Ok here is something i learned about dateing after the age of 45..

1-as i get older the less B.S. i will put up with in a Relationship with a women for iam to old to play let me guess what behind door number three game with you ..

2-it a simple question in my book when asking a lady out for a date it yes or no ..not maybe or i have to think about when answering my question about do you want to go out ..

it a simple question with a simple answer for you the women to answer the question and stop giveing men the like they are a Wells Fargo loan officer giveing me a loan from there bank ..it yes or no and if no then no hard feeling and iam moveing on and not asking you again..

3-this part has been said before this statement before.. ..i date you and you only ..not you and your three best girlfriends and there moms and your mom and everyone female in your office ..

i can not stand your socalled girlfriends and how they inject themselfs into the relationships with there own brand of BS into the subect of us dateing because they are flat out misable and can not stand to see someone else happy in there relationship ..


so i know that it going to make someone mad but it the truth as we get old the less b.s. we will put up with in our life..

I figured out it was all about confidence. And you are right, after we are older we have no patience for the bs. With our age also comes that fact we are more stable in our income and housing, you need to be careful not to be taken for a ride.

No idea when it came to me. Finding the right woman for me there was no list of attributes I was looking for. I was looking for the woman who accepted me as I was, and did not try to make changes in me. Why is it women feel the need to "fix" you?

The ones I really hate are the ones that show you one face while you are dating but when you get tied up.. it seems like the other face appears (that I didnt know anything about). Go figure...

That's what I was wondering. I figured this stuff out before I hit 30. Most men get tired of the mind games that women play. We'll pursue, but if a woman plays hard to get or employs those silly "rules", we won't play along. There are plenty of fish in the sea.

Everyone plays games. The point is not when you learn it, but that you learn it. Some people never learn it.

I'll go beyond the OP's sentiments. I am tired of putting up with anyone's BS in life - male or female. I call them on it (oops) and move on. Maybe that makes me a biatch, but that's how it has turned out. My dad's death affected me a lot this year. But I do understand, at the same time, how frustrating it must be to get the runaround as usually men do the asking.

If I ever meet a decent man, well, maybe I'll have another date in my life. If not, oh well. Had it with men's games as well.

Women need to realize, men can not read minds, that is all.

Yeah, heard that one before. Men need to realize that women don't want to hurt other people's feelings, hence the maybes, I'll check my calendar. It's tough for everyone and I think more so at an older age.

I mean, NO, is a hard word to say. Recently I invited a woman to lunch. Her daughter was visiting so I said Great call me when you can, have a nice visit. Nothing was set up. Nine days later she leaves me a message she doesn't want to do lunch, but we'll talk. Well, no, we won't. I never returned her call.

People, and both genders, can be equally odd. The point is not to take it personally and just move on.

I had a friend who involved herself in everything! I was afraid to bring men around her because of it. Oddly enough, she was married too and claimed to be happy. Thankfully, I dumped her friendship. Life is so much easier now .

I'm a 24 year old woman and I already can't deal with the b.s. you mentioned in the opposite sex.
