Hi all,

So here's my story - was married for more than 25 years and then my wife passed away after battling the terrible C. I loved her very much and the privilege of a "normal Marriage" (Ups and Downs). My kids have both recently finished studying and life is terribly lonely at my age - late 50's.

I have a large circle of friends but none have anyone to introduce me to and my professional status/position certainly doesn't allow me to meet through work contacts.

I don't do the pub-crawling scene and so signed onto various dating sites. One works (somewhat) while the other's were disastrous.

In the past year I had many short meetings/dates and had 2 committed relationships that lasted about 3 months each.
Each one ended suddenly - and I promise you this - not because of something I was doing (I'm honestly not being arrogant or in denial) but because the ladies I've met 42 to 60 years old) had the "so-called baggage" in abundance. Gents - we have to treat our ladies so much better!

I've joined this site particularly because I crave physical connection, pampering and being seduced. I don't believe for even one moment that I can meet the new love of my life here.
My biggest guilt are along the lines that I have to pay for human connection and sex. This is a message to you beautiful service providers - What I can't stand is how unprofessional and disconnected the service offering are from many ladies on this and other sites.
