It’s hard to stay away, huh? I did turn off my notifications on twitter but I still peeked. Why are y’all so amazing to me? What did I do to deserve this love? This community?

Since y’all have been there for me ever since my mom passed three years ago, I’d do anything for y’all. I felt I did let y’all down because I’m a content creator and haven’t done anything in so long. It sucks because I’m yearning to do so but lack the time due to now being an adult, working a grueling adult job and living with family.

I believe I will be able to get a place of my own later in the year, I’m really hoping for that. As for my full time job, I’m actively looking for another one. The one I’m at, I feel I work so hard but I’m not appreciated enough. It’s a healthcare industry and I work hard to help people with their needs while management focuses on metrics and numbers. I wanna get out of there.

I haven’t had time to myself and just be selfish for once? So I’m glad I was able to take time off to have a pretty long weekend to enjoy Sizecon 2020 and spend time with friends.

Let’s get started on the recap, shall we? Bare with me, I talk a lot (and not well might I add).

Day 1: Thursday 2/13/20

I woke up at 4 am to catch my flight that leaves at 6:45 am. I thankfully had all my bags packed, I just needed to shower and be ready. My dad took me to the airport and wished me off. At this point, I had plenty of time, even seeing the long TSA line at the Houston airport. I had internally groaned a lot but managed through. After having some minutes to spare, I grabbed a quick bite to eat at one of the dining places, a lovely breakfast bowl that I can have (those of you who don’t know me, I have celiac disease and I have to eat gluten free). Jumped on my flight and comfortably slept in my seat on the plane. The plan was to have a connecting flight to Charlotte, NC and then to Newark, NJ.

Two hours later, I woke up to not at my destination but at Colombia, SC. Apparently, while I was asleep, they had to divert us to the next airport because the weather was really bad in NC. We had two options: stay on the plane and wait it out until we’re back in the air to NC, or get off the plane and figure out another alternative. I stayed, I had plenty of time until my connecting flight was scheduled (which I actually got alerts that it ending up delaying a lot) so I stayed in my seat and watched greys anatomy. About almost an hour passed and we’re finally back up in the air, with more space to breathe since there were people that did leave the plane. Landed safely in NC and I ventured off to find snacks and wait at my gate. It kept delaying but I finally was able to get on my flight to NJ, making my total time at the airport and in the air...all day, I can’t do math lol. I safely landed in NJ at 5:30 pm, I had been awake since 4 am. It was a day.

Yo, I’m gonna get him and his wife a gift, I swear to god, but DJ (aka Giantgripper) saved me by picking me up from the airport and letting me stay the night at his place. When he’s the host, he does one heck of a job as a host. Since I hadn’t eaten a proper meal since 5 in the morning or so, DJ took me to a Mediterranean little mom and pop restaurant that I fell in love with. Had a stuffed pepper and practically cleaned everything off my plate. After we ate, I accompanied DJ while he did some errands for extra things he needed for the con (which did include articles of clothing for the giant cafe lol). I was happy to help as much as I could. After that, we made it back to his place. Once his wife Adri (chibiana) came home from work, we watched a documentary while trying (and failing with me because I’m a turd) to make different mixed drinks to taste. I ended up going with hot chocolate, I’m a simpleton when it comes to alcohol. A little bit afterwards, I had to pass out, it was a long ass day.

Day 2: Friday 2/14/20

Valentine’s was just another day for me. Woke up, got dressed, and DJ surprised me with a fresh homemade breakfast. It was magnificent, I scrapped the plate then too. Plans for the day was to get allllllll the stuff we need and travel to the hotel, which apparently was an hour and a half away from DJ’s house I believe. Adri had to go do another thing for work and was gonna meet up later. DJ and I traveled to the hotel first. I passed out again in the car, I was so exhausted from before I guess it had hit me again.

We made it to the hotel and unpacked the car with my stuff, his and Adri’s bags, and things for the con. I got to say quick hellos to people I knew that were already there (gave a big ass hug to Miss Kaneda, she’s so precious and a big hug to IamFilledwithStatic). I was going to be sharing a room with shortmarcy, Morgana (Moe), and Guiri. So since I had arrived first, I will check in first; Morgana and Guiri were still flying from Spain and shortmarcy didn’t come until the next morning. Since it was under shortmarcy’s name and the deposit was paid under her, She had to call to have the hotel let me check in for her. In turn, I had to put my card on file. I thought I was being a responsible adult and I thought it was gonna charge like half of the charge or something but...they charged the full price of the hotel. Which was $503...which was basically everything in my bank account. I didn’t know that was gonna happen, I panicked and just sat on the couch outside of the con area while Robyn (goddess-rei) comforted me. I had to come to terms that shit happens and I had no money for the weekend. But I graciously had the best of friends this weekend, I’ll get to that in a sec.

After my bumming out, I changed to put on my blouse for the valentines banquet (one of my guaranteed dinners that night lol). I met up with Morgana and Guiri and also sillylilbug (she’s so adorably sweet). We had our own table along with my friend Joe (CaptainRandGTS, who is a phenomenal photographer btw). We ate some good food and they took account of my gluten free (however I think the chimichurri steak may have upset my stomach). I said goodnight and went to my room to basically turn the bathroom up XD I had changed into my pajamas to head downstairs to get water and pain medicine when I turned the corner and saw a group of people walking down the hall. Guys, I’m still getting used to this, but the group was like, “Is that Vicki?!” “That is her!” And I was like WHAT. It was my lovely friends sviolet, mansquishers, mister finch, Joseph moestar, and Strongshadow2018. I was so surprised and honored, I was gushing. I got to hang out with them in their hotel room for a bit, played cards against humanity (I WON!) and ate ridiculously delicious gluten free cookies misterfinch made.

Day 3: Saturday 2/15/20

Con day. This day was a bit of a blur honestly (my mind is not the same people) but I know I took this day to “try” and relax. I was still bummed about my money problem but I had enough to buy the breakfast buffet meal ticket. My idea was to chow down a lot of food (since it was a buffet) so I won’t ask for food but that did not happen because I have wonderful friends?? Towards noon, I went to ihop with my crew (we called each other the sizecon crew lol) with sviolet, mansquishers, mister finch, Joseph moestar, and strongshadow2018. We had a nice time and I was so grateful for the lunch! Once we headed back to the hotel, we split up to do more con shenanigans. I met so many people, it was amazing. People I already knew and new people as well. It was awesome to match names to faces, it was so cool. I’m telling you though, my mind is not the same so I can’t list out the whole list of everyone I’ve seen. Then I got to see my good friend Steve (Miles Striker). I’m so fucking proud of this dude. He showed me a film he wrote, recorded, and edited all by himself, it was mindblowing. We had to go back downstairs after that because I forgot I had a social to lead and he had panels to go to. I stopped by the giant cafe, that was fucking wild. I ran the Fluffy Feels Social and I did my best because I’ve never ran something like that. But I’m glad we all liked the same thing and we just kept talking! It was getting late to when the Playroom was gonna start, so I headed back upstairs. Chilled a bit more with my crew and then headed back downstairs. I don’t know what got over me, but I gathered enough courage and joined the nude swimming party. I cannot believe I did that, that was a big step for me. Kinda sucked getting out though because I didn’t have extra clothes and it was fucking cold.

Day 4: Sunday 2/16/20

Technically last day of the con but it was the busiest. I spent all morning practicing my skit for the Tiny Cafe. I was nervous and pacing around in my hotel room, making sure I get it right. Around 12:30, I headed down to meet up with the rest of the cafe to get ready when we start at 1 pm. I could not describe how nervous I was. I wanted to make sure I didn’t mess up and I know I was lip syncing (graciously provided by Anoka’s vocals) I was still nervous as fuck. This was a performance and I’m now more confident talking to others about my kink/aesthetics but performing? Oh lawd. We had a big crowd apparently, I was surprised. We had to get more chairs and apparently turn people away? THAT MADE MY NERVES SKYROCKET. The cafe starts with a wonderful performance by Adri (Chibiana) then followed by cute transitions from our servers mini-moo and shortmarcy. Then it’s time for our skit: Veronica (Jitensha), me, and Aim were shrunk and sung songs about our giants. I was first (omg) and mine was in the style of “Maria” from west side story (Veronica called it Shrunken side story). I was shaking like a leaf and tried my best to get through the whole song while doing silly quirks of mine. Once that was done, I rushed back from my spot XD it was Veronica’s turn to sing about a giant dick lol and Aim serenading a giant lady. After our skit, it was the grand finale of Morgana performing a dance in a giant hamster ball. It was incredible. Despite my anxiety, I’m glad I did this and we did so amazing (we made tips!!!!).

Right after that was done, I had to rush to lead a social of Giant men and Tiny women. It was a small turnout but we still got people and we talked a lot. When that was done, I rushed to be on my first panel of the day: Owning what you love. After that was the Macrophile panel and then after that was the Diversity panel. I was on all of them and they were back to back, I was a busy lady lol. After that panel, I was free! Since I made tips from the cafe and I was broke from the hotel, I got to buy a few things in the vendor hall. Was able to say hi to some people I knew like scridam, the reducer, miss kaneda, iamfilledwithstatic, robclassact, and aborigen. It was also mister finch’s birthday so since I was free for the night, I went with the crew to go celebrate at a restaurant. That was such a nice time, I swear everything I did this weekend I wanted to experience again. When we came back to the hotel after dinner (after a quick stop to the liquor store lol), I was able to make it in time for the closing ceremony. Hearing everyone’s words touched my heart and reminded me why I love this community. So I was able to give a speech to say that; this is my second home when I lost my only home when my mom passed. God, that room was filled with so much love. I went back upstairs and hung out more with the crew and watched Promare (pretty sick movie). I was gonna head to bed but I hung out more with Steve and we watched a movie before passing out.

Day 5: Monday 2/17/20

It was time to say all of my goodbyes to everyone that had to leave. I gave so many hugs and love, I just miss them all. Most of the crew had to head out, except for sviolet, she had her flight in the afternoon. So we went out to breakfast at a Mexican restaurant, reminiscing this whole weekend. We came back to the hotel to chill in my hotel room. Morgana and Guiri were leaving to the airport back to Spain and shortmarcy wanted to venture to NYC before she went home the next day. So sviolet and I chilled in my room before she had to head out.

Then for the rest of the evening, I had the room to myself. I watched law and order svu whole packing and double checked I had everything. I waited up for shortmarcy to come back (I was so worried) but she made it back after 10 pm safe and sound. At that point, I had to go to bed because my flight in the morning was at 5:45 am.

Day 6: Tuesday 2/18/20

I woke up at 3 am to get to the airport on time and my Lyft driver I got...I had a feeling he was having a bit of fun by himself before he picked me up. Because it stunk in the car of cum. Whatever, I held in my breath and made it to the airport safely. My flights were on time and I slept on each one. I did not want to go back home.

Back to reality and I hate the after con blues! Especially with how much this con and community means to me.

Hoping there’s a next year and I’m ready to help as usual.

Y’all have a goodnight ❤️

Women Dating Over 50

Many women over 50, myself included, wonder if dating can be enjoyable-and effective. Lisa covers all the bases, addressing common concerns, such as who pays the bill and how to stay safe online, as well as other issues I hadn't thought of. For example, I didn't realize I'd held onto old ideas from my twenties. With Dominika Van Santen, Celine Alva, Mary Farah, Andrew Ottolia. Women Dating Over 50 is the story of a group of individuals recently seeking love. To their dismay, they find that social media has drastically changed the rules for dating.In a quest for love they take advice from the eccentric Dr.

A single Women Over 50 Dating Site where You Find It All. If you have felt as though you have been left behind when it comes to dating then you can find single ladies over 50 right here. Every day, there are thousands of members actively using this site to meet singles just like you.

Nov 07, 2016 Lisa Copeland is known as the expert on over 50's dating. She's the best-selling author of The Winning Dating Formula For Women Over 50 and her mission is to help as many women around the world as she can discover how to have fun dating and finding their Mr.

The older you are, the harder dating typically seems. For those who are newly single, it might be hard getting back in the dating pool—the whole dating game has changed so much since the last time you were here. But when milestones like marriage and children are no longer the standard goal, dating and the act of meeting new people is a whole different ball game. And in a lot of ways, it can be a lot more fun.

There are many advantages to dating single women over 50. Even if nothing romantic springs from a date with a woman who’s older, she may still turn into a fun contact for social events and a good friend who you can have a great time with.

Here are some things to know about single women over 50:

They might not be looking for true love. Women at this stage often have never married for certain reasons (like a busy career) or have separated from their partner due to death or divorce. It’s very possible they don’t want to start over again, nor do they want to be swept off their feet.

All they want is someone to see a movie with, and chat about it afterward with a glass of wine. Age doesn’t necessarily predict what each woman wants, but for many, the idea of starting over from scratch just seems tiresome and unnecessary. So if you’re looking for a social companion, a woman over 50 might be a great match.

They’re often very self-sufficient. If they’ve been single for awhile, they’ll be the most independent women you’ll ever meet. They know how to work and manage a household all by themselves. And even better, they’re happy with the arrangement. Here’s why—if they’ve chosen to never get married or have kids, they’ve had to handle the, “Won’t you have any regrets?” question from people who straight up think being single in your 50s is an irresponsible choice. But, these women know what kind of lifestyle they prefer, and are out to prove that there’ll be no regrets. Is meet singles only a safe dating site.

They have a solid friend group. A single woman in her 50s is only alone if she personally chooses to be. Typically, she’ll busy her schedule with activities she enjoys. And she’s likely made a few lifelong friends as well. She’s probably in a book club, or goes out to eat with buddies at least once a week to chat and spend time together. She’s not afraid of being social, and might introduce you to a few good people if you get to know her.

They have realistic views on marriage. Nobody goes into a marriage thinking they’ll get divorced. Their love is the type that’ll last forever—until it doesn’t. If this woman in her 50s is divorced, she knows that Prince Charming isn’t necessarily going to knock on her door and save her from life’s biggest responsibilities. She believes in forming true connections with people, but isn’t necessarily in a rush to replace her husband. In fact, it’s possible she’s not even into the idea of marriage anymore. Some people get married since it’s what they’re expected to do—maybe she figured out that’s not for her and is looking to play the field.

They know what’s actually important on a daily basis. As women get older, they realize time is limited. So, they focus on the details that matter. A woman in her 20s might be absolutely embarrassed to leave the house without makeup. A woman in her 50s, however, has less to prove. She’s over putting all of her focus on appearance and would rather be on time for her doctor’s appointment than waste minutes looking for spare mascara. She doesn’t feel as if the world’s judging her if she accidentally forgot to swap our her flats for heels, and isn’t afraid to value comfort over high fashion.

Their idea of close family often includes friends, neighbors, and pets. If they haven’t built a family of their own that includes a husband and kids, they’ve built a solid network of friends, supporters, animals, and neighbors. Plus, just because a woman is childless herself doesn’t mean she doesn’t consider her sister’s teens like her own. Her idea of family is a little less traditional, but that means she gets invited to no less than three Thanksgiving dinners every year. And she probably tries to attend all of them—or at least FaceTime every group to wish them a happy holiday.

They’ve seen every trick in the book. Really—if you hang out with a single woman in her 50s and you’re not your genuine self, she’ll be able to figure that out within seconds. Women in general have a wonderful intuition, and if a woman in her 50s has been single for long enough, she’s pretty much seen all types of men and women cross her path. Just be yourself, and it’ll go a long way. Even better, if your history isn’t one you’re not happy with (say, two failed marriages) she’ll be more receptive and understanding if you’re open about it.

They understand how to balance everything in life. There’s a reason why you don’t often see 50-year-old women hanging out in their parent’s basement. Like the rest of us, they’ve grown up and learned how to support themselves. Whether or not they’re single by choice, widowed, or divorced, they take care of the bills by themselves. And that means they’ve got the drive to get promoted to that better title, and aren’t afraid to put the extra time in over the weekend to finish that big report. Single women over 50 find a way to balance all of life’s responsibilities, and they still have time left over to pursue their own hobbies.

They might be a little stubborn. Wouldn’t you be? When you depend on yourself, you have certain ways you like to do things. A woman in her 50s will probably be open to fun dating activities and unique ways to connect, but they might not like your brand new way of cooking ham on Christmas, or other methods of cleaning, organization, and general living. It’s a comfort issue. Humans like to have rituals, and those become a lot harder to change as we get older.

They’re more attracted to your heart than your looks. As we all age, things… happen. It doesn’t mean that humans stop being attractive as the years go by, but bodies naturally change with time. You can’t expect to look 20 when you’re 50. A single woman in her 50s and beyond is well aware of this, and doesn’t expect you to have rock hard abs either. The things they’re attracted to are the kind things you’ve done, and the amazing skills you possess. Pretty much, they’re into what you’re actually like, and not the fact that you have a gym membership.

There’s a ton of benefits to being with a single woman in her 50s. If you’re asked out by a woman who’s older, or perhaps want to spark up a friendship with an older woman who lives alone, just know that these days, 50 isn’t old. She’s at an age where she’s lived a pretty rewarding life so far, but she’s still eager to see what’s ahead.

If you’re a man who is over 50 and attempting to date women, you might not realize the distinct advantages that you possess over younger guys.

A man of your age has had a lot of life experience and you really should be using that to feel confident in what you’ve got to offer women. Unlike a younger man who is still trying to work out who he is and what he should be doing with his life, you’ve likely past those stages and have become your true self as a man.

So, from here, you need to have confidence in the overall value that a woman will gain (emotionally, mentally, financially, etc) by being with man like you. However, don’t try to pitch it that way to women.

Dating For Seniors Makes It Easy To Find Single Seniors In Your Area Whether you only need a like-minded companion for some quality time together, or a full romance with a proper life partner, Dating for Seniors has you covered. Meet senior singles now! Check out some of our senior.

Women don’t like it when a man tries to sell himself to her by listing off all of his great or beneficial qualities. Instead, what you need to do is trigger her feelings of sexual attraction for you.

When you’ve triggered a woman’s feelings of sexual attraction, she then starts to look at everything else about you in a more positive light. Here’s how it works…

As you will discover from the video above, it’s possible for you to attract women who are a lot younger than you.

Most women (not all) are open to feeling attracted to different types of guys and if you can make a woman feel what she’s hoping to feel with a guy, she will be much more open to dating and getting into a relationship with a man of your age.

Getting Past Your Age

I think it’s fair to say that most people still consider dating to be something that “young” people do.

Despite the changes in our society, there still seems to be an unwritten law that once you’re passed a certain age you’re too “old” for dating. Yet, if you’ve reached that certain age and you’re a single man looking for love, the fact is that you’re going to find it in the same way that guys in their 20s and 30s do – and that’s dating.

Dating after 50 is no different to dating at any other age, because the principles of it remain the same.

After all, the whole idea of dating is to get to know the woman you’re attracted to and to figure out whether she is someone that you’re interested in being in a relationship with. However, with that said, the most common mistake that guys over 50 make when trying to woo a woman, is that they forget the all important element of sexual attraction.

Getting Back in to the Dating Scene

It’s understandable that many men in their 50s, who find themselves returning to the dating scene after decades of being in a relationship, start off feeling a bit insecure and unsure of themselves. If this is you, I can help you.

Insecurity and lack of confidence in your attractiveness and value to women at any age is a barrier to success with women, but the good news is that any man can overcome that at any stage in their life and irrespective of age. All a guy needs is a willingness to learn.

“But, I Don’t Have My Youthful Looks…”

Something a lot of guys in their 50s say to me is, “Dan, how am I supposed to attract a new woman into my life now that I’ve no longer got my youthful appearance? Surely, most women aren’t going to be interested in an old fella like me.”

What such men don’t realise is that I also get comments from guys half their age saying, “How am I going to attract a woman without movie star good looks?

Isn’t it all about being tall, dark and handsome?” I answer everyone in the same way – a man’s looks have very little to do with how attractive he is.

The notion that “attractiveness” is the way you look, the way you style your hair, the clothes you wear or even the car you drive is nonsense, but it’s the nonsense that is shoved in our faces day in and day out through TV, magazine and billboard advertising campaigns.

They want you to think that way because it makes you buy their cars, deodorants, colognes and expensive clothing.

You know the sort of thing I mean – wear a certain brand of deodorant and you’ll be irresistible to women, wear a certain brand of watch and you’ll become a distinguished gentleman in a woman’s eyes, wear a certain designer label and you’ll have soccer star status, etc.

Yet, when you go and buy those things, women still aren’t going to be interested unless you have the confidence and belief in yourself as a man to back it up.

A watch isn’t going to get you laid and a hairstyle isn’t going to make women say, “Wow, now THAT is what I’ve been looking for! The way you’ve styled your hair is perfect! Let’s have sex!”

In the real world (not the TV commercial world), women are attracted to confident men; they don’t buy into the false world of advertising “attractiveness,” so why should you? The sooner you let go of the idea that your not-so-good-looks are holding you back, the sooner you can get on with discovering what women really find attractive in a man.

Focussing on what you don’t have gets you nowhere, but focussing on what you do have gets you moving towards having whatever you want. Women love a man who believes in himself because he decides to believe in himself for deeper reasons.

Having temporary confidence over a new shirt you’ve just bought at a designer shop isn’t going to last very long at all. In fact, if you’re going around basing your confidence on superficial things like that, women will see right through it.

Some will even challenge you on the spot by playing hard to get, making it difficult for you to keep the conversation going and so on, so they can check to see how confident you really are. When they see that it’s just a front, boom – it’s over.

You Deserve to Be Confident After 50

At this point in your life, you’ve no doubt experienced a lot and have done many good or even great things in your life.

You’re also probably not to bad in the bedroom either.

Those and countless other things should be your reason for feeling confident.

Allow yourself to have that confidence, because when you do, women will love you for it. Dating after 50 is easy for guys who believe in themselves and know that their experience with manhood and their ability to “be the man” is like a drug to women of all ages.

If you don’t have a lot of confidence or are lacking in the masculinity department (mental and emotional masculinity), let me help you out. I’ve heard back from 100s of men over 50 who are now sleeping with women in their 20s and 30s, as well as men who’ve found a beautiful new women to share the rest of their life with.

Don’t Believe the Lies from TV Advertising Campaigns

There’s nothing that advertising campaigns like to do more than appeal to a man’s insecurities surrounding his age.

Think about it; they show the “sad” grey-haired man and then the “happy” man with newly dyed youthful-looking hair. He dyes his hair and then he gets the girl. Yet, in the real world, the many women I’ve spoken to about men dying their hair have said the same sorts of things, “It looks silly. You can tell that the guy is insecure and is trying to be something he’s not.”

As I’ve already said in this article, all women love men who believe in themselves for deeper reasons. Being a girl and dying to hair to “look young” is not cool and it’s not attractive. If anything, it actually makes you look like a guy who secretly isn’t into girls, if you catch my drift.

Hopefully you’re one of the smarter men who isn’t being tricked into thinking that women want you to look radiant and youthful. Hopefully you realize that men actually become more attractive to women as they age, as long as (and I repeat, as long as) the guy retains and builds on his confidence, continues to push forward in life and beyond what he has already achieved.

If you’re wanting to get a date after 50, but you’re lacking confidence and going nowhere in life, don’t expect women of any age to be lining up to be with you.

Most women, whether they’re 25 or 55, are instinctively attracted to the same characteristics in a man. Silicon nerd reddit. What women really want is to be with a man who knows how to make them feel like a woman and who is able to consistently “be the man” around her and in life, and that’s it.

Yes, some women are picky about looks, but many women are more flexible with what they will find attractive in a guy than most men realize.

So get over that imaginary hurdle and stop thinking that a wrinkle cream or hair die will get you a hot lady. Stop thinking that all you need to do is spend all of your money on a sports car and THEN you’ll get the girl. Just believe in yourself, be a man and make women feel like women.

As you will discover from the video above, the real reason why a lot of good men fail with women is that they simply don’t know how to attract women.

When you interact with a woman, she is only going to look at you as a potential lover, boyfriend or husband if you can make her feel sexually attracted to you.

The more sexual attraction you are able to make women feel by way of your personality, confidence, vibe, body language, behavior and attitude, the more options you will have with women. It’s as simple as that.

“But, I’ve Got Baggage…”

Of course you do; you’re 50!

It’s no surprise that a man in his 50s might be carrying a little more “baggage” with him than a man in his 20s. It’s totally normal, expected and nothing to worry about at all.

For instance: Maybe he’s got kids, maybe he’s got six dogs, three cats and a goldfish, but is any of that an issue? It will be an issue only if he chooses to see it in a negative way.

Sure, you might have different sets of responsibilities by the time you reach your 50s compared to a guy in his 20s, but you don’t need to consider it “baggage,” it’s simply part of who you are.

There’s nothing wrong with you having a past with other women, or having a dog that you love or having your children come and stay with you on weekends. Women are attracted to men who know who they are; men who have established their own set of values in life and men who have the strength of character to stand by those values and always be true to themselves.

Knowing who you are and knowing what you want from life makes you an attractive man at any age. To get over this particular hurdle regarding dating after 50, all that you need to do is realise that most women (not all) are interested in “who” you are, not “what” you are.

“But, I’m Set in My Ways…”

If you want help and advice about dating after 50 because you’ve realized that the world has changed since you were last on the dating scene, you need to be prepared to learn from current experts in the field.

Trying to use advice that was applicable 40 years ago is only going to cause you trouble because, believe me, things really have changed. To master the modern dating scene, you need to be open to learning and that means being open to change. If you’re too set in your ways and you’re not open to change, things are going to stay exactly as they are.

Don’t make the mistake of getting locked into thoughts of, “Well I am what I am, so it’s too late to change anything now.” Success with women is all about taking steps to become the best version of yourself it’s possible to be, so you can attract a quality woman and keep that woman (if you want to!).

Don’t settle for second best or worse – nothing at all. You deserve to be happy and have a beautiful woman to share your life with, or if you prefer, many beautiful women to share your bed with.

If you’re dating after 50 and are looking for advice, then let me help you. I’ll show you the way to quickly having your choice of beautiful women…and you don’t need to change a thing about your physical appearance to make that happen.

Knock, Knock, The Revolutions Coming

1. Respond to these quotes by Greta Thunberg; choose at least 3 of them to discuss and provide context for their appearance in the film. (1-2paragraphs)

"Why would I need an education if there is no future?"

This quote was right at the beginning of the film when the camera followed her on the school strike in front of the parliament building. A woman came up to her and said that she should be in school, and Greta responded with this quote. I mean, anyone can argue anything in the world, but I find it hard to argue with this. Why would we need an education if there is no future? What is the point? Why would I prepare for a life I will not be able to live because the climate is going to destroy everything I hope for?

"Once the climate crisis has gotten your attention, then you can't look away."

This is that movie moment when the villain tells you something, and then you can’t unsee it. The climate crisis is everywhere around us, and once we notice it is hard to ignore. I am completely aware of how much waste I produce, and am constantly trying to reduce it. I am aware of everything around me, and doing my best on an individual level to be part of the solution. Just like in the movies, it’s hard to ignore the big red button that has the potential to destroy the world.

"The eyes of all future generations are on you. Change is coming whether you like it or not."

Greta has so many stand alone, booming quotes. She says what she feels and isn’t afraid of the consequences. Any time I watch the news, all I think is “god I wish I could just scream at those people and say ‘look how stupid you look.’ Greta does that, in a more effective way, but she says what these politicians need to hear. Whether they decide to listen or not. This is a crisis that has never been dealt with before, we don’t have a road map. However, if these people in power, who have the choice to spark action and fix the problem don’t do that, everyone will be watching. Never underestimate the power of the public, change will happen whether the people on the top like it or not.

2. Does the "I Am Greta" documentary provide a portrait of the teenage activist that evokes humanizing empathy? Provide some specific, detailed examples.

I think this documentary absolutely provides a portrait of Greta that evokes empathy. The entire state of this world is falling upon the shoulders of a 17 year old girl. Not just a state, or a country, or a continent, the world. There are a lot of issues with how the media portrays her, and how the public views Greta as this young girl who was somehow chosen to be the star of the show. Whereas this documentary gives light that she is the one choosing to do this because no one else is. When she was on the boat talking into her phone saying how she doesn’t know if she can continue because it’s a lot of responsibility; I was crying because I just wanted to hug her. There is an immense sense of responsibility she feels, and no one is listening. The film shows her going to the conferences, and big climate initiatives, meetings with world leaders and thats all we see because no real change has been done by these people she’s met with. That’s not on her. This film allows us to see to cement wall she is pushing up against, and all we want to do is push with her.

3. What did the film reveal to you that was new information about Greta, her family, her upbringing, and the role her parents play in supporting her? (a thoughtful paragraph)

I have never seen any photos of her parents, until viewing this film. Truthfully I forgot they existed. There was one point in the film where Greta was reading a nasty article about herself, and it said that her parents were exploiting her. I think that is the complete opposite, and not true. Her parents are doing nothing but supporting, and doing their best to protect their child. Given that is what the film made it look like. It’s quite amazing the support her parents have given her in that they have also completely changed their lifestyle. They drive an electric car, they eat consciously, they strike with her. They very clearly do this together.

Also, I was very curious about how much money she makes from all of this. I was surprised but not shocked that she doesn’t except money from her activism. Her net worth is guessed somewhere around 1 million but no one really knows. All money she would have received from this film, or anyone in connection with her, went to her foundation or donated to other organizations for climate change. I think this is extremely important to note about her and her family.

4. What new facts did you learn about climate change? (1 paragraph)

This was definitely mentioned at one point, and throughout the film, but climate change doesn’t just apply to the climate itself. The crisis in totality effects everything. The job market, the economy, family income, wealth, etc. I could go on and on about how much this issue effects everyone and everything. When I originally read the Green New Deal, I was surprised to find that a majority of the legislative was not necessarily about climate change, it dealt a lot more with economic equity in underprivileged communities. The climate crisis is a crisis with a ticking time bomb. The issue is that the 1% of people who hold the wealth in our world don’t want to do anything about it, because it’s expensive and ambitious. However, like Greta says, if they fail us we will never forgive them.

5. Greta began Strike for Climate in 2018. By September 2019, she arrived in New York for the global Youth Climate Strike. 7 million participated around the world, making it the largest climate strike in history. Were you aware of how quickly the Fridays for Future and Climate Strike movement grew? How and why do you think this movement took off like wildfire among international youth? (1 paragraph)

Truthfully, I haven’t heard of the term Fridays for Future but I am very aware of the Climate Strike movement, and climate change activism. I have a lot to say, both good and bad about youth activism. First off, the older generation acts as if youth activism is a new thing now regarding climate change. When in fact, young people are usually the ones fighting. I feel like every generation has their fight, and climate change is a part of my generations fight. So many times we hear “this is for the children”or “we are leaving the world to the future children” but so often those are just words the older generations speak, they do not mean it. There is such a massive issue with older politicians saying that young people don’t have a place yet, when they are making policy that very much effects us. Especially now, in the US political climate, the older generation is not preparing younger people to lead. However, that doesn’t stop us from making our own seat at the table.

I think this movement became so popular so fast, because there is limited time to fix this issue. No one was listening. I also think because we are so tech savvy that technology and social media played a huge role in campaigning, and spreading information to everyone as fast as possible.

6. Who were some of the first celebrities to champion Greta's cause? How did you first become aware of the Fridays for Future movement? (1 paragraph)

There are a lot of top names in Hollywood who have come out in support of Greta, and the call for change in regards to climate change. People like Anne Hathaway, Pryinka Chopra, Leonardo DiCaprio, and even Bebe Rehxa dedicated a song to Greta. The more people you have shouting from the mountain tops, the easier it will be to hear them from far away.

7. What is the Paris Agreement? Why are we so far from meeting its goals? (1 paragraph)

The Paris Agreement is an international treaty, binding countries to take initiatives to limit global warming. These plans are extremely ambitious, as that is the language they have chosen to use, because steps like these have never been done before. We are very far from meeting our goals, specifically in the United States because Donald Trump ending up leaving the Paris Agreement as soon as he got to office. However, you cannot simply just walk out the front door. The process of leaving was a bit complicated because the agreement had to be in effect for 3 years. I believe that in 2019 the US officially left. However, President Biden has signed an Executive Order rejoining the Paris Agreement. Treaties and legislation need to be made and signed into action. We have become a country of reaction, instead of preemptive action. Issues like climate change need preemptive action. It will be too late if we choose to react to the problem, instead of trying to get ahead of it.

8. How is Greta handling her newfound celebrityhood? What does the film reveal about her personal challenges? (1 paragraph)

I don’t think anyone knows how to prepare for being in the spotlight. Let alone a highly political spotlight at such a young age. What I like about Greta is that she doesn’t care about celebrityhood, or how many likes she gets on instagram, or what clothes she wears. She is doing this because she cares, and is using the platform she has earned. Yes, she has Aspergers, but that is just a part of her. It doesn’t control her. When a reporter asked a question and he said that she suffers from Aspergers, she replied that she has it but doesn’t suffer from it. It doesn’t define her, but it is used against her by grummy old men who don’t agree with her. Of course it is difficult for her to be pushed into extreme social situations, and I couldn’t even fathom what is going on in her mind during those times. But. she knows it is for a greater good. I think it would be silly to say that any person anywhere in any position of celebrity hood doesn’t deal with personal challenges.

It’s also important to note the issues of ageism, and gender she faces as well. So often these politicians are old men and women, so why would anyone want to listen to a young girl. It is shocking to hear her speak because one doesn’t expect to hear such eloquence and knowledge from a young woman. I think of that saying, “Children should be seen and not heard” even within that saying ‘children’ is often switched out with ‘women’ as well. She has two very harsh distinct challenges going up against her.

9. Why do you think so many teenage girls are taking the helm on climate change? (1 paragraph)

I don’t think it’s just climate change, I think young women are and have taken on many issues in the past and present. Where would we be without women, women who advocate and aren’t afraid to speak their minds. All I can say is that men have had their time, and continue to do nothing about it. There is something about powerful women, young and old, coming together and speaking their minds, saying what needs to be said in order to achieve a difference.

10. What was your takeaway from the footage on the solar powered Catamaran of Greta's trip across the Atlantic? Did you follow her voyage in real time on the trip tracker? (1 paragraph)

I was getting sea sick just watching the footage from the boat. Like Greta said, she doesn’t want to be a person who says one thing and then does another. She is consistent and persistent. Anyone would have thought if they were to speak at the UN in New York to just fly across the world, but no. She chose to stick her ground and prove a point. Even if it is a little inconvenient, it’s doable. We can all make changes and sacrifices, but ultimately met our goals.

11. Did you participate in the Global Youth Climate Strike on Sept 11th 2019? What was your experience? (1 paragraph)

Unfortunately I did not participate. For some reason I can’t remember where I was or what I was doing on this day, However, if I had known I more than likely would have been there.

Admitting there is a problem

I have decided to start blogging again. I need to focus on recovery.

I am recovering from trauma.

It was today that I took a step back and realized my actions. I see the direction I am heading and I don’t like it. It makes me so ill. I have wasted so much time on my life with boys and trying to win their affections. There is a glaring problem and its me.

I will be honest. There is a boy. That I am in love with. And that is ok. I can be in love with him. I can still ache to kiss his lips and hear his laugh and listen to his stories. But it was today that his words most made sense.

I was so afraid to be without him. That in itself is the problem and the confusion. How is it you can find someone who is exactly what you want and wants the exact life you want and seems to be you but in another body? How is it you can know in your heart that you love them and that it will never change, but exist on your own?

I came from an abusive relationship. It was mostly mentally and emotionally but there was also some physical. I wanted to leave almost immediately but I didn't for a variety of reasons. It was hard. It was draining. It was hurtful. But I still left. I am able to talk to him and not listen to the lies he used to work to manipulate me. I made choices in that relationship to make me a stronger person such as starting school again. I chose to still be physically active and still go see my friends. I chose to rise up even though he tried to drag me down.

I am done with that chapter of life. I am ready to move beyond it. Put space between it. I accept what happened and I know I can’t change the past but only the future. That stuff I know.

Its all the future relationships that I can concerned about and hopefully its just this last one that I need to work on.

I met someone new. And he is everything I wanted. He is like me, but boy form. I find such delight in his company. I listen to him talk for hours and I love everything he says. We share common interests and activities. Our morals and ethics align so perfectly. He strives for a future I abandoned years ago. I know I can be happy with him. I know that my heart loves him. But I am worried that I haven’t tended to the wounds inside. I am worried that he is lying and cheating and doing all the things that were done before by another person. That, my friend is the problem. I trust in myself to know my own feelings. I am just at a loss on how to connect. I want more than anything to connect. I want to give to him all he gave to me. I want more than anything to do this right.

I want to love him the way he deserves to be loved. He already showed me he can love me the way I deserve. I know he can love me but he doesn’t believe I can love him back. We tried to pretend these last few months. And it was good. Mostly. There were moments where both of us were hung up by our past. There were moments where we stopped because we each ripped open scars of the other. And these moments are scary.

And I don’t want you to misconstrue what I am saying.

I am smothering him. I am too needy. He is asking for space so I can heal and so he can heal from his own wounds. We both started therapy respectively during this void. The space scares me. It terrifies me that the one happiness I found in all this will be lost. I want it more than ever. And this is the problem.

I am not soothing myself. I am not loving myself. I am not healing myself.

So that, my friend, is why I am here.

So, what must I do. First, I must stop focusing on him. It is so hard because I am afraid he will forget me. I am afraid he will find someone else. I am afraid that I will become dull and a mistake. I am afraid he will think I forgot him. I am afraid he will think I am abandoning him. I check his social media a million times seeing if he’s active. Is that why he isn’t looking at my text? Is at work? Is he in a meeting? Did he like something of mine? It is disgusting. I do not want this path. I do not want these intrusive thoughts.

{ I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map And knew that somehow I could find my way back Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart }

I love him. I saw it in his eyes. He loves me.

I need to give him space. Trust him. Trust the space. Trust he will reach out when he feels comfortable. Trust that the reasons he liked me is because of my unique features as a human and that his feelings wont change.

I am guilty for a variety of reasons. For bringing him into my mess. Its not fair. I have an utter mess around me from leaving. Custody. Child support. Repairing walls. Finding a new apartment. Moving on. How can I expect him to bring his boys into my mess. They are too precious. That’s the thing though. I have already brought my daughter to him. She asks about him every day. Asks when she can see him, see his boys. Was that a mistake? Maybe, but maybe not.

See. Obsessing. Nope. Not doing this.

What are my features that make me an amazing human being?

I am a great mother.

I am Loyal. Dependable. Hardworking. Truthful. Adventurous. Curious. Funny. Cynical. Problem Solver. Creative. Kind. Physically active. Competitive. Ambitious. Hands on. Fixer. Dreamer. Romantic. Good cook. Beautiful. Infectious personality. Goofy. Caring. Organized. Messy. Empathetic.

I love to Hike. Read. Paint. Create things. Blog. Clean. Teach. Grow. Explore. Run. Swim. Build 3d models. Overcome challenges. Help my friends. Watch movies and documentaries. Learning.

I find joy in My daughter. Doing well in school. Creating something. Organization. My AGs. Learning new things. Exploring new places. Being outside. Sunshine. Animals. Beauty. Nature. Music. Writing. Movies. Yoga. Purple. Ikea. Friends. Lists.

I can do this right?

{ So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light 'Cause oh that gave me such a fright But I will hold on as long as you like Just promise me that we'll be alright

But the ghosts that we knew made us blackened or blue But we'll live a long life

And the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view And we'll live a long life }
