I think elf ears make pretty women look hotter.

Pretty women have always had the world by the tail. We humans love YOUNG pretty women and YOUNG handsome men...always have and always will.
When women turn 35 or so, men stop looking at them, even if they are "still pretty."
After ALL the years of women's lib NOTHING has changed. Women are STILL judged by their looks, face and body.

All men oogle and stare at the pretty women. YOUNG women look at pretty women to compare. The only ones who don't care about looking at pretty women are us older broads. Men and young women ignore us. Young women and men deny this but, being an older woman, I KNOW what I say is true.

I always tell the young women, "JUST WAIT until the guys start looking past you and stop even SEEING you." They don't believe me, of course, thinking I'm just a bitter old woman. Haha, they just have to wait a while and they will know the truth of being an invisible old woman.

Caveat: I was waxing poetic on this in my mind and I walked past an OLD, OLD man and was about to ignore him.....and I stopped and looked at him.
He was staring up at me with a melting look of love. :o) I was STILL attractive to men, but the men were in their 90's!!!
Hahaha, life is so interesting, isn't it?

Not true. Not in my experience. Maybe teenage boys and guys of 22 don't look, but men in their late twenties until they're in their coffins still look.

A lot depends on how a middle-aged or older woman moves, dresses, and expresses herself. And I don't mean at all in a cheap, flashy, sexy way.

My dear Friend,

I know of no Medicine fit to diminish the violent natural Inclinations you mention; and if I did, I think I should not communicate it to you. Marriage is the proper Remedy. It is the most natural State of Man, and therefore the State in which you are most likely to find solid Happiness. Your Reasons against entering into it at present appear to me not well-founded. The circumstantial Advantages you have in View by postponing it are not only uncertain, but they are small in comparison with that of the Thing itself, the being married and settled. It is the Man and Woman united that make the compleat human Being. Separate, she wants his Force of Body and Strength of Reason; he, her Softness, Sensibility, and acute Discernment. Together they are more likely to succeed in the World. A single Man has not nearly the Value he would have in that State of Union. He is an incomplete Animal. He resembles the odd Half of a Pair of Scissors. If you get a prudent, healthy Wife, your Industry in your Profession, with her good Economy, will be a Fortune sufficient.

But if you will not take this Counsel, and persist in thinking a Commerce with the Sex inevitable, then I repeat my former Advice: that in all your Amours you should prefer old Women to young ones. You call this a Paradox, and demand my Reasons. They are these:

1. Because as they have more Knowledge of the World and their Minds are better stor’d with Observations, their Conversation is more improving and more lastingly agreeable.

2. Because when Women cease to be handsome, they study to be good. To maintain their Influence over Men, they supply the Diminution of Beauty by an Augmentation of Utility. They learn to do a 1,000 Services small and great, and are the most tender and useful of all Friends when you are sick. Thus they continue amiable. And hence there is hardly such a thing to be found as an old Woman who is not a good Woman.

3. Because there is no hazard of Children, which irregularly produc’d may be attended with much Inconvenience.

4. Because thro’ more Experience, they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion. The Commerce with them is therefore safer with regard to your Reputation. And with regard to theirs, if the Affair should happen to be known, considerate People might be rather inclin’d to excuse an old Woman who would kindly take care of a young Man, form his Manners by her good Counsels, and prevent his ruining his Health and Fortune among mercenary Prostitutes.

5. Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part. The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever, so that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.

6. Because the Sin is less. The debauching a Virgin may be her Ruin, and make her for Life unhappy.

7. Because the Compunction is less. The having made a young Girl miserable may give you frequent bitter Reflections, none of which can attend the making an old Woman happy.

8thly and Lastly. They are so grateful!!

Thus much for my Paradox. But still I advise you to marry directly, being sincerely Your affectionate Friend.

B. Franklin
