HotBohdi: During my teens, twenties, & thirties I dated a bit, and had a few relationships (the most recent for 23 years). During all those years the women were open and more than a little aggressive. In fact, actually going on a date usually happened after intimacy (which they initiated). Today, these same women (age 50+ now) hesitate to sit across the table for coffee & a chat. And when they do accede to this, it's for a 99 question indepth interview - which they don't "expect" anyone to truly pass. What happened while I was away from the dating scene???
When selecting a new house or new car, most people would insist that these precious items pass some kind of rigorous 99 question test.
While we can't compare objects to people, way too many of us throw out such due diligence when it comes to selecting a partner. Why is that?

bungallow55: Yes, now those 50+ women wants 30- men.
We'll take your HOW's - Hot Older Woman/HOW did that happen - and some of the cougars so that nerdy, underconfident young men can still sleep with women.
But you really got to reign in on these older women, some of the sights you see around town of an evening are enough to make your eyes bleed, and as a young Man I hold older Gents as entirely responsible.
HotBohdi: Well, blonde one, I;ve met with exactly 6 women for coffee. They were distinctly different types of people, yet they all came with their unwritten list of requirements. And they all lacked even an ounce of openness, acceptance, or readiness for love!
Perhaps they were just after free coffee? As for openness, maybe they had something to hide?
Kaybee50: We're not complicated at all. We are so easy to please in fact. Just...
Take us to a musical rather than the football game. Clean the windows and fold the laundry. Hold our purse while we are in the fitting room. Assure us that NOTHING makes our derriere look "ample". Let us keep the t.v. buttons. Watch sappy flick chicks with us. Stay away from us, completely away from us, for 3 to 5 days each month. Cuddle, spoil, and cater to us 3 of 5 days each month.
Kaybee50: Medium rare please, with a side of green beans topped with caramelized onions, a fresh salad of spring greens, and creme caramel to top it off.
I'll have to get out my recipe books and get to work. Do you want chocolate with that?

I have had some rotten boyfriends. So, now I have to practically give them a polygraph test before I am willing to speak to them.
Kaybee50: We all have different personalities. C'est le Difference. Not everyone is like you. That's what dating is about...to learn about commanities, differences, and whether you both wish to continue dating. More times than not, one or the other does not wish to continue. If you truly like a woman, and she isn't immediately open, go at her pace. I assure you, it could be worth the effort.
youretheboss: It's the form letter with a list of selection criteria that I resent.
Years ago, I read a Dear Abby column where a guy was talking about a woman he met that literally had a very long written questionaire that every prospective date was required to fill out. I'm sure I dcn't need to tell you what Abby's response was!

and the older we get the harder the questions
poor rumple still fearing his demise in old age. true some men don't car for older women - others crush on us madly....not all older women are all that interested in younger men either but some are. it's a matter of personal preferences so protracted and constant your insults directed at older women just bring out the scared boy that you are. and I believe your continued relentless gender bashing also breaks forum rule. report report

Really? Huh...Im 51 I date a lot and Ive never in my whole life been intimate with someone BEFORE I dated them. Ive never even slept with someone on a FIRST date...I think you need to meet some different women
What an hilarious thread, great job HotBohdi! I have to say, some really do think they're Gods gift to men, doesn't take much to figure out why you're on a singles site, ladies, and for how long
Good luck, HotBohdi, and stay away from these old hags!
I can understand a woman wanting to ask a number of questions and hoping for real honesty. Why not get through this part first on a phone conversation before actually going on a date?

If my guy expected of me what I think you're asking of the women then I would've never had anymore to do with him.

langleygirl: Maybe stop having coffee dates? Plan something fun wherein you are busy with an activity which takes away the pressure and "interview" like atmosphere .......... been there, had that, and truly its not a lot of fun.
As for the expectation that you have from the past - leave them at the door and enjoy the experience of simply getting to know someone. If you don't get to any base - who cares? That isn't what its about in the least and truly if that's how you gauge the success of a date, then you are doing these women a favor but not seeing them anymore.
