“You know,” he says. “It’s tough for people our age.”
It’s 1 a.m. on a Monday, and I am currently on the phone having an argument with a guy I’d been on only four dates with, three of them good. One of them—the last—was less good, given he had gone MIA for the better part of three weeks and I had a sneaking suspicion he had a girlfriend.
We hadn’t slept together, but the kisses had been the type of kisses you walk away from with shaky knees and blind hope. There was something there, and we both knew it, which is why we were attempting to hash things out over the phone at some ungodly hour. Because at our age, we’re adults, and things matter more. The mistakes leave marks.
Alex is 38. I’m 30. Technically, there are no “people our age.” But I’m starting to feel that a 30-year-old woman might as well be a 40-year-old man, though infinitely less desirable, culturally speaking.

I have tried to watch the show about the wedding dress a couple of times, when it happened to be on the tube.
What people will do for a wedding. Jeepers. I cannot imagine.
Hippie chick.

Not bad. If I was younger (and unmarried)...I’d give her a shot at letting me dump her.
now the right way is to pull up, text “he sexy, look out your front window” and be casually leaning on your fender with some flowers and a smile.
As long as she kept her mouth shut, it could work.
Many years ago....MANY, MANY years ago, I was a college student in California.
During a vacation period, I was visiting my parents who lived in Santa Barbara at the time. While there, I went to Robinson’s department store at a local mall.
There was a mousy looking girl, wearing glasses, working behind a cosmetics counter. She must have been in her early twenties.
As I walked by, I overheard her say to one of her female co-workers, “The guy I marry has to be good-looking, a millionaire” and then she mentioned a number of other qualities and stipulations that I no longer remember.
I had to fight the urge to say to her, “Sweetheart, what are YOU bringing to the table?”
i honestly don’t know why people get married these days. and i,m not talking about playing the field. playing the field gets you dead people are just so shallow and users of others. so ready to come down on someone for slight offenses. love is growing cold.
what a freaking girly magazine...!
Wow, YUCK...!
~Good grief lady...just grab a d!ld* and quit writing about your sex life.~
Exactly my thoughts.
no, i may still like to talk with a 60 year old lady.
she becomes a skank meth-head with herpes.
She’s hot. Very attractive.
You know what they say, “No matter how hot she is, somewhere there is a guy who is tired of her s—t.”
I won’t go through the signs but DUH! HE’S MARRIED!
I would definitely do some things differently.
Seriously? You think SHE needs cheeseburgers?
Morons.
Women have been taught to compete with men and cannot let that go in a relationship, it’s a constant power struggle with the attitude that any area in which the male is in control or does better must be defeated, or, barring that, belittled. The younger they get, the worse this behavior is. Those who were taught this from birth have a major complex and really are not marriageable. That would be born in the 80’s onward for most, 70’s for some, with a precious few who were raised traditionally who do not have this pernicious, destructive attitude toward marriage. They still want it, but undermine every single reason a male would want to do so, and then wonder why they’re still single, engaging in woe-is-me nonsense as demonstrated in this article.
Just a tad on the thin side.
No that there’s anything wrong with that
Good man. You’ve got that figured out :)
Just started dating a girl I haven’t seen since high school 35 years ago.
She’s got it all over these younger women.
Haven’t been this happy in years. :-)
