I first posted in this thread and I leaned toward money, only as a pragmatic vehicle of sorts. We recently watched a movie with Mathew McConaughey called Interstellar and it's a couple of years older but in the movie it sort of deals with humans and love and dabbles around the subject a bit, anyone who's seen the movie can probably recall what I'm talking about. The movie showed that amongst all the science around us that we have something that is probably one of the most powerful forces in our human lives and that is love. Love is what saves humanity.

Love is the glue that keeps us together, all forms of love, romantic love, familial love, love for our friends, our community, our country, all of us.

Love is a force that just like magnetism is present but unlike magnetism it's much harder to quantify, but it exists, it most certainly exists. That movie really showed the power and presence of it and again... it's not something that can be placed on a scale or put into a beaker... it's probably one of the most powerful things that drive humans and for that I'm thankful, thankful that as flawed as we are, we have that utmost important thing that unites us, Love.....

Exactly! I have a decent pension and don't need or want a sugar daddy. I wouldn't mind having a male companion where we do things together as long as it doesn't get too serious. I wouldn't expect him to pay every time we go out either. I've thought about going onto dating sites for more mature people like "Our Time" but then I realize I'm happy without a man in my life so why upset the apple cart?

My work gets me money...

As for love...


Whatever happens happens.

I'll soon be in my 30's and so I'm at the point in my life where I would choose love. However, its difficult to find and it hasn't found me yet. Oh well, I enjoy being single for now
