yes for the fitness
It’s been a major change for me this year and it’s really helped
and as I do two evening classes a week it relieves boredom too

don’t go hog wild and tie him to bed, but you could certainly take more control, also he probably (almost certainly) needs to cut down on the booze, and get a bit fitter, I’ve dropped a bit of weight this year and am a bit fitter and I’ve got better erections ( I think) and more stamina in the bedroom and better “thrusts” so to speak, not sure I would call it dreamy, but seems to work okay 👍🏼

how about trying a bit of a tantric Willy massage
some oil , very slow ?

This is the thing..
he’s quite fit. Athletic and 6’2”. Erections are hard as rock and on demand. That is not a problem at all. The issue is moods. In fact I was so silly I thought all guys over 50 were like him sexually…What a mistake. He has never had DE or ED or semi hard floppy sausage. So the sex is out of this world.
He goes to his cave a lot and has really bad days… that’s where we have an issue Howlongy

Wow Worsy…I’m not surprised you feel conflicted at times… you are in an exclusive relationship now for almost a year… I don’t believe he hasn’t developed strong feelings for you
What on earth is stopping you from saying “I love you”

Mila14 · 15/12/2022 21:13

Howlongy…he runs…sometimes daily so that’s why he’s ultra fit

My good friend says the same - in that it is a way to spend time - in a very positive way x

i don’t know
for a long while I didn’t trust him because of the caving , and i thought he had feelings for ex

now I don’t (he’s just incomplete about it )

let’s see
do we have to say it ? Why ? !!???

@5thWisdom I don't know what to say...

Apologies have asked for that post to be removed as it has my name in it. I'll edit and repost.

confuseddotcom22 · 15/12/2022 21:44

@5thWisdom It'll be a game changer for you. I've been on my fitness journey for over a year now and as I realised why I felt so down recently (proper love bombing) I didn't go to the gym for 3 days. Tonight I went back and the endorfines came back too. Plus two of my favourite men at the gym were there as well. I made an extra effort then 🙃

Getting fitter gives you more confidence, better posture etc. It's noticeable in so many ways.

I'm more lurking around here than anything, but I really enjoy reading everything. It gives me confidence that I'll get there one day. 🙏

5thWisdom · 15/12/2022 21:45

Moderators are wonderful here: so he said -

It was good :) and yours, also 5th i may come across as someone displeasured by you at this moment, I is quite high on weed and that would suggest I'm a drug user, which I am and am not, I do weed sometimes to help my mind progress, and mushrooms on a monthly basis to help my mind expand,
Hullusongenics (natural ones) on a yearly basis, to keep it going forwards.
What I'm trying to say in all that garble, is.
I am high right now and sorry (or more I do not wish you to find me negatively)

This feels impossible.
Or I need to move.

5thWisdom · 15/12/2022 21:52

@ICrunchCrispsNotNumbers thank you.

Urgh. The important part of what was deleted was that I've take heed of mothership's advice to take a step back.

Cross Fit. Human interaction. Open mind. Block the druggies! 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄😂

This is exactly what I need.

Am so glad to hear that you've benefited from this routine.

ICrunchCrispsNotNumbers · 15/12/2022 22:03

@5thWisdom absolutely. Especially people like him. I mean, who tells a complete stranger that they're on drugs? 🙄

You're doing fine, my lovely ❤️

Blimey, he sounds fitter than me then !, just needs to cut down on the booze as it’s a mood enhancer, if he’s in down mood booze will just make a worse

Just another observation- from afar, as I'm not investing too much now.

Is how little men seem to take care of themselves, face and body wise, but expect women, according to their profile demands, to be in tip top condition. Their skin is awful, no attention to their clothes, hair, appearance but are demanding perfection from a lady friend 😂

It's quite interesting.

Absolutely. Also guys after 50… beer belly and not bothered about looking smart or toned . There is a huge physical drop and 0 self awareness. They think they are still hot!! Many look way older than their age. Whereas a lot of women over 50 …you really don’t know what age they are. I get surprised all the time in the gym. So many ladies look awesome for their age!! They dress also beautifully.
