"Mid-Life Crisis?" was the 1st comment a date had when I picked her up in my 993 :o)

Honestly, 993 is my daily driver and has been for the last 7 years. Y'know what, I really don't want to pretend when I'm on a date, nor do I want my date to pretend. If she has a comment, be it derogatory or complimentary, let's have it. But in reality, it's just a car. If she's a car person and makes an appropriate comment - great. If she starts making social commentary... I know she's not the right dating material, simple as that. Unless she's Tina Fey type.

Clear sign on 2nd date it was not meant to be.
There are haters out there, usually people very unhappy with their lives, that can't stand to see others happy. Life's too short to be a hater.
GLW dating seen, life can be better when you can share your passions with someone who cares that you are happy. Even better if they choose to partake.

Due to diminished availability of Jewish women between 35-49, yes, I have resorted to the internet. What once wasn't very common (internet dating) seems much more acceptable today to many people.
I am confused about one thing though, why wouldn't I take my 993 out on a first date? It's just my car, right? A 15 year old car isn't that showy, is it? Or is there another reason some of you mentioned you don't ever drive it on that 1st date?

The only thing many people see is P-O-R-S-C-H-E and they don't have a clue if it is a 2011 model or 1991. It means $$$ to them with no clue as to why a driver owns it. That is why it may not be the best '1st date' car.

Seriously though there is a stigmatism that comes with a P-Car, good bad, or indifferent, it's there.. I'd rather someone just realize that you are an enthusiast or car nut than be potentially labeled... Also similar with business and the car you roll up in..

I always say "The Porsche is cheaper than a mistress." Of course, when talking to people that encourage me down the slippery slope of tracking my P-car, I say my agreement with my wife is that I can have a Porsche as long as I keep the cost below that of a mistress.

so I'm at least trying to find someone of the same faith again. My parents would be proud of me if they were still around. I may give up soon on this particular aspect of my quest as it's fairly limiting.

Quite frankly, there's not that many attractive women on dating websites (at least in my area), in my age range (39-49). I have all the bases covered (JDate, POF, OkCupid, Match) but I push on...
It's all good.
While this is totally, utterly off topic, here's an example of a woman that put herself out there lately on "Match" (see below). It can be a little crazy! You happily married guys are lucky...
"Height 5' 8"
Age 46 year old Woman
Caucasian with Brown hair
Religion Non-Religious
I do not chat, nor do I "chat". PoF used to let me block this feature. I am not ignoring you, I am "ignoring" you. Chat is for sissies who are scared to talk to girls much less meet them.
Unique property, well located and maintained. Easy care, comes completely fitted out so leave your worries behind and enjoy the scenery.
By turns rollicking and intense. Aspiring painter and accomplished sculptress, well tempered by experience and ready for the big fences. Would rather participate than spectate. Loyal, steadfast and happy to be one of two. Can handle a crowd or a couple but would rather have just you. I expect a man to cook and like it, or at least like doing the cleanup. Smart but I don't care who is right. Ready to let you be the man, if you are okay with me being the woman.
What I'm looking for ...Someone not too urbane, not a redneck, not too into sports, not too 'neat', and very good with their hands. Someone who enjoys fixing things, someone who can get a joke if not tell one, who has no chip on his shoulder. Who says what he means, means what he says, and doesn't mind if I say it better from time to time. Who comes from 'good people' but perhaps chose a simpler life for himself. Who can tell I'm not intentionally pretentious nor filterless, who is satisfied that those things are offset by my generosity and fierce loyalty.
He probably isn't the typical 'nice guy' - he may have suffered the fires of Hell and lost and learned...learned that some things were worth keeping, that he could have done better and he will this time.
Ideally, this man played lacrosse, got some "A's", has more questions than answers, sees like an artist and moves like a cat. He walks with his arm on me through danger zones. He's unequivocally masculine - because that is upon which our bond is based ...I can have an intellectual, mind-expanding conversation with any man, woman or child, but only this man will touch me and it is only on him I can depend.
*laddertheory site. Check it out.
I don't tolerate lies or liars. If you aren't your height or age, I will not be kind. My pictures are recent - I expect the same. The first date will be a "meet" - if you have reverse anorexia, I'll be having that drink with the bartender, not you. Jiggling jowls are in the same plane of focus as your eyes. I can't enjoy a meal while my stomach is turning. Let's be honest - you find me attractive because I can say "no" to the Twinkies. I retain the same right to be attracted - men with only one chin need apply.
I'm not into commuter dating and have no intention of negotiating the Washington beltway. I have kids age 9 & 12 whose father lives in Takoma Park, so I have to consider that. Please don't break my heart and write me, even if you are perfect, if you are further than one hour away from me. Mapquest it. I'm not interested in living in the suburbs. I live with family on their six acres right now, and maintaining a country lifestyle is a priority over romance. I've never met a like-minded suburbanite...my ideal guy will already be walking the walk.
I want to raise chickens again (organic of course), and some sheep and maybe a steer (grass fed) every year for the freezer. I'd like a country gentleman - no suit and tie, but plenty of tweed when the weather commands it, and maybe a navy blazer in the spring. Someone who can hold his liquor and if not - is man enough to say 'thanks but no more for me'.
I've slaughtered my own chickens, put up my own jam from berries I have grown, and held a deer liver - still warm- in my hands. I'd love a man to teach my 12 year old to hunt - he's dying to, he is as well an avid and precocious fisherman and I sorely regret all the promises men have made and broken to him.
I'd like someone in good health, whose man-bits are in working order and is medication-free. He'll have an interest in sensuality, not just getting 'er done.
He'll have good ideas that show thought and knowledge - not just his whims - he doesn't push tolerances, he wants us to be safe first. He'll rather fix it himself than hire it out.
He sees what makes me light up, before I do. I will do the same for him.
I DO NOT DATE OUTSIDE MY RACE OR CULTURE - THANK YOU. That means no Euros, hillbillies, tattooed wonders, hippies or rednecks, as well as gays and bisexuals, black folks, Hispanic people, Asians, and Indians.
I get 1,000 inquiries a month, and unfortunately can't reply to everyone. I use the "block" feature liberally, as an unfortunately large number of men will turn nasty when rejected. You get one shot - so if you have a five-line profile and can't tell me what distinguishes you from the other 999 guys in your first message, you will be blocked. If you aren't blocked, you may try again LoL, in case I got busy or lost track.
To those of you who say "the man you describe does not exist", please save your sour grapes for your buddies. I know several men who meet my description to a tee - they are married, or hundreds of miles away. They are good friends and ardent admirers - I have no lack of friends and am not looking for friends here.
For the uninitiated..computer dating is not for the faint of heart. Think of it as a retail used car outlet. If you are a wreck, or below average condition, this is not going to be the best venue for you. I am not paid to be here, and I owe you nothing out of good manners by way of response unless you meet "my" criteria, look as good for your age as I do, are equally physically appealing etc. etc. "Your" dating style may be to use a cast net - I fish more discriminately, I only drop my line according to my experience and self-knowledge.
First Date
First, we have to get to the date! I have 28 interests listed above...and more alluded to in my profile. I know I'm attractive, LOL,...what can YOU offer to the mix? I expect a clue in your opening messages...or you will be "blocked".
I don't care for dating, frankly. I "know", immediately, if things will progress...or not. I cast my rod not without hope, but without expectation. A first date will evolve into something or evaporate into nothing with no hard feelings."
Ouch!

Oh man, you should've had fun with that "mid-life crisis" question.
"Mid-life crisis?" "No way! I'm dating you, aren't I?"
"Mid-life crisis?" "Wow, I guess you're right, in that case, you're too old, get the f** out."
