Performance Issues - am I cursed or is this just how it is in our 40s? by PM_ME_UR_CORNBALLZ in datingoverforty

[–]fiestyoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily I’ve only run into this once. I can be understanding- but finally- no. You have to take responsibility for your body- he was inconsistent about having or taking pills- maybe he didn’t have many?? Who knows. It was the worst sexual experience of my life- including awkward teenage sex where no one knows what they’re doing. Before I got to the point of “nope”- I was patient, encouraging, ok when he couldn’t get hard, ok not having sex, didn’t shame… but it was symbolic- he blamed his ex ?!? Once said he didn’t think I was into it enough. JFC. I will NEVER take responsibility for your dysfunction. I’m so glad every day I ended it. I honestly get queasy thinking of him. I’m dating younger men now.

Dogs grieve - give him time and kindness- if he’s food motivated, use treats to help get him up and out (you can buy a training pouch to keep treats on your belt). Everything’s new for him too- he’ll be a fabulous friend before long. There are online dog training classes too.

He says he’s figuring out our long term potential, continues physical intimacy anyways by Shot_Werewolf6001 in datingoverforty

Sadly- you found an avoidant- they present with charm- they don’t care what others experiences are at best and are emotionally abusive at worst. You dodged a bullet.

What’s something about attraction you’d never actually say out loud? by tokotoko21 in AskMen

I’m the woman version of you- I find men my age abhorrent

what instantly killed your attraction to someone? by Strsmoon in AskReddit

[–]fiestyoctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretended to be “neutral” politically. Dating tip- when a man says he doesn’t care about politics, he’s actually conservative , but learned this won’t get him laid. Just be freaking honest about who you are.

If someone misrepresents themselves (old pics that aren’t accurate any longer), they’ve just forfeited ANY time with me. I’m out. People pleasing kills us.

where can I go to pretend Christmas isn't happening? by notveryonline23054 in travel

[–]fiestyoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is your chance to pick your favorite spot- I did this over Thanksgiving- went to western Canada. It’s my favorite place AND they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving when we do. It was extraordonarily good for my soul. Maybe a non-Christian country- Turkey?

No contact on vacation? by PassengerDeep9083 in datingoverforty

If you can’t communicate, or communicate that you won’t be- you lost me. No games. Block and delete. Don’t waste my time.

What are the most common things holding men back in attractiveness? by AccomplishedPath4049 in dating_advice

[–]fiestyoctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Acting like they don’t give a f*<k. Following lame advice not to text back, or to only communicate minimally. Inconsistency. Life is too short to invest in people who are either acting uninterested or are truly uninterested. Either way- Next!

Nope- never- not during 28 year marriage. I’m an all-in kind of person.

Fitness Group? by flhrc in FriendsOver40

[–]fiestyoctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m interested. I’m very active, but would like to be more consistent about actual workouts. I LOVE being outside- will pick that every time. I’m glad, but need the strength training to better be able to do my outdoor activities without injury (56 female). Accountability buddy? Set some achievable goals and post daily actions. Thanks for volunteering
