HJFinAZ: CRAP!!!!!!!! No she is wanting us to turn back to the Catholic faith and die.......

Dawn7z: What?
I am not Catholic but I see a lot of fearful people on some of these threads tonight. I am in the same boat as everyone else maybe I have even met a few more people than some.
I am not religious and have no desire to see anything but people hookup on here and be happy instead we are focusing on how crappy we all are and how we should be afraid.

In the last year I spent a lot of time being hurt and hurting others in a romantic sense and fell for someone that is would never work out with am still in love with them but I am not sorry I opened my heart up at all.

HJFinAZ: Kidding my dear, kidding...

Dawn7z: I know you are but look at the threads tonight
So many people lonely and down on themselves. I know that you are being a brat Pat you always are.

HJFinAZ: Me?? Sweet, innocent, obedient me a brat??

It is all a matter of perception. I do see us (any of us) as being down on ourselves, I see it as opening their hearts and really being honest..

Hell, at our ages, we all have some baggage. I think it is about what we do with that baggage..

But, being old and senile, what do I know..

Dawn7z: Good point as always maybe I am transferring my own sadness this evening onto others but reading some of the comments and people's sorrows hurts. Sometimes empathy is not a desired trait as you get frustrated when there is nothing you can do and there is no quick fix in life.
You are a wise man Pat.

mylifewithu: But being down on ourselves is part of our healing process. Just don't let it get to you.

HJFinAZ: I was trying to find the lyrics to the song "Don't cry, Be happy"..

Old & senile.....

mylifewithu: Are you sure that's the title , I tried to find it, all I got was muppet songs

gozoman2: >>>>>>>>> takes over mike......

One life. That's all we've got. It is a journey we might as well enjoy, since we have no other choice.

What is the point of restricting our very own soul for someone else's whims and desires?

Travel the route of discovery together yes.....

but leave my desires unfulfilled for the sake of following someone else's......NO.

Whatever the journey may bring along my path....but it is mine...

to life.

pretzelman: Many have wondered why I am on a dating site, if I am not looking for a partner. I have asked myself the same question.

Although I present myself as a mean old man, there is a reason. I mean other than the fact that I am a mean old man. I am scared of relationships.

People say they want honesty...so here it is!!

When I say scared, I don't mean scared for me. I am scared for the other possible mate. I run them off(yes, believe it or not, a few have expressed interest) more to protect them from me.

But here are a few of my fears in relation to relationships.

First, and foremost is money. So self respecting woman wants a guy with no money. Now, don't tell that lie about money means nothing to you!! You'll get coal in your stocking for that!!

Health issues. I have a lot. Too much to burden any woman with. Let it go at that.

Fear of losing my independence. I like being free

Possessions...I have none. And I do mean none! No house, no car, no nothin'

Last but, not least...the physical aspect. Although many women say looks and outward appearance mean nothing, remember that coal I talked about in the beginning of this post??? Be honest,,,you wouldn't date Quasimoto!!!

I stand back and look at me, a 58 year old man. And I think, if I were a woman, would I want to get involved with this man??
A resounding....HELL NO!

So do any of you give yourself an inventory to see why a person should want you as a partner??? Or do you only see good in yourselves and believe a person is crazy not to want you??Serious answers, please. I want to hear about YOU, not what I think of myself. Do YOU do an honest assessment of yourself?

O.K>...now I will shut my "mangina"

HJFinAZ: MAybe those are just some of the words in the song..

Us senile old guys should be in bed by now..

mylifewithu: Thankyou for sharing your story so we can see heartbreak has nothing to do with income or lack of confidence. We don't know what is in some one else's heart, we trust them to be telling us the truth. And we get pulled into the heartbreak cause of their reasons. But if it was love for them they couldn't hurt us. It would hurt them more, he would work his butt off to make it work, somehow. Just as we who are inlove would.
