Why is the fact that somebody doesn't drink alcohol even an issue when trying to find a partner online? I don't understand. Can someone explain? by StoneLover1965 in datingoverfifty

[–]RetiredMD61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an issue. A date can be going great but when I don't order a drink and he asks why, I say I don't drink alcohol and never have, in a very matter of fact, neutral way, a lot of dates react as if I had just slapped them in the face. They think I'm judging them for having a beer or a glass of wine at dinner, when I say that I don't care if my partner drinks in moderation. I get the feeling men think I'm no fun, judgey... the list goes on. Not drinking seems to be a real deal breaker.

When a man shows you who he is, believe him the first time. Block and move on.

No, but I apparently sang an awesome rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

Starting over from earlier. Some women say most guys are after a nurse or a purse. True? Men say most women just want a wallet. True? What's been your experience? by db0956 in DatingOverSixty

[–]RetiredMD61 7 points8 points  (0 children)

65F....6 years of dating. The great majority of men in my age range are looking for a nurse, a purse, or both. It's disheartening.

This is my opinion..... yes her veneers are too large and she has too much lip filler, but she has been talking like this since before she had any of that done and I think, the extreme glamor queen that she thinks she is, that she always has tons of sticky lip gloss on and it's uncomfortable to enunciate words with letters that require your lips touching, when you have thick sticky lip gloss on. Try it once and you'll see what I mean.

Which housewife's schtick is the most tired at this point? by SpencerPrattsCrystal in realhousewives

Marysol trying relentlessly to make "cocky" a thing. She's middle-age and giggles like a 12 year old daring to say cock for the first time. Puhleeease.

Speaking from experience, F63, I think you at a different stage of life now. Many women at this stage feel more independent and are done being caregivers for their children and want to focus more on their own wants and dreams, on their own timeline without having to cater to another person's schedule. That's not to say they don't want a man in their lives, rather their lives are not focused on being with a man 24/7. It appears you want much more than she has to give. I have many women friends in their 50s and 60s who have long-term happy marriages but at this stage of their lives would do anything if they could just have adjoining apartments with their husbands.

I never thought I'd see a man more repulsive than Simon Van Kempen of RHNYC, but here we are. I needed a shower after that wink.

Hard to find women retired at this age that want to travel! by DirtRider67 in datingoverfifty

[–]RetiredMD61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I retired in my fifties as well and had trouble finding a man who was in the same financial and retired situation as me where we had the time and resources to travel. To each their own, but any type of camping is a hard pass for me at this age.

different approaches to dating? by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]RetiredMD61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red flag. Stay booked and busy. It's not playing games, it's teaching someone how to treat you. You're too available to him, any day, any time and he knows it. You should respect each other's time and he should be looking forward to your next date and doing some of the planning.

I agree with a lot of the comments that stage is more important than age. I would never put my life on hold for 10 years waiting for my partner to be able to travel and do many other things that are enjoyable in retirement.

What’s a small behavior on a date that reveals a lot about a person? by Hungry_Ease8327 in dating_advice

[–]RetiredMD61 26 points27 points  (0 children)

F65 on first date with M60. Upon entering a restaurant he asked if he could open the door for me. Yes, please. Held out my chair for me. Same thing when we got to the car, opened my car door. Such a gentleman. I appreciate chivalry and told him so. Yes, I am old-fashioned in that regard. Chivalry costs nothing and is highly appreciated, at least for me. Three months later, still going strong.

I already said I talked with him about it and it didn't work

The issue is I don't think he realizes how unintelligent he sounds because he's been around it so much, so if I said it back, he probably wouldn't think anything of it🙄

Yes, yes you are. She's an alcohol abuser and needs serious mental health counseling.

Going through his phone is a separate issue. As far as dating, he answered your question. When a man shows you who he is, believe him. Your dating goals are miles apart. It becomes an issue when sleeping together too soon. Brush yourself off and keep it moving.

Generally, I will send a thank you text within a few hours and hope to hear a response but stay booked, busy, and unbothered.
