I have an electric bike in my living room right now. Some things to do on it - but in no particular hurry...:D

I have an old Jamis Dakar MB in my BR. Two Trek road bikes in the hallway. Three more bikes in the driveway.

Don't ask me how many motorcycles I have.....lol. At least none are in my house.....yet. :)

:) I didn't see anywhere that you insulted "all men"... and I don't think you need any advice from anyone here regarding dating... I'm sure your instincts will be all you need.

Learn to read. She's bitter about "digging through a dumpster looking for the least smelly and broken thing you can find. I was surprised I had a really good date last Saturday. ....isn't a quasi-hobo, and never once said something blatantly stupid."
What sort of person would date someone with with sort of nasty entitled attitude? 3 times married? Ya don't say!

Dixie 10-18-2023 05:03 AM

Awww.... Your post perfectly illustrate how difficult it is to find decent men. A hit dog will always holler!
And since you admonish Heel n Toe for his reading, I'll point it's YOU needing to read my first post again. I never say that dumpster is filled with men only. You added that part. You want to be offended. SmileWavy

Hold on there, Chicken Lips.

You have criticized just about every one of us here for being old.

Get off my lawn and it's time for my nap.

cockerpunk 10-18-2023 06:50 AM

to be fair ...

if you see all of life's lessons and experiences as "digging through a dumpster" ... dating is going to be pretty hard for you. the 35 years olds i know who hold this belief about dating sure hate dating, im sure another 25 years of life experience doesnt make the dumpster any cleaner, to them.

personally, i think dating gets easier, and more fun the older i get. and the people become more interesting and more fun because of the lives they have lived. the more diverse and strange the better. my life certainly gets stranger the longer i live. i enjoy it more and more.

911 Rod 10-18-2023 06:53 AM

Why is it that the same few on here start saying nasty things like they can't help themselves?
They also go on PARF and act like total asshats.
Maybe they need to get laid!

It's blatantly obvious that you, sugarwood, haven't had any horizontal refreshment in a long, long while so maybe you should consider your own place in the dumpster ratings and maybe think of ways to improve on that.
Just a thought.

I think Dixie nalled it on this post...

"I'm grateful to get asked out a fair amount, but it doesn't change that dating over sixty is like digging through a dumpster looking for the least smelly and broken thing you can find"

This applys to both men and ladies ...just a observation of the obvious...
Many broken people not nessarily of their own doing...doing the best they can and hoping for the best

Baz 10-18-2023 06:01 PM

Regarding the dumpster remark - yes I realize it's just a metaphor.....but this is why I mentioned grocery stores as a target rich environment.

I'd take that over going out to bars.

That said - I've met, dated, and had relationships with plenty of chicks I met in a bar, and most were really good quality.

But when you get up in years I think things are all different in terms of "sifting through the dumpster".

Tobra 10-18-2023 07:15 PM

When I went to podiatry school the Safeway down by the Marina was fantastic. Apparently, there was a dearth of fit, heterosexual men in San Francisco. Would go mountain bike riding in the Marin Headlands and stop off at the grocery store on the way back to get something to eat. You could not walk into the store and make it all the way to the produce section without being accosted. Must have been the cycling shorts or something.

I lived in San Francisco Marina District in the ‘80s, had the same experience, then I moved to the Castro, and had the same experience again but slightly different.

Tobra 10-18-2023 09:49 PM

Yeah, the gay guys were always very forward, but who is going mountain bike riding in the Castro? Not this guy. I was always cutting through the Presidio and going across the bridge to the Marin Headlands. There was a pretty sweet trail to the Marine Mammal Center, close to the coast. I wonder if that is still there. Nope, moved it to Sausalito, better tourist access I guess.

I had some big thighs back then, big as my waist. Made it tough to wear long pants.

What would the equivalent of the Marina Safeway be for our OP? I guess perhaps such a thing does not exist, hardware store maybe.

Even I think that's pretty cool. Especially if the car doesn't leak and someone else washes it.

Just like parking spots. The good ones are taken, and what's left is handicapped. Haha

This is not really true, at least in my circles. I could have dated/married 2 very successful, wealthy women in their early 60s, one retired living a better life than most. Both are young at heart, VERY active, both have ski homes in VT and spend their winters there as well as trips out west for actual powder.

One we are very good friends, she's way too vanilla. Other just lives too far away to make it real. We see each other at parties which is nice and I'll go down to Newport now and again to see her.

I will agree that as women, and men, get older they get boring and have no sense of adventure. But there are some gems out there.

Edit: I'm 55, will be 56 in a month, identify as 20s, and pass for 45 all day long, so that helps a lot.
