People who date people they aren't attracted to are phonies. I find that some older men have baggage,some do not. Y do we have to label one another and make (ass)umptions? This goes for both male and female. I try to have an open mind. U guys are going to miss out on a really sweet,good,beautiful woman(women). Well,it's less for me to weed out. THANKS. My mailboxes are full. So is my cellphone. ;-)

We need to be fair here. I have found many older women that have baggage. In fact a very high percentage. In fact some younger women have baggage. Since I only date women I can not comment about men.

No - older men do not have baggage... We're exempt from life's experiences because we're too disinterested to let anything sink in.

I hate the term "baggage"!!! Some would say that I have baggage because I have a daughter that lives with me, but the people that say that will get told to fuk off anyway!

The word "baggage" in itself is a wide open prairie range. If one described the 'slang' use in their own meaning of the word they chose to use, then understanding is met. But if the word is used just "No baggage" without explanation to their definition, then we would (?). When I first was a newbie to online date sites, I was puzzled with the word. I wasn't sure if it mean't don't bring luggage, I will come to you or no hotel hotties allowed, or etc...hehee. You see what I was thinking here.
I learned on my own pondering through profiles using this word in 'slang' text. Some would clearify to mis-direct confusion of readers. But overall, the word is a great word heh? If used with a definition phrase like, "No baggage, leave your past relationship issues at the train station" or "No baggage, want easy going and opened minded." At least I understand the definitions that are used to charactorize the word.

I think baggage is a term that can be viewed alot of different ways so therefore everyone could have baggage just depends how you look at it.

After several relationships I can honestly say that none are really alike in any big way.

And now I'm going to say something just like that.
My ex wife always compared me to her ex husband. Even when it was meant as a compliment I didn't like it.

About the phoney part--I get mail all the time from women who I wouldn't think would give me the time of day. Their profiles very clearly state that they are seeking their soulmate, while mine states just as clearly that I am not. I always reply, and tell them that I think I'm much too promiscuous for their tastes.
About the baggage part--I guess kids and child support payments would be considered "baggage." However, I have no "emotional baggage" whatsoever. I've always been a live and let live kinda guy.

Like a lady friend of mine says, "Of course I have 'baggage'...but they're cute and they all match!"
But seriously...~ANYBODY~ who has managed to keep breathing air and make it into their forties has got a much more complicated history than someone just out of college. We've had ~Lives~ for crissake! It takes its toll, but it also gives us a certain depth of character that we didn't have in our naive 20's.
Maybe it isn't "baggage" we need to worry about. Everybody comes with a past.
I've dated women that most people might say have "baggage." One's that aren't really ready for prime time. I'd say they have "issues" they haven't quite worked out, or just don't give a damn about.
I can handle "baggage" if it comes with the right "attitude."
Bob

Everyone has baggage. Male or female. Especially those of us who have managed to overcome adversities. That is what shapes us into the individuals that we are. It's all comes down to how we maintain and manage it.

I believe everyone over say 25 has baggage its called life experiences. People observe who they date and how they act and get wisdom of where potential dates have the possibility of leading.
I'm 40 and do find that older men have baggage who are divorced and some aren't over it and they've been divorced for 5 plus years! The others around my age have such monsterous lists of qualities/qualifications that no normal female can match it.
Personally, I've had one extremely bad relationship from my early-mid 20s and never want to get that kind of treatment from a man ever again. So my baggage is if you start the verbal abuse, spend excessive amounts of time with your friends so you can distance me from you on a regular basis until you want some sex again, then yes that is my baggage and you are history if you practice these kind of player actions. Actually you can call this learning from life experiences and repeating mistakes. Some people are dense and keep on making the same mistakes over and over again thinking they are suckers for love but in reality they are stupid.
