Wow, we were on the same wavelength there Lou because I just posted on your lonely thread while you were posting on mine.
Anyways, thank you for that perspective. The problem I have with me being the one to do the initiating is that whole assertive/submissive biology thing I have stuck in my head. I WANT the man to initiate. It's different for you and BB because you are the Man. Women like the man to initiate. I realize men like that once in a while too but ALL the time? No. It makes me feel crappy. Like I have to let him know I'm interested before he can become interested in me. That's not sexy to me and in the long run it kills me attraction for him. Vicious cycle. So I am holding on to integrity (and stubbornness) for now and waiting... As long as there are SS guys like me, 60 is not too old. But I can imagine that does not help you much now. You're wrong about that Lou. It certainly does help. It's not the age that is an issue as much as the drive. no baggage or responsibilities, no dishes to wash, floors to clean, and bills to pay. I know. Not realistic. But I know several REAL LIFE couples that seem to have very passioante M's despite all of the daily hassles of life. Isn't that just an excuse to justify some of our situations? I don't think I'm being unrealistic to think I could have a passionate M and still deal with the daily hassles of life. That's what I want, not a fairytale romance. I REAL M and all that entails.
