Wrong number.
Actually, a self-sufficient woman is a target, no matter what her age. I’d advise her as I have advised Grandson #1.
I tried listening to my gut, but I just ended up eating a lot of tacos.
(Mmmmm, tacos...)
You sound just like my son. He has brought home one woman he was serious about, and she treated him badly. I can’t blame you guys.
The woman should be half your age, plus 7...
That is an interesting statement. I had not heard it before today.
Would you mind elaborating on it?
If you operate on the assumption that no one is worth marrying, no woman is good enough for you to consider, you’re creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Much depends on where you shop, too. And if you choose women/girls to whom you’re physically attracted, then try to find one among the lovelies who has good character, statistically you’re going to have much worse luck than if you make character your first criterion and beauty further down the list.
Many years ago a wise person told me that the trick is not to find the right person but to be the right person. Bitterness and a conviction that there are no good people out there guarantee that you won’t be the right person for anyone, your relationships will end badly, and you’ll end up alone.
True.
I turn 48 this year and never ran into a shortage of women.
Luv em.
Thing is I don’t want to be molded, changed or told what to do.
I’ll do just about anything so long as I am asked.
I’ll go just about anywhere but sometimes it comes with a time limit due to considerations such as work, working out, can’t stand being at a party more than about two hours, etc.
I’m flexible but I am not a rug.
I am not interested in someone changing my dishes, china, flatware, etc so they can redesign my home. Besides, I have more than most people and I spent thousands on it. More importantly it’s mine and I don’t get rid of stuff.
You want to buy more stuff? Fine but I ain’t getting rid of stuff I acquired, most of which people wish they had.
Want to redecorate the house? Better ask. It’s a mutual thing and again I spent more than most people do for a home on my stuff and I have two more 10’ x 20’ storage full of more stuff I have no intention of divesting myself of.
Happy to shop for more stuff together and I have great to impeccable taste. I love quality and I don’t really care for my home to look like Ikea (not that there’s anything wrong with that)
New carpet? Let me know and I’ll probably pay for it. Just ask and tell me why. I don’t want to argue but if you don’t take to being at least courteous I’m not going to go along with it.
Want to paint the walls? LOL, really better ask. That is a lot of work for me to just move the furniture, art, antiques and other stuff and I have never broken a thing.
But, I ain’t doing the painting and I want it perfect so we’ll spend money on a guy that knows what that means and I don’t want to hear how you can it from some dork that pretty obviously cannot deliver excellence.
Want to mess around in the yard? Yeah, I love gardening and you can add to what I’m doing or ask If I wouldn’t mind if you “?????”. I’ll probably say yes if you ask, just don’t expect that I will give up the entire garden.
It cost lots of money and took forever to get it where it is and I love it. It will take a long to grow whatever you want to do and I don’t want something you are eventually going to ask me to take care if it’s going to be more work than I currently do.
You want to hire someone to clean the house? Done, as in I already have someone and they do as good a job as I would and know my expectations and will even come over to clean up after an event or party.
They will never, ever be allowed to clean my room, my bathroom or even touch my laundry. They can take my dry cleaning to the same dry cleaners I have used for years and no one else. They are my friends and I play pool with their sons and have for 20 years.
For big dry cleaning jobs we can use only one other person who I trust to get it right and if they don’t like how a job comes out, well, they just do it over until the job comes out the way they would like ti.
Forget about the cost. The quality of work they provide costs what it costs and I am not interested in experimenting with a different vendor and hoping I get the same result.
If you want to change the home it’s gonna take a long time but you’ll probably get your way if all you do is ask, don’t try to waste my time or take advantage of me.
Don’t want me to go snowboarding, hiking, surfing or whatever? Better come up something better to do and fun but I won’t give up my entire life.
I love the activities I pursue and would love it you can participate but it’s not necessary and I understand.
If you think I will give up having fun to merely go shopping, that’s crazy.
Think it would be great if I cooked once in while. I love to....from time to time. I ain’t cooking every night and don’t want to go out every night either.
If we do go out you will be treated like the queen and the princess every time. It will be about you, not me.
If we go shopping for some event it’s all about you and if you want to include me, fine, mostly.
If we go shopping for stuff, shoes, clothes I am going be your cheerleader and make sure you are high from exaltation.
Vacation? It’s about you but I am going to want my way on a thing or two. Let me have my thing. It really doesn’t cost you anything and you will get most of the time, adoration and loot.
Don’t be a bogart and It’ll be fun.
I really am low maintenance. No one made me. No one gave me a thing and no one, ever said I was doing things right. Why? Because they have another way they would do what I am doing but they aren’t doing it, so it’s easier to pick apart someone else.
Don’t do it. I hate it. If you don’t have something constructive as in “have you ever considered” or “What if you did....?” the don’t bother giving your opinion. Most of the time when people do they are more likely going to go on and on about it and it hurts my ADHD real quick.
Make a friendly or loving suggestion and see what happens. I’m not deaf and really am interested in what you have to say. You opinion is important to me and I will thank you for it.
Easiest way for us to get along is to accept each other as we found each other and not hope for something different. It will end in disaster.
Easiest way for us to get together is mutual respect and recognize each other as co-equal partners. (besides, you’ll probably get me to cave on whole host of issues and more if we are just nice to each other)
Easiest way for us to get along is to realize we are probably going to argue over stupid stuff and the sooner we both understand we are arguing over something stupid, without resorting to a belief the person is actually stoopid and apologize for escalating the easier it is for everyone.
Sometimes it sucks to apologize for being stoopid and if you want harmony, get over yourself and get thee in the process of apologizing. I don’t care to belabor a point, beat a dead horse or plow a field twice. Sorry.
Lastly, realize life is just plain easier if both of us want to be with each other and are not bound some obligation that actually interferes with a free and open relationship (not in that way).
Feel comfortable to be around each other with not judgement. Sucks to know someone is constantly undermining you.
Wake up each day thinking “Nice to wake up with you”. Demonstrate it and why. Little ways and big ways.
Go to sleep each night thinking “Nice to wake up with you”. Demonstrate it and why. Little ways and big ways.
Surprise each other for no reason at all. Cuz it’s Wednesday and I was thinking of you.
Plan something or an event between you or with friends that demonstrates you love each other.
Key word in a relationship “Demonstrate”. It reveals you.
Wire for you...
Zactly!
What I am interested in is a woman who knows when to be a girl.
My husband was definitely the “Shy Guy”, but he was worth the effort :-)
LOL!
It means you’ll be seeing older women until you are 14.
Is that where the itch comes from?

Take a look at women from more conservative cultures. BIG difference.
And don’t EVER forget the man’s rules for Age.
The woman should be half your age, plus 7...
That is an interesting statement. I had not heard it before today.
Would you mind elaborating on it?
I once passed a retirement home and there was a "block party" going on. Everyone there was a lady. No men. Of course, it may have been a stag party but more than likely they were all widows.
Any woman who marries a man older than herself is statistically a good bet for being a widow since women, on average, outlive men by seven years.
You can do a kitty ping?
You are wise not to get married. There is no reason for you to make someone miserable and you would.
I am 54 divorced after 20 years of marriage(not my choice). Just started dating again abt a year ago.
My guy is 50, never married and no children. Very sucessful attorney. The longest relationship he has ever had is 7 years.
I really like him and I know he feels the same about me. We have been seeing eachother since January. The relationship has not moved forward that much but it has not stagnated either.
Trust me when I tell you he is not gay.
I get very frustrated because he pulls me close than pushes back a little bit. At times it makes me crazy.
Sometimes I just want to say screw it...but I cant bring myself to do that.
Dating is sure different now.
