The vodka and green tea is an excellent year tonight.

:)

Why is everyone trippin on the old hippie. With all the requirements threads, and Love lists and everything else that people desire in a mate...there are a billion people who would prefer a NON-smoker over a smoker, HANDS DOWN...

He never said he is not sociable with these types of people, he is not interested in dating them is all. Why is everyone getting so defensive. Everyones preferences is different. He asked a question and he's getting answers.

Does that make a person prejudice though for preferring one type of woman over another?

I was on another site and got an IM from a guy who was using a picture of an actor as his default picture. I asked him if the picture was done professionally and he said no. I asked him if he knew he looked like the actor and he said no. Then I asked him why he was using a picture of an actor and he swore he wasn't.. then stopped talking.

18 years is an ideal gap, but the guy should be older, so say the ancients. I have found it true. If you are a 47yr old woman that means a 65yr old man is best for you.

I think after one day of messages its too early to make any decisions about this - I'd stay open to meeting him and at the very least cultivating friendship. I mean, why not be friends with a 28yo, right?

Hey, thanks for your response. it's been a week, not one day. This is a 7 page dialog. I already stated that that was my intention. However, things have shifted. The issue has already been resolved by now.

I date far outside of the social norm for my age, both younger and older, and I'm not clear on your reasons for thinking that 'under 40' isn't realistic. I was younger than 28 dating a woman your age. Today, I'd date a youthful, spirited, healthy 50+ year old if we were very compatible, and my last few partners were intelligent and mature under-25s.

I agree with you. However, the issue has been resolved. The situation went beyond age matters and has nothing to do with the way you have put it here.

If it were me, I would just respond to him as a human being rather than him-as-a-28yo. I've been so pleasantly surprised by the depth and maturity of some 22 year olds; he may surprise you.

I have done that and yes I was surprised. Again, the issue has been resolved.

And shrug off any haters. So it makes some people uncomfortable to see a 46yo dating a 28yo, who cares. Inter-racial and same-sex partnerships also make people uncomfortable. Their discomfort is their problem.

I don't care what other people or haters think. It's not my concern. My mother was 7 years younger than my father and I have almost always only dated younger men than me. Like I said, it didn't work out. Hang around. Hopefully we can talk about something else one of these days.

Actually you dodged a bullet girl. I have been butt naked since 730....count your blessings that you ain't physically hanging out with me....you chicks get wierd when I break out the vodka and the Slip N Slide.

Ma'am always makes me think they're talking to an older woman. So it sounds very strange when someone calls me ma'am.

Shut the hell up and give me a cheek smooch with a little dry humpin.

Remember to enjoy the moment.

Hehehehehehehe

what was the question?

is the OP a dog puppet?

i will neverrrrrrrrrrr understand the use of babe, baby, papi, or mami.
unless you like to think of your significant other as your offspring or parent,
it is disturbing as fuuuuuuck.

Thanks Sandel.

You are cool with me. Just know that I never have said anything with any intentions of p!$$ing you off.

So.... Like I said. I think you are a cool woman.

Live with it.
