I have to say I agree with the previous poster, it's a really easy way to chat to the friends I've made on here...I don't have to answer it for those I don't want to talk to. And email takes so long!!

Is it a compliment to be contacted by a younger man?
Posted: 4/15/2009 7:22:51 AM
OP,
I think one of the things that may make a difference is if you contact an older woman purely for sex, i.e you won't be seen out in public with them! There are some women on here who like younger men, but that can be a dealbreaker!
So I imagine that might limit how old you'd go.
Most older women on here get their share of young men contacting them for whatever reason.
In my view, it's no compliment for a woman to be contacted solely for sex from any man, younger or older, unless, of course that's all she's looking for....

How important is it for our children to remember the holocaust
Posted: 3/9/2009 5:39:57 AM
I'm a Sociology teacher and jointly with the History department we invited into school a survivor of Auschwitz to talk to year 10 and upwards about how it was for him and how he survived. Many of the children were in tears as he described separating from his sister and never seeing her again. He is a Polish Jew and is coming back this year. An amazing man. He showed them his camp tattoo and joked it was the same number as his wife's PIN number for her credit card!
Seeing a real person who had been there made it real for them.

It is very important we all remember. IMHO

It's nothing to do with being PC. Animals like elephants, big cats etc should not be kept in capitivity and forced to perform tricks. It's inhumane.
I think the OP was stating that no animals should be kept for performance value. They should only be in capitivity for breeding purposes, especially if rare. At least that's how I read it..

womens expectations and shopping lists, OVER THE TOP
Posted: 2/21/2009 4:42:32 AM
I don't have any expectations...but I do have some "would likes".
I 'd like a man somewhere around my own age, say, ten years either way (roughly). If I found him attractive, it wouldn't matter what others thought, as long as I liked him....and who liked me too.
Then it'd be nice if he liked spending time with me and we could go out and about together, and have FUN; in and out of bed. I don't EXPECT this but it really would be lovely....

Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but I know a lot of women who want exactly the same thing, and don't have a list of unrealistic expectations. That's not to say some women don't,but then looking at the profiles, so do some men!!

Are we paying for sex ?
Posted: 12/27/2008 4:42:12 PM
You would lose your bet. As I stated before, I have no interest in a man's financial status in relation to whether or not I date him. As for my comment on paying half the bill, this was made to show that I will always pay my way and do not rate a man on how much he spends on me. This has nothing to do with being obsessive about everyone paying what they owe and I resent your insinuation that I thus exhibit cheap and tacky behaviour. I truly believe that as an adult woman my life, financial and otherwise, is my responsibility and no one elses.

Your post is full of generalisations and even as I write this I know it is a waste of time. As far as you are concerned women are only interested in what they can make from a man and nothing more. Nothing I say will change your mind or the mind of those others who think like you.

But I will say that even though you can and no doubt will, continue to think and say such things, it doesn't make them true of me and many other women.

" The truth hurts, doesn't it? "

I cannot believe there are men who really think like this! When are you going to give some credit to the women like myself who have a career, pay for themselves and their children and never took a free meal from anyone? I support myself, pay my own bills, support my children etc and I resent the constant accusations that as a woman I must automatically be a freeloader!

I pay my half of the bill on dates and feel in no way that I should be paid for. Talk about generalisation. It is not an issue for me how much a man makes. Do you men who have this attitude actually like women at all?

I'm not sure what you're talking about. The previous poster and I were discussing whether "most" women viewed men as important according to how much money they spent on them, and whether sex was then "bought" in that fashion.
I don't really get how your comment about being friends with women or finding them attractive is relevant. And no one said sex didn't matter.
Sorry if its me being obtuse here!

I think you are wrong to assume even that " most women" think this way. Some certainly do, and those you have come across may have, but that doesn't transfer to "most". However, we can agree to differ.

driven2think,

Obviously I can't speak for all women, but neither myself or any of the women I socialise with rate a man according to what he's worth financially. I am financially independent and always pay my way on a date, I wouldn't expect to be paid for.

It would seem that these women who are "gold diggers", however many there are, spoil it for those of us who aren't. As do those men who use and abuse women, however many there are, spoil it for those men who don't.

Please don't assume women are all the same!!!

The film was Shirley Valentine, I think and it was a good one! I think she went home in the end. One of the funniest scenes in the film was where he kissed her stretch marks and she was so thrilled he'd done it!

I have to agree with RuMoR, that you don't need a relationship at the moment. You need to spend time looking after yourself and dealing with the issues from your ex, before you think about getting involved with another man.

I really hope things work out for you and your children; be kind to yourself and take care.

Does Appearance Mean As Much Over 45 As It Did When You Were Young
Posted: 8/18/2008 8:52:09 AM
HnH,

You are so right. That elusive spark is the thing. And a sense of humour is vital.
It's my belief that at 45+ we should should all take care of our appearances just as we should when we're younger. A person, male or female, likes to be with someone they feel has made the effort for themselves and their partner. But it needs more than that a successful relationship...

Looking at younger women / girls.

I definitely agree with you there. I have been made to feel 48 may as well be 78 (no offence intended to anyone who is 78!) by some men on here.......! Defining people by their age alone is unfair and ill-considered.

spots of age???
Posted: 6/22/2008 8:25:03 AM
Being pale of skin with reddish hair and freckles, I find they blend in quite well! Also being in the south west of England we get a lot of rain so sun worshipping is out! Wouldn't do it anyway, I just turn a nasty shade of red!
