I prefer someone closer to my age, but seems most women 10 years younger look older than myself. Now give me hell.

Possibly has to do with hormones and genetics, there are exceptions.

But you are right, most men that are older seem to think they look like they did 20 years ago and chase the younger women. I think they are just not right in the head and I just do not know how women put up with these dummies.

Hmm, dummies about sums it up. LOL

not everyone ages gracefully.. and agree that some women (and men) often look older than their ages, however I believe it has more to do with what they've done to their bodies over the years ie.. too much make-up, or the consistent use thereof.. their eating habits.. sleeping habits.. smoking.. and illnesses.. are just a few that can play havoc with ones genetic structure.. so it's not necessarily inherent to ones hormones or genes IMO..

but agree that some men (and women) wear rose colored shades that block out the reality they're surrounded with.. for whatever reason.. I can only assume that most of us that ARE single.. is simply because we reFUSE to put up with "these dummies"..

I will add that some people also are stressed. We aren't all born with a silver spoon in our life. Hard work, not being able to afford to eat right, enduring very harsh conditions/weather, stress which certainly affects your sleep, etc. So, I wouldn't blame genetics as the only factor. For me it isn't how one ages in looks that matters to me as I take this all into account. I more interested how someone ages mentally as despite how well we care for ourselves; looks will and do fade with age. Then what are you left with? I will take brains and personality every time over looks but that is just me.

well said navy.. however having money does not dictate how well we can, or cannot, eat.. you certainly don't have to eat t-bones all the time to be considered eating right.. salads, vegetables and fruits play a large part in maintaining a healthy diet/balance(as does a simple glass of H20).. and cost way less than t-bones, if you get what I mean I've never been "rich" either, being a single mom of 2, full time, with little or no monetary support (coupled with a few other life curve balls) but I still managed to serve healthy food to my kids.. it's more about the choices people make with the funds they have.. that said.. I DO concur with our comment about taking brains and personality over looks though.. I'd rather be with someone I'm as comfortable with, as they are with me on both intellectual levels as well comradery ones..

I don't think it's most and it's not just men :)....Lots of things determine how we age, just as lots of things determine how we reacts to the process...Donald Trump may not be my type, but I would never cal him a dummy...lmao...

Its just hard living down their past relationships! Then there are those"ruby glasses" most use!

unlike perhaps many who do that.. I don't!! every relationship is different and should be looked at for it's own merits (or downfalls) as unique.. what's past is History!

besides that.. I've ever owned a pair of rose colored shades

I'm 50. And I feel the same about women my age. Lol

Its got nothing to do with whether your old and jaded or not, its a known fact that women age quicker than men due to childbirth and menopause etc (all you feminists just hang on) but I know many women in their 50�s and 60�s who look after themselves, and have great bodies , and personalities. So don�t start blaming other things or people for your own shortcomings, because we all have the power to change. If you eat to much you will be fat thats a fact. If you have a thyroid problem ok, no ones blaming you for that. But men and women alike have the ability to change their lifestyle. Take control of yourself. If smoking and drinking is bad for you then so is overeating, we have communities lik AA for alcoholics and groups to help people quit smoking, but apart from place like weightwatchers, what groups do we have for people that over eat. So come on you fatties I know you are dying to have a go at me for this post so bring it on. LOL

Remember:Old is gold:-) at least we are still young at heart, ready to Mingle.

I think older women are very sexy , lol

Like going to the Wine Vault , Aged is good ,Just need to blow the dust and cobwebs out, Works better, Tastes better , and You apperate it more!! (((((((Beautiful Smiles!!!)))))))

Personally, I have never found "dust and cobwebs" in my "wine" to be blown out, no matter what the age of its packaging.

Never said anything about the wine, just the bottle its in. I guess some Wine Cellars are kept dust free? Seen a lot on Movies that had Cobwebs and Dust. Just Saying. LMAO!!

Yeah, ya did:




Unless, where you're from, sommeliers EAT the wine bottles???



In any event, it was a charming simile. Ranks right up there with being compared to cars that need to be test-driven and cows that freely dispense milk


for making women's hearts go a-flutter and get all twitterpated.

I don't compare Women with Wine or Cars. Personally prefer Good Moonshine or Bourbon myself, But that "edible bottle " thing seems like a good invention!! Where i come from. Just an Old Hillbllly having some Clean Fun! LMAO!!Twitterpated sounds good.

Just because you could provide healthy food for your kids doesn't mean everyone can afford to. My parents could not provide good healthy food and there were days we went without food. Vegetables and fruit these days are like buying gold. Personally; I eat healthy but I know lots of people simply can't afford to buy the healthy foods as they are two to three times higher than regular food. Also; due to poverty; some go without eating so they can keep a roof over their head. Utility bills and rent are sky high here; so people try to find the cheapest foods to survive and unhealthy foods are the only option.

I made choices that most perhaps don't.. or sacrifices as it were.. instead of paying for cable or high energy bills.. we would add a layer of clothing and find other things to do that would entertain and educate.. and instead of paying a $1 for a box of k-d, I'd use that same $1 to by a good pasta when it went on special.. I look for specials too.. thats why they send out all those circulars in the mail... plus I took my kids & I to goodwill to dress us instead of paying $50 for a pair of 'designer' jeans/shoes etc.. we would go to garage sales and get new toys and other household items and tools(as well it was a fun 'outing' experience with the kids).. I bought used cars that I could pay cash for, instead of having a debt hanging over my head.. and I researched for almost 10 yrs for THE perfect home, that I knew I wouldn't loose to the bank because I couldn't afford the mortgage & municipal taxes.. like I said.. I made sacrifices(or 'smart' choices) so my kids could have a Home, clothes on the backs and decent food in their stomachs.. I taught my kids how to survive in a world that lives beyond it's means.. wears debt like a badge of honor.. and lines corporate 'America's pockets with fees from overly high interest rates.. I've even had friends that were making 4 times my annual salary, come to ME for a loan..

by no means am I discounting what you've experienced.. I personally lived a modest childhood as well.. however mine taught me you can be frugal, byet still enjoy life to it's fullest.. you just have to think far enough ahead, to make ends meet!
