I would like to clear something up since I am fairly new to this dating site thing. I am an older gentleman with quite a bit of experience in many areas. I have gotten some “likes” from a few attractive young women in their 20s and 30s, even though my desired age categories were higher than those ages. If you are in your 20s and 30s and you are trying to get a date with me because I am probably more experienced than those young guys you have dated, then you have come to the wrong guy. I am a refined gentleman who enjoys some of the finer things in life – a good golf course, a competitive game of pickleball, a walk with the dog with my music blaring in my headphones, going to the beach to watch the sun come up or go down, finding a great seafood joint or steakhouse, or just watching “the game” with a significant other. I am not just another hot object to be used for your every desire. Sure, I might be more emotionally stable than the guys your age, or I have more financial resources to my disposal, or I have more knowledge of history events, or that I can name who coached Ohio State to the 2002 National Championship, or that I have a vast and varied music playlist from all the way back to The Beatles and up through Panic at the Disco, with some sprinkled in Sinatra, Toby Keith, and Emimen songs. But I refuse to be belittled by being just another arm-candy object for some young hottie in a game of Trivial Pursuit with her besties on a Friday gamers night just so you can win. And don’t even try to pick my brain for financial advice or how to repair something around your apartment. Just move along and let me try my hand at the more mature ladies who are a little closer to my age (40 and up please; possibly 39 if you're a real knockout!). Some friends consider me to be somewhat intelligent and charming, some consider me to be a nice person with old school etiquette and manners, while some find me to be somewhat witty and fun to be around. I must confess that I have never been on a magazine cover As The ***iest Man Alive, but some women have found me to be somewhat handsome, but surely not drop dead gorgeous. No, I am just pretty much your standard guy with a few small wrinkles on my face and some grey thinning hair on my head. Like Toby Keith would sing, "If I am your type of guy and you’re my type of gal", then just maybe we can get together and discuss life over a coffee and see if anything is possible for the future. All My Best, Mark
