Aww; you still think this old gal has got it?

I will add that some people also are stressed. We aren't all born with a silver spoon in our life. Hard work, not being able to afford to eat right, enduring very harsh conditions/weather, stress which certainly affects your sleep, etc. So, I wouldn't blame genetics as the only factor. For me it isn't how one ages in looks that matters to me as I take this all into account. I more interested how someone ages mentally as despite how well we care for ourselves; looks will and do fade with age. Then what are you left with? I will take brains and personality every time over looks but that is just me.

LOL, I am biting my tongue in saying what I really want to say but yeah; he is missing something.

Yep: their "weightlifting" is that they "wait" 'til the commercials to "lift" their beers to drink. Speaking of: here in the US on a Sunday for the NFL football games: the entire series of commercials are for cars, fast food & erectile dysfunction pills. LOL!! If the men would get up OFF the couch for exercise/activities other than driving their cars to the fast food places they wouldn't NEED the pills! Sighhhh.....


LOL. Yeah; I have met my fair share of guys that are "less than active". I had a date with a guy and met him at a coffee shop and as it was summer I had a tank top on. All he could say "I can't believe how muscular you are". Needless to say; I never saw him again as he felt a tad intimidated. ha ha

Hmm, I am Canadian and I am pretty sure North Carolina is in the US. LOL

LOL. I really throw men off when I talk football, home renos, or the newest power tools that have come out. I usually do leave them speechless as they are shocked that a woman would know about these things.

LOL; Haven't met a man yet that can pick me up or make me feel protected. Most guys are shocked by the muscles I have as a woman but then again I do weight lift where as the men I meet don't do much more than sit on the couch and drink beer.

Yeah; I don't get why people lie as you always get caught. Makes me lose faith in the human race sometimes.

Hmm, dummies about sums it up. LOL

Actually; I am 5'8" and I dated a guy 5'2". I thought the height would be a bit of a problem but tried anyway. He got intimidated by my height so he stopped dating me but no hard feelings as we are still friends.

I don't think anyone can define how a relationship should run its course. I think communication is important but I also think respecting someone's privacy is also very important too. Some people think if you aren't 100% open that you can't have a loving relationship where as others don't need that open book policy. It depends on each person on what they want and how they deal with the relationship as we all are different. I agree though, that no one belongs to another person as we are not property.

I don't know about the States but here in Canada; the biggest problem is overcrowding and the teacher can't possibly teach properly. Our teachers here used to have a break in between classes but they took that away and now they have to call another teacher in just to take a pee break. My friend is a music teacher; yet she is teaching English which is a waste of her talents and although she can teach English; its not her strong point. I have noticed though that kids that are home schooled seem to be smarter, more active, more disciplined/well behaved, and even more social than kids in public school. I have several cadets that are home schooled and they excel way beyond those in public schools. Maybe more kids need to be home schooled.

Nope; I never run out of new topics to talk about. I think that is partially because I am always trying to learn new things. I will give the person a chance to break the silence but if not; then I will.

Oh divorce is caused by giving a person a time to cool off and not by forcing a person to talk which results in arguing, yelling, calling each other names or saying hateful things.

We have a seamstress that is supposed to sew on our name tags, patches, and do alterations but unfortunately the seamstress is across town and very slow to get things down. So, it has been outsourced to me as I also am a seamstress. Just for sewing on a few name tags; I made over $300.00. So on top of the great job I already have; I also get to make extra money doing the sewing.

Actually we are still hiring. Had a few people retire and looking to expand our teams.

Being around a younger guy just makes me feel even older; like a grandma. The only one that can make me feel younger is me but really I just act my age but stay active. I have hung with 30 year olds and they love to stay up all night to party. As well the maturity is greatly lacking. So for me; know a younger person would only make me feel like I m cradle robber but to each his/her own.

This I agree with. I have dated men who lacked in the looks department but had great integrity. Personally; I won't date a good looking guy because they usually lack personality.

I am happy that I am wearing my first diamond ring and best part is I bought it myself; so no man attached to it.

I met a guy that rambled on how he served with the Canadian military but he did not know that I also served. When I started asking questions about where he served; I busted him as a fraud. He was pretty embarrassed when I told him he was a lying A-hole as I actually did serve. LOL
