As far as Margies comments, I have been complimented by ladies on this site that I am a handsome 57 year old, who looks younger than his age. My picture is current and my profile speaks to being just a regular guy. I wokr out at the gym and am in great shape. I have met women who are younger than me, at around 48 and have dated women in their 60′s, however many women read my profile and say that they only want to date younger men. I joined e harmony to avoid the Cougar mentality but have not avoided it completely. I want to find a wife eventually but if women kept their profiles focused upon why they are on this site in the first place, then they would receive many more responses. Also, we are now in the year of our lord 2011. Which means that there is equality amongst the sexes. Equality and equity of who we are and what we desire as best for us can be addressed by either sex. However I find that women on this site feel that they are from the 18th century and are not forthright and honest about coming out and truthfully communicate their intentions concerning men they might like on this site. It takes two to Tango and playing hard to get on e harmony will not bring about positive results. But being honest and showing that you are a person seeking to be loved by others, is much better than reading a ladies profile where she gives me a laundry list of the “things” she loves. Such as: I love my morning coffee, I love my car, I love my job, I love my house, I love my independance and security, I love to travel. As a man I am not attracted to a woman that loves “things” . No, A real woman is defined by not the things she loves, or her job, but how she cultivates empathy, passion and a sincere ability to give love. For it is not how much we love but how we are loved by others. It is in the giving, not the taking where our faith is defined. Don’t ever love a “thing’ but always love something that has the capacity to love you back, things cannot.

It takes time to heal from something like that. But please don’t condemn us all.

The Lord is still working on my heart, but I am fully confident that the Lord will provide anything my heart needs for the rest of my time here on Earth. If that is a man, then so be it. If it’s not, that is great too. For those of you who are hesitant about getting back out there, don’t let bad experiences keep you from meeting people who could positively affect your life. There are a lot of jerks out there (I know), but there are a also a lot of great people out there! Your past does not have to predict your future. Don’t settle for less than God’s best. He loves us and wants everything that is good for us and His kingdom.

Their profiles reflected the person they want to be, not the person they really are. It has become very difficult for me to accept any of the requests for communication now.

However, I have learned that forgiveness is not condoning what the other person has done. It is the freedom to move on without anger consuming my life. When two people are controlled by Christ, they shouldn’t have to control each other. I too have been hurt – only God knows any of our futures – but I pray that peace and joy will be a part of them! That’s for all of us!
