Other people's Comments
Everyone makes comments on other people's blogs. We don't always agree or disagree on the subject matter, so we make a comment. Well this morning, a blogger who wrote a blog, deleted me because I didn't agree with him. WOW!!!! What a temper. He needs to grow up and smell the roses! This guy always tries to come across as a "mister nice guy". This hasn't happened to me since when I first came on CS a few yrs ago.
IMO, if you don't want a negative comment to your blog; then only write positive stuff! Hellllllo!

When we put our minds to it, we can take stupid to an art form.

were women mistaken/men ignorant/society misinformed?
Listening to many TedX seminars on YouTube, I am starting to hear a common theme going on with women and their lack of o*gasm during sex. All of these seminars I listened to so far were given by women with a professional background in sex therapy. One of them make a claim that 90% of men achieved o*gasm during sex where women were less than half of that.
Another female sex professional claims that a small percentage of women achieve o*gasm with penal penetration. When she told one of her patients that, the patient was shocked....saying something like "oh, so there is nothing wrong with me."
Another female professional talks about how society has stereotyped sex and it is solely to do with penetration....for countless time. Today, things are changing when it comes to women's sexuality and there is a lot yet that has yet to be understood about it. But, sex done correctly with a woman, she can o*gasm as frequently as a man. It is said that she is primarily stimulated by the cl*t.
In addition, women lose their feeling of being h*rny when in a long term relationship. They claim that is completely normal. One professional compared it to going to the gym. Most people don't have this innate desire to go to the gym, but once they are there and doing their workout, their body feels great and the workout is very rewarding. She says, the same can be said with a woman's sex drive in a long term relationship. A long term relationship, she says, is about 6 months to a year....or longer.
With all that being said....these women claim that many women have come to them for their professional help with sex. Many women did not even know their own bodies and how it operated.
Now, to my question about....were women mistaken/men ignorant/society misinformed?
Did/do women hold men responsible...or....do women loath men when they can clearly see he achieved o*gasm and she did not. Perhaps...loathing to the point of feeling she is being mistreated? Perhaps loathing to the point to seeking an extra marital partner or a divorce?
The grass is only greener until the woman starts getting bored and discovered that new guy is not doing it for me either....what up with that? she might think??
Perhaps...that is why women like men who have a lot of experience with many women. Perhaps these men know about the significance of the cl*t...and how to stimulate it correctly? Or....that is why women like other women?
Again, I am just a dumb a** here.....I don't know anything. That is why I am asking.

Finding a date is hard - so I am giving up.
Ever since I was 16, I have been looking for someone to date. I have been on a few dates, but nothing ever came out of it.
After I turned 18, I met K for the first time. It was new and exciting, and I did feel an attraction to her, so when she asked me to visit her, I said yes. We spent a few hours watching movies in her bed. She was the first person I ever kissed. Yes, I kissed K waaaaaay back in the day, when we first met. The following day she wrote me and said what happened was a mistake, and that it would not happen again.
I have always been a respectful person, so I didn't throw a tantrum or anything. I let it go and went about my life.
A year later, I met someone on a website, and we got to talking. She lived a few miles south of me, so we decided to meet up for a weekend. I visited her to begin with, and I admit that things went by pretty fast. She was the second person I kissed - and more than kissed.
I broke it off when she told me that she was dating someone the entire time. I felt really used by this, so I decided to stop looking for dates or love for a few years.
The first date I went on was back when I was 23. It was with a woman who had a difficult time walking properly, which didn't bother me at all. We went to dinner, and we spent a few hours talking over our meal. I had a great time, and I hoped to get a second date. A few days later she wrote me and said she wasn't ready for a relationship, so I wouldn't get a second date. Three days later, she was in a relationship with someone, so she straight up lied to me. I called her out on it, and someone else said that she had told him the same story.
Was I disappointed? Of course. I don't appreciate being lied to, so I blocked all communication and went on with my life.
A few years later, I turned 30. I met someone online. We got to talking, and she asked me if I wanted to visit her for a weekend. I said yes, so I packed a bag, bought a bus ticket, and off I went. This time, I made sure to ask if she was single or dating someone else. Yes, she was single, and no, she was not dating someone else. That made me feel a lot better, so I jumped head first into what turned into a three week romance. She had recently split from her ex, so she needed something else to think about.
Three weekends with intimate moments, but it never developed into full intercourse. Something told me that she wasn't completely over her ex yet, so I took it slow.
My suspicions were confirmed, when she, out of the blue, told me that she was getting back with her ex again, and that she didn't want to see me again. That one hurt, because I had hoped that this would be the one. That it would be the person I was going to start a relationship with.
A year later, I was off to Scotland, where I met a lot of women, but nothing developed into anything other than a friendship. I did kiss someone at the company Christmas party, but we were both drunk, and we both agreed that nothing would develop.
Fast forward to 2018, when I met R. If I had taken a different approach to certain things that she did when we first met in person, who knows what would have happened there. Her and I could be dating. It's hard to say.
We're now in 2023, and I am having a hard time meeting someone new. So I'm giving up - at least for now.
Maybe dating just isn't for me?

I have lived in the south almost two years, now.
I have not been asked on a date the whole time I have been here.one guy asked my daughter if I was single but I did not want another "alcoholic" in my life. He never asked me...but, I assumed in the South, men were more friendly....could be wrong....hmmm. Not really lonely- I am comfortable with being by myself. I think it's definitely harder to date after fifty.
7 Reasons Matchmaking Is Better Than Online Dating
That's right. I've had it with online dating. When I get to Ireland I am going to sign up with a local matchmaker to find my significant other. I've researched it and it looks like the best way to go.
Here’s 7 reasons offline matchmaking is better than online dating. With matchmaking we’re talking about a personalized service where a professional matchmaker helps you meet someone special. Online dating refers to online membership dating sites like Match.com.
1. You only meet singles who are serious about a long-term relationship
With matchmaking it’s certain you’ll only meet people seeking a long-term relationship. People who pay for matchmaking service are serious about finding love. You won’t find anyone who’s looking for a casual fling, who has little or no intention of entering a long-term relationship.
2. Most of work done for you
With matchmaking you’re paying for a premium service. Your professional matchmaker helps you find compatible singles that live near you. This means you don’t have to go trawling through online dating profiles searching for potential matches. You don’t have to prepare your profile. Effectively you provide your details and preferences and the matchmaker finds you compatible dates with relationship-minded people in your area.
3. Guaranteed introductions
When using a professional matchmaker you can expect guaranteed introductions. This means you can be sure you will meet singles who are interested in dating you. In contrast you may not meet anyone that’s compatible or worth pursuing on online dating sites. Even worse, you might get duped by liars, cheaters and phonies.
4. No fake or misleading profiles
With matchmaking there are no fake or misleading dating profiles. People who use the services of a matchmaker are screened to verify the accuracy of their details. In most cases the matchmaker is preparing the profile. They understand that being authentic and real is the foundation for a relationship that lasts.
5. Insider info on dates
Your matchmaker doubles as your personal dating coach. The big bonus here is that you get insider information on your date before the date. Your matchmaker usually has met your date in person and can pass on important information you’d never get from a profile. Your matchmaker can help you to prepare for your date and give solid advice on what to do and what not to do. Using their experience they can offer a range of recommendations to help you get the best result.
6. Honest date feedback
With a matchmaking service you can expect timely objective feedback on your dates. And you get honest feedback after the date. The matchmaker usually knows the person you are dating and plays the role as date facilitator. This gives you a clear answer on whether to continue dating or move on. You can’t get this feedback on online dating sites, you’re always guessing.
7. Much faster, much less time from you
Matchmaking is much more time efficient. You are paying for someone to do the work for you. You don’t have to spend time creating and finessing your profile. You don’t have to send multiple emails and chat with heaps of people, many whom just waste your time. All you have to do is get setup and make yourself available for dates. Matchmaking typically works faster because you’ve hired someone who is paid to get results, they guarantee introductions and must fulfill on this obligation.

Are you selling yourselves?
Few days ago I wrote a blog on CS profiles ..whether to believe it or no ....
One particular comment was very interesting would like to share it with you all
"A persons profile is like any form of presentation, a way of "selling" themselves to those that read it."
