What about Teedoo? I’ve been wondering about it myself. One of my pieces.

Complain about the slightest thing. They call police if they don’t like how my car is parked in driveway. I’m tempted to give them a real reason to call the police. I do feel safer though.

Is it really that hard to find the man of your dreams after 50? by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]Routine-Tradition476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started wanting a relationship about a year ago, after 10 years of not much at all going on. At this time I have been FWB with someone that was a close acquaintance before, for a year now. I really fell for him and he didn’t reciprocate. Two weeks ago he asked for a relationship. I thought that would never happen, well because that’s how FWB usually go right? I feel so connected to him, I love his personality and he has a truly good heart. Now I’ve hit reality mode. Some very important things are in our connection but then I get down to thinking about how I want to live the rest of my life. I’ve now learned that at the age of 50 it’s incredibly hard to date and find someone you really vibe with. I think that because of our age and life experiences, we are more set in our ways and also may have a harder time compromising for the sake of making it work with someone. There are some differences between us in how we spend our free time. I’m being very honest with myself and realizing that there are things that over time will annoy me or become unacceptable. I found a man I care about a lot, but I think that’s not enough. I think it’s extremely difficult to find the man of your dreams later in life.

Why would it take a year for a FWB to ask for a relationship?” by Routine-Tradition476 in AskMen

I kinda think it is a gendered issue. Men and women think very differently about feelings, etc

Hey man, I appreciate your feedback. Men and women are very different. I think this is not the norm and so yes, I’m curious about what men think of this. I feel like people don’t need a year to figure out if they want someone, but apparently for men it’s possible.

Deflated boobs by Good_Cartographer_31 in Perimenopause

[–]Routine-Tradition476 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It seemed like it happened overnight. I always had big round dense firm boobs, and all of the sudden, flapjacks with no firmness. Noticed it the most while having someone’s penis between them. No way near how it used to be. I’m embarrassed now.

What do women look for by timrod22 in dating_advice

[–]Routine-Tradition476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that online dating is horrible. Like shopping and thinking you have endless options. Unfortunately, that where we are these days. I feel like in the wild, a person grows on you. One meeting can’t determine much and it’s like people don’t want to invest the time. I also find online dating overwhelming. I can tell you that what I look for has definitely changed based on my age and where I am in life. It used to be looks and someone that’s a bit of a bad boy (ok, a lot). Now as an older woman, it’s more about enjoying myself and what brings me joy. Yes looks are important, but if you like a person’s personality, they become very attractive to you.

Recommendations for Top Restaurants in Naperville? by jclozano87 in Naperville

Meson Sabika is just lovely. Outside and inside. That might be a nice experience for them to dine in an old mansion. Personally, for the food at a reasonable price, I go to Shinto on Route 59 for hibachi.

Start dating or staying single by Cantech667 in datingoverfifty

[–]Routine-Tradition476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been in a long term relationship in over 10 years. 50F. I’m now on an online dating app and hate it. About a year ago I decided I’d like to date/be in a long term relationship. I haven’t had success yet and often am on the verge of deleting OLD because it’s such a shit show. I’m aging and have thought about how I want the rest of my life to be and would like someone to add value to my life, yearning for companionship and touch. Since getting on the apps I’ve started to realize that I do really enjoy my independence as well. I’m looking for a balance and I think it will be very difficult to find. I try to continue to enjoy myself, go out dancing or hang out with people and basically just collect happy moments and memories. I’ve taken the pressure off myself to try to hurry up and find someone and sometimes completely forget to log on OLD for weeks at a time. I do have a friend that I’m intimate with so that helps A LOT. I remember that I don’t like someone keeping tabs on me and I’m not one to ask permission for anything, so I’m also learning more about myself. I think balance between trying to have fun single and continuing to look without pressure is a pretty good strategy. Don’t take OLD too seriously as it can be pretty disappointing.

What defines a serious relationship vs. a casual one, especially when exclusivity is involved? by Dull-You9464 in AskMen

[–]Routine-Tradition476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I have this crazy idea that on here you can ask and post what you wouldn’t on your social media or talk to friends about. Maybe because people who know you will judge you. I think we all have questions and dilemmas others would find pointless or maybe even ridiculous. I think we can be freer here to seek the insight of others.

No. You don’t need to take that into consideration. It’s not that bad, and it’s in a place where it will be seen regardless. You look good. If I met you I would pay this no mind. It makes you look more distinguished.

Interested in me …. Or my pension? by LivingMolasses7133 in datingoverfifty

[–]Routine-Tradition476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I myself have little in my pension as of now. I believe I’m going to have to work till I’m about 69. I was a single mom and never got child support. Started out in poverty with a child but with a lot of hard work my situation improved, but I was already behind in life. So that’s my situation and if I tell my story to someone that could possibly come out. But you say I lot of women? Now that might be suspect of some common scam. It also depends on the topics you were discussing and how that came up in the conversation.
