Well, I offered myself up as a sacrifice of sorts so that others will learn from my mistake. I have learned from my mistakes. There are some things here I cannot defend and some others I can. Another time.
Yeah I am an older guy (we all get there at some point) and yeah a younger (not young) woman would not hurt my ego. Age is an issue but maybe not the bottom line. I think that maturity has a lot to do with relationships and should not be overlooked. A divorced woman with kids is far different than a single girl of the same age. Same thing with plain old ordinary chemistry. I have seen some pretty oddball couples in my life, who are very happy together. I will take into consideration the photo issue that Olgas and Manchester brought up but I am not going to show my friends every picture of every woman I find on the internet, or elsewhere. What the heck do they know anyway. I'll just email them to you guys and await the verdict.

There are scammers at 19 and 49, so we all have the be mindful until we REALLY know the person and that does not happen in one trip or in 15 hours. Even all the letters, email, photos and phone calls cannot change the time it takes to learn what another person is all about.
I just hope we all wind up with the person that will make our lives happier, more fulfilled, and glad we are sill here.
I have taken my lickins but will keep on tickin. Or, one of my favorites for those who may remember--Weebles may wobble but they dont fall down. LOL.
