There is more than one reason why men in their forties often marry women twenty years younger than them--middle aged women often have an unbearable chip on their shoulder. Who would want to spend the rest of their life with someone like that?

[Raised eyebrows.]

You know, Beckie, I am not one to bother you too much. I generally refrain from posting to you (compared to others), but I must say that this simply shows your breathtaking lack of maturity (spiritual and otherwise).

I would think, given your background, that you would have learned a little something about a Christ-centered marriage by now.

So, when you're forty (and you WILL be...one of the little ironies of all this) and your husband dumps you for a sophomore snow bunny, get back to me. I'm sure you'll blame it all on the "chip on your shoulder".

The fact is, most - if not all - of the women you seem to be alluding to have very happy marriages with very satisfied and happy husbands.

If you're going to make statements like this and do Monica Lewinsky-style flirting with men in their forties and fifties, I know I'm not the only one here who would very much appreciate you requesting a new screen name. Please. That's all I ask of you.

This could get me banned, I suppose, but that's all right. If I got something through your head, it's worth it.

I can't imagine why, but stranger things have happened.

Your post is very accurate and again points out the impresson given by the immature antics of a very young person attempting to keep pace with people old enough to be her parents.

Nine out of ten times, if it's overboard (and this is), it can be misleading. A little innuendo and coyness mixed together are often mistaken to mean something other than what was intended; sometimes it is intentional. Either way......this is not the place for it.

I once heard someone say "But enough about me. Let's talk abut you. What do YOU think about me?"

Sound like anyone you know?

Oh the drama. I would not ask to get you banned and nothing you have said is offensive to me.

In many ways, I do see what you are saying, but I still believe I have made a point of women here who have obvious chips on their shoulders.

And I am attracted to guys my own age, or around it, not the ones my dads age. LOL.

So do you still like the song "I Want to Sex You Up"?
