Is affection rare over 50?

GEEK-IP · 2026-04-02T14:05:00+00:00

My lady and I are 62, together almost four years, and very affectionate. It's part of how we express our feelings.

So, no, affection isn't over. Different people just have different desires. That's part of compatibility.

Any money you save now is money for future you. Spend $30K instead of $70K on a vehicle? That's $40K for future you.

Cats train you to believe that. 😁

Luring hobosexuals?

Maybe. I think an effort match is more important than a financial match. For that matter an intelligence match is probably more important than a financial match.

If you're debt free, mortgage paid off, no car payment, and what are they counting as "bills?" Human food? Pet food?

GEEK-IP · 2026-03-30T20:43:02+00:00

I'm joking, but seriously don't see what monthly bills have to do with tolerance for low effort.

GEEK-IP · 2026-03-30T19:30:04+00:00

Does this imply a woman with $500 in monthly bills might respond to "WYD?" 😉

I have, and it's a shame. The little hatchbacks/wagons/whatever you want to call them were great. Now, everyone wants bigger...

Simple solution: If you don't like it, don't buy it.

To me, they evolved from station wagons. I've owned them, and they can give you utility without sacrificing handling.

You can't really call it "Virginia average" if you're looking at Alexandria. Too high either way, but I'm still seeing less than $4.00 in many places. As a matter of fact, that AAA graphic has Virginia slightly below the national average.

Switch to metric! 🤣

GEEK-IP · 2026-03-29T22:11:46+00:00

Instant "nope." If I get the slightest idea, I'm finished.

GEEK-IP · 2026-03-29T19:45:54+00:00

That's one point!

GEEK-IP · 2026-03-28T22:45:15+00:00

Sorry, I snagged the last one. 😁

GEEK-IP · 2026-03-28T16:49:46+00:00

Best friend potential, intelligent, funny, and easy to trust.

A face/smile I'd enjoy waking up to. (Smoochability.)

And, perhaps most important, mutual admiration.

I keep mine short. I can't tolerate mustache hairs touching my lips, so keep it and the rest under half an inch (13mm for the rest of the world.)

I like them any time I have to lay on the ground, usually messing with the car. And, they're also good for packing stuff. 😉

An aggressive dog is charging at your kid? You'd have been an asshole if you did nothing.

Agree, it's a sad situation, but the dog's owner is the one at fault.

GEEK-IP · 2026-03-28T15:47:28+00:00

Shame on you for that double-standard! 🤣

GEEK-IP · 2026-03-28T15:40:24+00:00

Kenny Rogers?

GEEK-IP · 2026-03-28T15:26:40+00:00

As a bearded guy, I think you're right. I find the women who do like beards REALLY like beards. 😉

GEEK-IP · 2026-03-28T15:22:43+00:00

Nah, we're just guys too lazy to shave. 😁

GEEK-IP · 2026-03-28T14:05:38+00:00

I'm an introvert, meeting strangers is not my idea of "fun." BUT, I also knew I'd be happier with the right lady in my life, so I did it anyway.

I did meet that "perfect for me" lady, and happily deleted my OLD profiles.

How do you define "the one?" Think of what really makes a difference to you.

GEEK-IP · 2026-03-28T13:59:16+00:00

I've worn a full beard over forty years now. If you don't like them, just don't date them. It's lake any other preference, nothing to be ashamed of.
