I've met you Ruthie.....aint nothin wrong with you girl :)

Some people are just punks Ruthie & don't know their own mind or they are leading people on by have several to pick from the online dating pool and thinks its one of those bachelor shows on tv. Just plain rude!!

Hey all!
It was a fun and busy weekend - just now able to get on a computer.
Weekend in the country - visiting old friends and making a bunch of new ones. Lots of laughs around the fire. good times.

Ruthie - I know how you feel. It seems I can never figure out what the heck is going on! I hope things work out for you.

THERE IS
NOTHING
WRONG WITH YOU


Apparently, you two just didn't click. It happens Ruthie. However, your date was already showing poor signs of communication, so it just may be a good thing how it ended up.

Chalk this one up for experience. Not every single person you meet will work out. There's lots of weeding to be performed prior to walking in the Garden of Love.

I think you're super special and any Butch that's fortunate enough to cross your path, will know that instantly when you're just being you.

ruthie14 06-29-2010 04:12 AM

Thanks folks.. Idk.. I thought we were hitting it off. I questioned her bc her words and her actions were telling me 2 different things. Anyway.. onward. *shrug*

Anybody have any career ideas? I need to change what I am doing. I don't make enough and I am 48 ... need to start trying to save something. Everything I have been able to come up with in the last 2 years either takes too much college... too hard on my back... don't have an apptitude for.. or there is no job market for. I need to figure out something soon. Thanks.

RUTHIE, there is a job market in healthcare. Nursing, medical assistant like I did and should have done nursing instead!! Will go back after I graduate from school want to make some money first. but you can't go wrong with the healthcare field its booming, just my .02 cents worth. Anyway, good morning lofters have a great day everyone!! sets out tea:tea: and coffee

Daktari 06-29-2010 05:21 AM

G'day Lofters one and all.

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, there's been some proper sunshine and temperatures here in the UK for the last couple of weeks so Mrs.Incubus and I have spent the weekend whipping the garden back into shape and enjoying getting nekkid in the sun - the most enjoyable way of getting one's vitamin D! :groucho:



Oooooh the vagaries of dating, keep kissing frogs Ruthie because eventually you'll find a lovely froggy to share a lily pad with.

Andrew, Jr. 06-29-2010 11:55 AM


Good Afternoon All!

I hope everyone is enjoying themselves today. I just wanted to jump on by here and say hello.

Ruthie,

Please ignore that person. You are a gem! Never forget that. Some lucky guy will be thrilled to have you on his arm!

Andrew

ruthie14 06-29-2010 05:14 PM

ok ... "She" and i had left it as friends right. So today I invite her to a 4th of July party I'm having on Sat. She turns me down, so I ask her... we are still gonna see each other as friends yes? She gets sarcastic... mean actually... and NO not friends. Really? she was the one who wanted to be friends again... OMG .. She was hurtful.. I am better off without her.. but ouch.. it still hurts. I am having trouble with "this" version of her and the one I saw the rest of the time. Dodged a bullet for sure.. Jeeze I sure can pick them.

Jet 06-29-2010 05:48 PM

Quick fly by
have a good one

ruthie14 06-30-2010 04:15 AM

Tired today but just have one job to work so i should be able to rest tonight. Feeling better about things and myself. Not one to stay down long, life is wayyyyyyyyyy to short for that.

Anybody know anything about being an ultrasound tech? Gonna see if there is a job market for that around here.

Have a wonderful day friends!

Ruthie

Ruthie

Ultrasound tech there are plenty of jobs in that area at least up north NJ. In fact there is a school in clifton that is starting classes in JUly 2010. YOu should definitely look into that or nursing. That's what I'm gonna do after I move out of NJ, look for schools of nursing in the state I'm living in. good luck Ruthie!!

cuddlyfemme 06-30-2010 10:37 AM

Hi Lofters! I hope everyone is having a good day. I'm really sleepy, I kept waking up in the middle of the night

Wryly 06-30-2010 01:01 PM

Hey all!

Not much going on today. I'm lost without any World Cup matches on the tv!

Have been reading - a book my SIL gave me the other day. Quite interesting.

Suppose I shall head out now and pick up some groceries.

lipstixgal 06-30-2010 01:34 PM

Good afternoon lofters, hope you all are having a fine day, took the little guys for a walk they loved it, the weather here is beautiful nice and warm with low humidity!!

MysticOceansFL 06-30-2010 01:39 PM

Hello lofter's I finally got my truck back from the shop I'll give it a test drive myself and head out to the movies to see Ironman 2. Have a great one everyone!

Jet 06-30-2010 02:34 PM

Flyin by.
Have a good night all.

WickedFemme 06-30-2010 03:44 PM

Hello lofters, I just need to 'rant' a bit... lol...
So, has anyone else experienced the whole 'invisibility' dilemma that seems to happen around younger groups of people and/or people who just don't see you after a certain age? This has been a super annoying thing that is happening more and more as I approach 50. I'm going on 47 this year and it is just getting really icky annoying... I have even experienced it with butches that are my same age. I sometimes feel like a heterosexual woman dealing with man/woman issues, if that makes any sense at all. Anyways, I just wanted to throw it out there and see how everyone else is coping with getting older and the whole invisibility thing. I think it happens more to us femmes than butches because of the whole 'gender' thing too. I have noticed that it's totally attractive hip and cool for an older butch to be with a younger femme or be attracted and vice versa... like younger femmes seem to be totally attracted to older butches - maybe it's the whole daddy girl dynamic thingy. Anyways, I was at this social gathering talking in a group of people that were all close to my age and mixed (butches and femmes) and then these two young girls (in their 20's) show up and the butches just totally dismissed me and the other older femmes and started drooling and making little side flirty comments... it was like we were all of the sudden 'invisible'. It's hard enough getting old and dealing with the changes in our bodies, etc.. without this sort of behavior. Anyways, how do you all deal with this.

Just a little disclaimer... I'm in a relationship and am totally secure in it, I'm not single and I'm not looking, etc.. so, it wasn't like I was offended, but it did trigger some 'aging' issues within me.

ruthie14 06-30-2010 04:28 PM

Yeah I have noticed the same thing. I am single and it is quite annoying. I seem to have become the "femme stand in" for single butches or butches who want to be single. Then when some one, skinner or youner or prettier comes along.. I am toast.

Hope everyone had a wonderful day. Weather is great here. I am staying home, dying my hair and generally loafing around for a change. lol

Jet 06-30-2010 05:07 PM

I, for one, am not attracted to young women. ( In their 20s or 30s)

I 've noticed that too butches flirting with younger femmes. Its annoying to say the least and getting older like 50's it hard to deal with other issues that are going on to have that thrown in your face!!

Rockinonahigh 06-30-2010 07:35 PM

Ageism/dateing ivisablity
 
Boy have I ever been there,the last time I was at the gbar(the only place hear to meet anyone) I could have been the mom or grandma of nearly everyone in the building..talk about feeling out of place. One of them even had the stupidy to ask if I was in the wrong gbar..nasty little wench.I have dated younger but it never worked,if anyone my age wants to date younger is all there is hear to go out with.U bet im not a stand in till something better comes around.

ruthie14 07-01-2010 04:16 AM

Good Morning everyone!! Ruthie glad to hear that you are doing something for yourself, that's good and getting a hair cut is always a good thing ya know. good luck with your party wished I lived closer, it should be fun. Anyway, I have to go to school to give in transcripts so I could get credit for a class they want me to take, should be interesting to see what they have to say. Have a great day at work or play everyone!! leaving a little chocolate just because:chocolate:

Legendryder 07-01-2010 06:48 AM

Well, I am a 46 yo single Butch. And I plan on staying single. I do not have time to put into what is required to have a good and stable relationship. Trying to have one would not be fair to either party. So, I just do not date, and have not for almost 8 years. Until I am finished with my schooling, however long that takes, and am into a solid working enviornment, it is not going to happen. I am happy with what I am doing, and it have given me an opportunity to really learn myself, and there is just nothing wrong with that. Besides, I have Bob. He is more than a handful anyhow.

Wryly 07-01-2010 07:56 AM

Hey all!

Today is Canada Day. :canada: In a little while I'm heading into Toronto - going to try hit the gay village for lunch. Got some plans for later with a friend.

Looks like I'm going to be on the road again this weekend - going to pick my sister up from her visit and then I'm taking a nephew to one of Toronto's northern suburbs. I'm bummed because it is PRIDE weekend and I'd hoped to go to the Dyke March. I guess since I'm not working that people assume I don't have anything planned.

I might be able to check in here tomorrow - if not everyone have a happy and safe holiday weekend!

cuddlyfemme 07-01-2010 08:24 AM

Good *morning/afternoon/evening (* delete as applicable to your time zone) Lofters

Another of the non-femme (not exactly butch but a genderqueer poof! :winky:) persuasion here who prefers older women. I've always preferred older women, I was dating women in their 40's and 50's when I was in my 20's and 30's... then I became 'older' myself and tried the younger ones for a while, even someone who was nearly half my age (42 - 22) and having tried it I know I will never go back there again :scared:

Let's have a big Woooo for older women!

The current Mrs.Incubus (I say current, it keeps her on her toes ::giggle:) is a tad younger than me but suffice to say she's in her 40's and drop dead gorgeous :tongue:

I hope everyone is having a grand day of fair wind and plain sailing.



ps. Happy Canada Day Wryly :mountie:

Hi Incubus, how is your day going?? Is it evening there yet across the pond?? I have been going for the younger women at least that is what has been coming my way in the last couple of months. Its nice to know that even if you are in your 50's you can still get women younger then yourself. I, Myself am in my 50's but look about 35 so maybe that is why!! Anyway, going to get a tad of coffee for the afternoon and a bite to eat too. tummy rumble.[/I]
