I am not sure that the OP is being entirely honest, and I think he is joking. Some people do that on forums.

Say it ain't true!!!

When I was in my twenties and thirties, I was already short, so I dated women much older than myself. I never ran short of good looking, very nice women to date.

Yet then already I heard women belly-ache how older men (fifties) want to date women in their twenties, and not women in their fifties.

This made me feel very positive about my future sex life. I said, then, that if then I already had women coming out of my ears, then when I hit fifty, I'd have to rent special rooms for the machines that dispense numbers which the women would need to take to see when their turn comes up.

So I hit fifty... and nothing.

Absolutely nothing, I am telling you.

I am now 57, and I get ignored like you wouldn't believe. By women. In their fifties.

Not only do I get snubbed by them, but women in their twenties, thirties, forties, sixties, seventies, eighties and ninties also all turn me down. I kid you not, I am so hard up and desparate that I actually asked a 93-year-old out last fall, but she was really gorgeous. She said "no", naturally. She thought I was way below her league, she wanted to set me up with a lady we both knew who could only get around on a motorized schooter, coz she was so fat. And she had a brushcut. The ninty-year-old thought I'd be a better match for her than for herself. She was eyeing to get the twenty-three year old bodybuilder in our philosophy discussion group.

So wtf.

I have stayed away from this fifties-only forum because I think it's all a load of crap. Nobody can tell me that women want guys in their fifties. It's not the guys who don't want the women, both being fifty. A guy, a real man, a real masch, a macho mucho guy, a guy with joingo, a guy with mojo, will go for any woman any age.

It's the women themselves who don't want the guys in their fifties.

Gad, I am witness to this, big time. I have been rejected by all (about three to five hundred) women in their fifties whom I asked out since I turned fifty.

So please. Don't give me any more of that old, old wives' tale.

I WANT an old wife's tail, and been mislead by the old wives' tale, because nobody sure ain't giving me none.
