John, is it because we're asking for too much? Are we being too picky and those who read our "wish list," walk away knowing they don't fit the criteria? I'm thinking that's probably what it is.
I've set the bar high but, damn it, I'm not going to "settle" for just anyone and be miserable two months into the relationship! I WANT IT ALL!!
You're right! There IS a lot to be said for the young blood in here but I'd rather date someone who knows who the he// Perry Como is!! AND......enjoys someone like Jon Bon_Jovi like "I" do!
BND and CIN...I didn't see your posts prior to Ships, but thanks for posting!
At least I'm getting some insight to my question. Lots of younger men prefer older women and there's nothing wrong with it. Personally, I cannot imagine myself involved with anyone who's young enough to be my son! Just plain can't do it! (don't throw tomatoes at me!! )
Ship...thank you for posting! You might be right about these sites being geared to those in their 20's, 30's and 40's. Anyone over 50 seems to get lost in the shuffle.
I DO think you have to "think" young to keep up with most of the topics! Maybe THAT'S why there's only a few of us mature posters here.
Again, thanks for your input. Have a great day. Okay..I'm NOW going to get my butt in gear!
hot-T....I think you're right! They're "intimidated" in some way.
Oh well...I'm off to make breakfast, get showered, dressed, and do a for things around the house. I'll check back later to see if ANYONE has posted an answer to this mystifying question!
Why is it that I looked at 41 pages of men who are possible candidates for my age group and yet there are only 5 or 6 "mature" men posting here? I want to know WHY they're not posting! Most of them are most likely retired and able to post. Are they intimidated in any way? Do they not like the topics? (THAT could be fixed if they'd post their OWN topics.) Are they lazy? Are they REALLY not interested in meeting someone?
Okay...I'm curious and hope to get a few responses. I just don't get it!
Sarah, I just noticed the first post here was dated July 6th or something like that. I THINK this is an old topic that was pulled out from somewhere and I'm pretty sure you're still posting. I hope so anyway! ((((hugs))))) Hate to see anyone having to leave because of being stalked by an idiot!
Hey...nice to see you hot_T. Welcome to the land of fun-loving people (as well as one or two who aren't!!)
RICK....keep forgetting to tell you how much nicer your new profile pic is! You have an awesome smile and ALL your profile pics should show it off! WHY were you hiding that smile??
Jag, I have to admit I also received a few flowers from much younger men and I was very flattered. They're sweet men and IF I could relate to the "older woman/younger man" thing, I'd have been REALLY impressed. I thanked them and told them I was waiting for someone almost on the other side of the dirt!
For SURE...it means a lot to have a place you can come to chat with friends. They don't have to be lovers or boyfriends or significant others! You'll enjoy it here.
Thanks Shy! I can only laugh about what I can't do anymore but hey... if I COULD do it??? Not a doubt in my mind! ALL NIGHT LONG!!! JUST LET ME HEAR YA SAY IT....ALL NIGHT LONG!!
JAG....I forgot to say welcome and if nothing else, you'll enjoy posting and chatting with some great people here. They're all fun, many are sooo cute and so witty. It's a great place to chat!
Welcome BND!! Do you have a Dad as cute as you who might be single???? We NEED more older men here for the few "mature" women like myself!! Okay? Thanks.
Good luck and I know you'll have fun with all these gorgeous women! They're gonna love you!
Maybe HERE in this "International Forum" there could be choices for "Eastern half of U.S." or "Western Half," etc....to narrow it down to REGIONS rather than states. That might attract a few more singles willing to jump in and chat.
WOW! Isn't that amazing? I still think a lot of it has to do with being shy or not outgoing! Men, oddly enough, are shy despite their macho mannerisms.
WHERE HAVE ALL THE MACHO MEN GONE WHO AREN'T SHY?????
I'm beginning to think that old saying "there's safety in numbers" is true. By posting in your state's forum, you're putting yourself out there for everyone to see with no place to hide. Many people aren't secure enough in their own skin to post topics or respond to them. Ya think?
I just checked both Profiles and it COULD BE a match. She's tall, but he's taller. She's very well educated and HE'S a hard worker. They're both close in age and it could definitely work...as long as he's okay with her smoking. Men usually ARE okay with it. Vice-Versa is a little more difficult because most women don't care for guys who smoke.
COOOOL BEANS!!! Let's hope it's another match made in heaven!!
WHY IS IT???
Cher....what's the name of the topic and I'll look for it!
