I was touched

Quote From: kodiak57

I have also tried the internet dating sites and the mataches that I have been given are far from what I expected. I dropped Match.com, True.com and American Singles.com, because the matches were unbelievable. I am a 58 year old man and have been told I look like I am in my forties, but the women I have chatted with and met leave a lot to be desired.  I read the comments from the women posted on this site and I can tell you it works both ways. Photos that are posted are either several years old or Glamore shots. I have been divorced for two years, my life was torn from me by my wife of 33 years. She told me that she just didn't want to be married any more. She had moved out of the house a year prior to our divorce. I was faithful all my married life and we managed to raise 5 great adults that are pretty well balanced. I am the type of man that likes campionship, I work hard and have accomplished many things in my life. I write poetry and have been working on writing a book, however I have not been published as of yet. I turned to the internet to see what it had to offer and what a joke that has been. The women I have met in person were totally different than their profiles and they  didn't look like the pictures posted. Through this whole experience I found why several men do look for younger women and one of the reasons is the older women seem to think old. I'm sorry ladies if this offends any of you, but I'm not dead and I like a lot of men think sports car when you are thinking Buick Park Avenues. I have dated younger women and the ones I have are definately not interested in my money, I'm not rich, my divorce took care of that. But I think young and enjoy my life to the full. Three times I have been close to death, once when I was a toddler, once in a car wreck and the last one when I was divorced and managed to get a bleeding ulcer. Now I look at life a whole different way and use each minute and second to the limit. My children all love me and I can be satisfied with that if thats all there is left for me in my life, but if the right woman comes along and there is chemistry, electricity and maybe a little magic I may change my mind. By the way thinking young isn't the same as acting young, so I guess thats why the women I met on the internet don't quite do the trick.

Hello, 

  

I was very touched by your message.    Please know that there are some decent and honest females out there, and I put myself in that catagory.    

  

My marriage was broken in two also and it has taken me 3 years to try and move on from the heartache and stress.   Each day brings a new challenge and I have learned to just take things one step at a time.  I have tried the dating online thing too.   Haven't gotten the courage to post a photo for the world to see so I have had few responses.  I realize that posting a photo will give me more opportunities but the online dating idea is still very new and awkward to me right now.    

  

Have a great day.   It seems as if you life has turned around for you in a very positive way.    Savannah is a beautiful place to be.   Enjoy. 

  

Cindy

I'm a 44 year-old woman and look like I'm in my early 30s.  So many men seem to think that women age in dog years, while they somehow barely age at all.
