On first reading your listed names, I guessed your post as one of unmet needs. Seeing through your eye, as your page exposes it, changed my mind. You're kinda cute inside.

"With the arrogant, hostile attitude toward men you have, it's no wonder you're single"

I once found a woman on Match.com.
Her entire profile was a diatribe against men.

I wrote to her and suggested that while she looked attractive, she was not helping herself by
beating up on those that she was there to attract.
I received a reply that was pure verbal abuse.
She said I was ugly and stupid, and to mind my own business. I was told to never contact her again.

The next day, however, she had a totally different profile
that was much more appealing.

Now, all you single freeper girls over 40, send me your profile for a nice evaluation :))))

I listed the names because a dozen didn't seem possible, so I had to check. Never know when Alzheimer's will strike us older women.

I just didn't like the tone of the headline, as if ancient women are out there chasing down the hapless younger men who are just being polite to their elders when they "date" them. There seems to be a trend among younger guys to seek out older women. I don't know why - I certainly don't have any money, and I do have good morals. Maybe they expect they can learn something they need to know.....

LOL - that's why I don't want it. I cherish those moments before I shower in the morning and when I get ready for bed at night, when I don't have my contacts in. That is the only time I look absolutely perfect. ; )

Sorry.

It just brought to mind (or in your probable opinion mindless) old joke that a divorced 8 times freind of mine told me.

Get this.....He married one of the women 3 different times.

He married one other woman twice.

I asked him why he did that and said that he did not like being alone.

He always married women older than himself because he felt that they were easier to get .

He went on to say that he also hoped that he would outlive them because they were his retirement fund.

All of his ex wives are still alive...he died two years ago of a heart attack.

NEW YORK — Demi Moore (search) is not alone. Close to a third of unmarried American women in their 40s through 60s who date are going out with younger men,

40 percent of the women said they had sex in the past six months.

About 35 percent of the women felt they didn't have sex often enough.

Isnt it obvious why 1/3 of the women are choosing younger men?

[WhiteGuy]

Oh................

so now they aren't satisfyed with causing heart attacks and strokes in men their own age?

[Poohbah]

Or, as a guitarist friend summed it up: "Sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll. Pick one of the first two."

Wow, I was just pointing out my experience. I think it is a crying shame when I see the majority of the women living in my area supporting men who are chronically unemployed. This is due in part to a bad job market but when the situation continues year after year one begins you realize that these men don't work because they prefer to sponge. If observing this fact makes me a bitter,mean woman so be it. If I had not seen hundreds of cases like this I might have a better attitude. I am of the old fashioned belief that men should fulfill the function of provider and protector. Any man who is not of that mind set is in my opinion not a man and is therefor a waste of my time. I'm sorry that in your beliefs that means there is something wrong with me for feeling that way.

I dated a mid-30's woman when I was in my early 20's. It was a great relationship, and I certainly learned a lot from her. I brought a few qualities into the relationship as well. A 21yo man may not have a lot of experience, but he does have a lot of stamina.

There was never any question of the relationship being long-term (nor even monogomous on my part... I don't know if she had other partners). She ended it firmly, but very sweetly. I'll never regret it, and highly recommend the experience to young men who need to improve their skills.

[najida]

Makes sense to me.

Post in error, should read:

"WOMEN OVER FORTY SEEK ANY DATES!"

This seemed to have touched a nerve with some of the female Freepers...lol. I am 50+ yr of experience.

If you're surprised that women wouldn't react positively to being told they're easy to use for money and sex, and that is their primary appeal to younger males, you probably have a bit of a tin ear where women are concerned anyway.

In other words, I don't think you'll ever have to worry about what to do with Demi. : )

[.38sw]

You braggart, you!

My husband is six years younger than I am. I don't mind a bit.

[ValerieUSA]

Good going! That sounds like the perfect age gap.

Nothing in my original post, nor my reply to your posting to me gives any indication of surprise on my part. My ears are fine and operational. My posts indicates I have no interest in Demi Moore. You seem to be projecting a bit. Maybe you need to retract the claws....lol. Save then for when they are really neccessary....lol.

When you say something seems to have "hit a nerve", that would indicate surprise - unless that was your intent all along. Thinking you might not be the misogynist you appeared to be, I gave you the benefit of the doubt.

But don't worry - it won't happen again.
