Anyway, I know a few women in their early 70s who are still looking for a good man. A lot of the men out there are louts who won't help out at home, have alcohol problems, or they only want a much younger woman. But this thread has taught me why they want the younger women.
Duh. It's because the older women don't want sex and the older men do.
Women usually want companionship. Men want sex. That leaves the men going for the younger women and usually getting stuck with someone incompatible, often a gold digger. And it leaves the older women alone.
So glad I finally figured that out, LOL.
How about meeting somewhere in the middle?? Ha!! Having both is too much to be hoping for at this stage of my life. I have always been such a dreamer and yet, life goes on and there has to be hope; this thread may open some eyes.................hey dudes are you listening???
We generally split cooking dinner. I do T days (Tuesday, Thursday, SaTurday) and she does the others, with usually at least one ending up being leftovers or take out or HS band competition or football game (eating there isn't just convenient; it is a fund raiser for the band or team). I am actually a pretty good cook. I do prefer grilling when I can, but it really is a preference for food that is grilled not just an aversion to using pots and pans.
That is not bad.
My Dw cooks on Sunday and Monday [her days 'off' from her job], I cook Tuesday thru Saturday.
We breed pigs and poultry, and we do a lot of gardening. So we have a lot of pork, poultry and seasonal veggies.
This topic of sex after menopause sure hit a nerve with some. Might need its own thread. What is a reputation mark?

What's interesting is that we often have things up and end up swapping days, covering for each other and usually helping some pretty much everyday. It's more about primary responsibility than sole responsibility. When we shared without any such agreement, I felt like I did as much but didn't realize how much of a burden the planning is to her (deciding what meals to make to mix it up a little but be pretty sure it will get eaten). Keep in mind we still have teens; getting quantities right can be tricky.

Or if you click the scales in the upper right you can leave a personalized comment along with the rep. The funny thing is I have gotten a couple of those where someone repped me to disagree privately.
We're no longer living in Edwardian/backwards times. Women are free. We can make it on our own. We can work, own land and property. We can even have babies "out of wedlock", which was a career killer just 60 years ago. We are beginning to realize that we don't need 24-hour companionship...and the stress that comes with it. Marriage isn't the same "requirement" that it was decades ago, and many women are happy because of it. Men too. Not everyone wants a house with a white picket fence, a spouse and a couple of kids.
