What woman would want to go out with an older man whose belly hangs out over his belt, who, when he hugs you, his belly is so big you can't get your arms around him, who has hair growing out of his nose, ears, and god knows where else, who walks like an 80 year old, has a double chin, etc and so forth. Why do old men not realize they have grown old too??????
This is what I don't get, men in their late 50's and in their 60's just seem to assume a woman in her 40's is their 'age group' and that she should assume she should go out with them. Why? They are old enough or nearly old enough to be her father. Really delusional. Nothing wrong with a man in his 50's, 60's or older, especially if he has taken care of himself. But why they reject women their own age and assume women 10 and 15 years younger are their dating pool is beyond me. On another thread a day or two ago, a woman said she was asked out by a man 20 years older and asked,when she declined, why were "old women" not interested in going out with old men. He was 20 years older than her!
Yes, he broke the Geneva Convention. He also invaded a soverign nation w/o declaring war first and based on giving false evidence to the Congress and our allies, beginning a war in which hundreds of thousands Iraqi civilians died. He is the equivilant of a mass murderer.
I actually think it is because they don't know how to discuss and debate in an intelligent and mutually respectful way. Mostly, all I see them doing, ever, is slinging insults. Too much watching Glen Beck and the like. They think that type of thing is political discussion. Sad.
Oh, I misread the OP. Thought it was about young men wanting older women. The old men want young women because they are shallow, for one thing. They think a woman is no longer desirable or beautiful past a certain age. These men have no idea how they themselves look and seem to think they haven't aged. A mature man wants a mature woman, sees the beauty in her. I have seen old men with young women who are far less attractive (not in shape, not taken care of themselves, not natural beauties) than an older woman, seems simply because she is younger, no other reason to be with her. I think the older men who want younger women think of it as prestige. I dated a man a couple of years older than me. He told his friends, before they met me, I was 5 years younger than I am. He had no reason to do this except he wanted them to think he was going out with a woman 7 years younger than him. What a jerk.
I do. Always. Some promises are small. Like someone telling me something in confidence and asking not to say anything. Easy. I'm not a gossip and that is an easy promise to keep. Sometimes bigger promises are harder to keep, but I am careful about what I promise, and only make a promise I know I can keep. I consider such a thing very, very important.
I think a lot of people underestimate what they can expect from their children, in the are of good behavior. With mine, I was what is called 'firm but fair.' They knew the limits and they grew up respecting me for setting them and feeling good about themselves because they were in control of themselves and respectful of others, not just their parents. They knew also they were deeply loved and I only wanted them to be the best people they could be. That's what worked for me. Not saying it is the only way to parent.
Yes, interesting. Nothing on his profile says he is already married and not looking. Says he is looking, everything about his profile says he is looking.
I loved my husband for 20 years and lost him to illness. It is the hardest thing on earth to lose someone you love this way, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. I am so glad and so greatful for the years I had with him.
Very sad. But there has to be more to it than that he left his wife for another women. The courts would not deny him his parental rights just because of that.
I think it is possible to be friend with an ex, to be comfortable as friends and not jealous or anything. So, it would not be a problem from that angle. However, the potential dates I/he would meet at the singles event might feel uncomfortable about it, so that could be a problem. So, probably better not to do it. Not sure though, never been in that situation.
Hopefully, I'd have the good sense to never get involved with someone so emotionally immature. So far haven't. And I am hoping my current partner is my last partner.
Cause they are idiots, fools, jerks, immature children, etc. How stupid some people are. Not only is she playing a game with her husband, she is dragging you into it too. What a pathetic loser.
I think it would be very difficult. But, some people seem to manage. Different strokes for different folks. Eventually, being together in one city/town would be, imo, the goal and the only way someone could have a ltr. Hard to imagine a ltr when you are living in different regions of the world or country.
Something simple, like lunch or a coffee. A quiet place where you can talk. If you enjoy talking, that can be followed by a walk in the park, if one is near. Something with no pressure, something with a quick and easy retreat if necessary.
Define "meaning." What makes human beings so meaningful? We are the only ones who feel we are "meaningful." If we were gone, the Earth would have its own meaning, irrelevant to us.
