Sex???? What's that?

@Larimar

He asked me to join him in group sex! I edited the post and added "group."

@LiterateHiker I guess I'm fortunate mine only wanted the two of us....well, that I know of. I did cut him off pretty quick by getting up and walking out of the coffee house.

Was he an interstate bank robber? Coulda been the same guy as me.

@Larimar Naw he only assaulted a cop.

I had a site do that to a number of “curse words” that refer to bodily parts and functions. Not sure why

Man, that'd be pathetic to censor a group of fully grown adults from seeing the word sex. Maybe they'd be less triggered if you referred to it as fucking?

@Sgt_Spanky

I changed the word to "s-x." Problem solved. Will do the same with "f-ck."

Thanks for the heads up on that one. I also see that your 100 has been changed to 0.

In a site that deals with personal relationships, I would have thought that words like "sex" and "group sex" would be de rigeur.

@Sgt_Spanky Now now, dear boy. No "fucking" please. Try "copulating" instead.
...
...
Oh, alright then, fucking is permitted!

@anglophone

Thanks for the heads up. I will spell out "one hundred." Ridiculous.

Probably not a live censor, just an algorithm. But why get rid of 10 and leave 0 instead of the full 100? What possible offense is there in the figure? Even in binary 100 simply equates to 4.

I went on this date once through PlentyOfFish, and we had lunch. She told me she was trying to get custody of her 15 year old grand daughter because the girl's mother, her daughter was in prison. Guess what she was in jail for??? Attempted murder!!! Yeah.....and guess who she tried to kill!!! HER!!! Her own daughter tried to kill her!!! No......I did NOT see her again.....wow....talk about baggage!!! I did meet this Italian woman too on POS. Gorgeous.....she was broke, looking for a sugar daddy......Her last name was Giancana and I asked her if she was related to Sam. She said he was her grandfather. Then she started going on that if her father was still alive, she would have had her ex husband taken out!!!......okay....do you want to hear some more?

Maybe Admin’s worried we’ll attract the wrong crowd to the site. Perhaps their are plenty of sites for that already, or it’s more accepted in the private kink groups, (being a prude out of the bedroon I wouldn’t know ).

I actually think it is much easier after 40. One typically has a much better idea of what you want, and more importantly, those things you won't tolerate. The target pool may be smaller, but it is much more refined.

So long as one has enough to eat and a safe place to live, life should be OK. You always have you.

Men just look at my photos. My profile is clear:

There must be fifty ways to meet your lover.

Hike a new trail, Dale
Climb a new hill, Bill
I’m full of joy, Roy
Come trekkin’ with me.

I’m lookin’ for smiles, Miles
Intellectually smart, Art
Love a man with wit, Mitt
Come set yourself free.

If you are a Trump supporter, hit the back button NOW.

I find the wonder and joy in life. The infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand, the joy of tasting a juicy, ripe peach. Intense, playful, passionate and determined, I have fun every day.

I love hiking to alpine lakes surrounded by white glaciers and jagged mountain peaks. After dark, I look up and feel awed by the glowing Milky Way and billions of sparkling stars. We all need more low-level ecstasy in our lives.

I'm seeking an athletic, intelligent man with a great sense of humor who treats me with respect and kindness. Shared recreational activities are a bonding experience for couples. That's why I want a man who also loves hiking. Although I'm a great cook, I'm not willing to do all of the meal planning, preparation and cooking. Everyone loves the magic words: "Dinner is served."

Loving relationships work best when we add a certain spirit, an attitude of goodwill. I wouldn't know a grudge if it mugged me. I miss the tender touch, laughter, conversation, intimacy, teamwork and fun of a committed, loving relationship.

@LiterateHiker Lol I didn't think it was the same profile as on here! Ok yeah you mentioned essentially everything I could think of that wasnt outright snarky....in a much better way.

Dang...I'm outta ideas. Maybe it's your town? You should come out to Texas for a few months. Hiking is big here. I'm sure you'll meet someone.

@MakeItGood

I usually date men from Seattle because they are often better educated, more liberal and more fit than rednecks.

Here's my joke about single men in rural Wenatchee:

If I wanted a good ol' boy, fat, Republican, tobacco chewing, gun totin' fisherman and hunter who loves his Harley, snowmobile and chainsaw, I'd be ALL SET.

@LiterateHiker hmm yes...well every town on Earth has its "rednecks". I think big Texas cities will surprise you. If you havent been, don't judge preemptively. I meet a lot of west coast transplants...and they are pleasantly surprised and love it here.

In terms of politics: It may be a red state, but Dallas, Austin, Houston were three large islands of blue in a sea of red in the 2016 election. Austin was blue! The state capitol! They all voted democratic, and heavily. The republicans here are constantly worrying about the state turning purple or blue.

Anyways, All I'm saying is, from my brief experience, Texas cities are attracting the kind of men you seem to be seeking.

Also, I'm trying to attract more democrats here. We need pragmatic city liberals to offset the crazy rural conservatives.

@MakeItGood

As a passionate hiker, Texas is too flat. I love the mountains of Washington State.

"A couple of observations:
-I am leery of dating either a psychologist or psychiatrist. These professions attract people with deep-seated issues. With a psychiatrist the level of intellect is impressive, but no thanks. Their issues are deep and will suck you in. ."

Bloody hell. Any other people you want to classify by profession, or perhaps you'd prefer to do it by colour, gender, age, race or culture. Stereotyping is stereotyping and it's a heinous practice to judge individuals according to the group they belong.

@Cyklone It is based on my life experiences, and those of a small number of people I trust deeply.

If I offended you, apologies. And no, I don't think 100% of them have issues. But I wouldn't put them on the target list, either.

Again, no offense intended.

@Mitch07102 Thank you. I've worked with people in the mental health field, nurses, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists It's not a job you do for money, at least in aussie, and you don't do it unless you're pretty stable and empathic.
There are ones I exclude from the target list as well, not because I think they're all bad but only because I play the percentages. Eg.anyone with a history of drug abuse.

@Cyklone Next beer's on me. I admire and respect your ability to work with those populations. I could not.

@anglophone, @hankster, @Sgt_Spanky

Of course I had great first dates. In 2016, I wrote in my journal:

Yesterday I had a wonderful time with a retired attorney from the Seattle area. We met through Fitness Singles. During our first date, we had some sweet moments.

We met at the Roslyn Café in the mountains, which was closed for fall/winter hours. Next door, a museum volunteer suggested two restaurants.

This led to wandering around Roslyn. At the bookstore, I asked an employee to suggest nearby hiking trails. We decided to walk down to the Cle Elum River at Suncadia, a fancy housing development with a lodge, restaurants, golf courses and hiking trails.

Hiking down to the river, it was windy and cold. Stuart carefully buttoned my hood under my chin. “Does that feel too tight?” he asked. “It’s perfect,” I replied. “Thank you.”

At the river, I led him over large logs to get close to the water, wearing a short dress, tights and low boots. We sat on a log, enjoying the sparkle of sunlight on the river as it flowed over rocks. “This is perfect,” Stuart said.

“Are you ready to leave?” Stuart asked after a while. “I’m having an ecstatic moment, mesmerized by the river sparkling when it hits the rocks over there,” I replied, pointing. Stuart respectfully waited until I was ready to leave.

Together we challenged the long, steep stairs, climbing up from the river to the ridge where Suncadia is located. The sun came out, bringing surprising heat. We laughed, shucking off our jackets.

With a lousy sense of direction, I got out of the car and immediately turned the wrong way. I spotted Stuart across the street in the bookstore doorway. Tall and thin, Stuart smiled and beckoned me with one hand: “Come here.”

“Where were you going?” Stuart asked, amused. “Were you trying to get away from me?”

“Yes,” I replied jokingly. “Not really. Just wandering, as usual. I said that, trying to cover my ineptness.” He laughed.

Our conversation was effortless. Stuart grew up five miles from my first home in Michigan. We attended the University of Michigan together, but never met. He is four years older. Coming from Michigan, his voice and dry humor sound like home. We both love art, hiking and music.

A dancer, Stuart sent me videos of professional dancers doing different dances in competition. I like the Rhumba because it is slow and sensual. Stuart plans to teach me the Rhumba.

“I want to be with you as long as I can,” Stuart said, offering me a cup of black bean soup before leaving. Good idea. I smiled all the way home.

@LiterateHiker Wait, I'm confused. I remember you seeing a guy named Stuart about two years ago and it ended badly. Is this the same guy?

@Sgt_Spanky

When Stuart 2016 is upgraded, he will have a sense of humor installed.

It's not the same Stuart.

Psychos......LIKE Donald Trump!!!
