men at age 16-30, need sex
at 30-50 need companion
at 50-80 need rest


I think from 16 to 60 men want sex and a companion. Above 60 (most) men want a companion and sometimes a little rest. Well, that describes me well enough! laugh laugh


It's thinking like this that encourage women in the mid 50's who want a little more than companionship and rest to become cougars slaphead laugh

Kidding aside... I agree with Cat, this is a chance for man to speak up about what they really want in a relationship. I'm curious as to why that's so difficult for some/most men? Maybe it's just the setting... what you speak in public, such as the forums vs what you say in private?

In a way it's also helpful when a man can't come up with what he wants & needs in order to be happy. That's a man who hasn't really spent much time on self-development & growth. You usually see more educated men quite able to express this, and they do it too.
I already knew when I saw this topic that nothing much would come from it, not like 'our' topic which men can actually use to glean good information from.
Sometimes I also feel that men who might know are reluctant to share it as in a way they (still) lack confidence and feel it's not masculine to express it. Or not in this setting here. One could wonder how much the dynamic of the group defines how a man's behaves and if this is the same for women. To be honest, I think not. Of course everyone is sensitive to that, but we admit that we sometimes feel intimidated by someone or a group/clique. I don't think I've ever seen a man do the same, not unless he's incredibly confident.
May sound judgemental to men, not meant that way. I like exchange about such subjects. And agree it's a shame that most men rarely contribute to such discussions other than by lashing out because they feel (wrongly) emasculated.

Yes it is a shame. I admit there are times, especially when I first joined the forums, where I felt more intimidated in a group setting. I realized it's actually a great place to explore my own wants and needs, and to become more confident in speaking up about what I believe. I struggled with that in face to face interactions and doing so here has helped me grow in the confidence necessary to speak up in my face to face interactions.

I still have a ways to go, but am so much closer to defining what I truly want and need as a result of some of the discussions here, and even those that lacked substance. The joking has helped me too, in the lightening up arena.

Lasting chemistry is a good catch-all way of putting it. My preferences as previously described are perhaps a brief way of putting it, I'm confident that people can fill in any gaps. There was no sudden change at the age of 60, more a gradual change over life. I hope that makes sense. Basically I'm a very happy person fully enjoying my life. Just about to go out to a tea dance with lots of good people.

Life's good! happy happy happy

WRONG!

Iā€™m dating someone in his 60ā€™s. But I got a good one so he wants
to love and be loved,
someone intelligent,
someone with the same warped sense of humour
Someone who enjoys the same things and has some of the same interests,
Lots of Sex
Someone to cuddle
Someone who also likes their alone time too.
To give and get respect
To make each other feel special
To bring out the best in each other
Someone who enjoys fun and lots of laughter
And the occasional rest from it all laugh

That's not all men. A real. Man with a beautiful mind would treat a woman like. A queen.

I have seen you change and grow a lot for sure!
Also, not certain when you got here? When I first got here in 2013 there was a horrible clique that was ruling the place. A lot of backlash, lots of digs in the forums, and lot of chit going on 'backstage' via PMs.
I was victim of that, for being rather outspoken I guess, and for not conforming to that clique that was run by some old cow. No one dared go against her or her clique.
Someone who liked me at some point warned me about the chit she was spreading about me via PM. Hearing what it was was quite shocking!
Not sure if you were here then as well, but that setting was very intimidating. If it hadn't been for a couple of others that I liked and liked me, I would've left.

Since I have already poured gasoline on and taken a flame thrower to most of my bridges on here, I'll give you ladies an honest answer!!

To even consider a woman for a relationship, she must fit 1 of 2 ideals. She has to be someone I respect and can treat as an equal. That means she is intelligent, self confident, and a success in life. She must have her financial house in order, her life drama under control, and can be trusted to make great decisions for the best interest of both of us. She physically takes care of her health and appearance. She doesn't need anyone in her life but would enjoy having an equal partner in her life.

Then there is the other extreme. She listens to what she is told, follows directions as best she can, and asks when a decision needs to be made. She respects me as the leader and is comfortable in her place in life. She is at least teachable!

Given that I will probably never be in an actual strong relationship, I'll settle for a decent companion and sex partner.

Thank you!

I joined as piscesmoon02 in November of 2016 right before the US president election. I didn't join the forums until after Valentine's Day in 2017. Some of the strongly spoken members were intimidating for sure, haha. And yes, I did see some getting picked on for speaking their minds... which made me want to keep quiet all the more. I too got picked on, figured it was just part of the initiation period that most newbies go through. Kind of like when you join a sorority group, they want to see what you're made of and if you'll stick around.

It's sad when other's feel the need to do that... maybe they have nothing better to do? It doesn't bother me so much anymore. I just consider the source and if it saves someone else from being picked on then so be it. So long as I remember to remind myself not to take things personally, others attacks don't effect me adversely... although it does still hurt a little.

I'm glad you stuck around, you're a wonderful woman and bring a lot of good stuff to the forums. flowerforyou

That bacon explosion sure looks good!

Car isn't bad but I'd rather have a 427.

I once had a kit car copy of a 289.......
