I did that, back thirty-forty years ago.

I specialized on dating older women. The logic was, that all women get old, so if they are old now, and good now, then chances are that the situation continues. Whereas a new woman can get unattractive as she ages, or gain enormous amounts of weight, whereas a truly beautiful woman never loses her beauty and hefty deposit accounts. However, to know she is truly beautiful, you have to know what she'd look at 50, and that is only possible under the present circumstances, what with the living in the time-space continuum of our universe, if you look at her when she's 50.

I sort of was betting on the inertia of beauty, so to speak. I was thinking, if a beautiful woman is hurtling through space, then unless some outside force acts on her, she'll remain a beautiful woman hurtling through space (on the face of our planet). The operative concept here was that she'll not merely stay a hurtling mass or a hurtling woman, but also she'd continue being a hurtling beautiful woman, not merely a hurtling woman.

So this was my guiding line, except the deposite accounts, coz at the time I was a bit way too horned up to go after things that didn't move (such as a bank safety deposit box, or expensive Jewellery.)

In 2001 in a fateful philosophy class I was taking for diversion, (to get away from the attention of my then 68-year-old lover, who was demanding more and more and I could not keep up with her at all) the teacher proved that beauty is not everlasting. She used the proof of getting elephantitis in the middle of course, and while she was a knock-out at sixty-one years of age in the beginning of the course, she became a 342 lbs horrible-looking creature by the time of the finals.

I gave up dating in a hurry after that.

The love of knowledge... can hurt you, but it's liberating, like a glass of... feeling better.

Are you implying there's another type?
