What are men looking for in a relationship? I don't know about other men, but I am looking for a woman who is intelligent, caring, outgoing, honest and interested in me as a person.

I agree about intimacy. I've always refered to sex as " ic ing on the cake " in a relationship.

Honesty,compassion,and respect! And most importantly! A good sense of humor!!!!! so very true, and learn from past experiences. We can hide our head in the sand as an ostrich does or get out there and fly like an eagle. But I'm a little below that, don't like heights lol my feet will stay on the ground

Friends first; that should be the base of any relationship, at any age. Good conversation, an ability to accept differances & not pass judgement. Mutual interests & the ability to try new things; that the you might not really care for. Accepting each other, with no hidden agenda or thoughts of, I can change that. Most of all the ability to understand each other's need to their own private time, when needed; NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
YES Sir! My thoughts exactly. And I will add that I wish for someone who is not all about what they mandate from me, but rather is interested in what is best for us BOTH. Like two hands washing one another with love soap. One cannot get clean satisfaction without the others help and support. Ok corny, but that's my opinion. |

The same things I have wanted my whole life being over 50 doesn't change anything for me.

What I feel I need the most is someone who can share and enjoy the things I enjoy. I'm probably not your typical 56 year old. I love going to concerts, heavy metal concerts and the metal lifestyle. I know there are women around my age that enjoy this as I see them at every concert but, they are not that many of them. :)

I really couldn't care less what 'men' are looking for. I am more concerned with being accepted for who I am rather then meeting another individuals expectations.
Over 50 - under 50, INDIVIDUALS want what they want. If I can't be comfortable in my own skin, I'm not relationship material anyway. |

I just came to the conclusion that men in their 50s simply don't want a relationship so I just gave up.

I can bait the line and cast the pole. I need someone to pull the fish off the line and put them on the stringer.

The question to men over fifty is, “now that you have experienced many of life challenges what is your vison of a good relationship?”
An independent woman and sex. I believe a romantic relationship requires sex to function properly. It's frequently said arguments/disagreements result in diminished sex but I believe the opposite is true. The sex diminishes first resulting in looking at ones partner as a roommate or pal or buddy and that's when things are looked at with a critical eye. During the "honeymoon" stage, be it 6 months, a year, or whatever length of time do people argue over who emptied the dishwasher or who did the laundry? Two people are anxious to do more than their share for their partner. Then the sex slowly wanes and the "it's your turn to do...." begins. I think we've downplayed the importance of sex to our own detriment. Told to look for similar activities, similar political views, similar views on life, etc. has resulted in the one thing that defines a romantic relationship, sex, being summarily dismissed. "It will happen naturally. Lust, desire, etc. are not important." we're told. People eventually find out those things are very important. Cute quirks become annoying habits. The enjoyment of doing things for our partner become chores. What has changed? the reason this happens is because of the emphasis on sex and not upon intimacy. train yourself to be intimate, appreciate intimacy and you will be a more desirable lover sex without intimacy is a noisy horn, a clanging bell's soured note, we want real music 
Where was the intimacy, the real music, when the gal was climbing the guy's bones during the Honeymoon period? They were happy just sharing each other. Also, why do some people have to be "in the mood" before they engage in sex? Doesn't the touching and caressing get the person in the mood? My view is sex is frequently looked at as "the icing on the cake" when it really contains the basic nutrients necessary to hold a romantic relationship together. It shouldn't be any more an option than talking to ones partner. One wouldn't say, "Do we have to have a conversation over tonight's dinner. I'm not in the mood to talk to you." Anyway, that's the way I see it. I don't have any statistics but I bet many relationships slowly dissolve as sex occurs fewer and fewer times. no touching is not necessary for arousal, and to your second set of comments I would give the same answer as I did to the first, with the caution that if you are unaware of how a woman becomes aroused msg me and I can perhaps recommend a book. Or ask a few ..but be prepared to really listen. :) |
