Oooohhh so many ways to respond to this... So Newman you think you're a 7? Based on what may I ask? Just your appearance?

Hey, Mocha, I was just thinking about you five minutes ago! I am wondering if a person is 40 pounds overweight, why would that necessarily mean that they don't take care of themselves? I am sure that would be a correct assumption in some cases but definitely not in all!

ewwww, who wants a 7? (j/k) I give myself a 5 in the looks department, but I'm probably a 9 in the personality department. Too bad when people don't look beyond the outside packaging. It's your loss, and your lonliness.

Well, I take care of myself but I still don't have 6 pack abs or rippling arm muscles. I just want to be healthy, not an olympic athlete. But no matter how good I look, I'm still 51 years old. The guys I know around my age (even those in the office) aren't interested in a good looking 50s woman. They want that 25 year old hanging off their arm to show off. Ego? Maybe. It seldom works out and they move on to the next youngin. Maybe it's just the men around here. Regardless, I have a hell of a lot more to offer a guy than any 25 year old could hope to have and I'm not talking money Too bad they're missing it! LOL Everytime someone asks me if I'm dating yet or if I have a boyfriend yet, I say only two words....."I'm done".

I remember way back in my teenage years I thought that the gorgeous guys were the ultimate. The pretty boys. The ones with 'good hair'. But now to me looks aren't that important. I'm not sayin I'd date a troll lol but I'm not just looking for the pretty boys. I'm looking for personality, someone who can make me laugh and that' really not hard to do. Someone who can give me the attention I need. Now I consider myself a dime based on my personality, that I keep myself up as far as my hair and nails, and my smile. But the body's definately not a dime, more like a quarter.

Oh, and by the way...I'm not lonely in the least. I could care less whether I have a man in my life. I know that not everyone understands how a person can be content without a spouse, but I am. I have never been married, never had children, and am quite happy with my life (other than the fact that my back is killing me). There is a saying that when life hands you lemons, make lemonade. I think you can either do that, or throw lemons at moving cars and then run like hell. I prefer to do the latter. ...from the most immature 49 year old around these parts

I knew it, I knew Newman was going to think the gay handyman thing, I was driving down the street and suddenly burst out laughing cause I knew I needed to fix that...NO Newman. Allright, Im going to be totally honest here and say that I like a fit guy..He dosent have to be the bomb..not perfect, dosent have to be the best looking guy in the town, but when hes looken down on me, presuming on the bottom (LOL) I want to look up and like what I see... that dosent make me bad, cause I got all kinds of freinds and people in my life..and myself and most of them are not perfect by the least... But every ones tastes are differant and what one finds attractive another dosent.... If you find someone that suits you, you will most likley find them attractive.. thats why we are all different....Viva La Difarance..

i take great care of myself and weigh significantly more than 40 lbs over the ideal chart. haven't we already covered this? that's o.k. it's worth mentioning again. my experience has been that yes, someone who has the appearance of what the MEDIA says we should think is attractive is indeed attractive to me - at first. unfortunately for them, they usually aren't my type after i have gotten to know them. i learned that when i was about 16 years old. that is when physical appearance no longer became an issue with me.

If I had shunned all of the wonderful people (some of them becoming my mate for a time) I have met because they didn't look perfect (whatever the heck that is supposed to be?), I would have truly missed out on so many good things this life has to offer! And, in my book, that would have been very sad!

Everyone has different tastes. There is nothing wrong with me saying that from an appearance standpoint that I find women who have fuller figures more attractive than some women that are extremely slim. That doesn't mean that I would automatically reject a slim woman if I were looking for a romantic partner. There is much more to it than appearance. However, a general standard of attractiveness from an appearance standpoint, without involving other factors, seems to be that the person be very slim. This can be clearly seen by the pictures that most people drool over in the celebrity thread.

I've had relationships with men that were short, tall, thin, not-so-thin, drop-dead gorgeous, okay-looking, smart, just plain dumb, rich, didn't-have-a-pot-to-pee-in, and everything in between and I still haven't found Mr. Right yet. And I just can't leave out the ones where "it" was downright scary and ones where I couldn't find "it."

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have met some men, who on first look I didn't think were my type. After getting to know them all of a sudden I have a huge crush on them. It's true that inner beauty shines through.
