Quote: TomspurYou did a good thing but the drive from your partner must be there to want to learn. This, in my opinion is only present in younger girls. The older ones have pre-conceived notions about the world and for the to change career paths mid stream would indeed be difficult.
Keep em young Lemieux :)
Lol I'm trying. My intentions for the most part are to keep women from AC. They are -EV lol

You mean Jersey girls???? I absolutely agree. At least in the city you can find a nice actress or singer that is down on her luck and help her out.
Do you live in Manhattan? I got a few friends I could call and hook you up :) I used to live on 157th and Riverside!

Tomspur,
I did 25 years as ATC. Then, surprise, I'm a game designer. lol...one game, anyway (so far). I think it's a matter of mental agility rather than age. I know women who were set in their ways at 10; my sister was one. Then there are others like me who are eternal students of the world.
I agree that his partner had to want to learn. But, damn, man, the old-guy young-girl dynamic is lopsided enough. Give us old gals a chance, here. :)

Don't mean to make it sound chauvenistic nor did I intend to have a go at the older ladies (my wife ebing one of those :) ), so for that I apologize.
I was merely likening the situation to what would be best for Lemmy, is all :)
PS I like natural 9s no tie
Quote: Lemieux66I think a big issue is me being away. Considering that AC is a shithole, I need to move somewhere nice that's near a casino.
Yes, that's it: being away from Weds thru Saturday consistently with the reason being gambling would be hard on any relationship. If you did this and were a multi-millionaire, it may make a difference depending on the situation, but from what I gather, you are not.
If you kept it down to 1 to maybe 2 days a week you'd probably find more partners to be accepting.

That's great, which game if I may ask?
I know one woman who when a man in a bar told her he was in an open marriage asked "Shall I walk over to that telephone and ask your wife if she is in an open marriage?"Quote: aceofspadesMost marriages are "open" - it's just the other spouse doesn't yet know that
Who was it who sang "Thats when those louses go back to their spouses"?

1 day a week isn't worth that 5 hours total bus ride from Port Authority.
I'm really there just two days a week. Wednesday late night until Saturday morning. I like this because I'm around for 4 calendar days of matchplay pickups. Plus, I have days off at my job so it's not like I'm never around.

Well, life's full of choices, although putting it that way, it sounds like you really are gone two full days and not 4 whole days. Are you up-front about it at the beginning?
Quote: Lemieux66I am. I've gotten to a point where I just tell girls my schedule and what I do and if they like it, great. If not, I keep grinding the OkCupid.
Seems like a solid strategy.
I had a good run of "copy paste" on a similar site.
The math figures itself out heh heh heh
You just want to find someone to accept you for you. Someone who doesn't "prejudge" gambling/casinos. Someone who doesn't agree with your ideas on the casino, but has no problem with you going because it's what you love? Not to much to ask. But if you are not willing to give the same to other people, don't expect to find it any time soon.

I give a personalized message every time. Every time!!
Quote: Lemieux66I'm very open and willing to accept what a girl wants to do. I just don't want a girl to give me trouble and I won't give any back. We can both do our thing.
Exactly. So you are for gay marriage then?

There way too many weirdos on the okcupid. Remember, quality White dudes are in scarce supply, so work the +++++++++EV, hey hey!

Is it wrong of me that, when I did that sort of thing, I almost always only looked at the photograph? Does that make me shallow or a naughty boy??? :)

Lol it makes you just like me.
Seriously though, how many times do you wanna read the same nonsense all these women write... "I'm tired of drama, please be an honest guy, I hate talking about myself (usually followed by six paragraphs explaining how down to earth she is), I'm sick of the bar scene, etc etc"
Best way to go is... Skip all the way down to the bottom, randomly pick something she said, and write a message that includes how strongly you agree with whatever that was. Then hope she's gullible enough to think that means you read everything. If she's a hot girl than she's got 200 messages in her inbox and you're lucky if she ever reads yours anyway.

Had a friend use the line "I'm not married, but my wife is..."

Yeah online dating can get a bit much and it is really a lottery because whatever you find attractive, pretty much 80% of the men on any dating site finds attractive too.
I have found that quantity works. Hit up all the hot girls and someone down your list will eventually reply. At least then you have an average to decent looking woman on your arm.
Remember, a hot chick belongs to everyone, an average one is yours for life!!! :)

Is "both" an option? ;) Seriously, men are visual. We all know this, even women.

Quote: Lemieux66I skim the profiles for something interesting to talk about.
Do you come across any who list gambling, poker, casinos, etc among their interests? That, along with some attractive pics would be the dating site jackpot.
I found one like that once. Wish it had worked out.

I find the random girls who say they "like poker" but usually that consists of them playing with their family. Even the ones who have gone to a casino to play really go once in a blue moon and play 2/4 limit.
I want a girl I can both share poker strategies and bump uglies with!

I'd definitely lead with that on your internet dating profile.Quote: Lemieux66
