Topic: Why is it so hard for a older women | |
---|---|
I couldn't find love because I am old and unattractive. Sucks but such is life. Well this isn't what this Calgary guy thinks Guess you are the exception. And you two haven't met because why?????? Probably because we aren't very compatible. His idea of biking is motorized while mine is cycling. I don't think he would be up to cycling 50 kms with me. Doesn't seem the type. LOL Do you belong to a Cyling group? Nope; I just cycle on my own or with my best friend. I am just very active with cycling, hiking, weight lifting, and kick boxing. I am also still very active with the two military bands; one I play in and the other I teach. I found trying to be with a man that is not as active as me doesn't work. Two people can have a relationship with out changing eachothers life styles. I believe older people learn to enjoy what time they share together & the time they are apart. The key to older relationships. As for looks, your pics are wonderful & the kick boxing sounds interesting. Stay as you are & go with the flow, never know what might happen. OPINION I agree. They way I figure it I would rather have quality time rather than quantity time with someone. |

OPINION I have to add that I tried being with men that have a less active lifestyle and we never got along. They always wanted me home watching tv with them and I am not a couch sitting tv watcher. I am always out and about; then they get jealous as they think I am with someone else because I am not with them. Anyways; this has been my experience. |

Good that you don't make their problem, YOUR problem. Shouldn't care what you want to do as long as you come back to them. Control is NOT part of a REAL RELATIONSHIP. Acceptance & TRUST are what really matters. Really wish you could get away to the TEXAS thing. Bet the chatting with the ladies would be a GREAT HELP. |

I think that most woman "our" age have a hard time finding someone because they don't put themselves "out there". You are not going to find the "love of your life" sitting at home watching TV and knitting. It seems that most women are afraid to venture out anywhere alone. And I don't mean hanging out in bars. They spend their time with the same small group of friends, shy from making even casual contact with anyone they don't know, and then wonder why they don't meet people. Yikes guilty as charged. But it is kind of hard to know who is really interested and who is just looking for something on the side. I find I assume most men my age are married or living with someone. I wish the single guys were a little more visable in the Real world. lol Wear Mingle2 caps lol |

Go slow & do your diligance, you can sort out the fakes. |

INTENTION = RESULTS 62 is just around the corner, still do what ever I want & "giving up" has never been contemplated. Get Sinatra singing, "MY WAY". Make it your MANTRA. |

Most men do not prefer women who are large. the majority of women are overweight, Check 100 photos of women from 45 to 55 and see that 80% or more are over 30 pounds overweight. Women hiding behind poor photos and euphemisms ( a few extra pounds,and average) do both themselves and potential mates a disservice. As a male i am not cognizant of how the men fare in the misrepresentation of weight, age and looks but i suspect it would be significant... Being more honest in how one presents oneself ultimately leads to better results. Its quite sad to meet a gal whose photos appear to be very slim only to meet a gal who weighs more than i do at 185 and yes i have met several of these gals who only claimed to be a few extra pounds.. defenses aside more accurate self descriptions will result in better matches and reduce unnecessary disaaaapointments from more glaring errors in judgement. Spoken only with kindness and honesty so please set aside your delusions of righteousness and find the SENSA...

Spoken only with kindness and honesty so please set aside your delusions of righteousness and find the SENSA... Vivian is right that it is true for both sexes. The only difference is I would accept a man that was overweight; just as long as he is active. As for weight; I think if a person looks good; what difference does it make what a damn scale says? I work out a lot and I am over 185. So, you and all other men would dismiss me because of what a scale says rather than how I look. This is why I couldn't be bothered to date. Nothing is ever good enough for you men. You can gain lots of weight and its quite alright but a woman puts on a few pounds and she is dismissed. Sick little world we live in and from what you wrote this only affirms my reasons to not even bother to date. |

Its just I have gone through that all my life and don't see anything changing. I guess I just get tired of hearing it over and over again. Its just men make me feel like I am never good enough for them so why even bother anymore. |

All I can say is, At some point YOU are going to have to TRUST that there are decent people/men out here & again put yourself out there & TRUST MANKIND. I agree, ALWAYS guard yourself as much as poss. RIsk is all apart of life & we risk everyday we get out of bed. SO RISK a little more & you just might find more happiness than you have ever known. TAKE THE RISK. |

You said it so much better than I did..I see nothing wrong with being over weight either..but even large people can look nice if they will try just a little bit to care about their appearance..they don't have to look like they got their clothes from a dumpster and slept in them for 2 weeks..Maybe I'm vain and being small minded..but appearance DOES count! |
