I'm recently divorced and have no desire to get into a relationship until I'm mentally in a much better place then I am now. No guy needs to hear my venting about the male species! On the other hand, after a non-existent sex life the last two years I'm very interested in a FWB. I'd love a weekly meet up with a nice guy who's in the same boat.
.honestly if I had to choose, I'd say I'd like benefits with no friendship thanks. And very little talking
PP here. If there were temporary male birth control, I would have used that as an example. Is OP or is OP not engaging in a long, involved lie to her DH as opposed to communicating with him? That is the point of the analogy, not the permanence of the birth control method.
I have girlfriends who are not getting any intimacy with their DHs. They have talked, cried, threatened but the guys are not into sex. I have talked to them at length about my sex life and have turned them towards sex toys.
Just accept that the average man is useless. This is what I've come to figure out and I'm happier when I just pretend I'm a single woman again and have to do everything myself. I want my child to grow up with two parents, so I won't divorce my husband, but he's not much help. He can't even say that he's the breadwinner and so I should take care of everything else. I make 4 times his salary. He can't understand why some women don't want to get married. I think it's pretty obvious. When you have to do almost everything on your own, there really isn't much point in having a man around. It's just more work.
I'm 58 and I would never go to these types of bar scenes. Just too depressing. I hate old being around old desperate balding men. I would much prefer to be among younger people.
My favorite part is not that she is hates being around old desperate men. That would be just fine.
It is that she hates being around old, desperate, balding men. So balding = desperate for this wonderful lady.
If a man were to say something like about women this board would light up with indignation.

I would seek out a church with a high population of singles and/or over 50 year olds, single or not. It's a safe and genuine way to meet people. Not suggesting to begin going to church as a way to meet men, but to broaden your social network - which can help you to meet men! Of course this suggestion is only for people that are interested in being part of a church community, I realize that many people are not at all interested in this.

However, if you hear about better places to meet and greet and I am open to it.
Which online sites have you tried?
