A man on a Harley is soooooo much sexier than a minivan driving soccer dad any day! Yum.

How to heal a broken heart?
Posted: 4/26/2007 6:40:56 AM
Yep time to get out and stop crying. Nothing attractive about a woman chasing a man who has said enough. Time to cut contact and work on me for awhile.

I really need to meet some new people in town. Men and women to just go to an occasional ladies night or shopping. I'm in.

Thanks for the great advice. Been a tumultous week. Right now we are not even speaking. He has admitted that he is pushing me away and it hurts. Oh well, time to stop crying to sad country music and figure out how to heal.

How to heal a broken heart?
Posted: 4/23/2007 7:48:53 AM
Thank you so much everyone for kind of letting me know I'm not the only one to ever feel this crappy. I am going to try and take the advice of dating with no expectations and just see what happens. He and I will visit and maintain the friendship that has become my lifeline for the last year and I will just try to learn to be a little more independent. It's hard because I seemed to lose all my "friends" after my divorce and find Florida to be really isolating and lonely compared to home. They say when you're not looking that's when love finds you, right?

My situation is a bit more extreeme than yours. So I hope you can put things into perspective.

Definitely did. Thanks for making me realize how what feels like my world ending really isn't and ten years from now this is going to seem like such a silly thing to be so sad over. I think it's just hard because I haven't really let myself love, had alot of walls up, etc. and he snuck under the radar with the whole "best friend" thing. I think I'm more mourning what I imagine we could have been rather than what is. Time heals I guess. Meantime, time to make some new girlfriends and try and get out and have some fun. Thanks for sharing.

Long story short: Met a guy on POF, he ended up becoming my best friend and confidant for over a year; came to realize that I was in love with him and now he's moving to Michigan for six months. So hearbroken, but not sure if I should just try to move on and date again. Never really dated much before my marriage (had a few long term relationships previously) and have no idea how to handle this. Advice from those who have loved, lost, and healed?

Why Are Men Afraid To Try New Things In Bed?
Posted: 3/9/2006 8:57:47 AM
And are there really any new things to try in bed? If so, this guy wants to try them!

I thought I tried them all! lol



There are ALWAYS new things to try. Hell, half the stuff I've done in the last year I never would have even imagined trying as a repressed, unhappily married soccermom. It's amazing when you let go of society's pre-conceived notions of what's "right" and just let your guard down and try new (and sometimes totally outrageous) things, how many of them you might end up liking........alot!

Why don't men like smart women?

AND you score big bonus points
for your use of the word "dichotomy" in a sentence

Thanks. I know I tend to use too many obscure words for alot of my friends (guess it's the English degree--makes me want to correct everyone's grammar. LOL). That's how I felt when a man used the word cognizant in a sentence. Found it weirdly sexy.

Have any of you fellow Floridians met anyone here?
Posted: 3/9/2006 7:56:19 AM
I've met quite a few men in the past year from POF and a couple of other sites. As a single woman in the suburbs surrounded by married people, I have found it a wonderful way to meet great (and some not so great) men I never would have gotten to otherwise. That being said, every dating site has a different "vibe" as to the type of people it attracts and what they are looking for. Found the men I have gone out w/from here, much more interested in a drinking buddy, friend w/ benefits, etc...That's not a complaint. During periods of the last year, that is exactly what I needed to. In my personal experience, found the men on sites like match.com, etc...that focus more on compatibility are more interested in settling down,finding a girlfriend, etc.... So maybe it's not the fish, maybe you're just fishing in the wrong pond for what you're looking for You never know what tommorrow brings.

Lookin for a cowboy to ride away with
Posted: 3/9/2006 6:38:55 AM
There are real cowgirls everywhere, you just have to know where to look. Alot of us got brainwashed and exiled to the suburbs driving minivans to the soccer field for too many years! You're right girls, no man can make you weak in the knees like a cowboy. Throw on a tight pair of wranglers, a black hat and boots, and you got heaven!

I'm not an anything dad -- never married, no kids. Nothing even remotely Stepford about me, Pam. Ever get over to the West coast?

Nope. Spent the last nine years held captive in the suburbs of Weston. Just now getting to the beach, etc. that was only 15 min away this whole time!

What does it take to get a great looking woman?
Posted: 2/23/2006 1:33:03 PM
So there is hope for us slightly-pudgy, sweet, funny, educated sorts :)

Those are the best ones. They actually enjoy your company and can carry on an articulate conversation and make you laugh.....that's how you get ANY lady.

Long or short hair which do women like more on a guy
Posted: 2/17/2006 1:24:08 PM
I seem to be the only woman here that really dislikes the whole long hair thing on men. Maybe it's from being around so many military men, but I just LOVE short hair on men....seems more manly to me.

Single or with someone?
Posted: 2/16/2006 9:36:42 AM
Unfortunately the one that compliments us or seems to be our "soul mate" may change over the years. God knows, the man I divorced wasn't the same man I married. Your wants, needs, and compatibility definitely change as you age and you figure out what is a priority for you.

[i dont waste my time talkin to people that start off going, where is this person, why cant I find this?? ]

I don't think anyone really does this in real life ( other than when you're sitting around drinking wine w/ the girls lamenting our latest depressing dating adventure ), that's what I like about these forums. Kind of gives us an insight into the male perspective and vice versa. Maybe if everyone spent more time being themselves and not trying to be what they think the other sex wants, then we would all understand and enjoy each other a hell of a lot more. Life's too short to be unhappy....that's why I'm divorced! LOL

just enjoy it, once all that negativity is gone people love you and look at you different!! Its awesome!!


Damn, wasn't trying to come off like one of those bitter, angry divorcees that seem to surround me....they really are NO fun to be around. I am genuinely curious as to how men think, since I was married for the last decade, in two major relationships prior to that and never really "dated" until now. It has been a REAL culture shock! You learn fast that times have changed and you can't believe everything you're told. I may be "book smart" but I'll admit I've been really dumb about men! Maybe I need a cute young tutor. LOL

That's because you're 26 sweetie. That's to be expected. I just hope ten years from now you might have grown to enjoy a little more than the bimbo...In the meantime, enjoy being 26 and hot...they were some of the most fun years That being said, I still enjoy an occasional 25 yr old boy bimbo too. I said I was bored, not dead.

LOL. I don't profess to be anything other than extremely understimulated mentally by very nice but boring guys that want to talk about their cars, the gym and sports. I have met some amazing and smart guys who stimulate BOTH mentally and physically, but they seem to prefer the girls who talk about shoes, shopping and silicone. I wasn't trying to sound like I think I'm smarter than anyone, just wish the one's that do seem to have an education, passion, and beliefs were more common and didn't just seem to gravitate to the Barbie dolls.

What does it take to get a great looking woman?
Posted: 2/13/2006 10:37:09 AM
A good looking man is a man with a brain, heart and the intergrity to stand by his own convictions and values. I've dated a wide variety of men since my divorce and, to be honest, the most conventionally "hot" ones, were the most boring and tended to treat women the worst. The couple of men who have really knocked my socks off and given me those butterflies were, ironically, the ones I probably would have been least likely to pick up in a bar,etc..... Sometimes a smart, funny, considerate man is way hotter than any buff bod.

Oh I wish I could leave south Florida! I know I'm overgeneralizing, but I just find 95% of the people I've encountered to be shallow, materialistic, rude, and very limited in their views. Maybe you're right, the heat fries the braincells....that would explain why we elected Bush's little brother as our Gov. Unfortunately, I stay put for now, so that my children can spend 50% of their time w/ their dad. In the meantime, just burning daylight until the next election and we start bussing some democrats back down and I have some fun new friends to hang out and debate with.

Funny you mention elections. THat seems to be the last time I felt truly "intellectually stimulated"....unfortunately I am somewhat of an anomoly....a Texas college educated, former veteran, Democrat. We are definitely a minority in this state full of Stepford sheep.

If someone is truly "smart" they shouldn't have to tell it to anyone. You're actions, beliefs and opinions should speak for themselves (man or woman). Maybe, I'm just a bit disenchanted with the dating scene because I seem to have met alot of accomplished, confident men, but all they seem to want is a shallow high maintenance barbie doll to nod and agree with anything they say. I hate feeling like you have to compromise mental stimulation in exchange for physical attraction.

Where are all the smart men in Florida??? I have to say that I have met a wide range of guys here in Florida in my year of dating since my divorce. Sweet ones, not so sweet ones, etc....but the one thing that I keep missing is a fairly intellectual and articulate guy that can rock my world and still have a heated political discussion with an informed (if somewhat opinionated ;) ) woman. Seems like all the guys down here want empty headed barbie dolls, yet then complain how the women are boring and just use them for money, etc. Well, duh...
Of course, you can still be somewhat cerebral and still get a little wild and have fun sometimes. That's the dichotomy I can't find in the dating pool down here. While I'm no ten, I haven't had problems meeting some great guys, but seems like noone wants a girl with a brain and if you have one, keep it to yourself. Is it just my limited experience thus far, or are men just turned off by an intellectual woman??
