How harshly is the age gap judged?

Where I live they probably would be called feminine somewhat. Lol.

Most were Texans...native born Texans since that is where I lived most of my dating years.

So what?

I'm in a good place. I have nothing to offer, and I let it be known. If someone wants me, what else can it be but love?

Oh I see the confusion. stuck on talking about people in their 40s because of your current focus on yourself. I am talking in general. So yes. I am talking about People under the age of 30 give or take.


yeah a week is pretty extreme. I was thinking like 6 months

well that's you. Not everyone feels that way. and not everyone needs as long as you do to get to know someone. and the reality is that you even after a year you still won't know someone that well. or 2 years. or 10 years. it's an excuse that people make to not marry after 2 years or 3...4...5... etc.

for some people, 6 months is enough time to get to know someone. maybe not for you. maybe not for everyone. but it is for some people.

You might be the coolest grandpa I never had. Because both of mine died before I was born but good post man.

I would think that you must have a lot of money and she plans to spend it on her next husband.

Not hardly. LOL And one reason why I'd not care what they thought.

No money, no youth, but looky what got!

Don't we all.

Don't we all ...wait wat r u talkin about.

Yeah, but the common denominator is that you picked them. That doesn't say anything about men. It says something about which men you felt comfortable talking with.

I am a nurse. I feel comfortable talking to four year old boys, 15 year old boys, 22 year old men, 42 year old men, and 92 year old men. They all talk to me...and usually I know quite about them fairly fast...more than just what I have to know to take care of them. When I dated a guy from my current state, my cousin said she always assumed I'd marry a rancher after my husband died. That is what other people think about me. Yes, I do tend to like a certain kind of man ... but I have dated outside that personality type. But we all have a preferred personality that we are attracted to.

nevermind. I added nothing.

So you want a man whos been ran over by a tractor a few times before you give him a chance? Interesting taste you have.

You have me there. For some reason, I thought this was on the Mature Singles side. Considering that I am talking to "grandpa" and several men who also post in the mature singles, it was an honest mistake. Yes, I do believe that 20somethings ought to get counseling from someone whom they trust and has a history of knowing what a good marriage looks like.

Let's not be ignorant here.. lol.

 

[blackribbon]

I know you like a lot of eye contact from one of your other posts.Lets have a staring contest and you tell me what you see.

Trust me, if we were talking at the same time, I'd see more than you'd want me to see. It is one of my strongest qualities, the ability to see past the facade that most people put up. Unless I am having a bad day, I like to make eye contact with even complete strangers.

Reality is that most people in my age group that are single have been "run over by a tractor a few times", so no, I am not afraid of a man that comes with a bit of hurt as long as he hasn't forgotten how to love. Now, if he actually owns that tractor, that is a plus and incredibly sexy.

I would like that kind of insight on myself. see into my own eyes in the mirror and be like, "I see the real you."
