Young woman can’t get a date!

Friday, August 27th, 2010

This might sound like a very odd question to ask on here, but I am a bit frustrated! I am suppose to be enjoying my early twenties.  I try to keep myself in great shape,  educated, enjoy keeping my appearance acceptable, and dress to the best of my ability without over doing it. I can be very feminine and dress the part, but don’t mind getting dirty doing outdoor activities, etc

I don’t fish for compliments and people around me say I am attractive, with a well rounded personality. I just plainly ignore the bar scene, but no men my age ever approach me to ask me out because they go to the bars like a moth to a flame.  The only guys who show an interest in me are old enough to be my father and have the “I’ll take care of you attitude” and I just cant figure out what I’m doing wrong! At the rate, I’m going to miss out on a great period of my young life or the girlfriend of a man who is twice my age! I am seriously thinking about moving out of the South.

Anyway,what kind of gal are guys looking for anyways?

Men over 40 turn fat and lazy

fat and lazy

Hey cupidfish I thought I’d join this dating site and give it a go. I just dumped my 45yr old boy friend of 2.5 years. A majority of the time we got along great – as long as we are doing what HE wants to do. We’d go fishing, boating, and one time even went with him duck hunting etc. These are the only outdoor activities he enjoys. I enjoy them because it’s something we are doing together. However if I suggest we try something new or an activity I like to do such as going to an outdoor festival, go bowling, see a free concert in the park, take a day trip to the beach or mountains, he is totally resistant. He’ll roll his eyes and respond,”I’ll have to get back with you.” That was his answer to most of the activities I would like to do with him. Then he will delay so long in giving me a definitive answer about my suggestion that is it either too late to go or I’m just not longer interested. The last few times he had me wait for an answer I took a girlfriend instead. I thought this would make him feel left out or guilty for stringing me along, but he still didn’t care! He went fishing or hung out with his buddies. He doesn’t see why I’m making a big deal about it. But it infuriates me!
So now after I dumped him he wants to get back together and make amends. I am finished and truly am an (all things) outdoors type of gal, but sadly, most men over 40 turn to all talk and no action and just want to do the things they want or sit and watch sports and feed their pie hole. I am in my mid forties and understand why women my age or older turn to cougars because you older me lose your stamina. VENT off-

Is it time to get a divorce?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010
Hello Cupidfish I thought I’d join and tell my story becaue I thought it would fit on this blog. I am a newlywed as of three months ago. My husband and I dated each other for six years before getting married. However on our honeymoon the first night after the wedding we stayed in separate rooms, and the next night he went back to his house to take care of his mother. In short, we had no honeymoon what so ever and this really hurt. He said that once he gives an answer I need to accept it because now I am his wife? This is what my marriage life is like, we live separately because he lives with his mom and needs to take care of her her states that I shall not get in the way of his family, we meet every weekends for lunch and dinner on Saturday or  Sunday and he does not want me to call him because he claims he is busy earning money to support us and his mother/family. I am referred to as just his friend to his family they don’t know that after six years we are married finally. I am not invited to his family gatherings, and church gatherings. We don’t even display that we are married, in public no holding hands, nothing.

I for some reason think he is ashamed of me and when I was younger I was a  model and did local commercials, fashion shows, and many beauty pageants. I am better then average looking at 5′6” 120lbs, and very physically active at the gyms, and outdoor activity.

We did talk about this throughout our years of dating. He always complained that i did not know the meaning of marriage and that he does. I was forced to believe him. I trusted him that our lives would be different after marriage. He promised that marriage life would be really different from boy friend and girl friend. Guess he lied. Can’t believe i actually thought he was being truthful and  he always told the truth to me.  It could be his mother. She once sent me an email about how my “hubby” was not spending enough time with her, she wanted the only two days i have with him.When dating we spent the weekends together hiking, swimming, movies, and other activities. We lived apart as normal boyfriend girlfriend do. But i always thought that when we married things would change, just as he said they would. What happened now i spend almost 5 dinners a week either alone at a restaurant or at home, or if i am lucky I vist a girlfriend and help her out with her kids, as her husband is in the military.

I think it’s time to get a divorce. Don’t tell me that i should have thought about life before getting married and yes i did, thats why we dated for 6 years and were friends for 3 years before we dated. Is a divorce the right thing to do? what would you do in this situation?

Why have  I waited this long? I thought it was wedding jitters, something that he would get over with. Yes i do call but whats the point, he always says he loves me asks how is my day going so far, and if I know where i want to eat when we meet, or if i am still meeting with him on the weekend.

Thanks for letting me vent,

Beth
