hi Darlene i enjoy following you and i am happy for your new life...and seeing so many changes in our life...Ionly have one request pleasee try and watch your language Good luck in your future endevors. have fun
Fuck you. I don’t put up with dating site men bullshit and I’m certainly not going to put up with your bullshit of telling me how to talk. How dare you try to change who I am. It’s a complete insult.
@@darlene.michaudlmao looove it!
It's Darlene's channel so she can speak how she chooses. I find it quite refreshing, actually as I too curse a lot. I'm suspicious of people who don't. If you don't like it, don't watch.
Yes, do you Darlene. 😅
Some older men don't want an independent woman. They get confused and send mixed signals. But at least you are meeting them, learning as you go and showing us what's happening. You'll have great content with these new adventures.
Dang Darlene, never a dull moment. Living large. Here's to more fun doing stuff for you!
I was laughing so hard when you laughed about the “Sunday suggestion offended guy” and you popped out with “I’m a dancing wh--“ 😂😂it’s not just you, it’s all of us gals that are single that are saying wtfff when the guys say one thing and backtrack 😂apparently, they don’t read their own texts! ❤
As an older lady I have come to the realization that by the time we get to be senior citizens we have all been through so much it is hard to find anyone.
I am so glad that you can seize the moment and dance away!!! A simple joy in life but it is JOY! That's wonderful! BTW, I enjoy your humor so much.
I feel the same about music, especially live music…the right live music is just so magical for influencing joy! Glad to see you enjoying life on your terms.
Lol😂 I almost peed my pants when you said where you going dance at ??by the green beans !! !! So funny
"It was nice.Until it wasn't! " lol! You go girl!
What a personality you have! You're a gem! And hilarious too....Love it!.....Keep on being you!
And yes music is magical 😊
and men can be on the mental side .....Just stay safe out there!
It sounds like he wanted to control your next meet and didn't want you to set stuff up without his say so.
Amen to that! Never settle!
I’ve been divorced for 15 years and tried the dating sites with disastrous results. Now when I get to feeling like I’d like a man in my life I just remember how crappy it was and start sewing and being in my happy place again. Love watching your journey so I don’t have to do it again!! I’m a long time follower!!
I have tried a few dating sites as well Darlene. It's crazy to think if "we like " someone they almost immediately translate that honesty into walking down the aisle. It's rough in your 60's dealing with game players.....very weird!!!
So much fun to see you so happy and having fun. Been hoping it would happen to you and now it has. You are a real social butterfly.
Oh my gosh Darlene you are so funny. You can be the green bean dancer
Stay away from those pole beans though....lmao
I admire your strength in looking for what you want. Life would be so much easier if people would just say what they mean! That is why I love your channel, your honesty is awesome!
I totally believe in manifesting our own happiness changing and our paradigms!! I right there with you!!
I love it when you read the dating sites lol you look very pretty.
I'm not reading the profiles in this video. I'm telling you about my own personal experiences! Look out... I'm dating! lol
@Darlene Michaud that guy sounds like my brother. I think back when he was younger ... he fried his brain lol and talks in riddles. Lol
Next to the green beans?? LMFAO
You have the right attitude Darlene. I did this years ago and was surprised at the amount of men who werent so interested in meeting in person. They wanted to flirt and send emails/texts everyday, but terrified at the prospect of a date. They wanted to reel you in with a photo from their glory days 20yrs ago. The amount of men who lied about their age, what they looked like or their desire to have a relationship was astounding. You learn to quickly say "NEXT !" and laugh it off like you are doing. Good for you for not wasting your time !
Glad you had a good time ❤❤❤
I love your attitude and your courage to get back out there and deal with the dating scene. Keep on dancing my friend and letting that fun laugh of yours carry on over to us❤️🤣🤣🤣❤️
I never realized just how therapeutic music can be! I think music is the very last thing that schools should be cutting! It’s amazing how animals react to music. There is a guy who plays piano music to elephants, and the elephants clearly love it. There is a girl playing a flute and cows come to the fence to hear her. This morning I saw a video where a farmer plays in a band, and his band played for the cows.. The cows all gathered around to enjoy the music. And babies - babies dancing, or reacting, to music are so enjoyable! Amazing!!
I watched this while getting ready this morning and loved it. Metallica is my hubby’s favourite band and Enter Sandman is definitely one of their best! 🎉🎉
Holy cow Darlene, I had to watch it twice to gather it all in. Be very grateful this happened early because it would have been a nightmare, out of the frying pan into the fire! He smacks of being narcissistic, or worse Borderline Personality Disorder. No matter which it is you would be paying the price for his past whatever’s. You totally deserve better than that kind of shoddy behavior. As you said, onward to the next possibility! 😎
I love to hear about your dating extravaganzas!!! I wish you would have read the Sunday date guys long reply. Its great to laugh along with you. "Baby baby dont get hooked on me".🎶
You have a strong head on your shoulders, just be careful!
One day you will meet the right man!
Thanks for all the updates!
WOW Darlene you look AMAZING. 💜
Thank you! I needed that today! I certainly didn't get compliments from the guys I went out with. Not one. Ever.
@@darlene.michaud, I am really enjoying watching you blossom.
I’m 72 and a widow. I don’t go anywhere or really do anything so I’m living vicariously thru you. You have kicked butt with your weight loss. I’m sure your darling granddaughter and son are so proud of you. 🤗
@@darlene.michaud okay, there’s a big clue…. You don’t want a push over, but look for tiny things, small compliments, opening a door, walking in front of you, just small clues can send big signals (red flags)… I have so done that (dating sites) now married. You are soooo grounded Darlene, and I think some men might find that intimidating. Keep that up! You know who you are, you will find someone to match wits with. Just do what you are doing!!! You are way ahead. Enjoy! Keep dancing 💃🏼!!! You always look beautiful, you are extremely smart! I knew on my first date this was the man I was going to marry, so you will feel it when it happens. (Oddly it was through friends, not those years on dating sites;) 😆🥰🥰🥰
The dating game at our age is hilarious! The guys are all so strange and freaked out at the littlest of things. Can we just go out and dance??? Get a grip you guys! Rock on Darlene!💌
Darlene, I felt exactly as you do now when I was a dancing FOOL way back in the Sixties. It was like a drug, the music. My marriage ended all the fun, but I still like my music really loud, and I have no hearing problems. You go, girl!
dancing with friends is so fun
I loved your video, made me laugh so much. Please keep us updated on your dating adventures
My mom used to say, put them all in a paper bag, shake it up and they all ,
Come out the same. When I was young I thought she was nuts.
Now, I believe it..
I like to listen to you tell it like it is . I laugh right along with you.
I would definitely watch a series of Darlene Goes to High School Dances 😆
You're right!! Music is humanity's gift to the Universe!!
That's the perfect way to put it!
Thanks! Love that you are out dancing!
Omg Darlene your cracking me ip...lol and its 5am...lmaooo..yeah the Dating Game..fun fun..lol
“It was nice, until it wasn’t”! That was the best line ever!
Loved hearing you describe what music does to you, how it changes you a little bit each time. There's nothing quite like the high live, thumping music gives me, I love it so much, so I understand what you mean 🙂.
That was hilarious listening to what that guy said about meeting up on Sunday, like it was too soon & you were being all clingy or something 🤷🏻♀️ lol. Even though he's the one that drove like 2hrs to see you & kept asking what you were doing all weekend, what a stalker 😜 lol. You definitely didn't come across as clingy or too much at all.
Hey, Darlene when I have a depressed day or if I am anxious about something I listen to my favorite music . Instantly my mood lifts and I get lost in the music. Music is magic when my father was in the hospital we got special permission to sneak a radio in the room so he can listen to his fave music 🎶 Frank Sinatra. He was dying from pancreatic cancer . For the first time in months he smiled. 😂 It was a wonderful day for my father. And us to see him that way .
Your neck is so defined!! I see collar bones! The weight loss is really showing. Congratulations 🎉
I'm loving your self confidence and zero tolerance for bullshit controlling behaviour. Sounds like you dodged a bullet there. Just keep trusting your instincts and living your best life. 🤗
Saw “Dating site” and “Drama”. Had to click to see what’s going on lol.
For sure I knew that would get some attention! More stories to tell soon, I hope. Hey, even bad dates will not be a waste of time. They will give me content!
You’re brave to try dating site, for me that’s too much drama. Thanks for making me laugh ( with you). Enjoyed
I think he is probably much more introverted than you. He was comfortable with possibly driving to Memphis to see you if he felt like it in the moment and could arrive and leave whenever he wanted. I think having to commit to be at your place at a certain time, and having to stay at the club until you were ready to leave felt like a lot more pressure to him. I think you were just being social by offering to drive him, and probably would have made the offer to anyone who mentioned possibly meeting you at the club. I think he self-generated the feeling of pressure because he may not be comfortable being around a lot of people and somehow transferred that in his head to you pressuring him. Both you and he might be wonderful people, but if you’re a planner who likes to be social, and he’s an introvert who likes to take things as they come, it’s better that the incompatibility became evident sooner rather than later.
Girl, I I love you. I'm so so
excited for you. And keep
having fun. ❤❤❤
I love your pins nail polish!!!!
I love your videos. Always so inspiring!
Oh Darlene! Don't you know, You never reply to these potentials if you are not wearing your Miss Cleo headscarf !!! Furthermore - ladies are supposed to wait.. and wait... and wait... for the man to make all the suggestions - and the man will die before you even meet them because they are too paranoid of Sundays! You had me laughing so hard. I love your sense of humor and candor. I give you so much credit for being honest and brave! Keep trying - somewhere, somehow soon you will "manifest" your destiny man!
Loving these adventures. Boy,there out there 😂😂 thanks for sharing..
I love the bar scene except replace dancing with hustling pool. I can't just sit & gab or watch bands & I'm a terrible dancer. I used to play the bar pool tournaments in my late teens & 20's. I'm 50 now. I miss those days. Now I just do embroidery, make memory quilts, bears & pillows etc. All my close friends live too far away so I have nobody close by to pal around with.
I agree with the commenter below. You do look awesome!! Glad to hear you're getting out and having lots of fun doing what you love.
Same! I miss being in pool league. I miss hustling pool. I miss the music. I’m 63 now and have started quilting…quite a difference, isn’t it? 😂
Dancing near the green beans!!!! 🙌🏼
Sounds so much like what I went through lol. That was 15 years ago. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I met my husband 15 years ago and often think where would I be now if I hadn’t pushed myself out of my comfort zone. The day we met was the first day of the rest of our lives. I’m 67 and he’s 72 we have not regretted a day since ❤
I totally get what you mean about music, especially live music. Last summer i got a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Metallica live, and I was pretty close to the stage! There’s nothing else like it it’s transcendental and spiritual for me. I’m going to two concerts next month and I am soooo excited. Both lesser known artists which is great because it’s more intimate and you’re actually on the floor near the stage, I don’t want to sit in some nosebleed seat where the artists on stage look like ants 😂😂😂
I tried one of these sites, probably about 15 yr ago. When I said I was unemployed I got things like I work that is keeping me too busy, and one said he had so many women wanting to see him that he just didn't have time for another one! Won't say what I said to myself after reading those. Finally met ine who not only lived in a town I had previously but in the same neighborhood. We met for lunch at a diner that was midway. Went reasonably well, enjoyed the "gossip" and what not. When I was leaving he insisted on walking me to my car. Then blocked me from getting in, and proceeded to keep trying to grab me and kiss me! YUCK! He did get my cheek before I finally got away. First thing I did at home was wash my face!!😂
Decided I just didn't want to go thru that any more. He kept calling, thank God for caller ID!
Where I am gonna dance with him ..next to the green beans....I fell over!😂😂😂👍🌞
That Sunday suggestion offended guy sounds like everything needs to be his idea and on his terms. I had an ex husband like that. If ever I suggested going somewhere if we ever did it he would moop and be unhappy. It got to the point where I'd just let him call the shots. It was more pleasant that way. Definitely a no-go when looking for someone these days.
I strongly agree with some others here. He obviously wanted to control you. Too bad for him. Love hearing your stories.
Double standards are a big red flag. Was he so good looking or the personality so fantastic that he was afraid you would get hung up. I think u handled it right. Tried internet dating til I realized they were the same as the dates I'd had w/last relationship and pulled the plug on my computer almost 20 yrs. ago.
Laughing I've been there done the online dating scene back in my fifties (about the same age as you Darlene) and had lots of fun, but made a deal with myself I wouldn't put up with game playing crap.
You are obviously good at spotting it too.
I did end up with one man who lived in another city but came here for business, and over the years we meet up several times a year, and before anyone asks he wasn't married lol
It worked well, I think why it did,was because we both felt comfortable and relaxed with each other.
I love your makeup. 💕
I'm sorry that it didn't work out. It's totally his loss. I've always run into men that want to be in charge and you're not allowed to be. I finally found one that treats me pretty much, like an equal 99% of the time. We all have bad days, you know. I'm not an angel all the time, either. Lol! It takes time to find a nice guy that will jive with you. In this day and age, it's even harder, though. Keep it up, though, Darlene, it will eventually work out.
Good music releases dopamine in your brain!
You are hilarious! What a great story 😂
Darleen, I was in the same boat! I didn’t want an old man to drink coffee with, I chose a younger crowd. You need a man in his mid forties. You are too lively of a woman to be with an old man! I was in my early sixties and I lied and told them I was 58. Men adore older women, no drama, not wanting to be spoiled, just want to have some great company and cut up a little! Had the time of my life!!❤❤❤
It is a nice set up to meet someone at the bar because if it doesn’t go well you can go your separate ways and call it a night. And not hurt no one’s feelings. Also your both in your own cars.I know you’re not in a hurry too meet someone but it would be nice to Meet some one at the bar dance away have a great time and you can tell if he is a drinker if he starts drinking too much and can controls himself.
I check out every single man at the bars I go to. They are either way too old acting, or they simply won’t dance, or they’re way too young, or they’re way too drunk, or they are sooooo not my type.
You can have a great time without having the alcohol
Well or course! I'm living proof of that!
You go girl
Thanks for the reminder about online dating!! I did that in my early fifties and it was a crap shoot for sure…I met some great guys but ZERO were ever interested in a permanent relationship. It was fun for awhile until it wasn’t and here I am 10 years later and can’t even remember my last date 😂
by the green beans. Sooooooooooooo Funny.
I fell apart on that one, too. 😂😂😂
Hey Darlene. When you said you went to Lafayettes do you mean the music room at Overton Square? My goddaughters band plays there. Seeing Red. She is the one with curly hair that plays guitar and keyboard .
Yes, that’s the place. I have not sees Seeing Red but I will watch out for them! That would be cool to meet your goddaughter!
🤣 lMAO. That guy was too much. 😂
I always had a great time without alcohol just water with lime. Glad u having fun
Look at you , manifesting songs to play.Fantastic I love it.
“Since I’m a dancing f’ing whore…”. 😂 OMG! We must be long lost sisters…. I love your sense of humor through all the bs. 😁
Staying single and doing me is the new empty nester!!!
Have you noticed any changes to your hair with your new high fat carnivore diet? Less grays? I’m 34, have been watching you for years.. you got me through some really hard times, love watching your journey
I had to go watch the video for Man in the Box and yeah, great song! Do you know Imagine Dragons and their music? I think you would really like them too.
Dodged a bullet with that one! Glad he showed how weird he was quick enough haha
Music speaks to a lot of people. I think it’s wonderful that you feel so happy when you’re hearing the music and dancing to it. It doesn’t surprise me that it changes you a a little bit each time for the better. I think it’s wonderful you have such a passion for it and you enjoy it so much. Everyone needs that in their life. Something to be passionate about to look forward to doing and enjoying every minute. I could not be happier for you. The dating thing is crazy, but you’ll work through it. It does sound brutal, but at least you figured it out early on and you know now what to look out for. Just keep going out and having fun because it’s wonderful seen the changes in you. You’ve never looked better and I don’t mean just the weight. You are becoming a different woman and I mean that as the biggest compliment ever.
Thank you for everything you just said.
Go for a short coffee date as a first meet. Less intimidating for shy people.
Fuck a coffee date. Boring!!! And I want someone who will go to bars and dance and they will be meeting my friends including the band members. They can't be shy!!!
wow that texts from him was F'ed up. hhhhaaaaaaaaa Jesus Crista don't Fing like me. I missed out on your videos for a few months, glad to see things seem to be going well for you.
Nobody asked for this, but:
Omg. I’m off the market, thank goodness. But when I was doing the online dating, I met a guy for dinner. I wasn’t even super attracted, but he was fun to talk to and seemed like a good guy.
At dinner, he asked me out for the following Saturday. We would go to the lake and it was going to be great. I spent the week getting my bathing suit coverup and sunscreen. We talked and texted all week. Then came Friday night. Crickets. I literally never heard from him again. (And he was still alive, btw.)
Online dating was so much more stressful than it needed to be. 😩😩 I hate that you’re dealing with the loons, but the rush you get in between the duds can be so fun.
I agree with you! Too far away too.
Yes, the distance was going to be a problem because I guarantee I would have been the one doing all the driving to see him.
@@darlene.michaud You know it should have been 50-50. You don’t need to bend over backwards for anyone! You have a lot to offer.
Definitely his loss!! Some men can’t handle a strong, independent dancing queen 😁 I’m hoping you will find a non drinking guy at the club who dances like no one is watching. Fingers crossed!
I love Man in a Box! Alice in Chains have a few hit songs that are similar and good. I love "Would?", "Rooster", and "Down in a Hole". So you may like their other songs too if you ever wanna check it out for fun. :)
The fact that Man in the Box is old makes me feel old. Oh yeah... it's not the 90s anymore😂. Damn, those & the 80s were fun years.
You are looking prettier and prettier with the weight loss. Best wishes for you!
He sounds like not a decent guy, forget him. You were right. It would be nice to find someone you can enjoy what you enjoy.
The red flags are waving with the farmer. He wants you to do what he wants. Men! That’s why I don’t date. Last person was totally not my type. But people say you’re being too picky. One date, took 4 or 5 months to get rid of him. Calling me at work to tell me good morning and have a nice day. I tell him morning don’t call me at work..😂
Quantum physics is my favorite... I have manifested some AMAZING things over the years.
i'm only 26 and divorced, and i thought it was just the men my age that act like this LOL! it's scary that they don't seem to get any better with age haha. good luck with everything darlene
Wowwww- didn’t want you to get hung up on him…..wtf ?? He’s way overestimating how amazing he thinks he is. 😂😂😂
A user. He will allow you to hang out with him until he finds someone better.
He’s the control freak 😳. Relax your “king” is out there just looking for you!!!
Love Metallica! Sad but true, and nothing else matters are also great songs. I've seen them twice in concert .
All about control because it wasn’t his idea. Glad you got it over with in a week. Took me three years of hell.
Thank you for your ant problem killer. Times I think my house is going to relocate I have so many ants.
No benefit of the doubt! Pink and orange flags are red flags. Bye Felicia! 😂
Aww mann, I should have kept watching.
He doesn't want you to get hung up on him. He's a little too unsecure. He lied and said he like to dance. Well where has he been doing all this dancing?? He has way too much old baggage hang ups.
Move on Darleen, who's Nezt.
I love how you can laugh it off. You're right, the dating sights are full of brutal cra-cras. These men are the ones that have issues with their past relationships, and don't know how to ket it go and move forward.
Boy you never know about those dating sites. “Sunday guy” was weird!
Darlene, hook-up isn’t the same meaning today, as it was when we were young-er.😳 You don’t hook-up with Gabriel in this era.🤣
You can “hook up” for dancing. It’s what he and I have together, and nothing else, so it’s a dancing hookup. And it’s more exciting than any sexual hookup!
