Among the last girls I've dated - Data scientist for a huge USA retailer, six figures, masters degree; Head buyer for a national retail chain, again six figures, masters. School teacher with a doctorate. Not all of them are in this category but they often possess what I fit with.
Dang, dude - why didn't you stick with one of these? I'd love to find guys with similar/equivalent qualifications to date. So far all that OkCupid is offering up this time is ugly white dudes that appear to have no life or spend it watching football games and riding motorcycles in the desert (n harm in that, they're just usually not intellectual nerds like me). Or cute guys who have a high school education and can't spell and scraping by (again, no fault in that, just not going to be a match for me.) Or the most promising guy, Caterpillar Mustache guy, who apparently made a good living in the past in telecom sales but let his ex squander it all and doesn't seem too financially stable at present (hope I'm wrong but at my age financial stability and a plan for finances in retirement is really important in a potential mate. I'll learn more on our date this weekend.)

I wanted to get on the phone but she asked to stay on text so we did.
Don't know what her living situation is but I often prefer text at night because I'm also watching tv with my mom (the only time she really gets with me) or otherwise engaged with family - texting allows me to multitask, a phone conversation wouldn't.

Still, I see this whole experience as good. It proves I can still have these feelings. On the bad side, every time I do, they are often for the wrong types as this has happened to me before. Or are all women just like this?????? I do best with the outgoing, fun girls. Problem is, they often don't have the other things I need.
Smart girls can be outgoing and fun but sounds like you're drawn to the party girls, who will seldom be what you're looking for.

I got a clear DTF vibe from her, let's just say that.
Hey, she's young, single and has a libido - nothing wrong with that. Took me a long time after my marriage ended to adjust to the relative paucity of sex in the dating world, compared to the regularity of it in marriage. Shouldn't be a double standard - apparently you're DTF too even if you don't really find her attractive as a potential mate. So long as the door swings both ways.

One last thing, we've talked about those guys on OLD who get sexual rather soon, send naked pics, etc. We've asked why would they do this - with it often turning girls who post here off. Well, could it be because there are girls like this one out there???? Just food for thought.
Maybe. Or maybe desperate or insensitive men AND women look the same. Odds are good though that the women who are sexting inappropriately are less likely to be doing so out of unbridled enthusiasm for free love and more out of a somewhat desperate feeling that it's the only way to get a man or it's all they have to offer. (now, granted, a couple of men sent pics because they were rightfully proud of their porn-star-quality genitalia - one particular young man comes to mind......hahaha).
