this is the 3rd time I tried to reply to a post and it posted somewhere else
this is getting aggravating.

Atlanta Butch, I know what you mean about leaving all your friends and family to be with that special person who turns out to be not that special...been there...done that. I find that dating sites are full of people who just want to play head games not to mention charge ridiculous prices just for those head games

Don't want to be misunderstood... I haven't moved for anyone... learned NOT to do that from my lesbian sister who did.... I just keep finding women who play games... again and again and again.

Rockinonahigh 08-01-2010 09:59 AM
Folks I havent moved for anyone,to many of my friends have and it been a total disaster for them.Playing mind games it one of the worst things anyone can do to another person...yep they are players who get god only knows what from useing other ppl.LDR's have been not to good for me either,so far anyway.So far I have made it to this point in my life ..after I wised up about
really beleaving what ppl say and do,do they mean what they are saying or is it just for the moment...mostly for the moment I think.I really try not to judge ppl cause of this but I am carefull just the same cause I do know not everyone is like this..I hope.

lipstixgal 08-01-2010 11:12 AM
I don't do LDR's either and I'm not moving for anyone either, dating sites suck because most people are not really that serious about meeting someone I think they are just looking!! I'm on several dating sites and I mean nothing has happened!! I even on a Jewish one and have not met anyone there!! Some people are close by too a town or two a part and have not wanted to contact so I give up. I'm moving to Florida I think in October where the sun shines all the time maybe something will happen down there!! I hope so.

I just moved to Columbia SC (mainly because of economics) and haven't met anyone...granted I haven't been looking either. I hope you do better in sunny Florida!

How is the economy down there and the weather?? Not a definite on Florida yet but want warmth and sun!! Hopefully there will some butches but don't know I think its an age thing too. I'm 52 but look really young so I really don't know what to think but it gets lonely sometimes with just school and internship!!

Good luck Cuddly you deserve the best!!

The economy in SC isn't that bad, but you have to remember that I'm originally from Washington DC so almost anything is better lol But seriously, the economy seems pretty good. The weather is really nice, during the days its in the mid 90's or so. There's some humidity but it doesn't seem to be that bad.
I agree with you, I think its an age thing. I'm 48 and look younger than I am. I do totally understand about the lonliness...I love my 4 cats but there's times when I need more...

So the economy isn't that bad so you are working?? That's great. Don't know how the economy is in florida either and as far as finding butches or gay people is hard unless I go into the city, New York that is which is very expensive and very time consuming like 45 minutes plus cab or train....I try to attend the butch femme social but the people are not too friendly to be frank!!! Its very conservative where I live in Northern NJ, so that is not good. I too love my two dogs but gosh I need something. One woman contacted me through some dating site but never got back to me..I didn't do anything but never heard back!! Its frustrating to be honest.:|

I'm still looking for a job (i'd saved up some money to live on for awhile). I remember the subway rides when I lived in DC and cab prices were ridiculous. The butches and femme's that i met were rather cliquish. We didn't have socials like you all have in New York. I know the price to live in New York is sky high. I've totally given up on the dating sites, it seems like people are just there to play games or so how many females they can get in contact with and have no follow through

The dating sites are ridiculous, I never did anything to that woman she just never contacted me just said she was going on a business trip for 3 weeks yeah right and would get back to me..that never happened. Yes the butch-femme socials are very cliquish to say the least and expensive to go into the city all the time. Good luck on the job search that's hard to do I will be doing that once school is over which is in September I really don't want to work in the internship place its all paperwork and I' m a medical assistant I can draw blood, do Ekg's do vitals etc etc etc..so the place I'm at right now would be a no go for me and the people are not friendly at all. In fact the people in NJ are not that friendly at all!!! Very snobbish and snooty too that's not for me!! The JEWISH dating site I'm on haven't got one date out of it. I'm going to cancel my membership I think!!

morningstar55 08-02-2010 07:56 AM
good morning its Monday...... and i have come across something that leads me with a question for the day.....

.....Why is there a Y12 National Security Complex ... outside of Knoxville,TN.. hmmmmmmmmmm is the goverment concerned about something??
dating sites........
im on some...... and there r just not many butchies/TG types there.... cept for one... and then there is PlentyofFish..... its ok .. but still..
i dont hardly go browzin thru any of them much anymore...... why??
anyways... gotta git ........ bbl..
have a good day everyone..

las68 08-02-2010 08:17 AM
yeppers!
 
I agree, dating sites suck! I unfortunately did move for a relationship. I left Georgia for Arkansas. things didn't work out, but I love this area. I'm close to Little Rock, but the dating world here isn't that great. It's sooo political here almost like you have to know someone to know someone. I hate cliques. I know things will get better one day. I'm wishing on every star and following every rainbow. ;)

morningstar55 08-02-2010 01:24 PM
strangest thing happend today.......
ya know.. last week sometime... i was poking around the internet, and looked up...... truck driving for celeberties/concerts etc.....
and it came up with several companies and what the qaulifcations are and such... ok .. just lookng courious....
i get these tarot card reading things coming to my wall on FB ... and just about every reading or every other one.... its gives u like 3 a day i dont know why... but it keeps telling me of change, changes, etc...
well.... i had a load I took to canada friday, while i droped it off, (Panther who i work for) sent me a message to pick up another load which was 20 miles away, up north of Toronto, it was stage stuff for .. Metallica..(it was dragons , lazers, war tanks and fogg stuff..) and I thought??? yeha.. this is awsome.. cuz most the time , cept sometimes i haul car parts. so this was cool... and wierd that I got a load like this , cuz i have not mentioned anything about this story to anyone.. of doing the search for trucking companies/jobs doing this sort of thing.
soo ok i get here..... just east of Harrisburg Pa where im droping the stage stuff at some sort of warehouse storage place they have here..
well here were all these other trucks here with trailers with other major concert stuff.... with a couple companies names on the trucks i seen on line.
well after sitting there waiting for someone to unload my truck and listening to these trucker guys talk there stuff and all ...one of them who seemd in charge of several trucks, walked away then came bk a lil later and asked for info about my truck and owner... and wants to se if he can hire my truck for hauling ahhhhhhhhhh concert stuff.... heh.. says they need some smaller trucks like mine.... now how wierd is that???

naturlover_52 08-02-2010 04:09 PM
Change
 
I think that that is SOOO great that you may have a new job moving concert stuff...that sounds like it would be great better than trucking Car parts. I hope that it works out for YOU and Best of luck.

Dating sites ....
 
My take on the dating sites is that they are meat markets.

Lady_Wu 08-02-2010 07:12 PM
Dating sites
 
I've moved twice for people I met online. Guess I didn't learn my lesson the first time! If I ever move again, it will be for reasons of my own! Anyone know anything about Asheville or NC in general? That or the Southwest-if I can find a place that is temperate and does not get too hot. Any suggestions?
Congratulations, Morningstar! Yes, your tarot reading and then the job offer is a little eerie. But Tao moves as Tao moves.
AtlantaButch, I offer my condolences. You got taken by someone who was not what she seemed. I'm so sorry.
Lady_Wu

ruthie14 08-02-2010 07:32 PM
Hey Lady Wu... my mother used to live in a little town just outside Ashville... she worked at a hospital in town and almost every nurse she worked with was gay! lol used to call them the lickity split gang! Ashville proper has a nice gay community.. as for climate... not bad... still get all 4 seasons...but winters are generally mild and since Ashville is close to the mountain... it is cooler in the summer than a lot of places. Still hot mind you, but not boiling. If you have any questions feel free to pm me. If I can't answer them my mother may be able to.

Evening all... hope everyone has a great week!

Morningstar...Good luck! maybe you'll get to move concert stuff for kd lang! lol

ruthie14 08-08-2010 06:55 PM
ok sooooooooo I go to a lesbian over 40 dance tonight. Wearing a sexy sundress, all pretty.. with my friends. More butches there than there usually are, and NOT ONE asked me to dance. My friends all commented on how good I looked... I danced with my friends and by myself... made eye contact.. etc etc... NOTHING. oh and the "dating " sites I joined...so far.. lets see a 19 year old from bulgaria (really!) and a straght male cross dresser ( what part of lesbian i like girls don't you understand) and femmes. sigh... really? really! This is making me crazy! Ruthie

AtlantaButch824 08-08-2010 08:28 PM
I'm 52 and single again after 10.5 yrs. I feel strange trying to date again. You think you know someone after that much time, only to realize you didn't.

Good morning ladies and gents!!
First of all, I'd like to introduce myself...my name is skeeter...I hail from the mitten state in the beautiful city of Ann Arbor. I'm single and LOVING it!! Me and my little brown dog live very happily and comfortably in our butch-ler pad.
I work for the U of M hospital in the ER and love my job!!...anywho........

I'm so happy to have found this site and especially this thread!! I'm 54 and I truly feel like someone made a mistake on my birth certificate!! I can't POSSIBLY be this old!! I'm a very young 54 and plan on staying very young even when I'm very old!!
skeet :)

Abigail Crabby 08-09-2010 06:07 AM
Good morning all

So this is a loft huh? Does that mean I have to hike up some stairs ?? :|

been reading a lil of the thread and don't have many comments to add as everyone seems to have said it about dating sites, ldr's and moving for the special someone *cough*

If I was looking to date -which I'm not lol I think I'd tend to go to social events and skip the sites, although for some it does seem it's the best way they can meet people.

I live near Erie - doesn't seem to be many social events for Butches and Femmes up here, and I'm not working yet so that's ok lol will look at making new friends when I'm working and totally settled.

In the mean time I believe I shall come in here and mingle with other peeps in my age group lol

Happy Monday all :)

Wryly 08-09-2010 08:56 AM
I had a fun weekend - visiting with family. My brother is here for a visit for a few days. So I might not be online much.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Did you ask anyone to dance?

Lady_Wu 08-09-2010 09:14 AM
Comments on age
 
I am 49, yet occasionally still get carded. People comment on how young I look. I FEEL like I'm in my late 30s (when I am well). When I am not well, I feel very, very old. Age is not to me my body. Age is a relative, changing thing related to the INTERPLAY of spirit, vitality, and generative force (body). This morning, for instance, my vitality was down. I was in much pain. I felt older than my biological age. I took my medicine, took a nap, and now my vitality is much better. So I feel younger again. I do not think that biological age is a measure of a person's age. What is 49? Just an arbitrary number.

If you came to the Reunion, I'd twirl you around the dance floor or dance like a maniac to the fast songs.
Dancing is something I haven't done much of since moving to a small town and I like to dance.
