saggy old husbands- are their wives really attracted to them?

Comment below is clearly male bashing. Not the first or second or ... comment of this type by this poster.

 

Yes, I can see how that is considered male bashing.

 

However, I do believe that a lot of men want to be the envy of every man when they walk in the room with their wife and the better she looks the better he feels about himself.

I've been invited to yet another holiday dinner party. My hostess confided in me that she was attempting to rustle

up a single man to partner me with at the dinner, she invited a 63 yr old gent, he thanked her but asked if she could find somebody younger to partner him with, I'm in my early 50's

 

I really wish my so called friends would stop with the attempted fix up's. I've decided that I don't want to be reduced to begging for dates with 70 yr olds. I'd prefer to stay alone and simply pay for sex and companionship on an as needed basis. Now to find a discrete, reliable escort service:)

Hopeful,

You are perceptive and tactful - killer combo. I like to read your posts.

 

We all occasionally post things that we later regret. My bashing comment is based on a consistent pattern of posts of the type below. I don't call someone a basher lightly - nor do the other posters here.

Why are you trying to deflect and change this into a personal slant on me instead of dicussing the topic?

 

You don't like what I have to say. And that's fine. But spinning it your way and calling me a male basher just because you don't like what I have to say, is not cool. You rather bash me or make snide comments about who you think I am and how you think men react to me then directly talk about in agreement or disagreement with the things I said. Many men today DO think they deserve VS models. But since most men don't get that, they settle for average girls then spend the rest of their lives drooling over every other hot woman that crosses their path. Am I wrong? Seriously? Are you going to tell me I am wrong here? Men ARE critical about womens' bodies and DO make derogatory remarks about our bodies. Again, am I wrong? We both know I am not. Which is why you choose to make personal slants on me instead of taking the time to talk about my direct comments and disagreeing with them with hard proof.

Speaking of hard proof, where's yours? When do you ever support your beliefs with facts? The point is that it's basically impossible to prove anything in this topic, which is why they're called beliefs. It's unfair at best for you to demand proof but not hold yourself to the same standard.

Seriously, how long are you going to beat the same dead horse(s)? Year after year until your a bitter old woman instead of a bitter young woman?

Why not? It's what a lot of men do. When you see a much older man with a younger woman, she's there for the money (or something other than love). It's legal. I say go for it, just be carefull!

Thank you for the compliment.

 

I believe you wouldn't say something like that without a consistent pattern. I've noticed in your posts that you are very honest and thoughtful. I appreciate it.

 

I appreciate Jersey's honesty as well, however imprudent.

I think that bottom line.. women are much harder on themselves about their appearance than men are on themselves..

 

Most men don't care if their partner, who they love, have gained some weight.. it's part of the process of aging... in most cases.

 

Older single men will certainly enjoy having a trophy gf (much younger).. but it's not a priority if they're looking for long term IMO.. same with women.. I know I love being with a 20-something male... but to be totally honest.. I know it would be totally ridiculous to think I can have a long-term relationship with the guy... It's sure fun once on a while.
