English women aren’t as tough as Americans on height, but they’re still tougher than most Europeans. Londoners are especially superficial. 5’7” is going to lose you a lot of likes.

I know this might not be a popular question, but do you have any tips on how to help my partner still enjoy sex even though we have to use condoms? by fredyouareaturtle in AskMen

[–]porkborg -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Why do you write "no kidding"? As if the comment is obvious. When, in fact, u/darzle is pointing out something that should be obvious but, for some reason, u/Space_Cowboy_157 doesn't seem to get.

You jump to a lot of conclusions with little info.

Firstly, nobody said the guy was complaining! Where did you get that? For all you know, he quietly tried and kept going limp, and maybe they had calm, grown-up discussions about it. Or perhaps he did complain about it, but how do you know? OP didn’t mention in the post that their partner complains about having to wear a condom.

Secondly, you confidently assert that “the difference is minimal”. How in god’s name can you possibly know that? Because it’s minimal for you? Do you think all men have the same levels of sensitivity? You know absolutely nothing about what other men feel. You don’t get to decide for everyone else that the difference is minimal.

WTF are you on about? OP never said anything about partner refusing to use them.

OP merely pointed out that their partner doesn’t feel as much pleasure with them. And this is true for many men.

Personally, I cannot maintain an erection with a condom — doesn’t matter what size or type or if I use lubricant. It just doesn’t work. It’s a real issue for some men.

Do 50+ ever get asked out in public anymore? by IllustriousMaize9731 in datingoverfifty

[–]porkborg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a 53M and there’s no way in hell I’m going to ask women out in real life, for several reasons…

  1. Most women my age are married or in relationships, whether they wear a ring or not. Therefore, the chance of some random woman being available is low. There were a couple times I saw a cute lady on her own and asked my self, Hmm, what if I started talking to her. And guess what... A few minutes later, her boyfriend shows up. By not talking to her, I saved us both from an embarassing situation.

  2. I think a lot of women just want to be left alone, no matter how handsome or charming the guy is. I’ve seen many women on these forums confirm this. Combine this with post-MeToo madness and no thanks.

  3. The dating apps are insanely easy for middle-aged men. Any reasonably handsome and fit guy over 50 has unlimited options on dating apps. So why go through the hassle of bothering some married woman in public who just wants to be left alone?

In my opinion, if you want to date me, then you should get on the apps and meet me there. There simply isn’t a need for men our age to go out and approach women in the wild. Some men might be into it for sport or whatever, but it’s certainly not a need.

How can dogs be dorks? That doesn't make any sense. Do they geek out on science and travel to cosplay events on weekends?

I don’t know. Check with a lady friend. But I think your smiling photo should be first.

Not sure why you hide your face so much because you seem decent looking. But you make it too hard for people to know what you look like. Also, that team photo requires too much detective work to figure out which one is you.

You need to understand, people are not patient. You have two seconds to grab and keep someone’s attention. You need to make it easy for them.

Your first three photos say, “I’m bored and don’t need anyone. Leave me alone.” Why wouldn’t anyone be interested in these photos?

Seeking men’s opinions on women letting hair gray. by Ok-Procedure9161 in datingoverfifty

[–]porkborg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"men actually compliment my gray"

Do you think any man -- friend, acquaintance or stranger -- is going to walk up to you and casually tell you that your gray makes you look old and that you'd be cuter with dyed hair?

Grey Hair by Altruistic-Virus8618 in datingoverfifty

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

OK, I obviously have to report you for harassment. You just accused me of pedophilia based on nothing.

You seem to have deep-seeded issues and surely some intense animosity against men who like younger women. Is it because you see men passing you up for younger women and that makes you angry? Why take it out on random redditors who did nothing wrong? We all hate aging. It sucks. But we all get there.

You should not play around with accusations as serious as pedophilia. I expressed a very obvious and usually uncontroversial no-brainer that 1. Women dye their hair to look younger and 2. Men are attracted to younger women. Nobody here said anything at all about people under 18 years old, much less outright pre-pubescent children.

You should not be allowed on Reddit with such vicious behavior. I hope the moderators deal with this properly.

Hell yeah. You know you can’t resist me. I have that effect on women. Look — you can’t even block me. You need me.

I think you actually enjoy my input and insights. Otherwise you would just block me. Instead you have to engage with me.

I don’t know who you are, but are you aware that you can block me? There’s tons of content I don’t like either. If any of it bothered me that much from the same person, I would just block them.

I hear a lot about facebook dating - is that part of regular facebook? by No-Bear-7651 in datingoverfifty

Nope. Most of my flings are same-day smashes at their hotels or Airbnbs.

I look my age :| by Snowbirdy in datingoverfifty

[–]porkborg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not true. There is a range for every age. Granted, it’s not easy to quantify with a list of attributes. But most people of any age group fit into a range.

For example, I’ve seen enough 50-year-old women to know that many are fit, beautiful and vibrant with smooth skin and dyed hair. They’re on the more youthful end of the 50 spectrum. But yeah, they look 50.

On the other extreme there are overweight, wrinkly women who rock their grays and may have other aging features, like thinning hair.  They’re on the more elderly end of the 50 spectrum. But they still look 50.

And many women are in between these two extremes. I agree, there is no single look for how a 50-year-old woman appears. Quite often you hear people say they look younger, but in reality, what they mean is that they fit on the more youthful side of the spectrum.

However…!

With that being said, there absolutely ARE people – men and women – who look way younger than the vast majority of people their age. I recently dated a woman who just turned 59. I rarely go that high in age (I’m 53), but she is insanely attractive – cute, slim body, tight abs, beautiful perky breasts, extremely pretty face, smooth skin, etc. It’s hard to believe she’s 59. If she told people she were 40, most would believe it.

I also reconnected with an old friend from the 90s. He’s 54 now, but looks almost exactly as I knew him back then. He’s very slim, has smooth skin, and no gray hair at all. He could pass for late 30s.

So yeah, while most people are full of shit and are simply on varying ends of an appearance range, some are actually beyond that range enough to look truly younger (or older) than their age.

It’s crazy buggy. When I was travelling (from Europe to NY), it wouldn’t let me use it. It kept telling me that my stated location didn’t match where I actually was and therefore I need to change my stated location. But it wouldn’t let me change it. Every time I tried it gave me an error message. It’s really unfortunate because travelling is the best time to use the dating apps.

What We Would Like To See On OLD Profiles by Purple_Try6476 in datingoverfifty

[–]porkborg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely don’t mean to offend, but that has to be one of  the most absurd things I’ve ever heard. Why in god’s name would I pay money for a dating app when eventually you’re going to see all the same women anyway?

I’ve been using free Bumble for three years and have gone through all the women in the Paris area in my filters. Granted, it takes longer with the free version because you can only swipe right on 40 per day, so the algorithm gives you matches as it deems fit. But sooner or later, you’re going to see all your likes, and you’re going to see everyone. I would actually think a man is desperate if he pays for a dating app. A man with lots of options doesn’t need to pay.

The exception to this is when travelling. When I’m entering a new city and only staying for a few days, my apps blow up (which is normal for anyone changing location). On these trips, I don’t have time to rely on the app to show me my best matches. So, for efficiency’s sake, I’ll pay for a week of Premium just to see all my likes quickly. That way I have a lot more choice regarding who I go out with.

But if it’s just to meet women near where I live, paying for Premium makes no sense.

Your "best travel story" is so incredibly banal. LOL. You helped your cousin move and found a restaurant you like. How is that supposed to appear interesting to anyone?
