When you get right down to it, identifying yourself by your chronological age is overt dissimulation. Virtually no one is her chronological age. There are 60-year-old women who do not fit the stereotype of a 60-year-old woman. We all know that. If she says she's 60-years-old, she knows she's putting a mental image of a 60-year-old stereotype into our minds, we who are her potential friend or mate.

If she tells you her chronological age, she's telling a lie. She doesn't fit that stereotype and should not use it as an identifier of who she is. Instead, she may actually fit the stereotype of the 50-year-old woman better than she does that of the 60-year-old. Consequently, she would be communicating a better and more accurate representation of herself, if she identified herself with the stereotype she most resembles rather than the stereotype of the age-delimited class she was formerly bound to identify herself with.

This is a new era. Her chronological age no longer holds her in thrall to the schoolmates and other peers she grew up with. If they're now old before their time, they're old. That's them. It doesn't mean everyone else in that peer group is old. It also doesn't mean that any singular one of them should now serve as the poster girl of what a 60-year-old woman should be. In fact, these poster girls are all the exception, the rare oddity for decreptitude that originally attracted the media to identify as what a 60-year-old is.

If you don't think and act the way your former schoolyard friends now think and act and live their lives, then you're obviously of a different age...usually younger, of a higher caliber. In the final analysis, a woman is simply the age she knows herself to be. She knows this by easily identifying herself with the age-group to which she knows she belongs. Ultimately, age-ist thinking is based on erroneous stereotypes and, like other lies, needs to be challenged with the following mind-set: "Don't ask how old I am, just accept how old you think I am."

Post #: 1

There are an awful lot of threads about age lately.

um.
actually that's post number one hundred thirty one.

Of course. It's a New Age.

What's it matter what post? Are you an accountant?

Cougar Hunters,

MILF divers,

Horney Dogs,

Whatever...

Who's leg do I got to hump to get a date?

Someone is persistent with this issue.

Why did you say at the bottom of your post that it was post #1, then get defensive when she compared it to the number of posts you actually have?

I didn't write it and wasn't defensive about it. I just assumed the site had forgotten what I'd done here and started me fresh with post #1. When she claimed exception, it made me wonder the importance of whether it was post 131 or 132. And, I "never" wrote "post #1. That was their program that included it. I didn't see it until after I posted the message. Until then, it had either been underneath the screen or was added at the moment I posted the thread. That's what happened.

We've been having quite a few men start posts on this subject. It's getting old. That's all. Sorry.

Exactly. What's it matter to begin with? What's it mean? Why are we off discourse? New modes of censorship?

does it matter?
no.
nothing matters.
the end.

word of warning if an older man wants a younger girl and there is lets say 38 years difference she needs to know if it's love or just use and abuse the older man wants...

it happen to me it can happen to you...


Be careful with anyone you meet and marry...

age is a chronological measure of how many years one has lived

that people of the same age are different doesnt make their age a lie, it just makes them individuals

whatever stereotypes people have about ages are bound to exist through personal interpretation and experience and be valuable to the person for whom that experience is relative


My 72 year old mother is 72 because she has lived 72 years

has she taken care of herself like the 'average' 72
or had the experiences of the average 72

dont know, and dont care,,,she is still 72..and amazing

You should attribute your post at the very
beginning, if it is written by someone else.

We are used to people with their own thoughts.
Interest wanes for regurgitated stuff.

I don't give a rat's razoo how old anyone is...I couldn't give a flying fart what the age on someone's birth certificate says....

I want to know what they know, what they have seen, what they feel, what affects them, what opens their hearts, and makes their soul sing...


day of birth and the tic of the clock are irrelevant in the Who of someone.

its not so much that age will guarantee anything (good or bad) but it is a reasonable gauge of general life experience(With exceptions)


I am pretty sure a single male in his early to mid twenties hasnt come through what I have as a single mom in her early forties,, he would have alot of life yet to experience that I dont want to go through again just to keep from being alone

Id rather have the partner who is at a similar point in lifes path that I Am....

Cougars need love too!


But then again so do horney old dogs too!


Let's jsut say sex is just a messed up game with arbitrary rules and a questionable playfield.

He's 80, she's 25 and she swears she loves him (and Viagra still works on him) who are we to complain?

And on the same playfield she is 75 and he is 22 and swears up and down he loves her and she him? Again who are we to judge?

The way I see it is there are millions of people (Well... Billions in fact) and "Missionary Position only heterosexualtity" is not everyone's bag let alone viewing any age barrier. Yes some people got mommy or daddy issues mixed with their sexuality. Others just want to get theirs! In a desert ANY Oasis looks like Nirvana! Heck, some people prefer sex with animals. Are we getting sick here or what? So is age difference really all that bad?

Age is just a number. It is what is between the ears that counts. But likewise we are all messed up to some degree or extent. Some more than others. This is indeed an imperfect world.

And we likewise are imperfect.

Need I say more???

Banana Dance!

Wulfen,,,this post seems MUCH,,to many here as its been in many post's topic's...and talked,,talked,,talked,,,lol..so there's many bored of its presents,,,thats all...

I just wished everyone truly wanted to employ as much effort into a person,,as they seem to have the time to post in the threads here.

For IF their talents of asking questions,,and seeing the responses, were merely expressed to one individual instead of random selections of whoevers,,,,THEN,,they have started to open their walls and letting another person into THEIR world....

But hey,,,I'm just a reader here with bad typing skills,lol
