Portland Or. Singles Gathering Posted: 10/23/2009 11:52:39 PM
Anyone interested in getting together for an Oregon or Oregon State games? Maybe a sports bar or somewhere they have food and of course, show the games.

What kind of cell phone do you use? Do you consider it a reflection on the type of person you are? Posted: 10/23/2009 11:46:46 PM
I had a Blackberry for a couple of years then finally broke down and got an iPhone and I love it. It's a great source of entertainment.

would you date a guy who doesn't believe in education-content with his job Posted: 10/22/2009 11:28:14 PM
Education doesn't matter to me but wanting to learn does. People who ask and absorb and are self taught impress me more than those who have a degree.

What do you think of a peron committing suicide over a broken heart?? Posted: 10/22/2009 11:25:11 PM
Never. It hurts so bad - broken hearts but my motto is 'as long as it's tolerable'. Wait it through. When I was in my 20's someone told me never to kill myself over money or love. Simple but true. Hang in there all those who are suffering.

Hi all, Michelle here. I've been on this site for a while but have kept a low profile. I am 62 but I'm not old nor do I act old. I enjoy people of all ages, traveling (anyone interested in going on a vaca?), spectator sports and sight seeing and most of all laughing. Have fun gang. There are a lot of good people on this site.

I've never contacted a man in a dating site or at least I don't remember doing it. Usually, I like to know that someone is interested in me before getting to know them. So, that's a no from me.

Losing it to a prostitute? Posted: 10/21/2009 10:33:19 PM
I don't know. I mean, he's 22 - not that young and if this is what he wants... I don't mean to be real casual about this but I think a pro would make sure that he wore protection, take precautions so no STD's could be transmitted and bottom line, if that's what he wants...well, Happy Birthday!

I really want to take a holiday too. I did a Rick Steves tour of Italy, 17 days, and it was wonderful but frenetic. If you still want a travel partner contact me. I'm in your age range and I need to get out of town! Michelle, Portland OR

Bruce, I agree with so much of what you say in your post and I am, going to someday, go to a nudist facility...hopefully someday soon. It's been suggested to me a lot lately, we have a great hot springs/spa facility near Portland, and I think that would be a fun, enjoyable and liberating experience for me.

Traveling Alone? Posted: 8/19/2009 1:32:40 PM
I do a good amount of traveling and I've found that I like going with someone is much better for me that traveling alone. I get lost easily! I do...so, I like someone to 'guide' me, I'm more adventuresome when I am traveling with someone but bottom line is that if I want to go somewhere, and there is no one to go with, I'll go alone. I want to see too many places to let being alone on my travels, stop me.

Yes, that's the deal...with gravity and time taking it's wear and tear on my body I am self conscious about being naked, but I do work out, diet and do what I can to keep as fit as I can, so I'm trying very hard to not be so hard on myself and my body...and forever trying to lose that 5-7lbs!

Proper ladies don`t go out alone! Posted: 5/31/2009 11:05:21 PM
I love the title of this thread. So 19oo's. I go most everywhere alone but I do have a hard time going to a bar alone. Restaurants are fine but a bar, now that I don't drink, is just uncomfortable for me. I've gone to watch sporting events - I'm a big sports fan but other than that, I do need a friend to accompany me to a bar...but I'm working on the courage to go alone.

NBA Playoffs Posted: 5/30/2009 12:07:59 PM
Boy, I agree - reluctantly, with lovely on this. I really wanted Denver to win and possibly have a Nuggets/Cav's playoffs, but it looks like we're going with the predictable Lakers/Orlando (well, Orlando is a surprise but not the team I want) playoffs. Go Magic??? Maybe Cav's will bring it tonight? Nah, it's just not going to happen.

I would love to see it come down to the Lakers (Fisher and Gasol, being my fav's on that team) and Cleveland but the Cavs just aren't going to pull it out, in spite of last nights victory. So, go whoever plays the Lakers because, above all, I do not want the Lakers to win another championship!

Stern. Your picture looks stern and yet you look like you're the mischievous kind. I'd do a new photo - one that's a bit more inviting. I like most of what you wrote and you're an articulate, well educated man. That's a huge plus in my book. Just take more pictures.

I like your profile. It seems friendly, open and fun. The only thing that bothers me is lack of caps in your paragraphs and for occupation, 'clerk' is a bit vague, but maybe I'm being overly picky because, again, I liked your profile.

Hostile. That's the 2nd thing that came to mind when I read your profile. When I first opened it, I wanted to like you - there's something a bit mysterious about you, in an interesting way, but then I guess your 'humor' is it? turned me off.

I think some are being rather harsh on your profile. I think you're just being you. The only real criticism that I have is the 2nd photo in, is too 'little girlish' and could bring the wrong kind of person your way. Also, maybe it's just you and me but it's been a bit slow here lately. Maybe it's time for me to review my profile?! Good luck to you.

NBA Playoffs Posted: 5/24/2009 1:16:11 PM
I totally dislike Kobe and I don't like the Lakers...but I do like some of the Lakers, Gasol and Fisher are probably my favorites. I also like Phil Jackson, in spite of the fact he hates the Blazers...I think he hates us because we're a real threat down the road! ;-) I do not want this to come down to a Lakers/Orlando playoff. Whom to pull for? I don't like either team. Come on Cav's and LeBron, we need more miracle plays from you! Either way...love the playoffs!

Going on a vacation by yourself? Good or Bad idea? Posted: 1/26/2009 11:17:45 PM
I posted earlier that I don't mind traveling alone but then I had all kinds of people tell me it wasn't safe. This put me off for a while until I realized that I really want to see Sorrento and the Amalfi coast, so I booked a beautiful hotel in Sorrento, made my air reservations and I'm off to Italy, again, in May - and trying not to listen to all those negative people who tell me it's not a good idea. I can't wait!

I like it. I like traveling with someone else too but if I want to go somewhere and no one is available to go with me, I go alone. I'm really thinking about going to the Amalafi coast this spring or summer on my own.

When Are You Too Old to Date? Posted: 11/8/2008 11:19:58 PM
I've dated most of my adult life - since I was only married a couple of years, and I honestly don't think we're or I will be too old to date. It's fun and good to be with the opposite sex. Keeps us healthy and alive.

I do think of past loves but I also believe that they are in the past because that's where they belong. I've tried to go back several times and it's never turned out well. That doesn't mean I wouldn't try it again, but I don't think it's the best idea.

I am very independent and never think twice about traveling alone, dining alone, going downtown or to a movie alone. If I want to do something and no one is available then I do it alone. It's archaic to think or wonder what others think of why women do things on their own. It really surprises me that this is even a discussion.

But you don't sound happy. Being with someone does not make for happiness always. I would rather be alone and happy or unhappy than be with someone and be unhappy. Make any sense? The pseudo intellectuals - oh I don't know.

I'll not only be fine with being single for the rest of my life, but I actually don't foresee getting married again. I do love men though and hope to have a couple of relationships up until my time here is over. If I do find a LTR, I won't run, but I'm not seeking that. What would bother me is thinking I'd never ever dating, flirting or spending time with the opposite sex...

Controlled Emotions Posted: 11/6/2008 1:54:44 PM
And I agree with you. I've dated several guys with whom I have/had great chemistry and when that happens I do my best to savor the moment. The realities will come - but why wall yourself off, our of fear of being hurt? We've all survived hurt, and while it's no fun, we go on - so when the fun and elated feelings come around, I enjoy it as much as I can.

I agree that gray is aging as is dark-almost black hair. I like having highlights/lowlights put into mine. I waited until about 3-4 years ago to see a colorist, but I'm totally glad I did. It makes me feel a lot better and I get tons of compliments too...so it's noticed, in a good way!

Do women over 45 feel nervous about the first sexual encounter? Posted: 11/6/2008 1:37:36 PM
I thought most every woman has body image issues but after reading some of these posts I see a lot of women who are happy with their bodies and I applaud them. I'm concerned about my body-and I work out and look pretty ok, good but still...I do thnk about it a lot. If I didn't, I wouldn't be working out! My last encounter - not that long ago, was so complimentary and effusive about my body that it really boosted my confidence.

approaching women in public Posted: 11/6/2008 1:31:43 PM
WalMart? Ok, I'm kidding and I think they are so many missed opportunities in these kinds of places. I get frustrated when I go to Home Depot, see men looking at me - in what seems to be an interested manner, they're not wearing a ring, and then..just nothing. I get a bit shy in those circumstances so I don't always approach men, when this happens - but I do try to make myself do it. So far, nothing has come of that though.

I haven't dated a lot, in the last couple of years, either. Life just got in the way. And while I did date sporadically, I don't understand why men find this odd either. I like men, like to be with men but don't need a man in my life to make me complete and that concept seems to totally elude some guys.

Worst clothes to wear on a first date... Posted: 11/6/2008 1:24:46 PM
I like capri's and have sporty ones and even a pair of dress capris that I wore to a Broadway show in NY. I know how to dress well - and capri's are a great in between from pants or shorts, on a hot / warm summer evening. You can dress them up or down, depending on accessories and choice of tops. I'm more about good grooming than I am about the clothing - but of course, that would include wearing clean clothes, too.

redicoulously too long? Posted: 9/28/2008 10:42:40 PM
No, I don't think anyone likes it when someone corrects them but it only takes a minute or two to review your written word. That incorrect spelling or bad, really bad grammar just maybe the one thing that makse Mr. Right or Ms Right, turn away. If you can't spell the word, avoid the word. redicoulously = ridiculously which could have been better said as - Is this too long? I know...you hate me now. It's ok.

What is it with 50+ women and wanting to stay single??? Posted: 9/28/2008 10:33:57 PM
I never really ever wanted to get married which seemed to make men want to propose to me. Maybe the fact that I wasn't interested - made them interested? I did try marriage about 7 years ago, for about 3 years...and it was the most confusing time of my life. I love men as friends, and as partners, but not as husbands. I am and will be monogamous in a relationship, but don't push me to marry you. Not going to happen.

That's a shame that you got scammed. If a guy from a dating site asked me for money, I wouldn't give it to him. No way...and I'd never see him again either. I'm really firm on that.

My bottom line on this...if you're not comfortable with this - let it go. You sound like you want more than she wants. That's no fun. There really are no rules of dating and if you've been out of the loop for a while...well, that's ok. The rules are the same. If you like and connect with someone you want to be with them, whether it be in person, on the phone or in text. Good Luck!

How would sudden wealth change your dating style. Posted: 8/9/2008 12:42:47 PM
I'd be incredibly cautious. I am already and no where near 'Gates' wealthy. It is very difficult to know what peoples intentions are and I'm afraid that that part of having money-the dating part, would be inhibiting for me.

Not married by 30, will it happen, ever? Posted: 8/9/2008 12:39:38 PM
Don't worry about it. I never really wanted to get married and turned down quite a few proposals and then for some unknown reason, I did get married when I was well over 40. It was fun for a while but then we divorced. Marriage just doesn't seem to be for me but I love men... I never let anyone's opinion on my marriage wants, sway me. That's personal and it doesn't matter what anyone thinks. If you try to hard to find 'Mz Right', it might not happen. Just relax, ignore your parents concerns and see what happens!
