sugar mommy?
Posted: 11/1/2009 6:06:16 PM
I m single almost four years. I am also finding there are some men who hope to find someone to take care of them.

Everything is out there....we just have to be vigilent and watchut for these types. Luckily your experiences have been with upfront men.

They arent exactly lying. they are telling you what they want to be.

by verbalizing their fantasy, it seems real to them.....and they hope you will buy it too.

Health issues + definitely!
Posted: 8/5/2009 6:26:36 PM
Healthy behaviors are more important to me.

If someone has had bad luck and is working with their condition, I will date them. If they refuse or are careless about their health, I wont date them.

For example, a great man I met here at POF told me right away that he was recovering from cancer of the colon, was taking his treatments and following medical advice. Without a hesitation I dated him. (other things stopped us from dating)

However, i went out with a diabetic who refused to follow healthy protocol for diabetes and I had to stop dating him. I really was crazy about him but diabetes is a slow ugly disease which can mutilate the body (and devastate it ) unless a patient is very mindful of the illness.

Police report + stalker
Posted: 8/1/2009 7:11:19 PM
I made a police report on a 72 yr old stalker. He left a message on my door which is now with the police.

While at the police station I called him and asked if he would agree to stop harrassing me. He said yes so the police have not pursued the case.

WHAT SURPRISED me is that the police officer, after hearing me nicely ask him to stop said to me " You know what your problem is? You need to be more a *itch".

Went police today about this
Posted: 7/31/2009 7:31:10 PM
..... legal definition of harassment according to Black's Law Dictionary is:
"A course of conduct directed at a specific person that causes substantial emotional distress in such person " or "words, gestures, and actions which tend to annoy, alarm and abuse (verbally) another person."

I filed a complaint with the police today after returning home last night to find a threatening and disturbing message at my front door . SIGNED and with the stalkers name and phone!

SCarey! fellow.

We had 2 dates and all was polite but he has emailed and called and NOW THIS. at the end of his drastic letter he added "Do you think we try to date?"

money a factor?---depends on the earner
Posted: 7/19/2009 5:08:34 AM
Money is a factor if the money earner is nice, wholesome, genuine and kind.

It's worthless if the earner is a sociopath, a narcissist or has any other destuctive behaviors.

money?- rough times
Posted: 7/19/2009 4:55:02 AM
"through a very rough time financially. Would this bother you?"

Rough times tell us alot about a person. Are they a survivor? The saying "When the going gets tough, the tough get going" addresses this scenario.

These are difficult times, but I 'd rather see someone who stands tall and meets the "rough times" head on (gets an extra job, returns to work, rents out rooms) than someone who lets it overcome them and they become despondent, hopeless, forlorn (pick any word).....drinks, over eats, etc

The fighter, the survivor ....... would inspire me to want to get to know more about them and what makes them like this.

The lonelies!
Posted: 7/18/2009 8:58:01 PM
Great question.

Wish I had an adequate answer.

I could not find a answer for my self so I went back to school for another degree, joined a gym and go to at least one social event a weekend.

I can't truely say this solves the problem but it does seem to soften the discomfort that comes with the lonies.

Easier or harder to experience heartbreak as we get older
Posted: 6/1/2009 7:23:03 PM
The first heart break after a long and successful marriage is very difficult.

And, it is natural to find it more difficult to heal with a living loss. With a love that has passed, he will never return but with a person who is a live and well.....there is always that hope.... though it is unrealistic to hope they will wake and see how wonderful you are.

Heart break can be made easier if you focus on what we really want.

Treat a heart break like a wound....the first day the pain is the worst. By day 2 the pain is severe discomfort but bearable. By the third day.....ah....the sunlight is beginning to look good again.

Good luck.

Is there sex after hysterectomy ? [subject edited]
Posted: 5/31/2009 12:19:48 PM
Great question.

Ask to speak to a therapist who specializes in this area. Always talk to 2 0r even 3 to be sure you find the one that best suits you.

Women successfully go through menopause w/o losing their sexual desires so I am not sure what is going on here. Maybe consult another gyn.

Good luck with this.

Insomnia- Kava?
Posted: 4/20/2009 4:26:13 PM
Insomnia is a problem for many people, especially after the age of 45.

Helpful tips or over the counter herbs or medicines:

Kava (sometimes called kava kava - liquid i think is best)
Melatonin

tylenol pm
advil pm

warm brandy

childrens liquid benadryl- you can titrate the amount needed. One teaspoon may be adequate but some people may need more. take and let it rest on the tongue a bit. this may make the absorption better , I am not sure but understand it is helpful.

Also the other tips here are good- cool bedroom, no lights, no tv, bananas, turkey, lettuce,popcorn(have tryptophane)

If anyone has anymore helpful hints , pl email me on this site. it is not blocked. THANKS

Met a nice guy who has bad teeth...
Posted: 3/21/2009 6:51:26 PM
missing teeth and chipped teeth are difficult to look at...even when the heart is good. I would be happy to pay for proper dentistry but I dont want to offend.

Perfection is NOT what I seek.

Here is what bothers me: this man would NEVER have taken me out if my teeth were in the condition his are in. He wanted attractive and wanted more perfection than I want. He made THAT very CLEAR.....simply put he was not looking only for a good heart...which i have.

Some of the mail sent to me about this has been very helpful. THANKS.

Migranes caused by workouts, diets, or what?
Posted: 3/21/2009 6:46:54 PM
as a nurse, I tell patients to be sure they are drinking adequate water or fluid intake. dont get too dry...at least 6-8 glasses of fluids every day.

Actually, I hear a certain amount of caffiene is suppose to reduced the headaches. My doc has horrific migraines, and she takes coca cola (with sugar) to help her.

I have finally, after 3 years, met someone much like myself...in many ways...but he does not care for his teeth; or not very well.

I am dentally challenged and therefore see a dentist every three months. My teeth appreciate it and so does my smile.

I am wondering how to approach this man if we get to another level. He is terrific and fit ,otherwise.

My email on POF is not blocked, no limitations, feel free to write suggestions.

I have a plan B. Thanks for asking. I will use the anchovy if needed. But i hope to learn how to ferment the fish. sounds AWFUL....but I want to try.

I am not so Kosher. My kitchen has kosher meat and chicken (easy) but some of the other ingredients do not have the K sign and some Kosher friends desire that.

Posted: 3/16/2009 6:49:06 PM
It 's probably an individual situation.

For adventure, people have to be tight...well involved and caring for each other. If its casual, i cant imagine people being too creative.

I speak to a lot of people in my travels, and those in committed realtionships seem to have the best intimacy and with the most adventure.

This is not unusual. Look this up on the internet, but most important ----go to a urologist for advice.

Also be aware that there is a condition known as retrograde ejaculation:

Ejaculation in which seminal fluid is discharged in the wrong direction, traveling up towards the bladder instead of outside the body through the urethra."

"Someone mentioned to me recently that older men (45+) are in prime position to "pick and choose"

This must change at 60 because dating has NEVER been better for me.
Maybe the pickins' get better with age? As a young woman, no one ever looked at me.

One thing...... I made up my mind 3 years ago that singlism would NOT get the better of me....... & on this subject I have read more literature than a research scientist and have NO intention of giving up. I take good care of my teeth, skin, and hair....and maybe this helps too.

If anyone wants some literature to read, helpful stuff, email me :)

Hygiene and intimacy (sexual)
Posted: 2/9/2009 1:51:47 PM
MY QUESTION IS: How many people would not tolerate an unbathed partner in their bed?

A male friend and I were discussing hygiene and sexual intimacy. He told me that he and his wife of 20 years, bath in the morning and NOT at night.....before going to bed.

I asked if they were sexual and he said "of course, including oral sex".

A full day usually includes physical activities, and using the commode.
IS WHAT HE TOLD ME STANDARD? Please comment. This sounds horrible to me.

OP - Great post.

Positive is the only way to live. Optimism feels good.

But everyone has down days. I like your spirit , i.e. the prayer of st. Francis of Assisi and the serenty prayer.

Rarely do i feel down but I carry the 23 psalm with me....just in case. :)

I did have a bad spell when a relationship of 11 1/2 yrs ended. That was tough. I read the 23 psalm often , searched the Internet for inspiration, read books about loss, forced myself to do things, stayed active, ate right, attended religious services.

Hope this is helpful.

Posted: 1/28/2009 8:45:58 PM
"How about cause of the irrelevant age restrictions placed on womens mail settings? Is actual number really that important ?"

Age is not the issue. LYING is. Deception on one level is always a pretty good gage of deception on other levels.

HOW can be build trust when the foundation has no credibility?

Would you go to a doctor for surgery knowing he lies? How about a nurse who is going to administer medications......trust her / him knowing they lie?
