Here's to you, Mrs Robinson (Why are men attracted to older women?)

Well, being over the age of 40, the age of a hottie keeps increasing for me!

Unfortuantely, alot of guys when they get to a midlife crisis, start looking to the twenty-somethings for validation.

That suit behind Tur-Ay-saw is eyeballin' her caboose

Or maybe he's checking out the bottle of Jack Daniels she's carrying in her right hand.

At *base*, yes, but believe it or not there are some who are capable of what is mostly just "puppy love"! The cute old-fashioned kinds, not the outta-control post-modern beasts.


I don't listen much to modern pop either, but I do catch it sometimes, so usually I eventually hear of these things. Mostly I'm a country person (again, nicer culture not as into that sex-is-all crap ;-) ) as far as current stuff is concerned. I do like some newer pop songs, but mostly I listen to everything else that pre-dates the '90s and me.

or the gas cloud floating behind her....

Wow, so like when your 60 you'll want an 80 year old (somehow I doubt that)

Anyway - It doesn't matter...I'LL always be older than you. ;)

The way money makes a man seem powerful, the fact that an older woman must know more about sex than a young man makes her seem powerful. Sex is the big unknown at that stage, and an attractive woman who you imagine just by her years KNOWS all about that--and isn't competition, but wants the same thing as you, so that knowledge is no threat--makes her seem both attractive AND powerful.

My first two, um, close encounters were with older women, one 5 years older, one 15 years older. My experiences only made me a more considerate boyfriend in the years that followed.

Well, the country singer chicks are a pack of babes (Martina, Allison & Sara Evans in partic.) so I occassionally tune into CMT. (I know alot of freeperettes think the country guys are studs too). Good music for road trips too.

One of my son's best friends (22 years old) has a crush on me (48). He said he has always liked older women. I told him I was flattered but no way!!!! He even makes comments in front of my son, who laughs.

[pissant]

Your experiences made you more considerate to your boyfriend? That's brave of you to come out of the closet!

[Darkwolf377]

Maybe you should learn to read before you make yourself look so stupid:

"My experiences only MADE ME A more considerate boyfriend" (emphasis added)

Interesting how YOU are the one with homosexuality on YOUR mind--a little projection on your part. Freudian slip, there. Admitting your perversion is the first step.

[llevrok]

It's basic math. 28 can go into 50 more times than 50 into 28.

[pissant]

I figured that would get your ire up. Cheers. ;o}

[pissant]

you're a genius

I saw an old Benny Hill the other night. He was singing a song about older women. Something like,
"They don't tell,
They don't yell,
And they're grateful as hell."

[pissant]

Benny Hill is the best.

I was 17 and my girl friend's mom, 42. She was always sweet and had a "way" about her. Nothing overt, just that something.

When I got out of university, I stopped by to say hello. We shared a bottle of wine. Nothing happened other than a permanent soft spot in my heart for her and all classy women.

Be kind to the boy.

[ORECON]

My first girlfriend was an older woman. I was eight and she was nine. She gave me her lunch money to be her boyfriend and kiss her. Boy was I mad when my family moved to another state. Never did get another gig like that one.

[pissant]

You leech!

[ORECON]

I resemble that remark!

[RAY]

A rich woman can be just as nice (or sexy) as a poor woman!

Oh, I'm just joking ... she never had a penny to her name; it was the sex.

Oooookay!!
