People often try to say that old women are great because they've got all of the maturity, life experience and maybe they've even read a few books. You do indeed come across the ocasional senior citizen that's a really interesting person and they're not just all a bit doo laly, like your granny.

Now, the problem is this. Compared to when you meat a young dolly bird you can find yourself thinking, "Ugh, no. This is maybe a bit shallow of me but what I'm noticing here are physical imperfections and it's like, you know; some women like pretty boys and some like craggy faced types and that's fine and it should also be alright for me to say that I just like pretty girls."

The problem here is, you associate naturally
occurring conditions to ugliness.

Got a mirror?

That is alright to say how you feel but I am wondering WHY you are bringing this up?

good one

Well, I thought it would be an interesting topic.

Maybe I do a bit though. I'm concerned at the minute that I might have to have a back tooth extracted. The tooth isn't visible anyway but once you start losing them your face starts to look all shrunken, like Beethoven, if you don't wear dentures.

Yeah, there's a mirror in my bathroom. I can shave without it though.

Now, I believe that you can alter your ideas about what's atractive. I wouldn't have looked twice at a chubby girl when I was in my twenties. Wasn't interested in older women either, although the likes of Jane Fonda still looked alright. Tried dating an older woman later and to a point they can still look sexy. It's hard to say exactly what that point is but to give an example: falling over drunk is only really a look that a young woman can pull off.

But anyway. What happens if you've tried dating "appropriately" and you did love her and all of that but it didn't work out and you aren't going to grow old together after all? What happens if the next one shows similar signs of aging but you're even less inclined to look beyond that because what's beyond it isn't what you loved and she's not the same woman?

I brought it up because I think that there is a bit of a double standard. As I said, some women like pretty boys and some don't. I've never considered myself to be a pretty boy but some women still fancy me, so I'm fine with that. I certainly wouldn't want to date a woman that looked like me. Why should I have to? I just don't get it.

Everyone yes is entitled to like what they like. I have to admit that I like younger more attractive men myself ....I don't even want to say the age of my current but we get along great cuz he's much more mature than a lot of men my age which is good for me lol. We have been together almost a year and half now. Can't say we will be together for ever but its good for now. I do also have an open mind for men my age, just haven't found that one yet. And yes I have dated my age since my divorce.

I just want to add that if you are really truly in love, you do see beyond the wrinkles, age and whatever else might turn you off at first glance. You tend to see through all that shallowness to their soul.

Older women..hmm.. nothing wrong with a good gummer from time to time...

I have all my own teeth thank you very much.

Well in that case!! there's nothing wrong with a good.hmmm..what do you call it when thay use to much teeth..?

vampire

Someone said it was called knocking on the knob.. scraping the bone...
. Plowing the field...

being a middle aged guy interested in a young hottie
not that unusual ya know


usually involves having a sports car
and a lot of dough


how ya doing in that area by the way?

This reminds me of that thread we had about the guy who
could not stand that his girlfriend went poo every day
at his place, in the mornings (having had sex the
night before.)

If you are going to find things to judge other people
by, it should at the least be things over which they
have some control.

Otherwise, I am guessing, every single day will be
torture for you.

well said

My thoughts exactly! Once you have truly bonded with someone, you should grow old together and the natural physical changes should mean nothing to the relationship ... except maybe roadsigns of how it grew stronger.

Well, let's just put it this way. If I was making a lot of dough I wouldn't actually broadcast the fact on the internet, if you know what I mean.

Yes, It is a bit like the thread about the guy that didn't like his bird pooping I suppose. I'm not that bad though.

I think that I would rather judge people about things that they can't do anything about. I mean, say someone is an idiot. Well, he's just an idiot then. No point in telling him to go and read a book. He won't. It's not like when someone, say, wears a silly hat that makes them look like an idiot. They could take it off. They don't have to look like an idiot.

Very well thank you

But my car is not to attract chicks (altho it does attract a lot) i just love cars

haha yes I remember that one. I was just reading through my messages a year ago before I left mingle and the poo thread was pretty much the last threads I posted in....ridiculous thread lol

Because that's right. To take my example, of the idiot that can't help being an idiot, every day would indeed be torture if you kept asking him if he had read a book yet.

To stretch the analogy further, if I can; if he was getting more idiotic every day the torture would surely become unbearable.
