Despite the fact that I have a stable, upwardly-mobile, relatively high-paying job and practically never "party", I'm consistently "too young" for those women? Keep in mind, they're often the ones who have been dating men in their 30's from when they were my age. It seems a bit hypocritical, but I don't feel like it's worth it to push the issue. Preferences are preferences, even if they go against my wishes.

Meh. My last 2 relationships were with girls 3 years older than me. I've also been in a relationship with a girl 5 years older. Currently, I'm dating a girl 6 months younger.

Ever cheated on someone you were dating? Ever been cheated on?

No. Not that I'm aware of.

I would have said "no" to the former, but I'm not sure that's true. I think I did develop a kernel of a relationship with someone while I was dating my former ex-wife (then my fiance). Was it cheating? Not in a physical sense. But emotionally? I don't know. Maybe it was.

And, yes. I've definitely been cheated on. Lots.

Some women, a lot probably, don't want to date somebody who makes them look old.

You just have to take baby steps and stay motivated.

I think you guys have taken what I said in a direction I didn't intend it to go. I'm not dissatisfied with my life. I don't hate myself in any way. I'm overweight, but it's because I like to eat everything they tell you you shouldn't. I also like to cycle, to the tune of about 2500 miles a year, so the damage from the food isn't too bad, particularly during the summer. But washboard abs I will never have. And that's fine. I'd rather have pizza and french fries. The downside of which is accepting the fact that something I enjoy is what makes me unattractive to what I consider attractive members of the opposite sex. Similar thing with the way I spend my days. I'd rather spend my time doing the things I enjoy, rather than doing relationship-y things. I'm not an outgoing person. I'm an introvert. I like video games and books and movies, and I like doing them alone. I cycle alone. I walk alone. I can't really think of anything I like doing with anybody else. That's just how I'm wired. It's not exactly conducive to dating. I'm not an easy person to live with.

Tie that in with the reality that life is a series of choices. The choices I've made before now define who I am and where I am. I'm good with that. I've come to acknowledge that there are certain things in my life that aren't subject to change. My finances are what they are. My looks are what they are. I am who I am.

And now I'm old. Which is the worst thing of all. Because if I was interested in dating, it sure as hell wouldn't be with anyone my own age. Ugh. Wrinkles and baggage. No thanks.

That's exactly how I forsee my next 20 years. It's taking some getting used to.

No worries there - people have always thought I look older than I am (great until I turned 21), and I'm even starting to bald! Maybe I'll have better luck if I start coloring some of it grey, too?

You liked the idea of doing stuff with someone when you married that wretched woman. There is easily a compatible chick for you its just easier to keep going on without one. Just sometimes babe, the soul needs someone else to get up and get the towel. Just so it doesn't get crusty.

The smell of your hair lingers on my skin.
