Healthy Sex Support Group
This community is dedicated to an open discussion about healthy sex and sharing thoughts and feelings about sexuality and improving one's sex life. Most active adults desire to have an active and fulfilling sex life, both for themselves and also their partner. Here we discuss common sexual challenges faced by both men and women.
OK, so you STILL need to do the work on presentation--both physical and attitude.
Put your best foot forward. Always.
If you have insecurities and mental health issues, well, you can work on those and not kick yourself for having to do so.
Maybe what you need to do is focus on yourself, repairing yourself before focusing outward for affection.
Why? Because you could set yourself up for disappointment unless you are at your best.
Anna I am sorry to hear about your problems...dang with a pretty woman like you, I think I would definitely find the energy LOL. Hope things get better with you.
I have a lot of friends who are female, in fact the ratio is like 10 females to every male. The problem is, I become the best buddy, I have female friends come to me and tell me all sorts of things... I have heard about their sex lives, problems in their marriages/boyfriend relationships, their flings outside marriage/relationships, you name it. Even had a couple who were so comfortable with me they walked around nude in front of me.
Sorry, there are some lines that I simply do not cross with my male friends, no matter how comfortable I might think I am around them.
Shouldn't they also be considering *your* comfort?
Maybe you need to nicely tell some of your female friends that much as you love them, you are still a red-blooded male and there are some things you don't need to see or hear.
Unless of course, the walking around naked thing is an invitation that you're failing to see (???)
Listen to Billy Joel...he knows what he's talkin' about:
"Don't go changing, to try and please me ..."
LOL I sometimes feel like the "Gay" guy that girls feel non-threatening and can do what they want to. Unfortunately I am far from gay. Very strange situation...and I bet you guys thought you had heard it all...
Well TexasReb, I do plan on keeping my long hair and beard but will trim it up so it looks nicer. I like long hair and beards after 20 years of short hair and shaving every day, which I heated, I refuse to go back to it. I am wanting to lose weight though, got some awesome clothes I want to wear again. Got several pairs of black leather pants, leather shirts, and several Goth shirts and pants I want to wear again.. And the most important, need a knee replacement so have to get weight down for that. Thank heavens my depression is, well I won't say under control, but not as bad due to the meds. At least now the bottom doesn't fall out.
I mean, the way you present yourself NOW is not working for you.
Getting a haircut, losing weight, wearing decent clothes, those things are don't change you intrinsically. However, they are first impression makers. Methods for connecting with a potential love interest.
If you are happy and comfortable with your looks but it's not getting you what you want, then you have to change it.
You know, like a science experiment. If it's red, turn it green.
Capiche?
Well the biggest problem I have in finding women is that women my age are NOT into what I am into. Most are either into 60's and 70's music, or country, and are way to conventional.
Back when I was 42, I had a brief fling with a 19 year old Goth chic who was into WICCA and all sorts of other things. I learned a lot and got to love Goth music, the Goth Scene, and since she was BI I had my first experience knowing someone who wasn't a conventional Heterosexual.
Trying to find a woman my age who is willing to go to Goth clubs or wear the clothing and listen to the music is next to impossible. I feel like they are more my mother taste wise than what I want. My Present GF does listen to a few of the songs I like, and will occasionally wear something sexy (i.e. Goth) but for the most part she is stuck in the past. This is one of the reasons I prefer younger women. But again there is a problem since I am twice their age, and not rich so most are not interested.
