Ultimately, the most beautiful woman, if you stay married to her long enough, goes through menopause and might even have health problems...I keep mentioning Rush, but he married first a woman 20-30' then another the same age. Then a third 20-30 when he was in his mid forties, and now again, a woman of the 20-30 in his sixties.

Mameluke? Rush's wife Kathryn is not 20-30, she is 36. The dentist he was discussing FIRED his competent dental assistant because she was too attractive and he did not want the temptation. His wife was jealous, I think. In any case, the assistant sued for wrongful termination. . . based on sex discrimination. . . and lost.

And this was a story worth several days of discussion? A stupid dentist, his wife, a fired emplyee worth so much discussion about relative attractiveness? Rush marries women in their late twenties to early thirties. He's been married to his present wife for a few years now. Rush is in his early sixties. This age is a woman's prime and he's never had a relationship with a woman not in her prime of youth.

He's a wealthy and powerful man and can afford this serial marriage. I wouldn't be bringing it up except that its getting tiresome, his berating of women not sufficiently attractive. It reveals something quite unpleasant about himself, and an aspect I'd rather not see. He thinks he has to drive home the point of Hilary's unattractiveness constantly, as if he's saying something original. I miss the better discussions that dont involve his manderings about women and the fault they bear-he thinks-for ruining his favorite spectator sport of football. I also roll my eyes when he thinks he has something wise to say about marriage and the failure of attractiveness of women, when he just constantly replaces the older model with a newer.

It's one of his more tiresome pet issues, one of his undeniable truths of life. Only women in their prime years of attractiveness are worth any attention. Anything else is just carping feminism. Sheesh. He's got millions, and he can have the women he wants. But he'll never have a wife who has been a friend for life, and neither will all these pathetic, porn-addicted men.
