Beware of Certain Advice

Quote From: ograhmna

Well...motivation is a key ingrediant, but I am not sure what will motivate me and why.   Partly because, although I am very social, civically and professionally active, I don't seem to meet (let alone even see) appropriate, available (in every way) men.  I've met some nice men on the internet, one of whom has become a good friend, but nothing else has developed with anyone else.  Whats a girl to do???  It makes me literally cry and feel sad, although I don't feel lonely.  I just would like to have more personal and intimate dimension to my life.....and my father's advice doesn't seem to make any difference, you know....don't cry over spilt milk, do something about it!  Wise words, I just don't know what else to do. embg
     Well I'm a male over-50 myself and have always considered women to have the upper hand in this.  All they need to do is to hold still and show some interest in a man and they are already moving.  Seems easy.  Like flowers women need to look and smell nice.  Men are required to be as busy as bees.
     A man must approach the woman, say the magic words, perform the rites correctly--it's a nerve-racking  job after having learned to live without for so long. A 20 year old can afford to make mistakes but not an over-50.  Us over-50 guys are careful people.
    However the worst thing I could do, and you too for that matter, is let a father guide you.  People in our age group become presidents, we climb mountains and build empires.  If your father hasn't done enough to bring you up out of this then he is probably doing just the opposite--holding you down.
    I used to think that if I didn't land in bed with a woman the first night--like in the movies--then I had failed. A teenage James Bond fantasy.  The thing, I believe, is not to give up. Meeting all the interesting people in the world should be fun.  Slam-dunk, movie style relationships aren't realistic.
    Just keep on with it.  Over-50 guys are careful. Don't let our hesitancy put you out of circulation.

I can see where the person is coming from as far as being single for as long as she has been.

Being married a few times and unfortunately burrying a couple of husbands due to illnesses, I'm not giving up.  I just wish that the "players" out there would shut the he** up and leave me alone.

Especially the young ones or the married ones who are always asking about my "sex" preferance or trying to get me to view their webcams so that I can watch them jack off.  How stupid is that?  .  I'm 59 and have no time for their nonesense.  The iggy button works well for me.

As far as the match dot com and other groups to find a mate/partner-in-life/companion, those are nothing more than a waste of time.  You young ones, keep your mouths silent and thoughts

to yourself.   You haven't gotten this far yet.  There is nothing you could say that would teach a lot of us oldtimers.

 

If a man really knew what he wanted, he wouldn't be wasting women's lives with their game playing.

 

Finally last but not least, the Dr. Phil show is ok.  Problem he has is that his show is directed to

the younger people.  He has never had the elder generation on his programs.  Not even one time.   Isn't that a bit discriminatory?

 

Common to the ranch, Dr. Phil.  I'll show you and Robin what real country living is all about.

Bring your camera crew too.  Wear boots and jeans.  None of that fancy stuff you wear on the air.

lol....

 

Sincerely,

Okla
