Net Dating vs OLD STYLE

i was talking to a gal on here and told her i thought i might post my thoughts on a blog...so i am doing just thatprofessor

in the old days...60s,70s,80s.. i dated the old way...you saw a girl in public..got to know her a little and then asked her out..it usually took several dates to find out if you liked each other..mostly because going out..to movies,show,dancing,plays, whatever, gave you little chance to sit quiet and talk /get to know one another..
in that respect this net dating is kind of nice as you get to spend a lot of time on here getting to know someone..
my experiance ..and i do not get on the net all the time..just get on now and then..started in 08..
is that, at least for me has been ... that the women i have met on here do not tell the truth..they lie..reinvent themselves...make believe..misrepresent themselves...so that when you meet them in real time..they are nothing like what you think they should be..and you are a lot more trusting and accepting than you should be..i would think the men are a lot the same... wow
it does tend to make you ignore those red flags.. as you think you really know this person..can get you into a lot of trouble and cost a lot of $$$$$rolling on the floor laughing i have yet to meet anyone who looks like there picture or /and who is what they have projected..maybe they are just all delusionalrolling on the floor laughing
what has been your experiance..??dancing

OLD AGE AND LOVE

JUST GOT IN FROM SEEING DUSTIN HOFFMAN IN "LAST CHANCE HARVEY" GOOD FLICK... COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE DEEPER..DUG MORE INTO THE PROBLEMS OF AGING..AND LOSS OF IDENTITY..LOSING WORK TO YOUNGER KIDS.. DISTANCE FROM FAMILY..LACK OF COMPANIONSHIP.INTERACTION WITH PARENTS.... BUT IT DID NOT ..BUT IT WAS STILL GOOD...

THE GAL IN THE MOVIE MADE ME THINK OF THE WOMEN I MEET ON HERE..THEY ALL WANT TO DABBLE..PLAY ..BUT NOT GET INTO A RELATIONSHIP..DONT WANT TO GET HURT AGAIN..TRUST AGAIN.. I WONDER WHY THE MEN ARE WILLING TO RISK IT AGAIN..BUT NOT THE WOMEN..

MEN HAVE TO GO OUT ON A LIMB..ALL THE TIME...MAKE THE FIRST CONTACT..ASK HER OUT.. MAKE THE FIRST MOVE.. TOWARD A PHYSICAL RELTIONSHIP..WE TAKE ALL THE RISK OF REJECTION ALL OF THE TIME.. AND KEEP BOUNCING BACK FOR MORE..

MAYBE AT HEART ...MEN ARE MORE POSITIVE..MAYBE THEY DREAM MORE..BELIEVE IN FINDING THAT POT OF GOLD...MAYBE ITS THE LITTLE BOY IN THEM THAT NEVER QUITE GROWS UP ..OR GIVES UP....confused

THE MOVIE HAD NO GREAT LOVE SCENES..BUT MANY TENDER MOMENTS.. AND I THINK ..THAT WAS NICE...IT MOVED SLOW.. QUIET ..COMFORTABLE.. SERENE... INTIMATE..IN THAT IT EVOLVES..IN LOOKS AND GLANCES..GESTURES..RATHER THAN THE HOT PASSION OF YOUTHbouquet

WAS A GOOD FILM..WORTH THE $$$sad flower

AND A NICE REMINDER THAT ...AFTER ALL LOVE MAY BE ..JUST AROUND THE CORNORteddybear heart beating kiss

SUNDAY ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH

MORNING ALL...
its another day in paradise..banana
the peaks are snow covered from the last two days..but its crystal clear and sunny today..was going to drive over to the flats in new mexico..if it was windy..but now i think i will go to the lake..cannot decide if i want to take the bike or the truck..will have to see..

sometimes i look at all i have ..and wonder how i got here..its not what i thought would happen..or where i would be.. course i dont look like me either.. dancing doh

i wonder if any of you old farts out there feel like i do..confused

i look in the mirror and i have no idea of who that is looking back...big old nasty fat man???dancing

were did that husky good looking young guy go to????...it was only yesterday ..it was 1968 and life was just really getting going.. free and young and full of piss and vinegar..
i quit going out on new years...a long time ago..they always review the different folks that had died..and i found all my heros..were drifiting away..there are none left now.. i dont think there are many to look up to now.. at least i dont see them..

i still think i am 35..still do most of the things i enjoyed then..well not the night clubbing and drinking and fighting..and chasing gals every night..city lights.. they can set you adrift in the wrong seas...


i look in the mirror
and what do i see.
its not me???
but someone else...
looking back.
a stranger .
a face i thought i would never
see....
cool

have a great day... i know i will....peace

CHEMISTRY AND /OR DO WE CONNECT??

I have come to hate those two words...back in my dating days..70s/80s.. it was is she hot???.. do you think she is attractive?? and that was it...
When i got out of high school '68" ..IF .. you worked hard.. you were reasonably clean..bathed regular..put the seat down on the tolietblushing came home after work ..did not stop at the bar with your single buddies before going home ..beer did not beat the little lady..the kids or your dog...you were a keeper!!! if you did not smoke or drink ..bonus points...
and what is this about chemistry??? i know bad..chemistry..good..volitle..mixed... its all chemistry..what does that have to do with two people liking each other.. ???????
i have decided i am tired of women telling me what fun they have with me..how they feel safe with me..they enjoy my company.. i am a nice guy.i make them feel good....but ..they cannt see me anymore because there is no connection ???frustrated or chemistryvery mad so what the very mad h--l is that all about sounds like a load of c--p to me... personally i think its a way out for women..dancing you know men are shallow...banana women are not...confused so they could never get away with just saying..i really like you ..but am not attracted..your just too fat!!!dancing applause cheering guess then women would have to admit..that yes virgina..women like men are very shallow indeed!!!!!yay dancing cool

BREAKING UP

A new twist on a way to frequent subject...frustrated
lets see...well .......i started dating the year i got out of high school..and tried to go out every nite that i could..up until the year i got married (87-88) divorced in (91-92)..met a gal a few years later..by accident and we were together until 5 years ago...
so no real dates since (87)...doh two relationships..one short one long.. confused so what is this blog about???

i am confused about this new net dating..breaking up ..the whole thing.. i have been on this site..since a year ago..before that yahoo..and then match... in all that time ( 3 years) up till december of last year.. 4 coffee dates... couple of hours out of the day ..after spending hours on the phone and on the netdoh poor return for your investment??? yah think???

then
i meet a gal i really like in december..i am on here twice a day..for a couple of months.. then two weekends we spend together..its great..i think i have found the lady i am looking forbanana dancing cool then last week it all comes crashing down..she is not interested and to be fair.she never told me she was.. never said she wanted a relationship.. but i was flying high ..i felt 16 all over again and that my friends is a stretch.. now today she pulled herself from my facebook..and i would assume i am blocked on here.. (havent tried).. and am told to not contact her.. dunno
dating has become so tough!!frustrated you spend so much time on the net or the phone to try to meet someone.. then they have a quick cup of coffee or a couple of dates and then boom!!! with the click of mouse you are history.. rolling on the floor laughing mumbling devil i think the whole thing stinks..i seldom run into any women i find interesting..that are not dating or married..or way younger than me..so the net was my only option..unless i want to go on expedtions to the city on weekend to find a gal???rolling on the floor laughing think i could stuff one in the truck??? yay cheers
well i just am venting..dont drink so cannot sit on a bar stool and cry in my beer..i feel like hell..and right now i hate all womendevil frustrated i have had a week to hurt and feel bad but had hoped she would change her mind.. if folks have a mutal agreeement to split its one thing.. but when its just one side.. somebody pays the piper..and its me .. and i am tired of paying.. so .........hey guys...i hope you all have better luck than i.. it hurts like hell to get dumped...blues

GROWING OLD

rolling on the floor laughing
GROWING OLD...
we are living longer in this country ..average is about 76.. but are we living better???...the majoriety of seniors...over (50 )folks!!!..like it or not..if your over 50 you have lived 66% of your projected life span.. so your not young..face lifts.tummy tucks...trips to the gym..knee replacements..hips..bypass surgery.. heart transplants..all are driving our society into debt..our social security and insurance was never ment to cover this quest for perpetual youth.. and it seems to do little to forstall..the final descent into old age..dancing

i for one am finding this a hard road to travel.. i work..hard and long hours.. 12 hour shifts up for 18 and turn around and do it again..doh its hard to find someone to share your life with at my age..you are not a viable entity anymore..women are not looking at you as a provider ...a potential father.. a protector.. at my age (59) your more of a liability ..ready to drop at any given moment..older women seem to be done with men.. have had their failed relationships.. suffered and once free of the yoke..tend to not want to go back..and they tend to socialize in female groups..men do not.. i seem to know a lot of older guy and they are like me..alone..work and work..and little else..unless they are active with their children... the fear of a stroke..heart attack..of waking up one morning and not knowing who or where you aredunno these fears have made me angry...about growing old..as my body fails me.. and i find socially i am unwanted.. my last attempt at finding a soulmate ended with .. you want to much in a relationship..your not active enough..your to fat..your health is not to good.. your to sedentary..you not finacially secure.. you make less than i.. all things that alas were true..but things i thought i could change ...in time.. but ..time was not to be given...
with that in mine

BOOKENDS

i sit ...and stare...
you feed me...bathe me,
wipe my face..comb my hair.
move me from ..place to place.

i am a bookend ..not a matched set.
moved from here to there.. at others will.
nothing of vaule..but hard to replace.
cracked and mended..old and broken.
one of a kind..but out of place.
what do we do ..when we become......

CHANGES

well you were right..
i have had two weeks to think about this.. since you broke up with me.. 3 weeks since i saw you last..

i was going to go back to my hermatiage..and my ways.. quit trying.. still think i will do that..confused

however you were right about depression..and exercise..i am doing more..you would be pleased..

walk on the treadmill..only 5 minutes a day so far..but went to the river yesterday..and the lake..and believe it or not..bought the first fishing lic. i have had since the 60s..and two poles..dancing rolling on the floor laughing going out in the garage today see if i can find my old gear..
down 7 pounds..so far..
the fat man cometh and goeth rolling on the floor laughing banana or so one would hope..
but these changes are for me..but credit where due..you were the catalyst..still spend all my time alone in the hills..but more active.. not sitting reading ,listening to music..watching tv.. getting out more.. applause cheering banana
i had hope to explore life ..and what it has to offer with you ..and to make whatever chanages needed to happen ...with you ... but i am never one to ignore..good advice.. just slow to act sometimes..confused dunno


CHANGE..
i would have given you the earth..sun..moon and stars...
but it would not have mattered
if you did not
want them..

i would have tried to change to adjust ,metamorphosed.
but it would not have mattered
because i would still be
after all
me

LATE NITE BLUES

its late..at least for me.. after midnight..hard to go to sleep.. harder yet.. to know ..its over..no longer will we have contact.. write..talk..see each other..no more wonderfull weekends.. yes ..i know there were only two...i had plans for many more..a spring and summer full..and then even more..bouquet


the emptiness that comes with
loss..
its hard to fill
leaves a void.. to deep to bridge..
time had started to heal ..to mend the abyss..

i thought i had healed enough to join the fray
to withstand the assult
on selfesteem.. selfdoubt..selfconfidence.
i find i still am a fragile vessel.. to easy
to damage..to quick to emerge..

MEMORIES OF A ROSE

memories..
they serve you well
or
do they??
are they just our minds manupulations of
past events,
that we arrange to please ourselves??

or

are they time and space
frozen.
set aside for us to view again.
to fill a void ...heal a wound.
a place to find happiness lost.
memories of pleasure and good times,
found once a time ago...
lost in the past.
now only in ....
memories...

BLOGS

new on here.
i wonder ???
just a place to chat??
someplace to vent...??
maybe somone will listen..
perhaps some respond.
some advice...
critisim ???
constructive or destructive??

some when hurt..
retire to caves...
others to hermitages...
high in the hills...

does that serve to keep
the bad outside..from whats left of the
good???

or the bad left inside ..from what is good..
outside???

does it serve you to grow ..
or to
shrink ..shrivel and die
within????

and when released.. what to
do ???

when your spread wings are
clipped in
flight????teddybear

WORDS

morningbeer

hi all...just a thought....had a conntact on the net today..they wanted someone with integrity..honesty..insight...
think about it..i did..
we use words to describe what we want.. in relationships..connect..chemistry..what do they really mean those two words????
back to the other

integrity really means a person who is complete..whole..unimpaired..sound..honest..

honest..sincere..genuine

insight...ability to see and understand the inner nature of things ...intution

so by her request.. she wants a person who is true to their own being...and that covers a lot of ground.. a bigot..racist..extremist..terroirst.. they all are true their own being.. with integrity.honesty and insight...
interesting ..at least to me..its no wonder we as people are not able to communicate.. we need to take time to find out what each others word really mean ...and what we are really after...
connect...chemistry .. attraction...what do they really mean...what is it you really want.....
doh dancing yay dancing cool yay
