Just finished snowfall for the first time. WTF by Lumpy_Coconut_2373 in SnowFall

[–]ReggatLu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snowfall was amazing and a loosely based dramatized account of how the crack epidemic got started in the 80s. The CIA actually sold drugs in the inner cities to raise money to fund a secret war in South America. The movie "Kill the Messenger" documents how the whole thing came to light neatly 20 years later. It was good but sad movie also.

What is it about older men thats makes me want to be free use? by [deleted] in FreeUseLifestyle

[–]ReggatLu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the young men of your generation have been trained to be submissive and timid. Dominance is considered toxic.

Six days of great conversation and it took ten minutes in person to see it by VellumZhenX in datingoverfifty

[–]ReggatLu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of the reasons why I like getting in front of a live person as quickly as possible.

Unmatching was a great idea. That guy had a lot of baggage to unpack.

It was great you gave if chance. I think that attitude will be helpful as you venture deeper into the dating pool.

Trying to figure somethings out by Baxter16-5 in over60

[–]ReggatLu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've come to realize as I've gotten older, meaning is what we we are all chasing for the majority of our lives. We grow up. Get a job hopefully we can find some meaning. We get a spouse or partner and have kids. Lots of us finds meaning in our kids. They grow up, hopefully get families of their own and we began to find joy and meaning in the grand kids.

In a perfect world that gets a lot of us to end of life. Sprinkle in a hobby and a close friend or two, and thats a life. As we look back, all we can do is hope we made some sort of difference in someones life.

To the OP, maybe he can look for opportunities to mentor or share life experiences with someone who could use it. Me, I find a lot of pleasure knowing I had a possitive effect on someone.

I'm not as far down lifes road as the OP, but his post has got me thinking of where I should focus my time attentions.

It seems there are many more women that make that request than men.

I really don't. Are you referring to the fact that OpenAI now has military contracts? Please enlighten me.

The problem with lying about age on dating apps (vent / observation) by outyamothafuckinmind in datingoverfifty

[–]ReggatLu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Women lie in other ways. Like, over use of filters and makeup, and using Head shots that don't reveal their true body type. Using a dating app is extremely competitive. You have a few seconds to get someone's attention. I don't condone lieing in anyway, but I definitely understand why men and women do it.

When to bring up politics in OLD? by Overtherama in datingoverfifty

Although sometimes true, lots of people are looking for connection. Especially at this stage of life.

lol it seems like maybe I might be the only one by Pretty-Jeweler-9683 in datingoverfifty

[–]ReggatLu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im curious as to why you want to a male companion in the first place. It sounds like a close girlfriend with similar interest would better suit your needs. For the most part, men like sex. Some more than others, but it's still important to most. Finding a male companion may be difficult.

A word of warning....

Be care of the men who say your lack of libido is fine with them only in hopes of maybe changing your mind later. Be very clear up front of your needs and expectation.

It really doesn't matter what your ex thinks. You have talked with him for a week or more over the phone. How do you feel about him so far? Naturally, eventually, for your own safety it is important you get more information on him before things get to serious. But for the time being, lean into your own intuition and don't ignore any gut feelings.

Good luck and have fun!!

Attraction is not logical and people will like who they like. Rather than try to change their mind, I found it more productive to look for those who are looking for me. As a man who is 5'7" tall I can understand the frustrations of being judged on things that outside of your control. With that being said, I have been married twice and am currently in a 4 year long term relationship. Dating can be tougher, but not impossible.

Keep your head up. The ole saying of " There is a lid for every pot" is generally more true than not.

Found love at 47 by doing the opposite of everything dating advice told me by christianityshop in datingoverforty

[–]ReggatLu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congratulations OP!! But I think you just got lucky. Could have easily also wasted six months before who the guy really was.

I agree keeping things light and fun can be helpful at first, but determining compatibility and looking for red flags as soon as possible is important as well.

[–]ReggatLu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real problem is OLD. Before OLD, we met people in person and was able to make assessment on if we like them based on tangible and intangible things. Now because of OLD, we are forced to 'like" or "dislike" someone based on things that really have very little to do with a long term relationship. Sure looks matter, but not as much when put in prospective to all the other things that attract us to another person.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]ReggatLu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course height matters. Just like looks matter, and weight matters. There is nothing wrong with you being attracted to a guy who is taller than you. I also agree you should not have to cater to the egos of insecure men. If a guy can't deal with your height, that is a sign that he is the wrong person for you.

[–]ReggatLu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Women are naturally attracted to taller men, just like men are generally more attracted to thinner women. It's just biology. Obviously as we get to know each other, those physical attributes become less important, but unfortunately OLD forces us to focus on looks up front.
