my mini-crisis lol

LOL, well, to me that would be a GREAT thing for you to talk over with him AFTER sex ! If he freaks and runs then ya know, it he doesn't repeat what occurred before the discussion!

Seriously, why do women do this, if you want to get with the guy get with him, why the need to treat it as if it were long term employment? Enjoy the moments and see how many enjoyable moments you can string together and as time goes by the problem may not even exist.

noooooo, I am the one wanting to really keep it casual and he was the one talking about wanting someone to spend time doing lots of things with, weekend trips, just hanging out, doing stuff couples do and I don't want to lose a friend so I am scared to even go there. I can definitely handle a casual buddy thing/REAL friends thing. I am very capable of not getting emotionally involved, sad I know, and taking things for what they are but he seemed a bit more into relationships than I am..... I was just curious about the age thing really. I have this idea that a younger man will enjoy an older woman up to a point but then if you spend 10 years with them and suddenly they are 40 and you are 60 that is a big deal.

Oh, so you the one that wants to hit it & git it? ;)

If ya want to hang out then hang out, if more happens and that is what you both want cool. look, you can not put every man in a single box, we are all different, what works for one does not work for another. The heart wants what it wants and many times explanations of why don't apply. No need to complicate things until things get complicated...
 
I am 13 years older than my wife of 27 years. We have never had a problem but I must say you have a lot more issues to consider when you start thinking about retirement, etc. It's much better for the man to be younger because most women outlive men by a number of years anyway..

I'm not sure I'd put it that way, not now at least.... old 40 year old me, sure, that was all I cared about, hit and git.... but after breaking off my engagement, taking a four year break from men altogether and realizing what is REALLY important when you love someone and that just because he looks gorgeous does not mean he will add to your happiness. I don't want to go back to the way I was before I got engaged and just have fun and then kick them to the curb. I'd LOVE to find a person I can enjoy watching the Tar Heels with, going to games, having quiet time at home or taking these short trips to the beach or mountains, (all the things this young man says he wants to do with me) but it would be so GREAT to find that in someone I can literally age with at around the same pace, retire with, and KNOW they are there when we are old and just want to have companionship. I don't want to be smothered and don't like having attention all the time. I don't like clingy and for some reason I get that or the ones that are the complete opposite.

IF I do find one that is really great and really fits the bill, they always want younger ladies so I guess I am just scared and figure I will just do something casual and hope and pray some old bald man that is tolerable will come along to share my life with when I am old and need a ride to my doctor's visits LOL

Hey, if 60 is the new 40... then what's the problem?
 
My grandmother married a guy who was older than her father. Not surprisingly, he passed away when my father and his brothers were young.

I mean, you are the older one so I would say go with it. Then again, you probably shouldn't be asking us anyway.
 
dude isn't 30...he realized nowadays chicks are on tinder...guys have no choice now.

he's probably 45 with a great dermatologist.

at any rate, get yours...and whatever he says, that red light does mean it's recording.

My dermatologist is pretty hot.

So you took a 4 year break from men? So you played for the other team? Pictures or it didn't happen!!!!:p
 
Well, I think an argument could be made semantically that time doesn't exist (you could say that about many things though). It is simply a label we use. I've always thought that was more of a religious idea though. Actually discussed that and similar topics with my preacher and some other people last night.
 
I've noticed, over the years, that a lot more women seem to do the "I have a niece that age" sort of comparison. They seem to be compelled to make a direct comparison- in age- to someone else. When I was 36, I was living with a 18-year-old. I never once thought "She's the same age as my cousin! Who was a baby when I graduated high school!" I just thought of that, right now, in order to share it here. If anything, it was interesting how her father was only a year older than me and looked 20 years older.

I guess Mrs. Robinson and The Graduate had a real impact on culture. My step-bother is 59 and his wife is in her late 70's. Who cares?

Well, it is just different for guys. When I was 18 I dated a 32 year old and while it was fun at first, we did not really have much in common once we got to know each other... in fact, I saw him not too long ago in a waiting room and realized we STILL do not have much in common! LOL People don't really think much more than the usual stereotypical stuff about guys who date much younger women (the women think he sucks in bed so he HAS to go for the young ones that don't know what "sucks in bed" is yet LOL or the rest think she is just in it for security or money) but other than those things men are not given a bunch of crap usually.

Women dating younger men, however, well, you see on here already what we get.... COUGAR!!!!! They think we are just sex crazed lunatics wanting to train a younger guy. LOL it's all nutty.... oh well. I'll just enjoy my new friendship and live one day at a time. So far just friendly phone conversation and planning to do something together, so I am not going to think too much about it. I'll see him again Thursday so we will see what happens ;)

I watched that video that Strum posted about time and it just confused me. I get that we as humans MAKE time a thing that is almost necessary now but you know, the sun comes up and goes down pretty much at the same rate every day so I don't know how else we can look at time or NOT look at it.

If we lived on the land and off the land and did not need to work or have a care in the world, of course, time might just stop existing in a sense but you would still have your body moving forward with aging, plants would grow, die and regrow, etc. I am having a hard time about time just not existing in reality. It actually is not a bad idea to have time anyway. We need structure sometimes.

Strum is confused. Time indeed exists and, no, conceptually it isn't a man-made phenomenon. It is the measurement of time which man invented.

The earth is still flat. We just need confusion and drugs to realize that it's round.
 
Ahh, gotta love facebook philosophy.
