meh.
i think it's fine to end up alone.
just get a dog.

I'm pretty much resigned to ending up alone, anyway. And I'm OK with that, because I'm not going to settle for yet another domesticatrix trying to run my life.

Still, though, there's a part of me that wonders what it would be like to find someone who would accept me as I am. Isn't that what separates man from the animals -- our ability to imagine the impossible?

I would think a lot of younger guys are looking for a mommy; so this is why they contact me. So tell the girls you want to be their sugar daddy or just their daddy.

Yep, I am pretty much in the same boat. If a guy can't accept me for who I am; then the hell with it. I would rather be alone and be the person I was meant to be; rather than pretend I am something I am not just for companionship. I have too much self respect for myself.

Well, technically, by younger I mean "without kids," which is confusing because "without kids" is not really a number.

But in my extensive studies of this issue, I have found that there is a sort of cutoff point, an age by which it seems every woman on every dating site already has kids (usually at least three of them, followed by the mandatory "AND THEY ARE MY WORLD," followed by all the terrible things she hopes will happen to you if you're not into her and her kids as the inevitable "package deal").

Unfortunately, that age seems to be about 16, which is not very helpful for most of us.

Alternatively, I can still hang onto the slim hope that there could be someone out there, of legal age, who has not yet had kids, for whatever reason (she's a nun, the lower half of her body was eaten by a shark, she was abducted by aliens and sterilized, etc.), but I think this is will only be possible to find in a younger person.

True!

As for a comment on the topic.....I find I only attract under 20 and 50 plus now....I would really like someone in my age range LOL

also unlikely as a younger person she will want to find a man to have kids with, probably wants the little nose blowers by next week - ur outta luck and oopsssss gotta go I see my archangel on a cloud....everything looks white and the light...the light

And yet YouTube is full of 20-something women who have made an infinite number of six-minute videos about how much they despise the idea of ever having kids.

Where are these people in real life?

Maybe these videos are hoaxes? Because it's pretty clear that there are no women out there who are capable of imagining a life without reproduction. It's just what people do, it's what we're all "supposed to do," you know....

and some cannot have kids

and some choose not

there are all kinds of people in the world - I would not choose a man based on his parental status - if I loved him it would not matter- I would want him - not his ability to procreate - not his desire to remain childless (whichever)

personally I love the little fryers
as long as they belong to someone else

you have to go topless first and post incessantly in the intimacy
forum saying you will do anybody of the desired sexual orientation
above you and below you and that goes double for three-ways.

and for god's sake stay away from the religion, politics and cougar threads

Well I get a lot younger emailing me....but then again I am an old fart or so I have been told. Maybe we should switch the emails and I need the 'grandma' ones....

OK, so I have seen literally (and figuratively) hundreds of posts in these forums where someone makes mention of the fact that they are constantly being contacted by much younger people here.

I find this puzzling, because -- as always seems to be the case with the sheer egregious perversity of the internet -- this never ever ever happens to me.

I get a lot of profile views, but a large percentage of these are inevitably from people who are old enough to be my grandmother's older neighbor. I never actually hear from them. Most likely, they died while attempting to read my profile.

The ones who do message me are slightly younger than the previous group, but still old enough to remember when there were only 36 states.

I do get a disproportionate number of e-mails from 22-year-olds, but these are always scammers. Those don't count.

So, what I'm wondering is this -- how does one go about being contacted by someone so "much younger" here? I'd really like to know....!

I'm pretty much resigned to ending up alone, anyway. And I'm OK with that, because I'm not going to settle for yet another domesticatrix trying to run my life.

Still, though, there's a part of me that wonders what it would be like to find someone who would accept me as I am. Isn't that what separates man from the animals -- our ability to imagine the impossible?

The thing that puzzles me is that they ALWAYS start out acting like they're perfectly in line with my agenda. And I, being a naive and gullible idiot, always figure "Maybe this one is different, let's try it and see what happens!"

And three months later, she suddenly decides "I NEED A BAY-BEE!!"

"Accept me as I am" -- that's the key. Apparently, there isn't anybody who can do that for me.

there are tons of what ifs,
but that's why imaginations are great.
just go wild.
p.s;
humans are animals.
