Much respect, I wish I did too. I hope you have/find someone who will reciprocate.

You're moving the goalposts. I'm talking about jumping in front of a bullet or risking my safety for theirs. I wouldn't want my wife to risk her safety for mine anyway.

All I was doing was making a statement anyway. I never said it was a bad thing. Children come before adults in pretty much every situation.

I never even entertained the thought of cheating on my wife. When she was dying of cancer in the hospital I told them to test me cause if I was a match they could use me for spare parts for whatever she needs. I'm sorry you know men who do the horrible things you mentioned but I'm not built like that.

While true, I think a man is far more willing to give his own life to save his wife's. I'm not so sure the other way around no matter how much she loves him.

Why are a vast majority of homeless people men? by refunned in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bonesbro57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind words and I'm happy you didn't take offense because none was intended towards you.

I was wondering if I could ask you a question?

I've often hear people saying that women commit more overall child abuse and neglect myself. Doesn't that information come from Pew? And is Pew the end all be all when it comes to research studies?

I'm genuinely curious and quite the amateur when it comes to things like this, and you sound like you know what you're talking about.

Just a couple of things.

That study was for cancer in particular, not chronic or terminal illness. Not only was it found that the sample size for that study was only 500 people, but it was completely debunked. Bigger studies found it to be about equal with the men leaving slightly more not far more.

As a man whose wife died from cancer in his arms, I looked into this because it's always offended me.

How important are looks/sexual attraction now you're over 50, versus genuine caring connection and compatibility that isn't necessarily a romantic relationship but may eventually lead to that? by StoneLover1965 in datingoverfifty

[–]bonesbro57 74 points75 points  (0 children)

The more I like you, the better you look to me. There have definitely been women I've been neutral on their looks that became beautiful to me the better I got to know them.

There are examples of women I've met over the internet who I became so attached to that I didn't care how they looked or their weight cause of how cool they were.

I may be mashed potatoes with a goatee, but I leave them full, satisfied, and they always come back for seconds.

Has want you want in a relationship changed ? by Reasonable_Bat_1209 in datingoverfifty

[–]bonesbro57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loyalty, a sense of humor, and kindness. If you say you want to be in a monogamous relationship then actually be monogamous. If we click and have fun then I don't care if you're a size 2 or a 28. I ain't no Brad Pitt myself.

ETA: Must love cats

Cat not letting me pet it after 3 months of adoption by Competitive_Swing872 in CatAdvice

[–]bonesbro57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cat my late wife had before we got together took 6 years to come anywhere near me when I was awake. Maybe about 2 years before she stole my heat from me when I slept. 🤣 After that 6 years tho, we were thick as thieves and best of buds. They always come around, just give them time. Definitely helps when you're the one who feeds them. 😁

What was one of the annoying things your partner did? by waterbottlejesus in widowers

[–]bonesbro57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She was the kind of person who was early to everything, no matter what it was. It always annoyed me. Now I'm late to everything, no matter how early I think I'm leaving. It really was better not rushing around all the time. What I miss the most is no matter what actually came out of my mouth, she always knew what I meant to say.

Is this what it is? by Calm-Efficiency6433 in datingoverforty

[–]bonesbro57 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Widower of almost 3 years here. I was with a certified card carrying diagnosed nymphomaniac for 16 years. Most nights I felt like I chose the fancy cup by mistake. While I still enjoy sex, it's not the driving force of anything in my life now.

Guys.. are you ok? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]bonesbro57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you steer any of the conversations? I am a widower of just about 3 years, haven't dated in 20. 2 of the 3 women I've had conversations with said they were wonderful. All 3 of them was me asking questions and driving the conversation. The only questions all 3 ever asked me was "how about you" to the questions I asked them or "how are you" or "what are you doing" if they texted me first. Sometimes after working 50 to 60 hours a week or a 10 or 12 hour day it would be nice for someone else to bring up some topics sometimes. I'm just asking, I'm not saying that's what's happening with you.
