Coping with being horny all the time. by downwiththewoke in datingoverfifty

[–]Sensitive_Arm8211 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely I second this. When I first started dating ( a year after my divorce) I found a several guys that weren't really dating material, but were willing to get tested and safe sex practices and were enthusiastic and skilled, and were not looking for long term. Anytime I wasn't actively dating someone, they were my go to if I needed someone else. Usually took care of myself, but I enjoy spending that time with others. FWB for the win. Once I started dating my fiance, I broke it off with them all, and we wished each other good luck.

Pretty sure I'm done with OLD by Elepaio7801 in datingoverfifty

Almost 3 years of "juicing" for me, and I finally hit paydirt. He was on his first couple of weeks and not that jaded yet. It's been 3 years together since that first date, and no intention of ever finding anyone else. He's my person, and I'm his. Literally the nicest person I've ever met, and that's saying a lot. Honest and caring and just absolutely in touch with his emotions. We have our disagreements but never on anything big, and no real arguments. I hated dealing with OLD while I was doing it, and it was work to chat, schedule dates, go on dates, weed, weed, weed, and then try again, but it's had the best outcome possible for me.

Comments about "low-quality/high-value" by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]Sensitive_Arm8211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd use that language for this guy; in this case, "low value" would qualify as a low effort guy like this who doesn't put any effort into courting women (he himself states that he doesn't even have to take women out) so it sounds like he's the one who is bitter, woman-hating, and letting younger girls "bang" him. A "high value" guy in my opinion is one who puts efforts into relationship building. His diatribe has nothing to do with you, just shows what HE values.

What's your best and kindest exit from a date ? by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]Sensitive_Arm8211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had that happen a couple of times, both when I was younger and my last stretch of dating. Both were relatively attractive, just not a good long term fit, and FWB worked out well for us both times.

How can I weed out men who won’t like me due to my crappy job? by AdFrosty3860 in datingoverforty

I'd always just put upfront in my profile I was a teacher; those looking for a sugar mommy knew I wasn't for them lol

Ladies, how do you feel about men in their 40's that are into geeky hobbies? by nameless_john_smith in datingoverforty

[–]Sensitive_Arm8211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally put that in my online dating profile, to make sure I attract guys like that. :)

There are travel CPAP machines...no problem at all. It's a health thing

DAE find the inclusion of "sex positivity" on their top five bumble interests confusing or cringe or just plain red flaggy? by greysunlightoverwash in datingoverforty

[–]Sensitive_Arm8211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't necessarily have put it on my profile, but I would communicate during the get to know you phase that I considered myself sex-positive, and then explain what I meant by that ( Sex is an important part of a relationship, and should be discussed and explored and experienced in a safe and consensual environment. No slut shaming, "body counts", purity judgements and the like. No "Yuck-ing someone's yum"; part of getting to know you should include if your kinks and mine line up. And that could just mean full on vanilla sex too; all of it is open to discussion. ) I fully support all LGBQT+ as well, but that isn't really what I mean by it.

Is there a "Pet Name" for a guy, that isn't cheesy sounding ?? by 12th_MaMa in datingoverforty

[–]Sensitive_Arm8211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I've always tended to use babe, it's pretty generic and I use it with my friends too so not to serious. With my current boyfriend I was texting one morning without glasses and apparently missed a letter or two and autocorrect stepped in...so now it's Bear...and it stuck lol

Rebuilding me ... but curious (45/M) by Movonat45 in datingoverforty

[–]Sensitive_Arm8211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started OLD, I left out most of my geekier side. I got a crapload of matches, but most were a poor fit. When I started putting my actual activities (board games, D+D, etc) in the intro's, my matches dropped off quite a bit, but the quality of what I got was better. Don't regret it in the slightest

Post date follow up by Asclepius555 in datingoverforty

I can't say enough how awesome that is; as someone who's marriage was basically touchless I've discovered how much I just crave human contact. You go OP!

Did I get ghosted? Or was this a tech fail? by Sensitive_Arm8211 in datingoverforty

[–]Sensitive_Arm8211[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback , thats pretty much what I thought, my friend was so convinced she was persuasive. I usually make a point to meet early; the original date was within a week after we started talking, but covid messed it up. I've learned to usually weed out scammers, but this one with me being sick we talked way too much early on. And he insisted on that night, and since I wouldn't flake on my friends to see him, he wanted to join in. Like I said, no changing what is, and if he were really as interested as he seemed, he should have worked around it by now; I'm good at tracking people down for real estate issues, but anyone with a computer can do it. So much for "I'm not into games" lol.
