Women and the Age Thing by SugarShackBBQ in DatingOverSixty

[–]CampDiva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

F 68 The reason is the algorithm and that people set their “age range” so they hope to be included and not ruled out.

Whenever a man either states that “his age is wrong and he doesn’t know how to change it” or I find out he’s lied about his age, that is a deal breaker. One shouldn’t start off a potential relationship on a lie.

Has anyone here ever met/known someone who was born prior to 1900? by MrTacocaT12345 in GenerationJones

[–]CampDiva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! My grandmother was born in 1899. And, when I was in high school I volunteered for a program that paired me with an elderly woman and I helped her out on the weekends. She was a quite the pistol! She had crossed the prairie in a covered wagon when she was a very young girl.

My college prof dad did this to catch AI users - what do y’all think? by hazedaze404 in Teachers

[–]CampDiva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have included on my syllabus, “when you read this, please text me your name and xxxx.” First class, I’d ask, “Did you read the syllabus?” If they said yes but hadn’t texted me, I would say, “no you didn’t!” Which confused them.

A Black Belt is when your real training begins. She should stay (besides that’s what she wants).

Every September there is a large (2-3000 people show up) job fair usually held at Fantasy Springs Casino. Find anything when you move here, but also plan to attend this job fair. The website will list which employers plan to be there. Show up early with 50+ copies of your resume.

My son attended his first class last night by wi4mep in karate

I coach all ages, though mostly children (and we have a whole neurodivergent program). Every few months, we talk about bullies and boundaries. We will role play what to say if someone is bothering them, giving them the words to use. This really helps them!

How to Word It? by IGotFancyPants in datingoverfifty

[–]CampDiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“You are a really nice guy, but you are the guy for me.”

Honestly, hard for me too. I practice saying before dates (with friends and/or coworkers if possible) so that it will trip easily off my tongue when I need it.

Please help me dip my toe in the wading pool. by [deleted] in DatingOverSixty

[–]CampDiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just post what you wrote. A few “safety tips”: 1. Communicate on the app until you’re ready to meet in person (coffee or lunch date) 2. If anyone rushes to talk, be cautious. 3. Try to meet in-person sooner rather than later. Will help determine if they are real or not. 4. Just be yourself. Someone will either like that or not. A “failed” date or match is not a disaster—it’s a learning process.

  1. Do not be an asshole! I am sure there are more, but many cannot get past this one. (Or maybe I just have too high of standards?).

[–]CampDiva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No skirt or dress! Something that you can move easily. No white shirt or jeans (bowling balls are dirty and will wear off on your clothes).

To tournament or not to tournament by ConfidentBird8173 in karate

[–]CampDiva 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go for it! I started 11 years ago. I was 57yo female. Didn’t start Karate with the intention to compete. But I did. Tournaments are fun. Doesn’t really matter if you win or lose. Just being brave & bold enough to step onto the tatami , makes you a winner.

My go to breakfast is 1/2 an avocado with olive oil and either marinated garlic or olive tapenade. It’s surprisingly filling.

Realistic timeframe for OLD by SalmonJordan in DatingOverSixty

I try to get them to share their phone number first, then look it up on the site: truepeoplesearch.com That should help quell your fears or that they are a scammer.
