People with no consideration of others as when you've met a guy for at least 4 times & you make plans for the next time & he disappears from the face of the earth with no explanation whatsoever - a short would do!
I apologize for the people who judge a book by its cover as in your case; of course, there is a loveable woman there also, but they won't take the time or compassion. Like someone said, keep looking, don't give up, there is someone for you somewhere, just don't settle for less than what you want.
Heck some of us are not disabled & have a hard time finding someone decent!
Just this week, I found 2 sites that you might want to look into: here they are - nolongerlonelydotcom and trueacceptancedotcom. They both are for disabled people, whereas the stigma is already taken care of. Good luck & God Bless. -Louise
Hi, I didn't introduce myself either - didn't know about the newcomers club - I'm all grown up, retired, mother of 2 grown-up boys & grandma of 1 boy, 16.
I was reading this thread & it got my interest - anyways, I realize that some of your acronyms escape me - I'm 64, so please have a heart for us "oldies" but goodies - please translate "JMO" for me. Thanks. How about coming up with a dictionary? hahaha
As for what women want.... we can give you "lists", but bottom line I think is you have to find out for yourself by getting to know women & be open to their individual needs & wants & deciding if you can work with that or not. First of all, try to be a friend, a real friend.
You're right, but in my defence, if I get a message from a younger man, how do you think I'll find out his age but to have to go to his profile, just like you will to find out about my age, etc. Ha!
I've also noticed that almost all of them are from other countries, so is that because they think they can get me with the flattery more easily, that I'm more vulnerable? Are they looking for a partner so they can come to my country to live more easily?
I don't know, but I'm not impressed & I usually just delete them; I have no time to waste on people who obviously didn't even bother reading my profile properly to find out what it is that I want in a partner, including the age range.
Sorry guys, but grow up. I've raised my family & am now looking for a partner in my age range, in my area, etc.
If I'm wrong in my thinking, please let's hear it from the guys; they're the ones with the answer; this is a dare; do we have takers?
Ok, here goes - I just had to put in my 2 cents - Lee, you have everything going for you, age, physique, good looks, yes, & I think it's time, like others have told you already, to cool it on the relationships for a while until you learn to love yourself first - then your whole appearance will attract what you want. You need to find out what it is you really want & why & go from there.
I'm 64 & I'm still looking - I've been married, didn't work! Had a 15 yr. relationship - gave up, the guy didn't want it to go further - a couple other relationships of 2 - 3 yrs, but I'm still out there.
Maybe you're too intense - could you be too needy & depend on another person to make you happy - doesn't work that way, sorry to say - make yourself happy first - try new things, all kinds, decide what's for you or not, make choices and you will grow. Love will come - you have to believe that! But don't give up, that's too easy - life is about struggle & lo0ve & peace, etc. all the good things, if you go looking for them, not the negative! Good luck to you
I love a romantic man - little surprises, here & there for no reason, a little note, pampering, say my name with love in your voice & attraction in your eyes, ahhhh, etc.- there's nothing like it, BUT I know if you're putting it on - so don't force anything - us girls see right through you!
Hi, I agree with canair about having photos on their profile. I think that it's not fair - I put myself out there for all to see - I'm honest and I can tell who's not - to me, it's a sign that either you're ashamed of your face, you're wanted, you're married, you're in another relationship.
If you can't be honest about posting a photo, how do you want me to believe the rest of what you might have to say.
Everybody knows somebody, small town or not, people will talk, so what? If you don't make a big deal out of it, they'll get tired & give up. There's nothing shameful in trying to find a partner, be it online, in a bar, etc. At least, some of the work is done online. I, like canair, agree that pics of you doing something that shows your personality or occupation, etc. are the best, but have at least 1 pic of you close-up & in focus, please.
I pass right over profiles with no pics., so there.
Yes, my comments are that a needy person will always be needy; they're like leeches - it feels like you have to peel them off.
I ended a 3 1/2 yr. relationship once because he got too needy - wanted me to "fix" him when he was "struggling" which seemed to happen every weekend (you see, his wife of 44 yrs died on a weekend 5 yrs. ago; he (said) wasn't eating unless I invited him for a meal; he would also meet with 3 different "friends" during the week and they would buy him "lunch" also ...you get the picture.
It got too suffocating, I didn't have any personal space; he knew my schedule better than I did & would knock at my door...
When you first see too much neediness, just leg go, FAST - you won't get anywhere with that kind of person, they're totally selfish!
That's my opinion and I'll stick to my story. Have a good day, y'all & Take Care.
