I have dated 10 years younger than me... And up to 15 years older... Age really has nothing to do with it. If you have chemistry, and are pretty even on maturity, It can work.


I don't really agree with the whole age has nothing to do with it thing. However, it will depend on the person. As for maturity, the younger the guy gets, generally, the less mature he gets. But, that's not always the case.. laugh.


Exactly! Why is it that people feel the need for perfectly-delineated "right" and "wrong" answers to this question? Sometimes big age differences are a problem, sometimes they aren't.

Seems easy enough!

You must be talking about the "bi-curious" one. laugh laugh
Oh boys you are so silly sometimes. :wink:


I have to agree. Gay (or bisexual) men are just one of the many types of people I don't want to go out with. It takes more than that to creep me out.

I guess you've never had a gay guy hit on you before....especially not one that was part of your group of friends. scared


I have had gay men hit on me before, and I'm usually just kind of flattered now (I wasn't always so comfortable with it). If it's someone in my circle of friends, that could make things unpleasantly complicated...but that's a different situation.

Your profile seems OK to me for the most part. One thing I would do if I were you is add more info/pics on the positive side of things. In other words, it's clear enough what you don't want, but people will want to know more about what you do want, what makes you feel good.

@Seakolony: What you suggest is possible, but how do you know that there are actually men to blame? I wouldn't excuse a woman's bad behavior even if she herself had been victimized. It would certainly be wrong to give all women a pass for anything they do to men based on the crimes of other men against other women.

You do make a good point, though, about our lives being interconnected in general. When we hurt someone, the pain seeps out into the community in one way or another.

I'll second that. I'm a smaller guy but otherwise most of the same can be said about me. If you're looking for someone interesting here we are!

If you're interested in him, based on your coffee together, then it seems like a good thing to me!

If you don't want to discuss those details yet, just explain that to him, and invite him out for lunch or dinner or something.

Keep in mind, too, that there's nothing wrong with what he's doing--many people want to know your preferences in the bedroom. Unless you NEVER want it to get there, you only have to decide whether you'd rather talk about it now or wait until later.


I just can't figure it out...how can you be so respectful and then just text something like that? LOL Another text was "SEXY LACE OR GRANNYS?" LOL,I just said certainly not grannys...


It's not disrespectful, but it is blunt and to the point. It's not uncommon, though it may clash with your style.

Just do whatever feels right.

Now, the bothersome door-knocking habit of missionaries is not that common in my whereabouts, but that does not mean you will not get your fair share of threshold-to-threshold ministry. The only time when I did get what seemed like an alien invasion was when I was staying at a friend's house in New Jersey. I would be lying if I wanted to tell you with strict precision which church they belonged to, but they did have an excellent sense of the opportunity and approached me when I was to walk my friend's dog in the morning or early evening. When intercepted, I tried hard to be polite and defer the encounter for later, the usual word I resorted to being "tomorrow". Such term bore literal interpretation value to them, so the next day I was once again questioned about my beliefs and deeds (the latter being far more interesting than the former).

Perhaps you will not be surprised if I disclosed my feeling of anxiety every time my friend's cute puppy made for the kitchen to fetch the leash. I did not take their intervention in my affairs as a game of wits or a personal offense; to me, it was just another waste of time and energy caused by wrong assumptions as regards the universe and its tenants. Intellectual sloth, at its best; intellectual irresponsibility, if bad comes to worse.

They say human beings are capable of a certain reasoning process called abduction. I did not know whether the answer I came up with to disrupt my adversaries' assets (infinite patience, endless resilience and imperviousness to rudeness -not that I tried to test this last one-) was ethically adequate, but my meager brains were not in a position to snatch a more promising option than prejudice. I had long suspected that conversion was the aim of each and every group of door-bangers, and that the capture of a non-believer's flag would be the ultimate prize. My advice to those of you still striving to be left alone is NEVER to reveal you are either atheists or agnostics. Such blunder would amount to exposing a juicy flank to their guns. Instead, I opted for an easy way out, however vile, however tricky. I just said I was Jewish (I am not, in fact). After seeing an undecipherable look (maybe a bit of a glare) mask their faces, and their faces become fast-disappearing backs under a wintry morning sun, I saw them no more. My ruse did not work just once, but twice, the second time in another country, another cultural environment, and definitely another religious denomination.

Jews are not indeed famous for proselytizing, but I wonder whether my stratagem would have succeeded the other way round.



I'm Jewish culturally but atheist, too.

Anyway, I can tell you that, in almost any part of the United States, your strategy would fall flat on its face if the hypothetical proselytizing Jews came knocking.

"You're Christian? Duh! We assumed that. Now, here's why you need to abandon the silly idea of the Messiah having already arrived..." sick

At least in my own limited experience.

Not that they are always the best option, but I'd recommend seeing if a doctor will prescribe sleeping pills for you. 50 hours is a long time, and sleep deprivation can be dangerous--especially if you're working as part of a team. Prescription sleep aids seem to work better for me, with one or two exceptions. Lunesta, for example, put a nasty taste in my mouth that didn't rinse away and lasted for 2 days noway

I don't know what one of your doctors would say, but maybe it's worth a shot. They might take you seriously.

I wonder how they assembled such an accurate calender? Ya reckon somebody helped 'em?


It is my firm belief that the Mayans were simply a very smart and organized group of people. The tools they had available were nothing like what we have now, but there's a lot you can do with just a little string, some straight sticks, a lot of patience, some luck, and a brilliant mind.

Pythagoras proved that the earth's surface was not flat using stuff like that.

Also, keep in mind that they had a lot of strict rules to follow connected to their religion and culture. There were people who had a duty to figure things out. A super-accurate calendar just happened to be one of those things.

If I find true love, great!

If I only find good sex with someone nice, then...still pretty good. blushing
