- You guys are cracking me up. Everyone is so hung up on age...especially women
- . I am 36 and granted society forces us into two choices. You can either go
- with the aging process and whine about how men are attracted to younger women
- or you can get off your butt and exercise. Louise...I don't know you but I
- can tell you this....if you work at your body you will feel good about
- yourself. I have a teen-age daughter and a 9 year old son. I am very
- physically active...I bike, I dive...I rollerblade with my kids. I keep
- dating guys much younger than me because most of the men my age are too drab.
- They complain about their ailments.....they just bore me. I am sure that's
- how monay people feel...not must men...
-
- I too get down about getting old. But don't just sit back and whine..if you
- are unhappy about it then do something. Beleive me...if you are young and
- vibrant of heart and take care of your appearance men of all ages will be more
- attracted to you because of your level of maturity and wisdom...but you have
- to lighten up. Try dating younger men yourself! I have girlfriends that are
- in their 20's....I like them but you are right Louise...alot of them are
- difficult to talk to because they are still gaga about men. And you are right
- ..many of them want a daddy...but not all of them. It depends on the woman.
- My husband left me for a younger women after 16 years of marriage. I am glad.
- I am having much more fun and he is miserable because he hangs out in singles
- bars and lives a completely airhead existance.....he wanted sex with young
- women and than's what he got.....lots of it...he is gorgeous and rich and the
- young women tell me he is "hot".
-
- If you see men that are into that then let them be.....you aboviously wouldn't
- want them anyway. If you are having trouble meeting men then I will suggest
- Scuba Diving. I started it because I always wanted to learn ...but what a
- great way to meet people! Try some new activities. Join the "Adventures
- Club".
