Hi Angil07, As the two of you have already met you have got the hardest part out of the way. All you have to do now is to get to know each other. From what you've said he sounds as though he is interested in you, so just take it as it comes, don't push too hard, just be yourself don't try to be anything else, it's early days yet, you don't have to know everything, do everything right away. If things are meant to work for the two of you they will, use some of that famous female intuition, follow your heart but think with your head. I hope this helps a bit, i'm no expert just an average man. Good luck. P.S. Always consider your safety first and foremost, at least until you know him better.

1. Don't be ugly

2. Don't get fat

3. Don't act like a man or a bitter Feminist

1,2,3. Voila, love! But I suppose this simplicity is the problem. If only there was a way to hamsterise this advice into something palatable to the female ego.

Seen as you are both conservative, and when you meet again, I think if its going to happen it will, naturally, without you even noticing. It will all fall into place.heart wings

As we get older.. men suddenly develop a taste for overweight and masculine with a face like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle?

Desirable men of any age do NOT want the above, trust.

Funny isn't it... as people get older.. they tend to change shape and weight.. however.. there are those who much prefer to stay solidly comfortable in the same size clothes that they wore 40 yrs previously.


But... and there is a But...


Some people who feel Oh so very comfortable with each other.. partners.. who love their tucker... who love to spoil each other with chocies and drink... there is naught wrong with that...

That is communication and sharing...

and not for me or anyone else to be unkind.. in thought , word or deed. grin

I would suggest you keep what goes on with the two of you private and not discuss the relationship on CS.

If the day comes that the two of you decide to make it a longterm relationship then make a big announcement and the peeps will be very happy for you.

But for now, if you want to stay in the forums to debate subjects then I don't see a problem with that, but whatever you do, don't let the cat out of the bag who he is. That would be a sure way to lose him unless he wants it announced.

I would keep pretty much of your relationship off cs.I wouldn't even say who he is that is if he happens to be a member here.


I do say things about my guy on here but they have no idea who he is cause besides I met him on a non-dating site.

The less you share about you two the better off you'll both be.


If somewhere down the rode that you wish to make an announcement I would also pretty much keep that to a low roar.

Rumple4skin: From a late 19th Century booklet named “Woman’s Own Book of Toilet Secrets”. The page describes the “dimensions of a perfect woman.”

'The dimensions of a perfect woman are: Five feet 5 inches in height, weight 128 pounds. Arms extended should measure from tip of middle finger to tip of middle finger just 5 feet 5 inches (the height). The length of her hand should be a tenth of that, her foot a seventh, the diameter of her chest a fifth. From her thighs to the ground she should measure just the same as from her thighs to the top of her head. The knee should come exactly midway between the thigh and the heel. The distance from the elbow to the middle finger should be the same as from the elbow to middle of the chest. From the top of the head to the chin should be just the length of the foot, and the same distance between the chin and the arm-pits. A woman of this height should measure 24 inches around the waist, 34 about the bust, if measured under the arms, and 43 if measured over them. The upper arm should measure 13 inches; the wrist 6 inches. The calf of the leg should measure 14½ inches; the thigh 25; the ankle 8.'

For your information, her perfect dimensions are BMI 21.3 and waist-hip ratio(estimating based on chest measurement)0.70 on the dot.

Sounds like the perfect woman of the early 21st Century, too... The majority of Humanity is attracted to a healthy weight and body shape. Humanity is NOT attracted to lard arses, understand?

Facial attractiveness is also objectively definable, symmetery and proportion being primary.

As for the skinny women, the modern phenemonen of rake-like women starving themselves is occuring because of women's natural competitiveness with other women. Men don't like the anorexic look, this is their own delusion.



WoW!! you just described me laugh

What's strong about being lazy, unhealthy and burdening your fellow man by becoming overweight? I have neither the self-discipline to manage my diet or the willpower to exercise properly - come and admire my heroic strength!

Anyway, being an ugly, fat and manlike woman makes someone falling in love with you a much bigger IF.

Hey Grumples. If I were a perfect, gorgeous, desirable, healthy, 25 year old woman, and sitting across the table from you on a first, second, or third date, and you started spouting this stuff, it would matter naught to me how "desirable" and right you think you are on a subject.

A woman is looking for so much more than: a symmetrical face, your BMI number, and how hale and hearty you believe yourself to be. That won't keep the desirable near you for long Grumples. Wonder if this a factor in high divorce rates...too focused on exterior checklists.

some people have medical reasons for their weight--

not everyone was born looking like barbie--

a woman being "strong" does not make her manlike...really? IMHO if a man thinks so, then he has a masculine problem and only wants to surround himself with a skinny, dingbat that can't think for herself

So then, please tell me...

What do you think it is then that draws men of all ages to a 52 year old woman who doesn't fit all nicely and compactly into your checklist?

I think you need to take a step back and manage those expectations of yours. Take a breath and let things unfold naturally. Putting a bunch of pressure on this situation will be a disaster. Just enjoy and let it go where its going to go naturally. I wish you good luck! wine
