Man 64 yr-old man seeking woman, 18-35
I wrote to him:
Hi, wanting to meet your daughter or granddaughter???
Don't you think that is ridiculous. But if you wish so, each to their own. My beautiful granddaughter is too old for you.
He answered:
Not sure you should be here sending rude messages to others, an old woman like you should know better, maybe it's you shortage of education
(I am 75) and have no intention wanting to meet a 64yr who wants an 18-35
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

It Should Work — Theoretically ???
I TOOK IT FROM "American Journal of Public Health" 
JUST SOUNDS SCAAAAARY LOL
Marriage Is Good for Men (But Not for Women), Research Found
Benefits of marriage to men's healthFor a long time scientists believed that marriage provided health benefits to both women and men. However, a recent research of 10,000 people in UK has found that married women didn’t show profound health benefits, as compared to single ladies, while married men were healthier than the ones living on their own.
Scientists from 3 London academic institutions (School of Economics and Political Science, School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and University College) joined their forces to analyse and record effects of long term partnerships and marriage on people’s health in middle age.
The main characteristics considered in the study were the metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes) and respiratory deceases. To provide comparable data, a cohort of men and women born in the same week of 1958 was selected. Trained nurses visited their homes and performed detailed examinations.
Results:
Single women showed similar levels of health as their married counterparts.
Men in both official and de-facto marriages demonstrated better health than unattached males.
Divorce had some short-term detrimental effects on men’s health but it would improve if they entered another partnership. In general, males who re-partnered after a divorce would demonstrate about the same level of health as the ones who lived with the same partner since marrying in their 20s or 30s.
Surprisingly, the effects of divorce on women were the opposite. Ladies showed an improvement in their health levels following divorce in mid to late 20s, with 31% less chance to develop the metabolic syndrome as compared to wives in stable relationships.
In general, health levels of both genders would decline with age, with married women who never divorced showing the best levels of health. Differences in married and unmarried women were not profound, however, not having a long-term partner had proven to be significantly disadvantageous for men. For example, single men were 14% more likely to develop heart problems.
The conclusion: Men are better off married.
For women, having a long-term partner is not crucial in view of their health — although we know that sharing life with someone special is more enjoyable than living alone.
Another research in 2011 found that married people had 15% less chance of premature death, while 2014 study by the World Heath Organization pointed out that married people had fewer problems with depression.
Here is another reason for you, guys, to take it in your hands and change your life for the better: You will live a healthier (and hopefully, longer) life!

Female back sides.
How should they be quantified and measured? Kilo's? inches? score out of ten? maybe a simple yes/no?
I'm just so confused about it and I dont know who to turn to for support.

Why did she do this to me? I know, I am a succor
I met a girl online from the Philippines as I was going through a divorce here in Denver. I thought someone overseas would be great to get away and build a future with. I thought, wow, we are both separated and we are in the same boat. She had 2 sons and separated for 6 years. Well I fell in love with her. A couple months later I found out there is no divorce in the Philippines. So I go meet her in person for a week. But I could not visit her home because of her ex family. Then 3 months later I found out she was lying to me. She has 4 sons and only separated 1 year. I found out through pictures in her family's facebook page. Then she admitted to me this. I accepted her apology. A month ago I started working 2 and 3 jobs to pay for her annulment. But i was getting bad vibes from her. I found out through a complete stranger to me who knows my ex girlfriend that she was on a dating site. I asked her and she said it was an old site and she was checking messages from a long time ago. I made a profile on the site to check on her. To my amazement she was on 2 times this past month. Yeah I gave this "poor" girl monthly support for her and her sons. Yes I bought this "poor" girl a phone. Yes I am stupid. I just need to vent. I learned. I had never looked overseas before in social media. I guess I got over my divorce haha. But my ex wife and I are still good friends, just not any love. Thanks yall
NO PROFILE PIC FUSTRATEING WHY HIDE ?
Why Do So Many Women On Here , have no profile picture how can you get attracted to a poor drawing .
Everything You Always Wanted And Less.
My search labeled “True,” when I use criteria that is honest with myself, has always come up with zero matches. ZERO. This startles me. It provides empirical evidence to support the long dreaded conclusion, year-after-year, that there is no match suited to me. I do not know but maybe you have tried the same thing as I have: plugging in search criteria you know appeals to you but finding your search results are better when you fill in as many “Any” answers to search as possible. This type of search does not make me feel good because I know I am not deriving the best value from the search technology I can, and, in settling to slake the momentary need, I feel I betray myself. I do not need a computerized matchmaker to help me settle. Your mileage how you might feel about all this may vary, of course.
My search has had zero results for years here, and for much longer in my real life. I am happy to be alone but I do not expect to be alone. I would rather share my life with the right person. Steel sharpens steel so, being alone, I miss being sharpened, more defined, and more refined – yet being with someone with whom I am incompatible is frustrating. If you have ever been stuck in an incompatible relationship, you know what I mean: it is better, at least more honest, to be alone.
And a whole industry on dating websites targets people unhappy to remain alone, who are desperate to find someone for validation. AshleyMadison comes to mind: men talking to other men (it turns out), unhappily married to their choice of partner, trying to find a mistress. I can only imagine the women must be as unhappy with their husbands. Profiles here, too, are baited hooks for the clever to extort money from the lonely not unlike a kind of cerebral or emotional prostitution. Profiles of blond and blue-eyed Californians identifying as “Native Americans” are always a laugh as are the profiles with poor English - easily picked up by a native speaker. If loneliness or desire is willing to forego such signs, then the sharp mind can pick up cold reading techniques in letters that are long but manage to say nothing unless it is to parrot back the needs of the lonely and desperate: here I am, all that you want me to be, and nothing for myself.
I was going to reprint one such letter I received and critique it: the strong opening that lays the foundation for future demands of financial assistance; the flip-flop statements that jig the line for the fish to bite; the contradictions between description and photo, the poor standard English from people born in an English-speaking country… It is quite a list. But I realize the space of a blog post is to limited for such a literary critique. Such a letter to me is disheartening to read as it was meant for me and, yet, not meant for me.
It is shocking how transparent it is; how wise I am to see it for what it is; and yet how alone I continue to be. It wearies me.
