His preference ;) I don't think he has a dilemma that we can help him with. Seems like he wants complete strangers to answer his question, which of course I don't think anyone would be able to do that. I can't read minds and... quite thankful for that. LOL Wonder what's going on here? Attention-seeking?


Sometimes people just want to hear input on a subject from other people....nothing wrong with that...

Is there such a thing as too honest?....or do I just have to come to grips the fact that at 62,in the middle of a plague-demic,I'm just too fugly for any of the women on here?
I've heard women complain that men only want one thing on these sites,or that men don't want long term,but then when you see these profiles (at least 1/3 of the ones I've read) where the woman says that she's only interested in men under 45 to 50 (even if she is well over that herself) how is a guy to meet anyone? Do I have to turn to the 20 something "Barbie doll porn bots" that keep popping up in my mail and likes or am I just too old and infirm to interest a REAL woman?.....asking for a friend...LMFAO


No women *I* know want someone 10-20 years younger than themselves...I know *I* sure don't..

You asked: "how is a guy to meet anyone?"

I wish I knew.

People on here say the various dating sites aren't good for meeting people...
They also say "you can meet real people in the Forums here.."
Ok, well...that would presume there are guys of an appropriate age, within a reasonable distance of me who *also* have things in common with me..and so far I haven't seen any of those...
Many oldsters (I include myself in that group) are retired, so...meeting someone through work/ a work function is out..
In our age group we don't go "clubbing"..
Volunteer...people have said...did that, and the people were all older than me by some 15-20 years...or married..
Join a Meetup group, they say.....
Well, if you live in a rural area...there aren't really any close by...and the few within a reasonable drive for me are not things I am interested enough to shower, dress nice, and drive an hour+ one way to go to....

So for me....the various dating sites are what I do.....and I have no patience anymore for judgey people who offer unasked for "advice" about where to meet people...
To tell someone they are "doing it wrong" in your opinion is not honoring or respecting someone else's lived experiences or reality. happy

People should be hard to get.
The chase and all.


Why though? I mean I understand the chase should be fun and flirty, even a bit mysterious, but it reminds me of playing head games...




I am a grown-a** adult...I do not engage in Jr High school-type games..
If a guy acts "hard to get"...makes me chase him/ compete for him...I'm out.....I don't compete for ~anyone~..,.you play that hard to het crap..I'll go elsewhere...
You either want to get to know me, or you don't..I'm not chasing after you/ begging/ competing for your attention..

Same for me....I don't play games with dudes....I will not play hard to get/ coy...make you think I have several other dudes, and you need to try and get my sole attention..
Why can't 2 grownups just relate to each other without all that nonsense and subtefuge..??

If ypu personally LIKE that...fine....you do you...

I normally do a reverse image on the pic and then include the link where the pic can be found on the web.


I usually do that too, when I am suspect about the pictures..
But this person ~told me~ they are not of him...yet, when I did a reverse search...nothing came up...

The same way you would report a scammer. You would see the option to report their pic once you click on Report.


But...do they *read* what you write..?
Like....they need to read where he says to me "oh, those pics aren't of me.."

If someone admits in a message to me they are using someone else's pictures (not their own)...who do I report that to?

So..have we not evolved at all to where we don't have to play games???

Secondly..if a woman "pushes" a guy out of the middle zone fence (to go *either* way)..she is accused of pressuring him/ being pushy/ demanding....ya can't win..

And, what about the women who are this way...can't agree to a relationship...but don't want to be alone either..it's not just men....

Why can't we just share our thoughts, rather than force communication with women on dating sites?



How is anyone making you "force" communication with women on here? whoa

If you don't want to chat with women, no one is making you do that....then there are several places in the Forums here for expressing/ sharing your thoughts..:thumbsup:

yes it is if your not the one working 80hours week so you can go see your family every few months or if don't have to pay for our five kids we have shoes food proms cars wedding


Seems like someone made some poor choices here....
Can't afford 5 kids...shouldn't have *had* 5 kids....
By the way..it take *both* people to make a kid..no one can make a kid by themselves...just sayin'...

In the United Kingdom, where fish sticks are known as fish fingers, a survey revealed that one in five young adults believes they are actually the fingers of fish.


whoa

Although, I did see a program about a decade ago where kids were horrified that milk came out of the udder of a cow (they went to a dairy farm on a school trip)..
They thought it was made in a factory like soda....
You have to wonder about the parents of kids like this...

@crystal ... hypothetical question . If another woman tries to take away the man you love .... would you allow that to happen or would you fight for your relationship ??? Is that considered a form of possessiveness ? Just curious .


If a guy can be "taken away", then he's not 100% into me....because if he *was*, he would not be interested in/ allow himself to be "taken away"...
It is a conscious/ intentional thing.

IF someone doesn't give a fig at *all* whether you flirt with, or go out with other people..I wonder how much they really care/ are interested in you..
I had a guy I dated for months back in 1979....he'd mentioned living together/ getting married, so..he was pretty serious, I *thought*..
His younger half brother saw me at a bowling alley, bowling with a league that a guy I had met at a Halloween party invited me to (we got to talking, and found we both liked bowling)..
Meanwhile, the guy I had been dating had pouted because I wanted to dress up and go to a Halloween party..he wanted to stay home and hand out candy to the kids...and expected me to do he same.
(He was 4 years older than me and had a 4 year old daughter)

Anyway....this was a week later..and, the half brother said "I can't believe what I am seeing..."...didn't make a scene, just acted a fool quietly..
I told him "well, go tell Joey about it....(they only loved 4 miles from this place)...
I never saw the guy again...he never called me again...
I heard he'd said "well, I guess if she wants to date that person rather than me....OK.."
Which was fine, as his complete lack of any feelings about that made me lose all interest in him.
(P.S. I was 18...he was 23..and that incident was the only time I had gone out with someone while dating *him*, so..wasn't like I had a pattern of doing that)

that they will not reply to anyone who does not have a profile photo.


That is because MEN *demand* a picture, so...what's good for the goose...& all that...



I would suggest to the OP that he might consider going clean shaven, only because more women prefer a guy without a beard, than with a beard



Nope, not necessarily..I am 60...and *all* the guys I have dated or had long terms with had facial hair..
Some women love that look...:thumbsup:

Appearance before personality ?


Of course personality is important, but there has to be some chemistry, some attractiveness. If I don't see someone as attractive, and I do not mean someone with filmstar beauty, just someone I find attractive 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder', then it's very likely I am not going to contact them. Meeting someone only confirms a chemistry, and if you both feel the same you date to see where it goes. Dating someone will discover compatibility but it will not, in my opinion, produce a chemistry where previously none existed, there has to be something there at the start for it to grow.


I am 60, had 3 1/2 long term relsationships (7 years, 8 years, a nd 12 years..the 1/2 requires an explanation)..and I still don't have a clue what this "chemistry" is..and how it relates to looks..
The closest *my* understanding and concept of it is (and supposedly it is wrong, so say other people)..is if conversation flows easily...we have a lot in common...and being together is just "easy"...neither has to work to keep he conversation going...etc...
None of that has to do woth looks...
*I* have never equated "chemistry" with bonertingles (not that I have a boner, but..just an easy example for the purely physical)
