The big question is why you say 'but then, no". Was it eye contact? An offer turned down? A clear difference in physique? There's so many variables that it's hard to project success or failure here. In general...relationships that work well over time can evolve - and for me....the longer a...
Robecology replies on Mar 16, 2019:
@TomMcGiverin I agree; and have (as we've discussed) been guilty of waiting for someone to change....who tried...but then fell back. So your point is well taken. But allow me to rant - self-talk, really...seeing if what I say makes sense to me. @UUNJ was pointing out that there was "zero physical chemistry".... All I was suggesting is that sometimes someone comes in to our lives who we work well with, become friends with...but have...as she said zero physical chemistry. If the person chooses, they can take that lack of chemistry as a lead, or hint...perhaps....if they want physical chemistry....it's time to do something which will take their physical appearance to the next level. When I met my most recent - now ex - lover...I politely pointed out that there was little "physical chemistry"..but that she could change that. Maybe I shouldn't have suggested that.... But it did lead to 12 years of a fairly fun relationship. Now I see that I didn't inspire her enough to change...was it "fair" to expect her to? Probably not. How do you define "fair"? But it's nice to know that some people think you're inspirational. If she had, in. fact, stuck with it...got in shape, stayed in shape, kept up with my need for fitness and fun...that would have made my life complete? Which reverts back to your point...as you suggest... our mileage varies. I'm living alone...learning to accept that. Point taken.

@Dew25 I concur...but as a retired teacher of 45 years, I definitely met a mess of kids stuck in the "I'm too good for this school" attitude...which fits right in with the D-K effect. They were smart...but they come from a traditionalist (read #religulous) family...so they "knew it all' and still failed. It was a blind arrogance, like MacArthur Wheeler's using lemon juice to be invisible....(from the video).

You say "online may not be the most productive way to find one." but what are the alternatives? Bars? Social groups? On line sites let you set up a bio. It lets you post pics. You can learn hundreds of things about someone before you even contact them. I think on-line dating is a vast improvement over the original "personals" in newspapers and magazines... and still far superior to the "bar scene". At 73...I've decided that here's my best shot at meeting someone. By reading about what they think on a variety of issues. By checking out their pics. how far they live, etc. Far superior to all the "paid" dating sites...and no #religulous issues here!

Bad. The early Jazz musicians would say that a guy could really "Blow" if he had a good sound when playing the horn. If he couldn't play very well then they would say that he was "Sucking" on that horn. That's where the term "Suck" as being something bad came from. He plays that horn so poorly that he must be sucking on it. He doesn't blow, he sucks. origin (sexual) often a reference to fellatio. Person A: Your girlfriend really sucks. Person B: Yes she does!

Not only do they list that they want younger women...they also list that they want the woman to be thin or petite. Although I am not overweight, I take offense to men who are that rude and shallow (and I keep looking).
Robecology replies on Mar 15, 2019:
Wait...what? Your major criticism about us older men is that we also want a "woman to be thin or petite"? It doesn't appear that you're overweight....so I don't understand the criticism. (BTW love the devil-image...may I copy it?). Sure...men who value fitness want a fit and physically attractive partner...and I'm guessing you wouldn't even consider dating a guy with a gut....so it goes both ways...and should! You obviously value staying close to an ideal weight...why shouldn't men seek the same? ...but do keep avoiding the "rude and shallow"...that was a major complaint about my most recent ex that I had for her!

@Freedompath I didn't get that from the statement... He did mention he has a wife, children and grandchildren ; "he was the primary caregiver of his wife and wanted the chance for them to resume their life together. Yet he was on the record as living many years of a lavish lifestyle... Manafort took steps to conceal his foreign lobbying work, laundered millions of dollars to fund a lavish lifestyle and then, while on house arrest, coached other witnesses to lie on his behalf. He deserves all the time he's getting. His family will be well provided for; I'm sure.

Do what's best for you. I've lost weigh (finally, after decades of being overweight/obese borderline) through portion control.

@DotLewis So you support what I was saying...'I cannot eliminate things or whole groups of thing , from my menu. If I do, I end up feeling "deprived" and after a while I give up.".....ditto....don't you think this contradicts "I am better sticking to boring but adequate food"...I support NOT eliminating things or whole groups....just watch your portion size. I have to remind myself - especially in the evening....to let hunger be my friend.

Robecology replies on Mar 12, 2019:
@ToolGuy C'mon, ToolGuy....there you go again with extremes.... "But market systems NEVER evaluate these things before we rush ahead with them." You're kidding, right? The evaluations are ALWAYS what slows innovation from making marketing realistic - for almost all products. Fortunately, we. are learning more about the corruption involved in evaluations...because you finish with an accurate comment... "we allow markets to determine the outcome of the technology, we get the plastics industry and other fossil fuel technology that is choking the planet." ....this is obviously the results of a rush to market for products that haven't had enough longitudinal (long-time) testing....or we can trace back to their "evaluation" as being shoddy, hasty, and obviously biased.

Robecology replies on Mar 12, 2019:
@ToolGuy; you're being presumptive and insulting. I didn't "fail to understand the technology". You failed to understand the alt-energy efforts. I read the link. they themselves said "a largely theoretical technique in which CO2 (and potentially other greenhouse gases) are removed directly from the atmosphere." "safe and long-term CO2 storage cannot be guaranteed, either in geological formations where leakage is a risk (see CCS factsheet1) or in products using CO2, where carbon is likely to end up back in the atmosphere one way or another" so #1 I didn't fail to understand it. I understand it. It's a waste of time and money. #2; It's not so much about making fuels as removing CO2. Cleaning our oceans will be the best way to facilitate removing CO2. #3.We don't want more fuels. If it's cheaper, faster, and/or easier than producing methane from animal waste, I say it will make a good interim source - until we go fuel free. But the process appears to be expensive and complicated; and the few fuel companies that showed up for the conference turned down the offers to adopt it. Give it a rest, please. I'm not impressed...and let's be more respectful of each-other's POV. http://www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2018/05/direct-air-capture/

Robecology replies on Mar 11, 2019:
@ToolGuy Fuels need to be burned. Scientists call this "exothermic" or heat-releasing reactions. They also are "oxidizers" gulping pounds of Oxygen per minute, and exhaling pound of CO2 per minute. And I'm sure you know by now the heat trapping power of CO2. EV's do much less of that; and with alternative energy (like wind generation, water flow generation, or solar-photovoltaic) becoming "endothermic" or heat absorbing, more and more EV's -every day - are charging without burning fuels. Right now, with EV's depending on 70-80% fossil fuel, their efficiency translation comes out to from 85 to over 100 MPGallon equivalent of fuel burning. Soon - within decades - we anticipate that we can also end nuclear heat (also exothermic) and geothermal (again exothermic) energy. The point is we need to stop adding CO2 and other heat trapping gases as well as heat to our planet. It's true; dinosaurs survived without seeing snow nor ice...but if we continue using fuels we will overwhelm our atmosphere. and we could wipe out nearly all animal and plant life on land within decades. We're warming our planet at an absurdly fast pace. It might result in Runaway global warming. Even sea life would be endangered at the present pace. https://www.apnews.com/71ab1abf44c14605bf2dda29d6b5ebcc

Point taken! If they had invented smarter batteries a few decades ago....we'd have a lot less global warming/climate shift. The key to the EV explosion was the big jump in battery technology. We're now on the horizon of yet another battery change to a non-liquid, solid state battery that won't even require cooling, and can be smaller and charge faster. https://www.nasdaq.com/article/new-rechargeable-battery-could-accelerate-ev-adoption-cm1009891

It's about MAGA, if I may be so bold as to borrow a horrible phrase... America is 45th in health care, and 32 in higher education success. More Americans go bankrupt paying health debts than all other nations combined. Have you been to a hospital lately? Have you noticed how many doctors are foreign based, or speak with accents? That's because America no longer makes the best and brightest. I'm also sure you've heard about the student loan debt issue. Yet America has over a million Deca-millionaires. Folks that make $27,000 a day. Do I feel I have a "right to their money". No. Do I feel that to "Make America Great Again we need to tax the uber wealthy a few more percentage points to bring us back in to world standing? Damned right I do...and you should too.
