I am all for one being only as good as their partner...but in this instance i would turn down all the enthusiastic young lovers i've had for just one smooth older man!
I don't know what that situation feels like, and i can only imagine...and i'm sorry hug:
I have yet to go to my family's for dinner tonight....and i'm not looking forward to it...its when they get to huddle around me and pet me and feel sorry that i have "no husband" and i'm so strong to keep going for my kids etc etc....
I know they mean well...but i really hate the "pity party"....I don't want to be constantly reminded of my state of affairs....my children are fine..and i am happy and content with the decisions i have made...I just want them to accept my life the way it is....
Its unfortunate that this has been what you think are the "lonely" years...
I did not really start to "live" until i turned 40
Becoming a single mom in my mid thirties to now is EXACTLY what i needed for that "chance to be me"! It taught me how to reach inside me and find qualities about myself that i didn't even know existed...
Yes the job/kids ratio has been devastating at times to my career choices...but i perservered...because children get older...and what i taught my girls in the interim was priceless....that i didn't need a man in my life to be successful...a partner in my life now is someone i share my joys with, and have "me" time with...and they recognize that for what it is...they are the ones now encouraging me to "socialize"... (btw they are 10 and 13, so its not to say that i still don't have my share of parenting headaches!)
Enjoy your time with your children...they grow so fast....be grateful your "ex" left when he did...so that you can really have a "life"...your other option would have been to wake up one morning realize you are 80 years old, your life has passed you by with this man that was not worth your efforts....and there is no way to back peddle and fix that!
I love older men...bald men or men with gray hair...especially in their beard or goatee....
I had straight hair until i had two major surgeries back to back in which i had to cut my hair right down to a buzz cut...when it grew back in it grew in curly....the doctor says from the trauma
I dye (yes dye!) my hair blond because it hides the gray!
..." I believe underwear should be worn as its meant to be worn...UNDER the clothes and that people who sag their pants (so half their undies are showing deserve big wedgies!"...
Wow!! I'm simply amazed at the "little" things people leave out of their profile...that means so much!
After reading them...everyone on here seemed so much more "normal" and approachable....
I was really beginning to grow weary of the "sunset beaches", long walks, cuddling...i mean those things are great too...but its nice to know that some people love their cars, their pets....in general their life...and they are very accomplished!
Funny thing is i started this thread....but have never had it in me to let that person know how awesome i think he is...and that i would have loved the opportunity to get to know him better....
Guess i'll be one of those that are no further ahead in the new year huh....
Tried to revise my profile today...2000 words is not alot if you have things that need to be said...
So I thought that we could use this thread to add a few things we may not have gotten to say in our profile....things that others should really know about you...
For me:
I don't swim in lakes...that is where fish go to the bathroom and do other naughty things....
I don't think athletic wear should be made out of velour...
Baseball caps should not be considered a fashion accessory...
Pinching and pulling hair should be an acceptable form of self-defense in a bar room brawl....
When you are drunk, please let only the original author of that song sing it....
Men and Women alike will always be grateful to Dr.'s Gerow and Cronin for inventing the silicone breast implant....
The concern of these men that women should have an antidote to fight the laws of gravity, and the injustice of our "creator" (that they did not get the correct size appropriate for their bodies....)...well lets just say it brings a tear to my eye...its so very touching....
Just wondering if men get concerned about their balls getting saggy as they get older and if there is any known implant for them to "retract" them somehow?
This is a very very genuine question...I assure you!
I am disappointed when i meet someone who i've had great conversations with on the phone or msn...just to find that there is no "romantic" interest there....
I'm also disappointed when they realize that i'm just a "normal" woman looking for all the things the "girl next door" is looking for...and not being their "fantasy" for the night (you know until the right one comes along)
I have learned the hard way to come right out and say whether or not this "relationship" is going to go anywhere or not....I am not into avoiding my phone or dodging people on my msn...
RE: Do Older Men Better Lovers ?
Well i didn't want anyone to have visuals of some decrepid old man...thats not what i meant....
