I don't know if you are female, male or something in between...either way, don't lose your money for' love' and find out it wasn't really love, rather the love of your money. :smt045
Some may view my politically incorrect opinions as harsh and may be offended by them. Some think political correctness will be our undoing.
AB,SK,MB...are you going to wait until you lose your way of life before you consider getting out of confederation?

I’m female. I’ve had men ask about money. My home. My vehicle. I tell them it’s really inappropriate.
My life is damn near perfect. I’m comfortable in my little home. It’s just hard to find a nice gentleman that cares about me. Not what I have. The simple life. 😊

Like cooking together
Dancing in the kitchen
A drive and picnic up on the mountains
A skinny dip in a secluded lake

You have to meet someone that has a net worth close to yours or greater. In this town that shouldn't be a problem, but it does narrow the selection a bit. A lot of men at this age are very wary of getting into a relationship with someone as the law isn't in their favour if/when things go south. By the time they are in their 40's and 50's- they, or someone they know has been cleaned out.
As one poster mentioned earlier in this thread, meeting a single mom is a no go. Some men view it as a financial death sentence....It's not their fault, it's the system. So if you are a single parent, don't hold that against men if they are hesitant to get involved.

True. I can understand that. My kids are grown up living on their own, and I’ve moved on to taking care of me. I would like equal, per sae. I have no interest in a man that flaunts money and his toys. I have no interest in diamonds and jewelry. It’s not me. I covet kindness. Warmth. Seperate homes, lol. Someone who knows at the age of 53, women do not have the body of a 20 year old. Someone who sees my scars and asks me to tell me about them. Someone who can exist beside me. Not in front, not behind. Good sense of humour. A need for appreciation of what is truly important in life. Internet dating … people want instant gratification with beautiful women half their age. I could talk forever … lol

Don't be surprised to see a few PM's from multiple interested parties coming your way after saying that. You probably just said more in that last post that would attract quality men your way than any online dating ad.

I think I’m pretty reasonable in my requests. I think someone out there would look at me and my personality, which is fun and loving and a little spontaneous and crazy, lol, and say, she’s ok 👍😊

To me you almost sound like a dream.
If you are up for a coffee, whenever I return to the Okanagan I would love to meet you. It probably won't be for about a month.
Sorry Old Trucker is ahead of you.

I am 52, however to be honest I doubt I am your type.
Not that I am a bad guy.
I have a rather warped sense of humor, accept people for whom they are.
However I don't exactly blend in beside anyone.
Like you may have figured out, I do drive bus and meet thousands of people a year.
Most of them seem to remember me,and and I am often recognized and have people coming over to chat or even just shouting out Hi Stu from across the parking lot.
It can be fun at times however if you want some alone time with me it could quickly become annoying.

If everyone kinda knows each other, why is organizing a G & M important? Are you opening it up to other communities to attend as well?
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do.

I was going to send my Dick pic, but then you said you didn’t like them.
