*Odd*...when one is factually-speaking, anyway.

Interesting excerpts:

"About a year ago, Shawna Dirksen launched Wundermeet, a matchmaking company in Edmonton. But she found something she did not expect...the gender of the majority of Dirksen's date-coaching customers: female...

"Last year, Sam Singh, a 37-year-old Edmontonian, co-founded Troop of Foxes [an Edmunton] speed-dating group...'Everyone was surprised we had so much trouble finding male daters, not women'...

"According to Statistics Canada's 2011 national census, single men in their 20s outnumber single women of a similar age. The crossover point comes in the mid-30s; from then on, single women outnumber single men..."


Perhaps what you meant to say is that it's difficult for you, as a man in your 40s, to compete with men in their 20s for the single women who are also in their 20s,


despite the *fact* that YOU haven't aged a bit?

Oh.

Well, then. Obviously, it's your plan to be a late bloomer...perhaps sometime in the next decade.


Or two.




Good luck with that!

in all seriousness .. I don't think it really matters all that much. Of course none of us wants a beached whale etc etc But we all get so judgmental, possibly because of own inner insecurities and trying our best to not age, to look young? This day and age is so focused on outer beauty .. No wonder we 'panic' when we see a wrinkle or grey hair.

When you grow old with someone, you smile when you see his/her grey hair, when you caress the marks on her tummy, left by the child you created together in love. Does it matter to see your partner get wrinkles? When you look in the mirror, you see you got them yourself as well!

I feel being single makes us so much more aware of aging .. and rather judgmental .. but in the end it's about what you feel in your heart


What counts most for me, when you're talking love, is a spark in someone's eyes. I need to feel that Light in someone, and if someone's got that, it shines through their eyes.
Call it inner beauty if you like ..
I call it "the Light in someone's eyes" .. That's what I'm looking for in a man ..

I have a feeling some of the ones on here didn't get it lol.

its a preference is right and you don't really know
until you have that experience to know I guess ...
and that feeling about someone ...

That would just make it worse... unless they have lots of reserves lol.

bj's first.

lol beach whale you say ... I had a very good friend and he was over weight but what I saw in his eyes at the time was that greatness of light ... and he was just a good friend ... I was still married ...

Wow! Blondy.... Better that i do not have to ... so proud of it hehehe

Yeah, I know someone like that as well.. Woman are all over him, including me, lol, even though he's married.
Stupid thing is, when you talk to him for 5 mins, you don't even see the tum anymore.. just the puppy eyes and the handsome face. Very attractive man..
So yes, I stand corrected .. even that doesn't matter really ..

feeling young, looking young..
and just out right .. gorgeou licious.

Lucky you .. I normally feel that way too, but I think the effect of my paracetamol is wearing off, lol.

Speaking for only myself, I think that there is noting more sexy than a woman of maturity.They have the looks,the brain, the personality and problem solving skills. There is nothing better than to tell a woman whats really on your mind and what your going through and they understand because they are also where your at in life.Different strokes for different folks but I prefer the grown up version of the opposite sex.

I am sure that the straight women here prefer the same thing.

???? The first part of my post clearly said speaking only for myself.

I am still going to go on the way individuates think and make their own minds up becouse so many can be gold diggers ... and older women may find attraction in someone younger ... personally now... I think if you have grand kids ... they can make u feel younger and wear u the hell out in a good way lol and i had 1 chance do date younger a while back and i refuse him becouse I thought he wanted to do so many things like riding a atv where as i can not do that anymore ... as much as i wanted to ... that kinda made me feel like i did not want to hold him back with someone younger and to even have another child if he wanted to ... but he was very special to me and that is why i did not go any further with him but I could tell I hurt him... but i think he is pretty happy now ...so that is cool ...

Oh yes, that.. another child ...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY!!! NOT EVER!!!!

I wanted a child with my ex for a long time (Always wanted a third child), but now so happy we didn't go there! The thought of having an approx. 8 year old running around, pffff... Been there, done that, no more! Plus it would've kept me connected to my ex for life.. Another thing I don't want and don't have to deal with now..

So yes, very good argument, children... if I'd end up with a younger man and he'd want a child .. then he's gotta choose.. Not even for a million Euros would I go there..

Older women are soooooooo much more fun, interesting, educated, mature, ... the list is endless. Whatever made a young woman good, time makes better.

Being around a younger guy just makes me feel even older; like a grandma. The only one that can make me feel younger is me but really I just act my age but stay active. I have hung with 30 year olds and they love to stay up all night to party. As well the maturity is greatly lacking. So for me; know a younger person would only make me feel like I m cradle robber but to each his/her own.
