I'll go up in age about 15 years. Down 5, maybe. ETA: No kids no matter what age. You mean you aren't desperate for that 61 year old guy with a record sized beer gut and no hair? Yeah, me either. And, at least online those guys seem to think I should be grateful that they have expressed interest. I already have a dad, I don't need another one. i have a plus 5 or down 3 rule. It means the pickings are far slimmer, as many of those men when women in their 20s, but I can live with that. No. I like my guys pretty metro. That description wouldn't work no matter what age.

It means the pickings are far slimmer, as many of those men when women in their 20s, but I can live with that. Interesting. I'd rather go down in age than up because I plan to live a long time and I want the male company. I'm OK with kids, especially older ones. Per the Dad thing, I think that's part of the reason older guys have never appealed to me. Most men I've met born in the 1950s or earlier have very different sensibilities.
I love my Dad, but he's a PITA to live with.

It's 95% the age.... I'm mean when it comes to age - I'll go +/- 5 years. That's it. MJ, about how old are you? (30s? 20s?)

It's not a rule, but if I do a search I go up 3 or down 9. Of course, I have a little more room to play with on it before I hit "too young" in other areas. My last partner was six years younger and could not really keep up with me. Imagine! You go for 10 hours, go out to breakfast, and then, get this, they go home and sleep! I mean, what the hell??!!

Well you probably dehydrated her and broke her pelvis, so that might explain it...

I never violate anyone's privacy. Ever. A random comment here and there does not do that. Nor do I really make comments like this in real life. My standing as a gentleman remains intact...sort of.

Some of us are Ferraris and some of us are Hondas. I've never had a perfect match. My best match was 4 years younger and brought out the best in me but also annoyed me a great deal as well. You do like doing other things beside sex with your partners I hope?
I do miss going places and doing things with a man. I like sleeping. I wish my sinus infection wasn't so clogged up that I was sleeping now. Sigh.

Definitely sort of. It reminds me of my friend telling me how private my Dad is. True, but he has his misdirection tells too.
"I never violate anyone's privacy. Ever." That's a strong statement. Do you really want to do a Paul?

Yes. In case you haven't noticed, I'm not Paul. The only quality in which we are really comparable is arrogance.

The difference, though, is that while I care about being right, I care even more about not being wrong. And believe me, that is a BIG difference.

Idk, sounds kinda like Paul to me.... Well so far I've only had 2 "Ferraris". The rest were... there has to be something worse than a Honda. Hondas are reliable and get you from point A to point B safely, and they did NOT get me to point B - not even close! The Ferraris were quite effective.... transportation, while the others were like the Chinatown buses: you can take one at your own risk because half the time there will be some type of mechanical failure along the way .

I have the range set for 2 before and 8 up. Though if you're 2 before or more than 5 above you have to be smoking hot and obviously have your shit together (or catch me in a certain mood) for it to really be in my range.

I'm kinda that way, too. I mean NCG just turned 26 last month so I can't TOTALLY rule out the outliers ....

Those are "Yugo"! There was this car manufacturer in former Yugoslavia that was making cars that would always take you just about halfway wherever you wanted to go. They either neede more oil or coolant at halfway point. Chinatown buses are slower but they do the route!

Owns his place, drives BMW. What do you say, what do you say! Do I hear any offers! (brought to you by mroped matrimonials) Public Service Announcement: Never date a man that went to school for three years to learn how to manipulate the law. And that my friends is why the only lawyer I ever dated was not really a lawyer yet - back in college I dated a local guy that was a law school graduate but had failed the bar exam twice. My excuse is that it was the early 1980's and not only was his name Michael but he looked a lot like the young Al Pacino in original "The Godfather" movie.

I want to know what tallguy does for a health regimen! Do you go to the gym daily, or hike etc? Healthy foods? What's your story?? What motivates you to do it? I have not found my motivation yet, but am working on it. Definitely need to get healthier and drop about 30 lbs. Just taking baby steps so far & starting with making my diet healthier and doing a little exercise at home. Debating if I should join a gym and go to classes to make myself do more.
