Men come on to me all the time, not knowing I'm in a relationship. But when I'm not in a relationship, the men tend to disappear. Anyone else experience this phenomena?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-68464968973262578912011-09-19T00:19:54.117-07:002011-09-19T00:19:54.117-07:00It seems to me that using age to disqualify a pers...It seems to me that using age to disqualify a person as a potential fit is no better than an employer using age to discriminate against a candidate without first finding out what the candidate's qualifications are through a phone interview and then if that looks promising, an in-person interview. If age indeed is a deal breaker, then it should be stated up front. I know I would not be interested in someone that shallow, either as someone to date or to hire!!! <br /><br />Because I do look younger than my age, I get asked to show an ID all the time and young men have hired me in the workplace telling me they thought I was like their older sister but couldn't possibly be old enough to be their mother. Romantically and sexually, I have been involved with men 18-20 yrs younger and older than me. Either way, the man always thought I was younger than he. So while I don't believe in lying about anything, I also don't believe that you need to let the online world know how old you are just because the question is asked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-44959785217681649012011-09-18T20:19:12.269-07:002011-09-18T20:19:12.269-07:00Before you know whether a new partner is safe to h...Before you know whether a new partner is safe to have sex with, it's prudent to use a condom. Then if the two of you want to continue a sexual relationship, you can both be tested for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases -- and show each other your clean bill of health. It's a whole different world these days.Sally Wendkos Oldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04987139235542898094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-32780052929601183692011-09-18T16:27:37.311-07:002011-09-18T16:27:37.311-07:00<>

They can probably also get away with asking for a full body photo for the same reason. I doubt a woman could. The woman who got no responses, the answer is in the question above yours. It's rough for us older women.Erica Manfredhttp://www.heshistory.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-23255575195580519452011-09-18T15:24:28.035-07:002011-09-18T15:24:28.035-07:00Here are my answers to a couple of the questions:
...Here are my answers to a couple of the questions:<br />1. It is not okay to lie about age.<br />I have recently had that occur. A woman who stated in her CL ad that she was 55. We had a nice date (Sta.Rosa Air show.) but at the end, she said, "I'm really 65, but I can pass for 55, can't I?" Of course I agreed, but by lying she was exhibiting several unflattering things. She's ashamed of her age. She's insecure. She does what many vendors do, lie about her product. (So she considers herself a product to be sold.)<br />I much prefer a woman who is proud of herself at her real age. Who does not have to lie. Who does not consider herself a product to be sold.<br />7. Just ask--but you admit that body type is more important to you. Nothing wrong with that as long as you are honest with yourself and her. It may seem shallow, but we all have our preferences. I am always clear that I won't date a smoker or a political/cultural/religious conservative. My choice.Davidnoreply@blogger.com
