Ah, I wouldn't take him too seriously.

Krupa is very opinionated and seems to want people to agree with him. But, I don't think he's as rude or demanding or serious as he sounds at times.

I have the same issue. Some people take me very seriously and think that I'm being rude when I disagree with them, which is not the case.

I think it definitely is becoming more acceptable for younger guys and older women to date.

And yes, I do agree that some people seem to need validation for what they're doing. If everyone else doesn't think the same way, they don't like it.

Al right peoples,
I'm not the cougar type, ok? If you only knew me... you'd actually warn the guy to watch out.
Anyhow, I just responded asking him how come he never approached me before on campus? (Because he had stated he's a part time professor at CSULA.) I don't know peoples... I feel some fishiness in my gut. I'll know more soon.
To be continued.

Those are his very charming qualities!!

the fishiness might be that he's wantin to hit on u for some older woman trophy sex - so just be wary of that

and hey - I am not the cougar type either - the only thing I am inclined to pounce on is the last meatball on the plate

but younger guys seem to like me - I am told it's because I am cute..... WTF? CUTE? at my age???

good try guys

Good for you. I'm not very fond of cougars. Sure you're cute. It just depends on who says it with what intention. LOL

true

I guess cute is a compliment

I always wanted something more like mysterious, smoldering sex goddess tho

I should probably put my pants back on.

Please believe me Sandel...I am easily misunderstood. Pretty much everything I say should be taken as a joke. (even a lame joke...I am trying tho)

...and sing...I was trying to get you to trash talk women. Duh! But...nooooooooo.

:)

P.S. I call myself cute cause you danged women don't and I do what I gotta do to maintain my delusions.

Well, I'm so glad to hear that. The context gets lost when you can't see the person and don't know them well. The joke is much funnier now. Peace!

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.

Here goes my first problem on mingle, people:
I’m on this other dating site that I don’t really use that much and yesterday someone send the most perfect message to me, letting me know much he loved what I shared of myself and that he he is VERY interested in getting to know me. I looked at his profile and agree with him that we’re on the same wave length on so many levels.

Here comes the problem. I’m 46 and he is 28. In his profile he listed that he is looking for someone between ages 20-30, which tells me he does not have a fetish for older women. I like that. It shows that he is sincerely interested in me. However, this age difference problem has been haunting me forever. In my 30s it wasn’t a big deal but now it’s causing me to isolate myself from the dating world because I can’t find anyone compatible or someone I’m interested in who is near my age. Believe me, I tried. I really don’t think getting involved with anyone younger than 40 or 39 is realistic. I need some empathy about my situation and I’m curious about your take on it. I don’t even know how to respond. What do you think?

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.
