I really miss spending time with that special someone. I'm looking for a true love. I have an uncanny ability to make you laugh! I am a sucker for romance, and have a great sense of humor. I enjoys the touch that comes from someone who has a deep caring for me. I am a very affectionate person who love amazing soft kisses and holding hands walking, cuddly up with a blanket looking at the sunset. I would like to meet someone very loving, caring who is interested in a long term committed serious relationship. Someone special to capture my heart and knows how to handle it with care, one who will cherish me and be willing to share life’s greatest joys and sorrows, just as I will be there for her too. Someone who’s willing to spoil, pamper and love me unconditionally. I would love to meet an amazing woman that has the ability to affect my heart like no one else can. I just hope that somewhere out there will be someone who will look past my disability to see me as a warm and loving person. I’m a touchy-feely type. No problem with public displays of any sort. I love to tease each other. I love romantic candle light dinner, snuggle up watching the movie with a special person, go to the beach for lunch and window-shopping. I love to giggle, very bubbly, have a huge heart, caring, and sensitive to people's feelings. I would love to meet the woman that can make me laugh, make me feel excited to see her or hear her voice on the phone. I have a great personality and fun to be around. I’m very easy-going, silly, fun lover, very goofy at times, animal-lover, friendly and spontaneous. I think anything would be fun if you enjoy being with that special someone. I like being surrounded by family and friends. I like smiling and like the people around me to smile. I'm looking for one woman who appreciates the man with whom she is involved, who loves being treated the way a woman should be treated. Someone that won't lie to me or cheat on me, or hurt my feelings. A first date, would be a casual meeting somewhere nice with great conversation and some moments of laughter, no pressure..just enjoying each other’s company. I hope you take a chance on getting to know me better. Anything more you'd like to know, feel free to ask.

I laughed my ass off at this

Default Getting married

Most men nowadays just want to F around. They're into what they call "poly." That's when you F around with different people and you are open about it with your "partners."

Some men bamboozle the wife or girlfriend into it. The idiotic woman, trying to hold on to a guy who isn't worth the dirty gum stuck to the bottom of her show, goes along with it, knowing in her heart that she's going to get hurt. Of course, needless to say, she is hurt, she feels used, devalued, and becomes unhappier and depressed. Then, if she has the guts to leave the creep, she does so, but by then her self-esteem is beneath the floor and she is extremely emotionally injured. I've heard several women recount these horrible situations they allowed themselves to get into. It's nothing more than emotional AND physical abuse from the guy. Notice I didn't use the word "man," since in my book, a REAL MAN behaves with honor, knows how to avoid temptation and does so for his own honor and to please himself that he is in CONTROL of himself and of situations, and he is monogamous.

Nooo to plentyoffish. A friend of mine used to be on Fling (casual sex only website) and he knew a lot of people that were also on plentyoffish or left fling for plentyoffish, so that sounds like the opposite of what you're looking for.

Eharmony seems like it's more about finding someone to make a connection to and get married to. Or so they say!

So... You are in your late 30's and looking...

If you even show a small ounce of pressure to marry he will sense it.

If you are pressed for time in order to establish a marriage and have a baby before your clock breaks then he will sense that as well.

Sorry but most guys around your age are probably either uninterested in raising a family or are past the stage of raising a family. I mean almost done raising children.

So...you have to find someone in your shoes that want what you want. It won't be easy. You can find one though. Just make your ideas known to your friends and workmates. They can then relay that information to other men who may ask about you in private.

Hope it all works out for you OP.

eharmony is that site. I have never tried any other dating site but I did date many from eharmony who had the mindset of settling down.

Default Why guys don't want to get married...

Here is why guys don't want to get married (or even be with ONE woman or be monogamous):

1) women are giving up the cookie as easily as if they were just batting an eyelash.

2) this has increased the number of available vaginas, and other body parts for sex.

3) the women are acting like whores, except that the real whores (the ones who charge) get paid for their time and trouble, while the ones who just give it up for free are only adding fuel to the problem of guys who don't want to be with any one woman, don't want to be monogamous and don't want to get married.

4) women are acting more like men - the idiots are even paying for the guys on dates and treating the guy out! The name for a guy like that is: a gigolo! A gigolo is a guy who takes advantage of women financially.

5) the natural order of the world, where men are INSPIRED by a woman to profess to the world that she is his and that he is hers (referring to you as "my wife," "my fiance," or "my girlfriend" instead of "this is my friend," or "this is Mary"), to protect her and to provide for her, has been completely turned upside down - and WOMEN DID IT TO THEMSELVES!

6) the idiotic women who spearheaded the Women's "Liberation" Movement did NOT liberate you -- what they actually did was to ruin the lives of the next generation of women, to make women even more enslaved to men (by women having to compete for an ever-diminishing number of men who want to be in a loving and monogamous relationship), and to devalue one of women's most important attributes (to provide love, caring and emotional support to her male mate).

7) the even more idiotic Supreme Court (both federal and state) decisions that make it impossible for a state to shut down the porn web sites, sites for cheating spouses and other cheaters who are attached although not married, and that also make it impossible to prohibit nude or semi-nude pictures on just about every web page on the Internet.

Regarding dating sites to meet a husband, why spend your money on those sites when those very same web sites allow MARRIED MEN (the so-called "separated" ones) to join! The sites that do that (which is all of the ones I have ever visited to check out that issue) are just STEALING women's money because they are encouraging cheaters by allowing MARRIED MEN to be on the dating site! And that is completely COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE to the reason that most women pay for online sites!

So, ladies, get a grip, get a reality check AND CLOSE YOUR DAMN*D LEGS! Do *NOT* give up the cookie at the drop of a hat! WAIT until you know whether the guy is in love with you or not and whether he RESPECTS you or not!

If all of you keep your prize shut, these guys would soon realize that there is no one to F with except the prostitutes, which the guys are too cheap to pay for! In addition, since most of these cheaters are just in it for the ego boost of having a whole bunch of women running after them and wanting them, a prostitute isn't going to satisfy that egotistical desire because the paid whor* is doing it for the money, not because she's into the guy. SO...if you stick to the plan and NOT F with these guys, a good number of them (especially the ones who are lazy at pursuing women for sex, feel uncomfortable initiating the sexual "hit-on," but who take the ones that approach them and offer the cookie) will soon have to go back to the good ol' days of COURTING, ENGAGEMENT AND MARRIAGE!

Women, DON'T BLAME JUST THE GUYS. Yes, 80-85% of them are creeps, a cross between an F'ing sewer rat and a sewer cockroach; however, YOU have encouraged their inexcusable, inappropriate, unforgivable, unpardonable behavior! YOU HAVE THE CONTROL if you just KEEP YOUR F'ING LEGS SHUT!

Women, stop your phoney, plastic boobs; stop showing them all over the place. Those plastic bags are old news. All of the other women are showing them as well. That means taht you have NOTHING UNIQUE to offer. The ONLY UNIQUE thing is: YOU! Your personality, your manner, who you really are. That is the ONLY thing that DISTINGUISHES YOU from the next whor* sleeping around with every guy at the club. Act like a lady! Make yourself admired! Make the guys respect you!

Having said all of that, then, the bottom line is: if women want to get married, they all have to help each other by using the law of supply and demand to their advantage: DECREASE THE INVENTORY OF PUSS*ES!

I'm new here, 60 yo male, widowed, want very much to be married again. I'm trying eharmony, seems promising although I met a couple of superficial types but I guess that every site has them, you can't kick off the "send me a picture (and I'll stop communicating with you if I don't like your picture)" idiots but eharmony does seem like it might have good women of my age on it.

I'm from NY, all I can talk about are the NY women and Plenty Of Fish/Big Beautiful People Meet/Senior People Meet/Marriage Minded Meet re NY women 55-70 in my experience have some of the most looks/height prejudiced women in existance. If they want to get married or even have a date, it seems like they'll take a tall handsome man or else be content for their same picture to hang out on the wall there for 5-10 years.

Plenty of fish, okcupid and all those free sites are absolute rubbish. I have not tried match, but eHarmony is pretty decent and the reason is that it's expensive. Keeps the riff raff out which is a good thing as you meet only like minded people. A woman would not spend that kind of money unless she is serious about meeting good men. The sluts can meet other men at the free sites or perhaps at clubs or wherever the hell they go.
