i've done marriage, babies commitment etc, it's MY time now A woman at 50 in the industrial revolution was worn out and ready for the scrap heap,but i'm fit, fifty, fiesty and ready to go !!! lol
well i think ive given up on this site as a means to dating, still like it for many other reasons but have joined another site for dating, just dont know if i should mention the bike,not sure if it will putsome people off, do you think guys who are not into biking would be a bit intimidated by it, would be interested to know what you all think, your prob all a bit taken aback that i would consider a man who is not that into bikes,but its more of a hobby for me not a lifestyle thing. Dont know if its an issue with the guys on here, do you def want a partner who is into bikes as much as you are, i know plenty of couples where the woman is not into bikes and the guy just goes of and plays with his mates at the weekends.... does it work the other way round?
why do you want a partner julie j? is it sex ?or do you really want a full time bloke in your life?? do you want the extra washing, stress, sleepless nights, family complications, childrens hostilities or what? I'm intreigued to know? why is dating so important?
Julie, if you end up with a guy who can't cope with you having your own friends and interests you picked the wrong man.
Some people have "joined at the hip" relationships that work for them, others keep their own interests and friends as well as joint ones. Either sort of relationship can work just as well as the other as long as both of you have the same view of what you want.
Here here lchick, its all about having fun and what works for you at the time.
i enjoy meeting up with afew mates and go for a play day on the bikes. then again it nice to go off with a partner for a camping weekend on the bike.
for myself i dont think of this as a dateing site more of a networking site to meet like minded people.
And the banter.
and as for washing, stress, children no not any more for me, and the only sleepless night i want is with a woman........

hey julie it doesn't put me of at that some women are into bikes i think its proper cool i am not bothered whether the next person i meet is into bikes or not none of my close friends are into bikes they all think i am crackers i don't care does that make sense i don't know
There's no reason it *shouldn't* work the other way around Julie... and
IMO, having separate interests make for a healthy relationship, so long
as there are some activities you like doing together!
The only time I've ever lived with anyone (for 2 whole years - weyhey -
check me!) that's basically the mistake we made... we ended up merely
house-sharing and leading completely separate lives. Our paths veered off in different directions.
Personally speaking, apart from those 2 years, I've lived alone for 22 years i.e. all my adult
life, since leaving my parents' place... I'd like the opportunity to
share my life with someone someday. Never wanted to have kids and now
can't.
What I DON'T like sharing is the man in my life. I have absolutely no
desire whatsoever to be the "other woman", yet some men appear
completely gobsmacked by this revelation, and act as if I should be
grovelling at their feet in gratitude that they should deem me suitable
as their bit on the side.
I like the concept of an equal partnership, forging a life together,
embracing each other's strengths and compensating for each other's
weaknesses... I'm not desperate for a snippet of attention when some
bloke's fed up of his missus!
aww WB you clearly want "the relationship" The grass is always greener you know, a "relationship " brings it's own complications, it's not what its cracked up to be, I had "the life" for 20 years and couldn't wait to escape!! I am now happier than i've ever been in my life, i'm free and that means the world to me! :-)
And you're right - that's what's good about this site too Julie - even if you're not in the market for "dating" as such, it's got a great social side to it and even those who have found success and met that special someone through it still participate... Best of both worlds
I've made some boss mates through this place and where many have tried and failed, it's basically thanks to Ricdude & Diamond Sabre that I've ended my self-imposed hermit cave-time They rock & I'm closer to them in the short time I've known them than I am to friends I've known for years.
but do ya reckon ill find someone who wont mind getting his pinny on and popping the roast in while i go out and play for a few hours, cos i know for sure that the little woman would have to put up with it.
The trick is to get to really like yourself. When your happy with who you are your a magnet for lonely people and the more you meet the more likely you are to find someone who takes you as you are.
Ok agony uncle phase over
Hope for the best,prepare for the worst and take what comes!
Remember, today is yesterday's dream for tommorrow!
Em
If I knew that LC, I wouldn't have stayed single all my life!
I'd reached 37 before I felt I'd met someone I could live out my years with... and still got it wrong (after having dated him for 2 years prior to moving in together!)
Mind you, I'm well on my way to becoming the nutty old bag at the end of the street with only her cats for company... half the neighbourhood kids are already convinced I'm a wicked witch... the other half reckon I'm a lesbian...
Maybe I'll just cultivate one of those images instead?
