a week before Christmas
in my mama's house

I would have been wrapping presents
and helping her make goodies
I would have asked for clothes
and chocolate cake

I dunno
however old I was
when I first heard
what the term meant

sounds like you are also intelligent
so use it when you are online
find a nice lady that is in your age bracket
not too far from where you live
maybe someone that likes some of the things you do
do not get discouraged if this takes awhile to do
this is a process
do not limit yourself to one site
but shop around
get involved in your own community

find a lady that is comfortable with who she is as a person
and she will understand that connection you had with your wife
she will not resent it, be jealous about it
but welcome it as proof of what a warm and loving human being you are

when I first signed up for an online dating site
first started reading forums and messages
oooooooooh I was shocked daily by what I read
it's a different world boys and girls
then the one I spent the last twenty years
raising my kids in

terms in today's gender equality
in your face, say what I want
how dare you get offended world...tend to get lost
archaic some say
you must be a throw back to the dinosaur days

all of which ..may be true
a gentlewoman
is not boastful
she is true to herself
she does not pretend to be something other than what she is
she is not defined by today's standards of what is popular or the 'in'thing
she is truthful especially to herself
she is kind when kindness is what is needed
she is patient or tries to be
she is not ashamed of the part of herself that is nurturing
she has a quiet strength that is not 'in your face'
though at times, she does get angry
at the injustices she sees in the world
she has no need to waste her time and energy
in trying to convince you that you are wrong
she leads by example
she takes care of her home, her children and herself

he tends to turn his nose up at cheap catfood

Happy Birthday Pink

I would agree you see more of it in older generations
opening car doors, holding umbrella for the lady
carrying the heavy stuff so she does not have to
dropping her off at the door
picking her up
hanging up her jacket at the restaurant
asking her what she would like and then ordering
for both of when the waiter comes
standing if she stands to go use the ladies room ( powder her nose)
but..

there are some my age and older who do not do any of this
who believe that women should not be put on a pedastool
or treated any different then any of the guys they know
in fact, when I have questioned the younger men on this one
they claim that some of the girls get irritated with them
when they try to open the door for them


somewhere along the line
our young women have gotten the message
that in order to be treated like a whole person
we must now be treated like a man

saddens me...really
somehow they missed the boat on this one
that men and women are not alike
we are not replicas of one another
but are made to compliment one another

when she can walk into the bar without you

if no one takes the time to fill out their profile
or post a pic of themselves
then they are not really here to date now are they?

wow bad taste


vit D and light therapy helps many

amen. ya might want to consider the type of women you are dating

really should not be expected that the man or the woman should do all the plannning


used to 'counsel' my sister-in -law on this one..years ago

she had been married oh at least ten years
and they had no kids
she wanted to go out and do things
ya know see a play or maybe a concert, do to museums, art gallerys
so she tried to get her husband on board
and would go out and buy the tickets, make reservations at a nice restaurant
get all dressed up for date night
and he was a big ole stick in the mud about it
dragging his feet
did not acknowledge the amount of work she had put into it
did not contribute any glowing conversation during dinner
was not enthusiastic over watching the play
in short, made it a miserable evening by his attitude
she was very upset over the fact that he kept doing this


my advice? stop asking him to come along

a concept lost on many in this " please yourself' world we now live in

anyone that is only interested in their own needs and
getting them fulfilled will be unable to sustain a lasting
and loving relationship


anyone that says they are only interested in putting their partner's needs first (to the exclusion or denial of their own )will only end up with resentment, bitterness over time
which will damage the relationship

so where is the middle ground?
