year long relationship ends and he meets someone on here and starts a family in 9 MONTHS!
Posted: 11/5/2009 7:22:43 AM

I'm thinking more along the line of what will come of their relationship.
how does someone go from procrastinating their whole life to rushing into things in their next. i can't see it working out in the long term and am just curious what others think in that regard. how about her snagging him to have a baby? she is 41.


Sometimes when people say they aren't ready to get married or they aren't
ready to have kids...what they mean is...they aren't ready to get married to
you or have kids with you.

He found someone he was ready to have a relationship with.
I'm sorry it wasn't you...and I'm sorry you wasted so much of your
life...but it's time to move on and forget him. What happens to him from
now on really has nothing to do with you.

Love,Quality of life and who pays
Posted: 11/3/2009 12:10:54 PM

You started the thread and wanted everyone to discuss your question. If you can't suffer what you don't like, you should keep quiet and don't try to get attention from everyone. What I mentioned is from your profile and your question. Did I ask "who pays" the question to lower myself? You don't know what is low. Under your condition with your idiot question, how are you able to ask everyone to say good things to you?


People are free to post whatever thread topic they choose. There is
an opportunity for members to choose to delete any
thread. If the thread doesn't get deleted the thread comes up
for discusssion.
When someone starts a thread, they
should of course expect whatever advice/answers/criticisms etc. that come their way.
This thread has nothing at all to do with whether or not the OP is "overweighted."
It was not an idiot question, as you can see there are pages of people openly debating
and offering their opinions about the subject.

It's pretty impossible to be quiet in a forum that requires participation to work.
...and it goes without saying that ANYONE who chooses to post in these forums
gets attention because others read their posts.

Perhaps if you would check your history, you would see that it's in fact yourself
that is incredibly negative in many of your posts...but I've yet to see anyone
request that "you keep quiet"?

Love,Quality of life and who pays
Posted: 11/3/2009 11:42:26 AM
I just read the OP and not much after it.
But I think its unrealistic to think that an
older woman or one that has already been
in a relationship or one that has worked
all her life and is now retired would consider
being with someone that can't provide STABILITY
in most things. Doesn't mean he has to be rich, but
does mean he has to be able to carry his own weight.
I don't really believe there are a bunch of men out
there being by passed because women are looking for
material gains. Most woman I know have worked,
own their own houses, have their own money and
can do pretty much what they want. (and don't give me
that "they got all they have from the divorce" crappola,
because that's not been my experience either.)
It's been my observation that the men that complain
about women being "gold diggers" are men that for the
most part have nothing to offer and are offended that
a woman wouldn't see beyond their lack of stability into
their heart and soul to see the real man living there.
These are also the men that will bypass a woman for
something like looks, age or weight.
The reality is...people get by passed everyday for these things.
You're too old for someone, too fat for someone, too poor
for someone, too ugly for someone. Why worry about what
you're NOT and concern yourself about what you ARE and
look for the person that recognizes that?

Dating a couple people but not having sex at our age
Posted: 11/3/2009 7:45:18 AM
I asked my daughter about this last night. I told her how it used to be
with "dating"...when you were dating someone (at least when I was
younger) you were just dating that person...it was like going steady.
Well she tells me no one goes steady anymore. Before dating...comes
"seeing" someone. When you're "seeing" someone...that usually means
you're seeing more than one person. When you start to date...you
usually date that one person but you need to have the "exclusive" talk.
After you have the exclusive talk you're apparently in a relationship.
Jaysus...I haven't made it to "seeing" yet...I'm apparently a long way
from a relationship.

Promiscuity ~~ Pros and Cons
Posted: 11/2/2009 1:46:33 PM
Well when all is said and done...doesn't matter what anyone
else thinks.
People should do what they feel is right for them...as long
as they're not hurting anyone else.
I have noticed that older people (or maybe its just on fishes)
seem to think that sex is some sort of prize or booty...given
only to the winner of some sort of game (the rules of which
I've yet to figure out).
I find sex enjoyable...in fact I like it. Under the right
circumstances...I would have sex without a relationship.
I don't think that means I lack self respect or I'm promiscuous.
I think it just means I like having sex every once in a while.

Dating a couple people but not having sex at our age
Posted: 11/2/2009 1:11:46 PM
I honestly don't know how things became so complicated.
Dating has turned into a business, complete with job interviews,
probationary periods and lay offs. (ahahahahahaha)
I understand that dating is just that...but I've never thought
that meant dating more than one person at a time. If I meet
or see someone I like, I'm not really interested in checking out
someone else until after I see where the first "date" is going.
I don't want to constantly be looking for the next best thing.
If it appears things aren't going anywhere...I don't see the need
to hang onto the person and continue dating them...I'd just move
on.
I don't think I would like to be one of many persons someone
is dating...hoping to make it to the end without being kicked off
the island.
But that's just me.
Maybe that's why I don't want to date anymore.
It has a whole new meaning for me.

friend afraid of her age
Posted: 10/30/2009 12:11:02 PM
I'd forget most the advice given here.
If she is interested in saving the marriage...she'll insist on marriage
counseling with him.
There are worse things than being alone at 50, and that's being
stuck in a relationship that sucks the life out of you.
You can talk about green grass and talk about age and talk about
how she's lost in doubt and excuses until you're blue in the face.
You need to find out if there is something worth saving....sometimes
the grass IS greener...if only because you lighten your mind and
allow yourself AND your significant other to move on to something
you BOTH deserve.

Did I do the right thing in telling...
Posted: 10/29/2009 8:39:59 AM
I don't think it has much to do with whether or not you are exclusive.
This IS a dating site...and of course people are going to date.
But when one is starting to feel close to the other and is receiving no
vibes at all that the feelings aren't mutual (even if it's not expressed)
why wouldn't they be disappointed to find out that the
person they were into was looking
into the possibility of meeting someone else?
I don't have a problem with asking someone if they are dating someone
else....I don't even have a problem KNOWING they are dating someone
else.
I do have a problem when they say no and give me the impression that
they're dating me to see where things go.
At least be upfront with what you're doing.
If you have nothing to hide...there's no reason you can't say...yeah I'm
dating several woman right now...but nothing serious.
I thought most of us were against lying? or is it only in certain circumstances?

I think if he was in the wedding it would be pretty tacky.
But I think if they are comfortable with each other...what's
the big deal about going to a wedding together?
I wouldn't worry about the gift frankly...I would assume he
would be bringing a gift. It wouldn't even occur to me to bring
any kids...not sure why people think kids are invited to weddings
just because you are. His invite probably said ....and guest.
It's his cousins wedding...maybe they aren't that close and he's
just going because it's family...who knows?
So she gets to meet people, have a nice dinner, maybe dance...
where's the harm?

Women question a man over 50 and not been married?
Posted: 10/28/2009 12:25:43 PM
I don't get these threads at all to be honest.
It's like a big giant game we play here.
Someone starts a thread about widows/widowers...
someone has to make a comment about how
widowers/widows are better able to make a commitment...
which in turn pisses off the divorced/single people.
Someone starts a thread about never being married and someone
has to make a comment about never being married
people not only unable to commit...but now they are
somehow selfish.
Someone starts a fat thread and someone just has to say something
about all the skinny people out there.
Who the fark cares seriously about ANY of this? If you don't
like someone or you have no interest in someone because of
their status or lack of it...just move on.
I don't know how you guys do it...I would get really weary
feeling the need to defend myself all the time.
Especially to a group of strangers.

I think I need to acquire a complex...I never seem to
get this sort of mail.

But if it was a problem I would just set my filters higher.
I keep them lower because of the forums, but if I get
a message I don't like, I just delete it.

People can ask whatever they want...doesn't mean
I have to validate their requests or waste my time
trying to give them a mind bend.

I don't think it has anything at all to do with people
not putting themselves out there.
Or being afraid of taking chances.
Or because they don't believe.
I don't think it has anything to do with how we
express our love or whether or not we give
free reign to our expressions of love.
People fall in love everyday.
With the wrong people.
and people who don't love them back.
Sometimes it really is that simple.

Apparently I've been on fishes far too long.
I just assumed this thread was another to bash
unattractive women.

Lots of people have pets in their lives...it's
part of the package. If you don't like pets...move
on...where's the mystery?

why are MEN over 40 so desperate to get married??
Posted: 10/26/2009 12:47:29 PM
There was a thread why are women over 40 so desperate to
get married...I can only assume this one was started because of
that one.

I don't seriously know anyone that is "desperate" to get married...
not sure where all these over 40's are...and if there are a bunch
of over 40 men and women that are desperate...why the heck are
there so many single people?

What a bunch of nimcompoopery!

What's wrong with not NEEDING someone...but
WANTING them?

Maybe lots of women don't NEED a man...but
lots want one anyway.
Times change and sometimes our roles do as
well....
expecially as we get older.

I am I am.

I have this nagging thought though...
what if I've already had the love of
my life?

whoops.

Second (or Third or. . . ) Time Around
Posted: 10/26/2009 11:50:28 AM
I'm feeling like a freshman here.
One would think there would be
points for screwing up only once...
but it's not so.
I'd say most people are untrainable
after 40...so unless some are open
to compromise...I'm guessing a whole
bunch of people will remain single.

People seem to want what they never
had...and since they never had it...most
don't even know what the heck it is.

But that's just my opinion...what the heck
do I know...I'm here posting with you guys.
