No they don't. They make it better. The more women that have that attitude, the more guys appreciate the ones who don't.

Some men will specifically target recently divorce women, as they consider them fresh meat and an easy mark.

The movers and shakers of the society convinced everyone that sexual freedom is the way to "true happiness", so many women and men are out trying to find it. Sorry you prefer the old fashioned ways, but that's going to be hard to find. Plus, many men at your age are turn off to women, having been rejected by so many, or trashed in divorce. They don't feel the need for women anymore. Good Luck. You're going to need it.
None of this is really true in a global sense.

What is true is that like attracts like. Dysfunction attracts dysfunction. Bitter attracts bitter.

Emotionally healthy and available attracts emotionally healthy and available.

Well, Timberline might now think twice before he opens a door again. And if there is another women like her questioning it, he'll never do it again and then ladies like me will never get out of a car.

If you can't get out of a car without the guy opening the door, you are just as bad as the woman who gives him a hard time for opening it.

Both types of women make it better for the women who are easy going about this stuff.

TBH, I've been guilty of saying this. I wasn't being rude, I just didn't want to inconvenience the poor guy, given he had to pull the car out so I could get in. He was cool with it and we went on to have a fabulous date.

On a more practical note: OP, what sites have you been on? Have you noticed a difference at all between free sites and membership-fee ones? And what about trying a different church? It takes patience, and trying out different venues, both online and in real life. Have you tried any meetups or hobby groups in your town?

Mr. CSD is very much the same way and since the stroke, he has both hands on me at all times when I am getting into and out of our vehicle. It makes him feel more secure about my safety.

Maybe I am misreading, but you should have a full body pic and and a close up pic on your profile, else many men will not bother with you, and you will only get messages from men that spam everyone.
