actually.. In my experience, any younger guys I dated, I found attractive because they were mature.... So, no, I don't think younger men need to be babysat...
I had a guy tell me once that I scared him... when I asked him why... he said..."Because you don't need me to get by"... So I thought about that and then further asked him... what did that mean exactly.... He could quite answer it, so I asked his best friend and he said that the guy was so used to women who chased after him, who were 'drama' queens, who were clingy, and needy, and the fact that I am not those things made the guy uncomfortable. I guess the bottom line is people go for what they're accustomed to, and if they meet someone who doesn't fit in that 'mold' they run to the hills...
So, Biker, honey.. it's not about YOU... it's HIS issue.
I'm so sorry to hear that honey... I know it's hard to deal with because I watched my grandma try and help grampie, and his struggle. Don't battle alone though. Go to your family doctor and if she/he doesn't give you the answers you seek, go to another and another. Is there a Mobile Crisis Team in your area? I know it doesn't seem like there's hope, but don't give up!!!
Grampie's been gone for many years now, and I agree, when I've had times of despair in my life, I only have to remind myself of the hard times I remember he went through in my life time... as well as the difficult times my mum has described he went through and how it affected her and her sisters lives...
I appreciate what you're saying LiteDesign... I agree that talking helps (for some) and crying, keeping busy... all those things are helpful... I have to bring up one point though... there are those (like my grandfather did) who do have a severe form of depression that renders them incapacitated. My grandfather suffered for years from sever bipolar depression, and when that depressed, he didn't have the inclination, desire, or ability to just take up a hobby or any other 'joyful' outlet. When that depressed, it was not as simple as that. Watching him.. I wanted to know what caused it... I was so afraid.. I'd be that way too... So I read and absorbed anything I could on depression... So I could have a glimpse of perhaps what he was going through. Grampie had loved ones all around him to whom he could talk, share time with... who loved him dearly.... When he was in his deepest depression, he could barely get dressed in the morning, let alone take up a hobby, or talk to anyone about how he was feeling. He had meds, yes, he could take, but they also made him like a zombie, drugged and tired all the time.... so he'd stop taking them, and then sink deeper down into the depths of his depression.
I like a man to be taller than me... I'm 5'5" and I prefer men who are over 5'8" (so I can wear my 2-3 inch heels)... Nothing against any men who are shorter than that.... It's just my preference.

oh that's soooooooooooooooo adorable! I think Long Distance can work as long as there's trust, and both people are very secure within themselves, and independent. I've done long distance .. me here in Nova Scotia... Him in Missouri. What broke us up 2 1/2 years ago was not the distance... It was other differences...
It's also easier now than say 15 years ago, because there's IM and Web cams, so people don't have to spend tons of money on phone bills. Yes, the travel can be expensive.....
I think the bottom line for me would be that if I'm involved in a long distance relationship with someone, then in the future of this relationship one of us is going to relocate. I'd not have any problem relocating for someone I love.
I think I've met 3 men on a dating service (not this one)and 2 definitely were not what they said in their profiles. The 3rd just wanted friends, so we met for coffee. There was no spark anyway..
I've not met anyone from this site in person, so I can't say for sure on here.
Reading or playing my piano relaxes me. I also enjoy the quiet --late at night.. The other thing that will calm me and allow me to see how blessed I am is to spend time with my best friend's daughters... They're 6 and 3 yo... What a way to spend a day! The unconditional love, the laughter, the innocence always grounds me and helps me realize that my life is good...
I agree that inner peace comes from within, and to me, living my life with honest, genuine intention is the means to that end... If I find myself in turmoil, I also find that doing something for someone else or giving back...can bring me back to that inner calmness.
