    Quoting LadyUnlaced:
    Well, you wrote him back...which is a lot more than some men get on this site. I used to always write back and to try to be nice about it...but I got far too many rude emails in return
Yes, I'd consider it rude to not reply. And have gotten those angry responses in return.
Amazing! Yeah that would really make me want to meet them! Get angry! ha. NOT...

I do worry about their mental health if they can't reply in a nice way.

So, guys, be nice.

BTW, at least two of my male blogger buddies are complaining about my apparent rejection of this man - without more details.

A reminder: you did not see the original email, and guess what! It's not your place to decide that about me.

If other men reading this post and the comments are uncomfortable, too, I guess I owe you all an apology about rejecting a man 20 years older than me, when a man 10 years younger had publicly rejected me for being old and fat.

I don't have a solid, tough (teflon) exterior yet, and that's a personal choice. Most of the guys I interact with seem to, and good for you! I won't publish my responses to emails that ruffle my feathers any more. That's a promise.

Nope, apparently NOT married.
And the rest of it - from my extensive research on why men do what they do... how could that be prejudging and assumptions?

Yes, probably, but he was offering cruises, to share his newest sailboat and to participate in a lifestyle I have not ever experienced.

Don't I just get to say no? And then write about it, if I want to?
Feeling a bit oppressed lately, damn if I do and damn if I don't.

Going off now for a good cry and some self-love. Seems that I have said too much, too often about wanting a man YOUR age, who lives near by, who is single, and isn't as judgmental as MOST men are.

OK, he was too far away (and married ) – I get that. But isn’t all the rest prejudging and assumptions?

    That is the role of an intelligent, vibrant conscious woman...To express her needs honestly and discourage 'foolish' men gently with class and wisdom...

    Sweet and good of you
Thank you, dear heart.

Confirming for me that women I trust know that my intent was not to be unkind to this gentleman'

...and that I am not 'paying it forward' - the rebuffS that I get from other men.

Warm thoughts going to you this morning.

    I love that song!

    There is an 84 year guy on here who has written me more than once. Thing is, I have as much hesitation about someone 30 years older, as someone 30 years younger. Also, he was not as urbane as your guy. He said "You need my big thick dick" - and sent a picture of it! Yikes...

    I do wonder at what point it will just seem foolish that I'm here. Ah well, there's always blogging...
Yeah, I was humming it while typing! ha. Pretending I was Marlena...

I do feel a twinge, realizing that 20 years on is a scary place. And that he, if real, if so alive, deserves more, if he can find it.

I don't think anyone would think that of me at 80!

But yes, blogging! Here's to blogging!
Cheers!
