If I put up a profile on a dating site, I could have as much action as I can handle. (meaning, things do not rebound as fast as they used too). I could have a date that leads to action nearly every night.

There are two differences between me now (50's, divorced) and me back then (20's): money (I can afford to take someone out) and confidence (if she says no, no big deal, I can take the risk; back then, I was terrified of rejection).

I do not want to bed a different woman each night. I would rather meet one person and get to know her. I want someone who is confident in who she is, is financially independent (does not need my money), and is not crazy. She must be no drugs, no STD's, and no smoking. And she can not support the current administration. She has to be smart. My divorce was because my ex and I could not have a conversation. Oh, and if she has children, they have to come first. Similarly, my dd comes first.

I do not care about race or ethnicity.



And I do not do crazy.

When we were dating, I thought we were talking about things, but it turns out, it was more me lecturing on the thoughts. Her world view is so different than mine. I think about the physical sciences. We met under Comet Hale Bopp. I would tell here were to look, etc. She seemed interested. We would talk about the dynamics of the atmosphere, until I realized her interest was more in the personalities at the Weather Channel. She is not capable of a real intellectual discussion. I know this sounds snobby, but I do not find (for example), the Royal Wedding the least bit interesting. She does. She does not find the eruption in Hawaii interesting: I do. I want to know why some people here Laurel and others hear Yanny. She thinks it is stupid.

I thought Weiner was in jail.

Instead I meet good looking interesting guys who want to take me out to nice places and then have sex within several dates but never commit. Sounds like that is what you want. I am 41 and never been married and don't have kids. Have been primarily dating divorced dads the past year and that is what I get. I'm ok looking but nothing spectacular.

I'm late 30s, and this has been my experience as well down here in Atlanta. This is the worst place for dating. Is DC any better?

Relationship forum: for people interested in relationships.

But it doesn't have to be monogamous ones, or long ones, or hetero ones. Why are people so certain they have the definitive definition for each forum? Color outside the lines a bit; it won't hurt!
