Although I'm often approached by much younger men both on CS and real life (at least until they find out how old I am), I'd much rather be with someone closer to my age or older - simply because we have far more in common in experience, tastes - and limitations
Unfortunately men here at home want much younger women than themselves - something to do with how insecure SA men are. Seeing the posts of some of the men on this thread I'm beginning to think that I may have to immigrate to get me one of them!
Have to agree here. I have a busy life, many friends and much to do...this however, does not fill the need for that special someone in my life. So yes, I am lonely. Chatting on the CS forums gives me a sense of camaraderie (I'm not the only one in this boat) and affords me an opportunity to chat and meet some wonderful people I would not otherwise meet.
You're right I've limited my age range....can't appear either greedy or too needy. Besides if you're interested enough in getting to know someone you won't let a little thing like an age limit in preferences deter you....
I've dated men much younger, men much older, and men around my age....and have come to the conclusion that age is just a number. It's the individual that matters.
Amen to that! In general men and women are on parr in terms of intellectual intelligence but when it comes to EQ or emotional intelligence, I'm afraid we leave men far, far behind...

Benin was an incredible experience as was Morocco, but if pressed, Italy, in particular the island of Capri, was exquisite.
Bravo, well said! Men who seem to have had bad experiences with women who measure them by the size of their wallets should consider why they are attracted to such patently shallow individuals to start with... Personally, I want a man who is proud of what I have achieved instead of seeing me as his rival with whom he must compete.
As a lawyer myself, I've seen the chaos that occurs when a will is incomplete or there is no will at all. Banks do provide the facilities to assist with both drafting and safe-keeping a will but it would be best if you went to a lawyer. I have a sneaky suspicion that the Spanish law of testation differs greatly from English law. If you have assets in different countries the situation becomes even more complex. No matter what people's opinions are on lawyers, they are the ones best placed to ensure your will is valid and unambiguous - the cause of many of the problems with probate.
Such views on women are deeply cynical, generalised and bitter. I'm not sure in what circles you have been wandering in but I come from a country where women showed true nobility in the face of oppression and fought until equality was won. Any political theorist worth his salt will tell you that personal is political and vice versa. Here, we have a saying "You strike a woman, you strike a rock" - testament to the courage, strength and unshakeable nobility of women.
Relocation is always an option, but, you have to move while retaining your financial independence. Moving in with someone is always difficult, and when you are financially dependent on this person and far away from all that is familiar the difficulties are doubled.
A forlorn hope as far as maturity goes, I fear, as it has not been much in evidence so far....now patience is a different story. Age slows everything down....this may be mistaken for patience by the young.
I think there are...but you have to dig deep. My short time on CS has shown me there are some wonderful genuine people (just see the forum posts), however, there is definitely a sense of disillusioned idealism and disappointed romanticism that colours the posts. Walls have been built that need breaking down....
Absolutely! Would love to have a first date where I was completely swept off my feet and where the 'should's' and 'should-nots' were the furthest things from my mind....raw passion would make a pleasant change.
People grow apart, take each other for granted, don't communicate and a million other different reasons.....perhaps the fault is in believing that anything lasts forever...
By generalising you may well exclude someone who is perfect for you, irrespective of where she comes from. As to avoiding a breakup by pre-selecting and ticking off boxes - people are not so easily dissected nor are they, or circumstances predictable and controllable. You have to take a risk.
I'm trying to determine whether you truly identify and believe even half the things you say or whether you take pleasure in baiting others by expressing views that are intentionally provocative ..
