If it makes you feel better; Men have made me feel like I have nothing to offer them merely because of my age.

?????????????

You must be talking to some plastic men..? Some men are looking for the mental/emotional/spiritual connection.., just as much as the physical one.., but that is sometimes hard to find, with a younger person...

Keep optimistic..

In each particular instance, have you considered discussing your feelings with that person? There is a slight chance we could make things seem most likely rather than what they really are. Then, the object is to sit down and communicate about what we feel, right? Do you think we fail most of our prospect relationships as a result of our not being able to negotiate our feelings with one another?

I don't think any of that matters. Men are visual and want a younger prettier woman. There is nothing I can do to change how I look. Its just life and there is nothing I can do about it except for accept it.

But.., not all men want younger women.. Read my post above..

..and if it makes you feel any better.., it happens to men, too..

There are good people & plastic people, in any part of the world..

Maybe it has something to do with how you look at a situation. We sometimes have to play different roles in a relationship. Sometimes we have to teach, persuade and encourage people's actions. Really, it's all about negotiating. If you really think you can convince someone, all it takes is courage and strength, the belief that you can influence. Sometimes a man needs a push in the right direction. viceversa

No person can "make you feel" anything about yourself unless you believe what they are telling you.

And you have to realize that they only speak from their own limited, ignorant and selfish point of view.

I don't get it. Why bring money into it? If I had a son/daughter, that wanted to go to University, to get a really good job, who am I to tell them not to? So what if they got rich? So what? I'd be proud that at least they were earning a living, instead of relying on ME for money handout's. What did YOU wanna be when you were younger? Money is just money. If YOUR daughter/son suddenly got rich, would you shun them? And yet I hear poor people constantly talk about playing the lottery. So actually, all of the lottery player's want loads of money. Then how can they moan about rich people, after they've just popped into the shop and bought a lottery ticket? Oooooh. Must get that lovely villa in Spain. Not.

I don't get what you don't get? Isn't this about money and women's attraction to it? Okay wealth I should say but conventionally that's taken to mean money. There's one thing money IS good for and that's staying as free as it's possible to be in this world and to me that is THE most important thing. You have freedom, you have all you need to live, experience and learn.

Not all women are attracted to money sure a lot can be ...but I am not influenced either way, financially secure is good but no more than that .just as long as there is a an attraction both physically and mentally, then I am good.
I am not looking for anyone to support me financially, just emotionally .....there is nothing more important than having that special someone in your life that makes each day new and exciting even if you are only curling up on the couch watching a movie .... ah, what could be better ! Nothing... but that is just me

Men be liking women with lotsa monies too!

Likes to see you say that when a bill is due.I'm just saying.In another world I would agree with you but these days one better be well off or both need funds put together.

Anyway you look at it.Two people working together even at a fast food joint.They should be able to save to buy or go any place they wish.Not what you make but what you bring to the table.

I understand what you are saying but guys here just prefer younger women. I read your post but it changes nothing. I lost my optimism long ago. It is what it is and I have accepted it.

I do believe what they have told me. It hasn't just been one guy; it's been all of them. Whether you think their point of view is ignorant or selfish; it still changes nothing in my life but thanks for saying that anyways.

I was with my husband for 25 years. We both worked & we earned about the same. Money didn't matter so much to me it was more that I was in a loving relationship. Unfortunately money was what he craved & so it all went wrong as he spent more than we had. He had affairs in which he led them to think he had money. So no not all women are like that.

I believe all we have the good Lord gives us. But with marriage we do have total free will in who we chose
Wealth should not enter into a decision to marry or not marry
Wealthy men or women can be taken advantage of . When a wealthy person marries someone considerably poorer they should consider if that person would still be there with them if they had no money or if they got ill and lost their money. I see these days many older men going to countries like the philippines to marry very young girls and it is so obviously an escape from the girls poverty an economic exchange which to me is sad as it often appears that these girls don't really find these men attractive and would rather be with men from their own country who are of similar age.

Hello lone wolf! My name is Lori and I'm new to this, but wow I love the way you say what's on your mind and I so totally agree with you. Money can't buy you love, yes you need it to pay bills and eat, but I truly believe money dose'nt buy you happiness. All I'm looking for is for some one to accept me for me. I have a few extra pounds on me, but working on losing it and when I'm in a relation ship I believe we should both help with the running the house and bills. If you would like to reply please do so. Thanks have a great day.

About time i came to the table again? I've been on here for awhile and have been judged on my Age, Aperence,and i guess the Bus i have on my gallery? This doesn't mean i'm not a good Man. It also seems to me that Money "makes a Man or Woman" more popular on any dating site! As well as aperence and attitude!! If you dress Fancy,Pose by your Fancy Vehicle or Bike, in front of your fancy house viewers and scammers hammer at you relentlessly!! Nobody cares to really find out Who or What you are,just what you have!! Only then do they all of a sudden want to meet you!! As most of you can see by my pictures "my Bus" That don't mean i have to Live in it. I'm 58 not stupid!! So it does not matter to me its Your Loss!! Yes i'm apioniated in my posts and honest in my answers and that don't make me a bad Person!! Just an undesirable one! Everyone on here has made mistakes in their past, they can't change that but can chance a Future by Participating on here! Its up to the Viewers to Acknowledge your Existence or want to see what you are in person!! I wish all the best!!

I wonder how many women out there are actually telling the whole truth on this money topic . Lets be totally honest , we are on dating sites for a reason , that reason being so we can choose. now I am financially secure , a grafter , as we like to call a hard working person in England. Worked damn hard all my working life . so do you really think I would jump at a date with a lazy sod, who cant raise the bus fare to the nearest food bank ! Noooo way. WOULD YOU?
you cannot live on love alone xxxxxxxAnnyjo ...honest aint I lol x
