Topic: Why is it so hard for a older women | |
---|---|
I think it's hard to find love because there are just not enough eligable men and by that i mean men who look after their appearance rather than let themselves go. I'm not saying that that applies to every older man but a vast majority. Most older women still care about the way they look, but unfortunatly most men over 50 cetainly dont. It's a case of this 'this is what you get take it or leave it' and i certainly would rather leave it. I can't say that has been my problem with men. I have certainly met a lot of guys that have the beer belly problem but I still went out with them. Its more the other way with me that even though I do take care of appearance; it never seems to be enough. Guys are visual and if you have a couple of pounds; or a wrinkle, or a bit of grey hair; they won't give me the time of day. Of course its not all the guys; but with me personally; its 99.9% that men don't like how I look. So, what it comes down to is why even bother to try and date if you just don't measure up looks wise? A couple of extra pounds isnt a big deal but over 20 extra pounds Then you need to fix your diet and get some exercise i think Ive been doing that P90X and its a great program I was 15 pounds overweight now im finally getting a 6 pack and not the beer kind lol These guys with a beer belly seriously need some help i think as for grey hairs and wrinkles that comes with age and is nothing to worry about |

I went to my doctor and was worried about being overwieght according to my scale. My doctor; smartly said toss the scale out the window. He said worry about inches; not pounds and I had lost inches. I bike, do kick boxing, and weight lift; so yep my weight is up. I went from a size 22 to a size 14 but my weight is still high. My resting heart rate is 50; I have low blood pressure and low cholestoral; yet my weight is still high. Men are so stuck on the pounds rather than the whole body. Now that being said; I had a date with a guy that was freaked out because I had muscular arms. I said yes I do have muscular arms as this happens when you work out. Due to my car accident; I can't do P90X but I do well with what I do and if a man can't accept how I look the the hell with him. I can gladly live my life completely on my own if I can't be accepted for who I am. |

YOU are a lady of strong convictions & goals. Your style is your own & fits you perfectly. There are men out there that appreciate LADIES like you. Stop worrying about the jerks & relax. Never know what you might run into. |

I am a cna. We have the registered nuts, The little peon nuts, the certifiable nuts almost and then we have the real nuts. ![]() ![]() Being a little nuts really helps when working with the elderly. You have to have a sense of humor on that job, don't you? I take it you work 2nd trick? I always did & put them to bed. That's cool that you're a CNA! When I was still able to work, nurse aides didn't have to be certified so I guess you could call me a peon. Yep! I was a very tired peon but I'll always treasure the memories when I worked in that home! ![]() my daughter is a CNA are they hiring where you work? |

well I'm not perfect either (no chit ![]() ![]() and perfect women probably want a perfect man, and then some imperfect women want a perfect man, why bother? you are hoping there is a perfect women out there that CANT get a perfect man so she will SETTLE for imperfection and be happy the rest of her life that she had to settle? or are you hoping for a fairytale, beauty falls in love with the beast and her love is blind to imperfections? |

You just haven't found the right guy yet. one will come along who will win your respect and admiration and who will appreciate you for your many qualities. It will happen when you least expect it. You are kind but I am logical and realistic. I won't be accepted for who I am and this is just how life goes. People are brainwashed to believing that a woman or a man should act or behave a certain way that is acceptable to society. The average person simply can't think outside of the box or comprehend that a person can step out of a traditional role that is expected of one's sex. I realize some of this behaviour is nature but more its we are conditioned by others. Its evident of the way people post. If a man is sensitive; he is weak; if a woman isn't overly emotional; she must be a cold heartless person. People play into their roles that have been outlined for us but I just can't see myself doing that. There is so much more to being a person than just being half of a couple. |

Its simply just a discussion about my own experiences for this thread. I don't expect anything to change in my life and accept that I will remain single. |

You show a unique outlook to life, that can be appreciated by men that are secure in themselves. I would wager that the men that CAN"T appreciate you, are insecure in themselves. Many men haven't learned to appreciate strong women. (a point I think many other strong ladies will agree on) I learned to appreciate this quality. I believe that behind many successful men is an equal or better LADY. Couples like this compliment eachother & play to eachother's strengths. Like always....OPINION |
