Why is it so hard for you women to simply say i'm not attracted to you and...

And the truth is we are going to be seeing more and more. Maybe Christie Brinkley is an exception at 62 (or however old she is now) but more and more are living older and older better. We are seeing a huge increase in the number of centurions and 85+. And of course the baby boomers are hitting 65+ at a huge number each day. Even if everything stayed the same that still means more people who are in really good shape just as it means more people in really poor shape. However, if we break it down we will find that baby boomers were much more involved in exercise, health conscious, etc than previous generations so chances are high that we are going to be seeing an increase in the % of those who are living well older.

 

Agreed. And that is the way I prefer it.

 

If it turns into a relationship, I will pay for certain things and she will pay for certain things. For example, maybe she wants to see a film that I don't want to see... she is paying for it if she wants me to go and vice versa. As far as being really into someone... I haven't really been super into someone in years.

I approach each relationship with the question of what she might bring to the table. I am perfectly happy being alone and able to focus on my projects. A relationship can get in the way of that, so she must bring something to the table that either adds to or enriches my life (which is rare if you are generally content with your life). So, my relationships often turn into friendships down the road lately. If I feel like my time is being wasted, I end things abruptly.

 

I like what I like so I usually don't like women asking me out. I guess that's different than if we meet and she's paying me attention or letting me know that she's interested, then me asking her out. I think I've already mentioned that I've been a "big girl" magnet every since I weight 105lbs. Makes me wonder WTF they're up to :smt017


@K...we will all be geriatrics/seniors one day - if we are lucky. I'm glad to hear that them old dude are still slangin' wood at the senior building. I might have to put off my plans of moving to an over 50 community and just go ahead and get me a room in "the 'Jets" :smt042

 

This has to be by far the most entertaining post!! Too freakin funny! Thanks for the entertainment you all lol

 

Interesting. What do you think they are up to? You know we all get together at conventions and pull out all the names of men we are all going to go for. Maybe you need to send in a note to the committee so they will take your name off the list.

I always find it amusing when people want to say things about how big girls are after them (or whatever other group). I happen to get hit on much more by white men of certain types than black men....probably pretty close to the same ratio as the demographics in my area. I'm just not attracted to white men and I may get frustrated at times that there aren't as many men who are "my type" approaching me, but I still try to take it as a positive that whoever is approaching me.

It reminds me of when I was young and someone told me how funny it was that girls would saw EWWW and be really freaked out by some "perv" looking at them or coming on to them, but thrilled when someone else did or said the same exact thing. It's all a matter of perspective.

Hey you may want to go for one of the over 55 communities, I hear many of them are quite the happening places now. You've already got your kits together for it.

 

Shit...in the highrise I just have to take my walker down the hall :smt042 I bet between that walker, the craftmatic and cup of stale jello - I can make magic happen - ctfu!!! j/k

K, no one wants me now that I'm considered "short" (first I was too dark, now I'm too short...can't catch a break)...

 

Yep you're going to be making it happen! Hey when you get to the elderly point, there are many more women around then men...you're going to be doing great!

LOl is the whole height thing new?

It seems to be such a big deal now. I mean, I remember my grandmother saying "There's just something about a tall man....he takes control when he walks into the room" but we all rolled our eyes at her and didn't think much of it. Admittedly, I have dated more tall/very tall men in my life than short but that had nothing to do with any preference on my part, it was based on who was approaching me. Recently I found myself much more interested in a man who is 5'5 than he ended up being in me.

I think there have always been women who preferred darker skin men.

 

Darkskin men had a good run, There are no official dates, but back in the day, the closest a darkskin guy got to lightskinned guy might have been a the perm or the jheri curl :smt042. Then the darkskinned guys took over Hollywood for a smidgen of time. Right now, if you 're around black circles...the joke is that, "light skinned dudes are making a comeback":smt042 I think there actually used to be a little bit of animosity, but, nowadays, it is what it is. Of course, each decade had light and darkskinned stars.

Yeah, being black and 5-8 is not cool right now. You have to have "the connect," have some celebrity or money to get a waiver :smt042 Add in the fact that women want to wear platform heels and it can be a struggle.

 

Hahaha. Good pick up. I could have directly admitted that statement to you. Thank GOD you're not trying to go there because there should be jail time for any dude rollin around in those nasty budgie smugglers id rather see a man in a mankini before I had to be subjected to such a vulgar sight. It's bad enough seeing young men in those things!

Rub a dub dub haha!!

Oh please. Not all women are shallow and judging your schlong size!!! Only 99.9% are. I'd rather know straight up the erectile measure at its finest. Not take a stab in the dark guess of how much that stalk is gonna grow. Personally I'd feel terrible if men walked around with permies. Being constantly turned on would be far too much to handle.

Ohhh I see how it is......
