"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.

Still projecting I see. Sorry, misogyny is not my cup of tea. and, I refuse to continue with this by suggesting any paranoid, passive-agreessive male-bashing tendencies on your part. Nope...I refuse to suggest that. Wouldn't be prudent!

I don't engage in male-bashing. I like men very much. Adult males who think like boys, I can do without.

[Senator Pardek]

Wait until you are 40 before you start whining about this.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Now how did I know I'd find you on this thread?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

LOL! Okay, I laughed at that one. Now I'm in trouble.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I'm 43, kiddo!

My boyfriend is younger than me and how sweet it is. I always get asked out by guys younger than me, but all men fall in love with me when they see me anyway. This one guy who was 17 saw me and wanted to go out with me and even asked me if I went to the catholic girls school. I was like HUH? and I told him the reason I didn't want to go out with him was because he was way too young. Then he copped an attitude about how age isn't important blah blah blah. I didn't want to go out with him because I was way out of his league. Males are really delusional. Men usually pout and stalk me until they finally get the picture I want nothing to do with them.

It's great dating younger no baggage like kids and wasn't wiped out financially by previous wives and child support and he didn't have like 3 marriages that went south. If a guy is divorced that's a red flag the wife threw him out for good reason. A guy who is that old who has never married is also another red flag that something is probably majorly wrong with him kinda like when kids pick teams and he is the last guy picked because nobody wants him. My younger guy is fun, successful, kind, goodlooking and is super sweet. The younger guy I'm with is the best man I ever met and I got suckered in by an older creep and he was the worst. I dumped him at the first hint of trouble.

I don't know. How did you know you'd find me on this thread?

The irony is for all the press Demis is getting about her young boyfriend, at 25 Ashton Kutcher is a year OLDER than Bruce Willis' new girlfriend, Brooke Burns.

[Tempest]

When I was 22 I dated this lady who was 35. Man! there was nothing old about her.

[Poohbah]

Ahem. One reason older women are going for younger guys: lots of men in the 40-something bracket have pretty much destroyed their...ahem...mojo...because of over-the-top living.

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

[Hildy]

How old are you?

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Well, I didn't know that. Interesting.

[Poohbah]

Why do you think that there's so much advertising on radio and via spam for Viagra, Viagra substitutes, et cetera?

[Radioactive]

Yeah and I still get in trouble when I tell that to a woman.

They seem not to apreciate the truth in the humor.

The real reason women hate that joke is because they know it is soooo true.

It seems that women are hit harder by aging than men.

It reminds me of the old joke......Why do men usually die before their wives?

Because they want to.

Or the old standard....Why did the woman cross the road?.......

That should not be the question.....

The question should be ...what the heck was she doing out of the kitchen!!!!!!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Actually, I thought it was for guys over 50. (I did.)

[GrandMoM]

....sounds like she's about ten!!!!!!!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Trick question. Not gonna bite :o)

Testify! ;)
