As a guy in his late 30's I've dated women from 21 up to 36. The 36 year old was great. She was one of the most easy going and self-confident women I'd ever met. Plus she had a great face and nice rack. Too bad it didn't work out, though. The 21 year old had a great rack, too, but she turned...

I've been away from the forum for the last several months, so I just came across this post. How did the divorce proceedings turn out? I went through a divorce back in 2000. My marriage came crumbling down in late 1998, and I spent 1999 trying to put myself back together. I was in...

I don't mind that I'm not a spring chicken anymore. I think I accomplished everything I wanted to as a young man. In my late 30s (I'm 38), I'm really trying to come up with some new goals; something else to shoot for in middle age. I put my career first, second, third, fourth. In other...

Yeah, it happens to me too, although with some of them, I get put into the Friend Zone after we go out on a date or two. It's almost as if they're getting my hopes up and then deliberately bash my head against the rocks. I haven't conquered all my AFC tendencies, so I couldn't tell you what's...

I do remember what life was like when I was working on my PhD. My gf at the time was VERY accomodating and life was good. :D But you guys are right, but the more I think about it, the more I think I'm in the Friend Zone. What a horrible place to be. :cuss: Well, I've got nothing to lose...

"One time, at band camp..." :crackup: But seriously, I don't know if there is a connection. But it's potentially good news, since she's got a hobby (or career) that she enjoys enough to pursue, and she's not just a bump on a log.

I'm a rAFC, so I haven't been so bold to make any real move, sadly. So, no, I haven't slept with her. :cuss: While I don't want to make excuses to rationalize my chump behavior, she has been bogged down the last couple of months with a major hurdle in her graduate studies (she's working on...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I missed my chance to strike while the iron was still hot. And, my people-reading skills are way off, so that's why I'm stuck. Part of this is because of a HB8 who was really into me about 6 or 7 months ago, to the point that several mutual friends noticed and told me...

I think most of you would agree with me that if a woman is interested in you, she'll make time for you, right? But lately, I've gotten the feeling that the opposite isn't necessarily true. I mean, just because she makes time for you, it doesn't mean her interest level is really high. For...

Growing up doesn't mean growing old. In your 30s you acquire the wisdom you wish you had in your 20s.

I didn't realize that commiting marital infidelity is a characteristic of being a DJ. Jus' wonderin'

I'll be in this situation in a few months, too, so I'm interested in whatever feedback the community will give. But, Zulu, I think you made major gains in settling in your new location just by getting out there and meeting people. But for some (hopefully useful) advice, this may be a good...

Yeah, good post. This is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. The old adage, "nice guys finish last," may be true, but gentlemen are not nice guys, are they? No, they are gentlemen, since nice guys are AFCs. Anyway, it raises a question in my mind. It used to be customary for...

If you're just dating, then I don't think religion should be an issue. But since you're thinking about marriage, you correctly assume that the differences may become a sticking point. I agree that the kids should be allowed a choice, but at a young age, I don't think they are mature enough to...

I'm catholic and my ex-wife was presbyterian. She had talked of converting, but everything went to crap before that happened. But matters of faith were never the source of any conflict for us. There was no need, since there were so many other sources of conflict, heh. I also dated a...
