Zee - Loving the sex here. Long post divorce. I don't want a deep meaningful insight into her inner self. I discovered long ago that what goes on in a woman's soul is not to be examined by a mere mortal male. Vice versa I suspect. So loving the sex, flash looks, cooking and cleaning. Don't know or care what she likes so long as she is getting what she needs. And she apparently does.

The moment a man shows a woman he cares about what makes her happy, instead of simply making her happy, she loses all respect for him.

Re: Liveaboard Dating

After all the talk is said and read, the true facts remain.

The best we can ask for is to find the right parter to love and be loved by. That they are attractive is of varying importance. That they have assets and financial security is important because one of the most common causes of relationship failure is lack of money

I have no doubts that my ideal man is out there, yet im realistic enough to recognise we quite probably wont ever meet. There is an alternative, one which Ive taken before, but which failed to deliver long term satisfaction and lead to feelings worse than being single, so its no longer an option.

My answer is to build a self serving world around me which is resillient and robust. One which I control and cannot be taken away. The less I want, the less I miss what I dont have.

I take pity on you for the feedback you are about to receive...

Re: Liveaboard Dating

ok so leave off the self serving part--i do well on my own....

not in a hurry to find a partner to sail with, obviously, as i am still out here and still sola..LOL..and way too many males in the older ages groupings are penniless and derelict--dont want nor do i need that bs...even an eetsy beetsy income on his part is better than supporting his bad habits and tolerating a jerk without means. btdt enough, thankyou!

You think all middle aged women are looking for someone with money .
And that women only look after or improve their appearance because they are seeking to attract a wealthy partner?
What kind of women are you meeting? And where on earth are you finding these delightful specimens?
I am truly sorry if you have had some bad experiences, but maybe just avoid the newly blonded, newly bigger boobed ladies if you have found this to be to be the case (unless this mix is truly irresistible to you ).
No one I know actually meets that description, so women like this certainly can't form the majority.

While I would love to disagree with you on all points...I can't. I have been married twice. The first time, I had not yet experienced real love but knew that marriage wasn't it. The second marriage, I married my a good friend. Still dissolved after 6 years and thought about her everyday for 5 years after. Just when I think I have found "Her"...I see it was my perception and not reality. I do the same as you and feel alot of guy do...to create the framework for continued happiness alone with good friends and a lot of personal freedom. You are also right about the money. While money cannot bring you happiness...the lack of, tends to bring on the misery. There is however one thing which can take your resilience and robustness away...that is a health issue. I've seen it happen couple of times.

I know, you know, how lucky you are and I truly envy you. No sour grapes in your basket. Way to go...

I happen to agree with this. I've never been married nor do I have any children, and I freely admit, in the past, to seeking the wrong women in all the wrong places.(these women were likely 'right' for others).Engaged twice but fortunately didn't wortk out. I have been in and out of a current relationship (now back in it so I can be removed from the SSSSSSSM group) since 2007. She loves sailing and loves me very much. I love her very much as well. Her 19 yr old son has Down Syndrome and wealso love each other very much. He gets sea sick a lot but loves the sea and loves talking to the waves!

Biggest problem I have is I am gone sooo much with boat deliveries.( has caused issues) Maybe 6 months of the year. Not easy in a relationship. We are def planning for the long term when I stop captaining and delivering boats. I am off to Cabo Jan 2nd to bring up a Ben 50 then swiftly off to Panama to transit and sail a Swan 53 to the Virgin Islands via northern route.

Keep looking in all the 'other' places. You will find your mate. In fact, her son introduced his Mom to me when I asked his father to crew bow for me on a J -133. THey were never married. Big John had such a great time he wanted his Mom to meet me.

PS- Have been living on my boat in Marina Del Rey since early 2003.

Happy New Years!

Jeffry~

Like I said above. I don't care if they are seeking money, pumped up their boobs, go to malls or bars, are middle aged, or many other things. All they need is the ability to interest me.

Apparently I am not doing anything "WRONG" because I think I am the happiest guy in the world. Smug, huh? Oh well. The current young natural-breasted dark-haired bar-frequenting mall-loving very interesting gal appears to be the happiest one in the world.

Until they realize that they are also not finding a true long term mate in the usual spots. For me... was fun when I was young-ish..having been 'friends' with far too many of the, Love this: "young natural-breasted dark-haired bar-frequenting mall-loving very interesting gal appears to be the happiest one in the world, or YNBDHBFMLVIG, but is no way compared to a deep loving relationship you both respect and are proud of.
Maybe it's just me..

Liveaboard dating? I thought you just cut them in half and count the rings?

Re: Liveaboard Dating

Not saying it applies to Daddle's young etc etc, but it is not uncommon for 2-3 dollars a day pocket change to be the same income as working in the Philippines, and not all jobs provide free board and lodgings and prospects even if they are viewed unrealistically.
