What the hell am I doing on the computer on a Friday night? I asked a Dom to look at my profile, and he did, sweet man, and told me that my problem was that I was on a dating site looking for dates.

I'm middle aged, and I've got a couple of extra pounds, but I'm not bad looking, and I'm a terrific sub. I'm told that by all the ex-boyfriends, who still want to be my friend, but have chosen vanilla women and then want to call me and bitch and moan about it. Jesus tap-dancing Christmas and his poodle, what does a girl have to do to get her ass beat and get laid in this town?

Everywhere I go I see men my age with women younger than my socks, or with women my age who are just unattractive, screeching harpies, and I wonder, "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Mister?" 

I'm a magnet for married men, who plainly ignore that I know the difference between married and not married, and that it doesn't take NCIS to pick up the clues (like, you can't take me out for New Year's, my birthday, Valentine's Day, or any weekend, you lying specimen). Now, I'm not sure why, because the cheating clown I was married to seemed to be able to celebrate all of these things (including our wedding anniversary) with the screeching harpy that HE'S was involved with (are ya KIDDIN me??), but hey, different strokes.

Speaking of strokes, I'd like to get laid before I have one. Not that I can't do it on my own. I'm an extremely talented masturbator, but really, must I?

I go to events, I go to munches. Granted, I get offers, but I've got some standards. Not many, and they aren't very high, but still. All I know was that it wasn't this hard when I was younger. I wasted my peri-menopause on someone who, as it turned out, wasn't worth the time. Now I just keep hoping that I come back in another life when this one's done, either as a young hottie who knows what I know now, or as a case of bleeding hemorrhoids for one or more of the sleazoids who tell me what a wonderful woman I am. Especially the ones who get in touch the week of my birthday to tell me so.

Awwww, that's just so sad, and somewhat mirrors my story, including the birthday! Happy Birthday again, Supersweet!

Go out and join activities? A hobby? Start up conversations with complete strangers? You never know where you might find a man. I was single for 8 years before I met Master and it was right here. I also wasn't really looking or trying too hard when he started talking to me. It just happened organically as we shot the bullshit late at night when no one else was awake.

But if you're looking for dates on here, the first thing you might want to think about is changing your screenname. To be honest, "notsweet" just sounds cold and bitter. Change it to something softer or exotic or a name that means something to you. Something basically more positive.

There have been people looking all their lives and still have not found someone. It's basically a crapshoot but really, it's when you're not looking that it happens.

As for what am I doing on a computer on a Friday night even though I'm not single? Master's asleep after a eerr...vigorous night.

But of course I'm still wide awake.

Plus we're old fuddy duddies. Our Fridays are spent on the couch cuddling and watching a movie....The Princess Bride was tonight.

I do all of those things, hon. Eventually, I'll run into someone, I'm sure. Just musing on it tonight because as I said, the ex- contingent is crawling out to see if I've changed my mind. If it wasn't for that old adage--If you're wondering why it didn't work out, just wait, and he'll remind you--I might have said yes.

Well, that old adage and a fairly new Hitachi.

As to the name, it's meant to be ironic. Most people get it, and it corresponds ever so subtly to my actual name. <grin>

Edited to add: It's not that I don't get offers. I just don't get offers from the one I'm waiting for. I just hope he hurries the hell up before I get dustbunnies.

I was a few years older than you when I started to look.  It's a buyers' market for ladies our age.  There are tons of older Doms but so few mature submissives.

I do hope you are not being "too" picky.  You both don't have to have everything in common.  For example, politics is not discussed in our household as it's not a safe subject when the sparks fly.  We also disagree on music as he's a country boy and I adore classic rock. 

However, we have a ton of fun together.  We both laugh through the good and bad that life throws at us.  We understand the needs of the other.  We are a team.

That echoes my story, to an extent.

I went to events, munches and all that good stuff. Met a load of really nice people (and a few assholes) there, but nobody I wanted a relationship with.

I used the other side of cm and put up my ad. Got contacted by every married guy in the area (and further afield). Had many, many coffee dates with guys who turned out to be sleazes, soap-dodgers and just plain old no chemistry.

After about 4 years, I nearly gave up. I was chatting with several people online who were local but who, for one reason or another, I had discounted as partner material.

One friday night I was chatting to one of my 'regulars' - we'd been talking for about 4 or 5 months, all very vanilla. I mentioned I was bored and thinking of giving up. He said 'let's meet for a coffee, as friends and put the world to rights'. I was lonely, bored and a little depressed, so I went.

Long story short - we've been together nearly 3 years and later this year we will be selling up and moving in together to (hopefully) spend the rest of our lives together.

I guess the moral of this story is - the right guy comes along when you least expect it. I hope it works out that way for you too, Notsweet

Well, I have to say that some of your journal entries are piss your pants funny. To me. To a "potential," well...he might wonder how you will describe him when things don't work out. Because while you are truly funny, you are still ex bashing in a way. I could be completely wrong, and shit, I would be disappointed if you toned them down because I enjoyed them very much, but alas, I am not your target audience.

Happy Birthday by the way and don't feel so bad about the Friday night thing. I tend to spend my weekends babysitting my granddaughter. I haven't gotten even a lousy piece of ass in more than two years, so trust me I feel your pain.

For me I know the answers.

1) I am not that handsome when you compare me to the "perfect stud looks" portrayed by the media.

2) I am a cynical old geezer critter that owns six dogs.

3) I snore

4) I prefer intellectual conversations over "Did you watch American Idol?"

5) I dont go to movies, because in my opinion it is a ripoff scam by theater owners. Come on, $7,50 for a bucket of pop corn? $3.00 for a large drink? $12 bucks for a damn ticket? The food, seats, floors and bathrooms have not changed much since 1964 when I went to my first move theater. Granted, for the most part, the movies have gotten a hell of a lot worse, with few exceptions, and Titanic was not one of the exceptions.

6) The only bar I go to is one owned by an ex GI who has the ex military crowd going there, no dance floor, no live music, four pool tables, a juke box with classics from sixties through the eighties, and the decor is basic military base NCO club.

7) My idea of a dinner out is a hole in the wall family run steak and bbq place that has a dirt parking lot.

8) I dont dance

9) Did I mention I was a cynical old geezer?

10) The last concert I went to was 1987, Aerosmith.

Stop looking? I know it sounds counterintuitive, but I had a few bad relationships and I was worn out and exhausted. I met my husband at work, we worked in different departments. Honestly, I wasn't looking and I was staying away from him. We worked the late shift and he used to come over and say I made coffee, come over and have some. I never would, mostly because someone told me he still lived with his parents (not true). What I didn't know is that other guy was trying to sleep with me. Eventually, he had to train me and we just started hanging out. The rest is history.

My advice let it happen naturally, don't rush it or try to force it. But what do I really know? If something happened and I was single again after three years of this, I would have no idea how to start over.

First off, Happy Birthday!

Yep. One of the golden answers on this one is stop looking. It seems more people stumble onto the right situation when they aren't actually looking for one. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say that as soon as they stopped focusing on finding someone, that's exactly when the right person shows up.

I totally got the comedy, even if there was a small rant behind it. Way better than the pissing and moaning type of rant. This way, we get to laugh with you and it keeps the levity.

Oh, and if I'm ever in your city, we'll both say screw it and just go out and paint the town red.

Happy Birthday!

I agree, the moment you stop looking that is typically when the best relationships fall into your lap. I sure wasn't looking for a relationship when I first meet my primary. Lol

I agree about the not looking. And the being too picky. Here's the deal on that, and this may well be my damn problem.

After the divorce, I was wearing the "Don't even ask" sign, and now I'm wondering if I'm still wearing it. Rather than "looking for," it's more like I'm waiting impatiently for them to find me. And they don't seem to be looking hard enough. The wrong ones keep asking, and the right one still hasn't stumbled into me. In fact, what appear to be the right ones seem to already be taken by women they don't want, thus the married man magnet. And who the hell wants that?

I've already stopped using grammar and spelling as a filter, though the punctuation is really a hard limit. And like the bunny said above in her brilliant turn of phrase, soap dodgers need not apply.

Regarding bashing the ex. I do that online (Taylor Swift channels ME), but never, ever, ever on a date. But for the love of all that is holy, why do men want to tell me all about their miserable ex-wives? Do they ever wonder if it was THEM that made the ex go batshit crazy? NO! But come on, when you're telling me that you've been divorced four times, and that they were all psycho bitch gold-diggers, I'm wondering--do you still have any gold? No, no, just kidding. I'm wondering, "What are you gonna do to me that's going to make me talk to walls and listen to the answer?"

I suspect it's the counselling background that makes them want to spill their guts about all the things I wish I didn't know. That, or the dating advice I got from Ann Landers about asking them about themselves. I gotta thnk up some new questions besides "And how does that make you feel?"

Happy Birthday! Our Birthdays are pretty close together. Sorry you have not found your dear heart yet. I have a single friend I have taken with me to a munch now and then trying to set her up and she says they are all either hell no or already taken. So it is not just you.

JLF--

1) I don't do handsome stud.
2) Six dogs? Six? And you just know they find a way to get wet. Well....ok, I can deal. No, I can't. I'm cat and cat-sized dog people.
3) Roll over.
4) I've never seen it, so I don't really understand the appeal.
5) I don't go to movies either. And the kind where you can meet people...well, PeeWee Herman. That's all I need to know.
6) There's pool tables? Can ya hook me up with somebody who doesn't have six dogs??
7) I'm a really good cook. I don't need no stinkin' restaurant.
8) I dated a guy who loved to....flail around on the dance floor and thought he was a great dancer. He was.....not.
9) The six dogs kind of bested that.
10) My last one was either Earth, Wind and Fire or BB King. Both just magnificent, and BB King once kissed me right on the mouth.

I know I'm not your target audience and in person this won't affect you. However one thing about your journal is despite being funny in places, it has a rather moaning tone to it. I found it to be rather off putting and no mater how good your profile or someones may be, with a journal like that would be an automatic 'not interested'. A few funny rants/moans on a journal is fine, yours personally had a few too many.
