So you are willing to give up your life for someone else?

You need to look in the right places. Try some of the areas where there are horse riding trails and horse camping facilities.

Nope, waste of time!

Why pick on match? There isn't an honest dating site on the internet!!! An honest site cannot survive financially on the few people who would use it and pay for the service. Probably 90% of the people on here should be evicted!!

Sorry Tom, but how you act on the internet is exactly how you will behave in real life. I read some of the forum postings made on here that are sarcastic and nasty to another poster or the OP, and assume you are the same type of ***** or ahole in real life.

That response "" I'm not interested in boring, dull conversation. Telling a stranger how my day was is a waste of time, and none of their business." " will get you a response you won't like so you better put the block on after you do it!!! A FU to that would be being polite.

Moe, you should be very popular with a number of older ladies on here!!!!!!

I agree and you should not "ghost" them, simply say you don't see where the 2 of you are compatible. If they ask, then you can share what doesn't work for you and why. Sorting out different expectations is critical in making something work between people.

You bring up several very significant points. We recently had a thread about the use of "honey" and "sweetie". Very common terms of greeting in the south but offensive to some, especially women, on the coasts. The meaning of many words is different based on age, race, gender, and geography.

There is also the difference in values and attitudes. There is always the desire to learn the values and attitudes of someone you have an interest in. The response of that person says a lot about their values and attitudes. It is best to find those incompatibilities before spending the effort to meet.

Soooo, women have a special way of thinking? And I'm supposed to know and understand that? Just maybe we should expect her to verbalize what she is thinking instead of expecting us to be mind readers!!! I've failed mind reading class numerous times. My mind works straight forward and on logic, not female emotion!

We all are set in our own ways and most come with an attitude. While we are all individuals to some extent, there are many common characteristics based on age, gender, and where we live. We do need to remember that not everyone fits into a certain characteristic grouping, but a substantial number of people will.

There is that. I've met many women I would have no sexual interest in not to mention all the ones that come with too may strings attached.

2 things stand out to me: the lack of desire in the older population affects more women than men and in most cases your Doctor can help resolve the problem. Remaining sexually active and enjoying your sex life has many positive effects on your long term health both physically and mentally.

Here you go regarding decreased sexual interest of older men:

I do not bash older women but only point out statistical facts and medical research. It is much healthier both physically and mentally to remain sexually active. If you are having difficulty enjoying your sexuality as you age, you need to discuss it with your healthcare provider. There are many ways to change that situation with either medications or psychological intervention. What I do bash are older women who refuse to admit they have a sexual problem and seek medical care. They also seem to think older men also have no interest in sexual activity and will be satisfied with a female companion or housekeeper. As you say, some will be but many others will not be.

FYI: there is a significant difference between not getting laid and being incapable of having an erection or orgasm. Getting laid (your words) requires a partner generally preferred to be a female partner!!!

I realize there are both men and women who are looking for some level of companionship that does not include physical sex. That is fine and their choice. That does not excuse either from leading someone else on. I think most people expect sex to be part of any relationship and if you are not willing to be sexually involved, that should be made clear before any relationship ever starts. Let's just call it "Truth in Dating". Something akin to being honest about your marital status.

This is why men bring up the subject earlier than you ladies like:

To take a closer look at sex and older women, Harder and her colleagues analyzed surveys filled out by 24,305 women, half of whom were 64 or older. The researchers chose to focus on 4,418 women who also filled out a comment section that allowed them to write down their experiences in more detail.

Just 22.5% of the women, whose ages ranged from 50 to 75, said they had had intercourse in the preceding month. Lack of an intimate partner was the most common reason women cited, at 34.7%, for giving up sex. Among the 65.3% of women who did have a partner, just 34.5 reported being sexually active in the preceding month.

If only 35% who have partners are sexually active, that means I have a 60+% chance of getting involved with a woman unwilling to be sexually active. Poor odds of finding a suitable partner!! I don't need a commitment to have sex with me ever but I do need to hear a positive attitude toward still being sexually active on your part.

If it is totally subjective on the part of the woman if it "emotionally feels good", then a man has no chance of innocence!!!

Many miss the Craigslist personals; makes it much harder to make new friends. Very poor regulations by a bunch of politicians and their supporting do-gooders!!

If you want to "play" either have your partner's permission or "play" as a couple. As a couple is probably the best solution; it definitely needs to be discussed honestly!!! If you are unwilling to bring up the subject with your partner, you don't have any right to explore.
