I recently became single. Things are different now than when I was young... say your age (no offense). The tables have turned. I have standards that (besides looks, libido, a great smile and independence) include good communication skills and respect. If a woman doesn't show both those attributes early on, I'm gone.
There's too much to offer from my end to play childish games.

@Mbingh01 I beg to differ. Why on earth would I accept someone who doesn't show respect or have the sense to communicate properly? I have choices that meet my standards. And while I do have adequate financial resources, I'm not interested in someone in it for just the $$. And yes, I do think very highly of myself. Try it sometime.

@carpediem I’m so sorry. You will have to excuse my rude behavior. I smoked a little this morning, so I’m acting a little silly 😜 I hope you find what you are looking for. It’s slim pickings out there. I’m not a bad person. I have someone in my life, but things are far from perfect! Please forgive my former post✌️

@Mbingh01 No need to apologize. I agree, slim pickings. I've waived goodbye to more than a few women over the past couple months. But at this point in my life, I feel I've reached a level that allows me to be selective. Am I a bit overconfident with high expectations? Probably. But so far it's working out. This whole being single scenario is new.
