The older I get the less women my age respond to inquiries. When first divorced (gave time to recover) I'd occasionally get responses and go out on a few dates. Most didn't click so we went our separate ways. Two I dated for a while.
Every year I up the age range I search in by one year. Now I haven't gotten a response in two years. I assume this is normal. Though I haven't participated in the 60's group I do check topics that are posted and once in a while I respond. So I have a question:
For those of you in the 60's do you run into the same thing? At least for the ON LINE DATING idea have those in our age group give up?
I'm beginning to believe that meeting in person is the only way to meet someone but social activities are limited.

MY COMMENTS: By the time one is on a dating site long enough to learn who is there, is they may like the person, etc. they have been bombed many times by the low life's that seem to hang out in dating sites. Not only that but some have encountered contacts that are very direct and insulting. Example: how long do you think it would be before you were willing to give sex.
Things like that just turn people off and after a few encounters of this low life kind, it's easier just to play around on the 60's and banter with friends. Not only on the dating sites do we encounter these type individuals, but thinking in real life they may tend to operate faster. Met one guy and we had coffee. Heck, within 30 minutes he was asking "may I hold your hand". Then started the finger walking up my arm. GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME YOU LOUSE. Another date was short lived because the guy asked "since your son lives with you, what do you do when you want to take someone home with you". Meaning go to bed with of course. I suggested he was moving way too fast and that wasn't my style. His reply was "not getting any younger". MY reply, well you'd better be getting your a** on home because you're wasting your valuable time. I walked out.

I understand that dating sites contain lots of men who have little or no control of their hormones. Of the two women I've dated only one of them and I got to that point and it took a while. Because I'm a bit shy she, more or less, gave a gentle nudge. For those of us (men) who aren't animals it's frustrating that other men exhibit no respect to a woman.
I'm not "dead" in this area but I don't want that kind of image or reputation. At this age I want a friend as well as a romance partner. 65 is to old to be playing games.

It's a sad world we live in to encounter so much of the fast moving and insulting manners of those who looking for something other than a good relationship and decent person. The net only gives them free roam to act out their fantacies. Sort of a quick trip straight to the point without having to do it face to face. So, this encourages and destroys good people's intregity.
The best way I can think of to make contact with someone whom you find interesting is via private message. No texting. Even if latest technology it's sort of impersonal because of abbreviated words and short conversation. Sort of boils it down to just a few words and can't get to know someone in abbreviation to see if there is an interest.
Rec'd one lately and all it said was. "How you doing". My reply "great" and nothing more came through. I was just playing anyway because with only three word contact I wasn't interested. Now if it has said "Hi, find you interesting and would like to correspond more", that would have grabbed my attention.
Just highlighting my thoughts on this.

I do not recall the last time I had a genuine contact.
~ They don't read my profile but are sending me a message based on the picture.
~ Right now I am not looking for a partner but prior to that, if they read my profile they ignore the fact that I do not want an online relationship and they continue to mention distances doesn't matter. (aka: They aren't listening.) Unless you are local and I can meet your and see you and know where you live and work then there is no way to get to know if you are for real.
~ Then the one guy that was local, could not seem to get his chit together to even meet me. I mean, get some balls and set a date and time and show the heck up!!
~ I will admit years ago I did have guys that did meet me and some I dated more that the initial meeting and it was nice but just didn't click but of late, it's all down hill. ~ Maybe it does have to do with age.  ......... with the exception of the guy just looking for a FWB/NSA. Funny, he was genuine, up front and if I was into that kind of life relationships it could have worked. *LOL*
My turn off: is when they message me and call me pet names right off the bat and send x's and o's, kiss and hugs. To me it's the online equivalent of pawing all over me and hanging on me.
~...... my two cents.

I hear what you're saying. 
I stopped all that silliness by going invisible. 
The thing I dislike the most is when they would come in your inbox with all their vulgar trash talk right off the bat like every female was a who're just looking for a one-time screw or someone to join their threesome.
Sheesh.... I never needed more than my husband to give me a "threesome" plus.

I dont see men on date sites as that much different than in real life. I ran into lots in my life that were after one thing. Spend time with them thinking there might be something and sooner or later it got around to all they were after was sex. That is why I liked bikers. Up front..wanna screw? NOPE! Fine..then lets party!
When I was on here at first got tons of young guys after me. No I am not a cougar for your convenience. And not going to move you in and support you like a son either. Nor give you money.
I know about the ones who see a photo they like and message. Hey dip did you EVEN read my profile. Didnt think so.
So as time went on, especially after I connected with Joe, I modified my profile more and more. So now I think I am perfectly clear. And hardly ever get bugged by idiots anymore. Now when a guy messages, it is chatty and no more.
I am on here to chat..guy or gal. If we can have a nice convo, great. If more...read my PROFILE!
Dating is hard at any age. And the pickings get slimmer with each passing age. And we get pickier. Been there, done that, not chancing it at this age. And many hold onto dreams of finding Liz or Rock. And wear blinders when they look in the mirror. lol

Orz ... you reminded me. There was a local guy and he and I dated for about 3 months. Then I started to feel as if he was attempting to manipulate me and we had a falling out and it was over. About a year later he got married about about 2 years after that he passed away. If he and I had lasted I would be a widower by now because he was looking to get married.

Not so, Dave.
I know you have heard the saying "for every action there is an equal reaction".
If one were to respond to every negative action the only thing they are receiving is an equal negative reaction.
If one is giving out a negative action and one ignores that action there is no negative reaction.
Some give out negative actions in order to get a weaker persons negative reaction; that is their way of "yanking others chains" to get a negative reaction.
That's what this sites members refers to as "stirring the pot".
Don't want to get her back what you give out? Don't 'stir the pot'.

One guy wrote and explained to me about Online Dating. He calls some women who "visit" his profile "LTM's". "Lie To Me". He said their credo is: "Tell me what I want to hear and spare me the truth!" So he calls them "LTM's". He said some profiles here on "Online Dating Sites" are known to be "Truth Free." And Online Dating Sites are a "dishonesty-rich environment! The LTM'S lie about their profiles, they don't care if they find a match. They just want to see how many people "visit" their profiles! Its the Ego Thing! Pretty Sad for those who are really "looking" for a match. I thought his explanation was Brilliant!

On-line dating is a falacy.
On-line "dating" is a game which pits multiple fake profiles against each other as teams to see which team can out-score the other by accumulating posts in various threads and then totalling the "score" at the end of a specific time period.
The least fowls, most shots 'wins' the game and bragging rights until the next game.
While one is posting during these games hackers are tracking your computer pathway in order to access your files, invade your system, and remotely control your online data.
The hackers access your off-line accounts, spoof your cell phone or other electric device in an attempt to destroy your computer system. This is a "kill" and a high score achievement.
The video game: War of the World's is a visual example of this gaming style.
It's all fake to "suck in" unsuspecting internet users.

I know you have heard the saying "for every action there is an equal reaction".
Basically a law of physics. However, the statement says "for every action there is and equal and opposite reaction".

Goes both ways. The lard bucket is looking for Barbie OR Ken. I crack up at the 500 pound trailer trash with either 4 kids by different dads or an alcohol and un-employment problem who thinks they are a hot ticket item. Or the millenials who got kicked out of the house finally by fed up parents looking for a free ride. I seek a cougar. Wrong..you seek a mother or daddy.
