I am doing online dating

[hfojvt]

136. I pretty much gave up when I was 43

And women my age have no chances whatsoever?

I don't buy that. The last woman I asked out, when I was 50, was over 55, and I had a 57 year old co-worker who I was hoping would come to my 50th birthday party and dance with me.(She went to a bar instead, and I bet she could have taken a guy home with her if she wanted to)

So is this guy the object now, since apparently he needs to try to get to know women that he finds old or unattractive ?

I would sort of like a woman to look good according to MY standards. Are those the same as contemporary standards? (Maybe) Does that make me 'entitled'? All I said, probably much like this guy (since I can NOT read his mind) is what I want, and NOT what "I think I deserve to get".

And there is not some sort of universal agreement among men anyway, no matter what the TV pushes. I had a girl I liked at work, and thought she was quite attractive. She was cleary gaga about one of our married co-workers. He said he found her unattractive. She cut about 15 inches off her hair, and he thought she looked better (but still not good). I thought she looked worse.

Like I said, there is not universal agreement.
